Lost ability to create final cut movie from sequence...

I'm on Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 and cannot create a Final Cut Pro movie from
a sequence. When I go to my export functions, I only get QuickTime options.
I made a Final Cut Pro Movie yesterday, so it does work. Any suggestions most welcome.
Additionally, in printing to tape (to PD150 Sony cam through firewire), the video captures fine, but the audio (aiff stereo tracks on track one and two) cuts out intermittently throughout recording. Again, any assitance most welcome.
thank you.

Yes, just recently upgraded, so I got confused about the QT/FCP movie.
Thank you.
In terms of the print to tape, I selected the file and went print to tape from
the created QT movie. Only small problem were two very small audio pops
on the tape that don't exist on the QT movie. Could it be a dirty deck head
or is there something I'm not doing?
Either way, thank you both for your help.

Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

Can I move Final Cut Studio from a MBP to a new iMac?

I'm buying a new iMac tomorrow and I want to be sure that I can move Final Cut Studio from my Macbook Pro over to the new iMac. I have all of the original install DVD's and serial numbers and so on. Just a customer wanting to make an informed purchase.
Thanks,
Hunter Hanson

It should install without problems.

Final cut movie file dependency?

I'm hoping someone can explain to me how exactly "final cut express movie files" work. I've read that they're just .mov files, and I know that if I change what program they're set to open with they show up as "quicktime movie files" instead; what's confusing me though is that I thought they were independent of the project file, render files, etc but when I transferred several to another computer (having created them by exporting to quicktime in FCE), now only one of them will play (in quicktime - this computer doesnt have FCE). On one computer I've tried, quicktime just hangs, and on another, the file opens but it's only audio. Now one of them won't even play on the computer it was created on. I also have an iDVD project that references one of these movies, and opening that project file I get an error that it's searching for a referenced file - NOT the final cut movie file itselef, but apperenetly something that file is referencing (I'm not on that computer now so can't give the exact message but it's something with "Seq-1" in it as I recall). I may have also gotten that error opening one of the movies in quicktime, I can't remember anymore...
But it really seems these final cut movie files are referencing something - is that how it's supposed to be?? I have some I've made from previous projects that work just fine totally independently (I've deleted everything else from those projects). Any idea what's going on this time?
I'm using both FCE HD and FCE version 1 - the only movie that seems to be working independently was exported from version 1, but the others were from HD. Sorry I don't have more details about the errors, I'll try to post more later when I'm at home.
Thanks in advance!

It is a regular .mov file. It's just that it is dependent on its Project and its Render files
and also, just purely out of curiosity, what would have happened to that render file that's missing on the computer the movie was edited on? I haven't deleted any render files, did it somehow just disappear?? Thanks!
I have found that Render Files seem to get lost. Whether they are deleted in some way or it's just that FCE can't find them, I don't know.
As far as opening the FCE Project is concerned, you can easily re-render to replace any missing Render Files, but I don't like Reference QT Movies (the Dependent ones) - see my recent post at:

What is Final Cut Movie anyways?

Hello guys,
lately, I am having problems with my videos exported as Final Cut Movie.
They work fine on my own machine, but they don't play on my friend's computers, even on brand new iMac with QuickTime 7 installed.
QT refuses to open the file. File's icon on their desktop does not show QT logo, but when I right click for file info, it says: File type - Quick Time Movie
So I am wondering, what is Final Cut Movie anyways? Is it true QT file, compatible with QT players worldwide? Or is it just kind of intermediate format, only meant to be converted into some more compatible format?
Thank you so much.

I have created this file by exporting it from Final Cut timeline using: Export as Quick Time Movie. So the file was created by Final Cut.
Yes, it was created by FCP so it will have an FCP icon. But you can change the default opening application to QuickTime Player in the Finder's 'Get Info' window.
But even then, as David S. has stated, that says nothing about the codec used to make the file.
If, when you exported from FCP you made a self-contained movie and did NOT "Recompress All Frames" then the codec used will be the same codec as used in your FCP Sequence. So if you were working in a DV Sequence, the codec used to create the movie will also be QuickTime DV (aka QuickTime DV/DVCPro).
If you made a reference movie by the same method, it will also be the same codec, but won't play on any other system without the original media and render files.
In any event, exporting a QuickTime Movie by the above method will create an identical copy of what you have in the Sequence. But it won't play on any other system without the proper codec installed on that system.
Is it true QT file, compatible with QT players worldwide?
This is a misunderstanding of what a QuickTime file actually is. The ubiquitous QuickTime Movie (.mov) is merely a container and the audio and video streams contained within could have been made from any number of codecs. The same is true on the Windows side of things with the .AVI file type. Unless the codec used to create the file is installed on the viewing system, the file will not play.

