Mavericks' iMovie won't export project to Final Cut Pro

Upon updating to Mavericks and its accompanying versions of iLife, I do not see where the option in iMovie to open a project in Final Cut Pro X is.
Likewise, attempting to import an iMovie project from Final Cut only creates a blank project with the iMovie project name and then crashes Final Cut Pro.
Is there any way to regain this feature?

This sends the iMovie to FCPX 10.1. If you are not on FCPX 10.1, it will not work.
I recently tried this with one of my iMovie 10 projects and it all worked perfectly. Nothing changed in Final Cut Pro X (unlike when using the previous method with iMovie '11). All clips, titles, transitions, audio tracks, edit points and so forth were intact. I was then able to add further embellishments in FCP X. It's a delight using FCP X, given its flexibility and greatly expanded feature set compared to iMovie 10.
Here's the iMovie 10 Help topic:

    Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

    Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
    Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
    You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

  • Command to Export project as Final Cut Pro XML from jsx script

    Hi All,
    Can somebody get me the command to export the project as final cut pro xml from jsx script.
    I was using the extension builder script earlier for cs6 panel development, so we were using pjct.exportFinalCutProXML("pathname");
    Now I am working for panel in Premiere CC so working on HTML 5 panel and qe dom scripting(.jsx).
    In some jsx examples i got there is script to export sequence as final cut pro xml but cannot get the code for project export.
    project.activeSequence.exportAsFinalCutProXML(entire_out_path);
    Also please let me know if there are any kind of reference available about all the functions and properties in the pe dom scripting for premiere pro cc.
    I am using premiere pro cc 7.1, windows 7, Eclipse Kepler.
    Thanks in advance,
    Anoop NR

    When you reimport the exported project XML to FCP, do you get the full project or just the single bin/sequence? If you get the full project then it sounds like you need Premiere help, not FCP help ... have you tried asking on the Adobe forums? If you only get the single bin/sequence then it seems you might have inadvertently selected those prior to creating the project export. Try making sure that your FCP Browser window is active and that you have not selected anything within that window prior to using the File > Export > XML command. If that still causes issue then you might try using an earlier FCP XML version.
    Hope it helps

  • Export project from final cut pro to Avid

    What are my options to create a workflow that implies doing my last trims on Avid (Adrenaline and Nitris?)
    My idea is to create almost ended videos on Final cut Pro 5 by myself and expend a last day or two on an Avid Nitris to do the final touches, mixing audio and output the stuff...
    the videos are industrial video and small budget commercials that requires more effects that Final Cut can offer me...
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    First off, you'll need PRO EXPORT FCP>AVID from www.automaticduck.com.
    Then you'll need to recapture all the footage used in the sequence into the Avid, since FCP and Avid capture media differently.

  • Why can't i export projects in final cut pro x

    I keep on getting this    file:///Users/jackhedaya/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202013-11-07%20at%2011.07.43%20PM .png

    Have you disabled App Nap for FCP X & Compressor?   Why haven't you updated to 10.1.1? It is working very smoothly for me - but I have a top 'O the Line latest IMac.  How old is your computer? Is it too old for the altest FCP X?

  • I cant export my Project in Final Cut Pro 10.0

    Hello, I have been trying to export in any possible way my 1 minute project with Final Cut Pro 10.0 and have several problems, among those problems as soon as I click under: SHARE / APPLE DEVICES and/or MEDIA BROWSER / PUBLISH ---> There is the following problem that I dont have any idea:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
    in the past days it was working great and now not even EXPORT MOVIE is Working at all, doesnt even show the pop out window to continue to export it...
    DOES ANY BODY HAS ANY CLUES ON HOW TO SOLVE IT??
    In running Mavericks, is it maybe that the issue?

    I forgot to say thanks, though had to delete Final Cut Pro 10.0 and then download the 10.0.9, now works smooth even though Mavericks screwed up the System Performance some times.

  • Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

    Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
    Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
    -Michael

    First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
    Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
    Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
    Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.

  • How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro onto my desktop?

    How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro to my desktop as a movie?

    Can anyone please help me.. when I click on my timeline in my project library and try to export movie nothing happens! and when I  try to "share" to youtube I get an error message stating that it cannot be exported because it contains "no video"... The 4 minute music video that I've created with shots off my Canon T2i looks and plays great....If I uploaded the videos into Final Cut but did not save them on my desktop or anywhere else on the Mac would this be a reason to get this message? I have never experienced this before...the only option under "share" that works is "email"

  • Can I migrate an iMovie project to final cut pro and keep the edits intact?

    can I migrate an iMovie project to final cut pro and keep the edits intact? It may be a solution to my apparently corrupted iMovie

    The manual tells ..
    http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.1/?lang=en#ver41812c7c
    keep in mind: just the 'plain cuts', not the eye-candy iMovie offers, wil be transfered.
    unfortunately it says ...:
    You initiate the process from within iMovie. The project file and the media used in the project are copied to your Final Cut Pro library.
    For more information, see iMovie Help.
    so, if your iM doesn't work anymore, you can not transfer.
    plus, my personal opinion!, I would start from scratch in FCPx...
    What issues in iM do you expect FCPX to solve,...?

  • How do i import imovie project into final cut pro

    I movie 08 is seriously lacking titles and transitions, so I want to spruce up my project in final cut pro, but I do not know how to get the project into final cut pro
    thanks for your help

    YES!
    Apple seems to be talking down to users with much of the workflow and nomenclature in the iLife Apps - it's almost insulting.
    But I'm as old as the hills too - grumping has become one of my favorite pass times.
    And while I'm at it:
    I still can't figure out why there is a "GO" item in the menu of OSX. WTH is THAT ? And why can't users change it's contents? Very PC. It would be more tolerable if we could use it like the OLD Apple Menu back in OS9. The Dock is cute GUI eye candy but I'd like the option of "docking" items in a menu too.
    I'll shut up now before I get in trouble...

  • 16:9 Export trick from Final Cut Pro to iDVD

    If this is posted, I have not seen it. I have spent years trying to get a decent photo quality video on my widescreen tv without peoples faces looking like 4 pixel blocks. I think I have found a pretty decent result.
    This is for Photo Slide shows only. (If you are going to mix widescreen video with photos, you must have the video in the timeline before you change the sequence to Anamorphic.)
    Create my widescreen project in Final Cut Pro
    (Photos have already been custom cropped (16x9) and reduced to 960 px in height before importing. iPhoto does this easily)
    Sequence settings in FCP: Use the default settings just check anamorphic. Also, best compressor for photos seems to be DVCPRO.
    When project is ready to export, Export to Quicktime Movie
    Setting: Custom (the Sequence Editor pops up)
    In the Aspect Ratio drop menu select "HDTV 720p (16:9) This will change the aspect ratio to 1280x720. All other settings should match your sequence settings.
    Export
    Open the movie in QT Pro. Select the Video Track in the Movie Properties
    Check Preserve Aspect Ratio
    Change the Height to 480 (the width should automatically change to 853)
    Close the movie and save changes.
    (This step really does make photos clearer)
    iDVD will read this as widescreen and create descent non pixelated SD quality on your Widescreen TV.
    If you have a better way to do this, or can get better quality than this achieves, I would be interested to know.
    Profe

    Hey Mish.
    I use 960 px because it is double the minimum 480. That allows me to use zoom animation or crop further without losing quality. I guess I would not have to go as high as 960 but its a number easy to remember.
    As for your questions about my methods. I am one of those Final Cut Users that really does not understand how things work. I am just good at using it to create my movies. So what you say is Greek to me. Also, for some reason, I do not have Compressor application that so many people talk about in the forums. I just got so fed up with the crappy result I got with just exporting with the same settings as the sequence. The result was pitiful. If you think of a better result using different sequence or export settings, I'll try it.
    I do a Highlights DVD project once a year. It's about 2 hours long (photos and video) and this method has given me the best ever result. It's my last year doing it so I don't want to invest in any software. My buddy would also tell me to use DVDSP and I've used it a couple of times but there is so much to it that I always forget what to do. So I have to "play nice" with iDVD

  • Can't Export Video from Final Cut Pro

    After updated to OS Maverick, I can no longer export video from Final Cut Pro.
    It pops up "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
    ANYONE CAN HELP??

    10.0.2, I think this is where the problem is.
    I will update to the latest (10.0.9) and update this thread to see if this will resolve my problem.

  • I need to transfr a project from final cut pro 6

    I need to transfr a project from final cut pro 6 to an editor with final cut pro 5.
    will they have the problem of not being able to open the file? any suggestions out there?

    Welcome to the forum!
    FCP project files are NOT backward compatible with older versions. But you can export an XML file of your FCP 6 project, then use the XML file to build a new project in FCP 5. Check the manual for details.

    You can't directly. You can either export a file, or you can save it as a template, effect, title, transition, or generator, that can be used in FCP.