Problem Burning Final Cut Movie Using Autoplay Feature

I exported a Quicktime movie I made from Final Cut Pro. I wanted to burn my DVD without having the menu at the beginning, so I dragged my movie (from the "Media" link) into the autoplay box in the map view. It seems to work well-the preview shows the movie has been imported. However, after burning the DVD I get no response from my DVD player, or two other players I've used. I get error messages and the DVD does not play automatically.
When I go back and import the Final Cut movie into a DVD theme, not using the autoplay box, and burn the DVD everything turns out fine! I cannot figure out why it doesn't work when I drag the movie into the autoplay box, but works great if I import the movie from File>Import>Video.
Not sure if this matters, but when I exported my Quicktime movie from Final Cut I did not make the movie "self-contained." Any help on this would be great!

Hello Wade,
you should always create a disk image from your iDVD project. That way you can test it with DVD Player before actually burning to disc and rule out burn errors by burning at slow speed with DU.
Not sure if this matters, but when I exported my Quicktime movie from Final Cut I did not make the movie "self-contained."
That may well be one of the problems. If you do a search on the FCP board, you'll find that most experienced users recommend exporting as self-contained.
I'd suggest exporting a self contained QT movie from your timeline, then creating a disk image.
hope this helps

Exporting Final Cut Movie Frame as High Resolution Photo

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to take a frame in a final cut movie and export it as a high resolution photo? My supervisor has taken some great video footage and would like to use parts of it to make a calendar. I've tried exporting in quicktime, but the highest resolution I get is 72 dpi.
Even if there's a 3rd party program that will do this if Final Cut won't, please let me know. Thank you!

There are any number of up-rez tools for Photoshop that do a pretty good job of creating pixels where none exist. Simply resampling at a larger size/pixel count often creates acceptable results. But, as stated, there are only a limited number of pixels available: whatever you shot with. If you shot with a fabulous high def (not HDV) camera, you might have as many as 1080x760 some odd pixels.

HT201109 Why can't I open a final cut project from one computer in another computer?

I'm using Final Cut Pro Trial. Why can't I open a final cut project from one computer in another computer? When I try to open the project on my desktop it doesn't recognize the format. Please help!

I downloaded FCPX trial on my laptop as well as on my desktop. I did some editing on my laptop but I need to get the project I created on my laptop onto my desktop. When I import the project onto my desktop the videos are Red and they say "Missing File."

Importing a Final Cut Movie to iMovie

Hello to all of you, lately I've been having problems importing a movie made in Final Cut (.mov) to iMovie. The iMovie just freezes in the last part. I do this because I wanted to import it later to iDVD so I could have chapters, created so I could separate the scenes where I wanted not where the machine told me.
This movie was two hours long (24 GB aprox.)
Does anyone how to help me with this?

You should be able to send your Final Cut movie to iDVD without having to use iMovie. You can make your own chapter markers in Final Cut.
If you are not planning to burn to a dual layer DVD, you will have to shorten your movie by a few minutes. Two hours is the maximum total content that you can put onto a single layer DVD, and that includes the iDVD menus. Even if your menus are simple, you will not be able to burn a movie over about 1 hour 57 minutes. Dual layer DVDs can hold twice as much as single, so you should be ok if your drive can burn dual layers.
But now, since you already have the movie into iMovie, to get it to work, try exporting it as QuickTime Full Quality. You will need enough hard drive space to do this, since you will be creating a duplicate of your movie. If you have an external drive, have it saved to that drive.
Then, open a new iMovie project, drag the new quicktime movie into it, shorten it by a couple of minutes if you need to, and create your chapter markers. Close iMovie. Open a new iDVD project, drag in the iMovie made with the qt movie.
Should burn fine.

Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

Hello,
I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
What is wrong?
is it my Macbook?

I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.

I just purchased Final Cut Pro from the App Store and it will not download to my computer. I try and install it from my purchases file but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO ???

It's on the back of the installation booklet. If you've lost that, and have some proof of purchase, it can probably be sorted out by contacting Apple.

No. You simply sign in to the App Store and download it again. AppStore knows that you already paid for it.

Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

Hi all,
Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
Looking forward to ur reply.

Hi
OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.
