Migrate the whole iMovie 10.0.3 library to Final Cut Pro 10.1.1

Is there any way to migrate the whole iMovie 10.0.3 library to Final Cut Pro 10.1.1?
I know we can use "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function from iMovie but it works for a selected project only, not the whole event library with structure.

Thanks for your confirmation!  It seems to me this is the situation after tons of research.....
I really don't understand Apple's logic/philosophy now.... in the new iMovie... it takes out the keywords which is extremely important to anyone with many clips.  I don't mind to pay for the expensive FCPX but I am told that FCPX cannot migrate the iMovie library..... sigh....... what **** they are thinking....
BTW, it seems the "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function doesn't support sending even the "Event". It supports only sending project with the clips associated with the project.  There is no way to send the clip without associated to project.  Anyone can confirm it?

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • HT203477 Why does my computer quit unexpectedly when I click on "Show the Project Library" in Final Cut Pro X ?

    Hello,
    When I click on "Show the Project Library" on Final Cut Pro X program, my computer unexpectedly quits.
    I just purchased an iMac 27in screen, (16G Ram) and all the features suggested by the Apple representative to run Final Cut Pro X.
    The program was working well for about a week. Afterward, I downloaded all my iMovie projects. I'm wondering if that has created this problem.
    Any suggestions as to what the solution might be?    Thanks.
    Jack

    Over the year I've used FCPX, it' s gone through "spells" where specific actions would crash it - much as you describe. Trashing preferences has nearly always fixed things. Several times, when it did not, I reinstalled the app.
    However, I've never imported an  iMovie project so I can't give any first hand advice. It will be interesting to see whether FCPX opens if it doesn't see those projects. (per Tom Wolsky's advice.)

  • 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.

  • Are the Apple ProRes Codec's already installed in Final Cut Pro X or do I have to download them separately

    I am new to Final Cut Pro.  I recently bought Final Cut Pro X.  Enjoying it.  I cannot seem to find anywhere if the Apple ProRes family of codec come included in Final Cut Pro X or do I have to buy and download them separately?
    I have 10.08.5 operating system

    That it works in iMovie is irrelevant to FCP. Has nothing to do with ProRes codecs. Absolute crap web site. Zero information about the media these things shoot. Absolute incompetence.
    From their web site:
    Depending on what computer system you are operating on - Mac or PC, we can suggest a few video editing software packages:
    If you're taking your first steps in video editing, iMovie (iOS) or Sony MoviEZ (windows), will be good options. Both are fairly simple to use, don't require you to convert your files, and are either free or very affordable.
    Windows Movie Maker is another free option, but requires you to convert your files to a different format, such as .wmv.
    Quicktime pro is the next step, and although it isn't free, it's very affordable.
    Sony Vegas Pro (windows), and Adobe Final Cut Pro/Premiere (iOS/windows) are great options at the more professional end of the spectrum. These are fairly expensive, and are most suitable for users with a reasonable level of editing experience.
    Say what? Adobe Final Cut Pro?
    Maybe if you can open one of these files in the QT player you could get some real information about this media.

  • Exporting iMovie Day into Night effect into Final Cut Pro

    Hi all,
    I really like the Day into Night filter effect in iMovie. I know there are various plugins online but I've yet to find one that looks the same and is as one click simple.
    Does anyone know if it's possible and if so, how to locate the iMovie Day into Night effect and essentially paste it into Final Cut Pro so it will do the same one click effect?

    Tom's right - I've been asking (being a plugin author) for it for years - I don't think Apple's listening...
    No plugins for new iMovie... boo hoo... Are you Listening Apple?

  • How do you mark a section from the timeline to send to Compressor 4 using Final Cut Pro X?

    I am trying to send just a certain piece from the Timeline to Compressor 4 using Final Cut Pro X and I can't figure it out. Please help!

    The video itself is intirely 5 minutes, but the timeline goes to 24 hrs.
    24 hours?
    If you select the timeline and press Shift+Z do you see a lot of black space in the timeline? If so, you may have a huge gap clip (although I fail to understand how you achieved it). Click on it and if it can be selected, delete it with the Backspace Key (next to the = key).
    Then press Shift+Z again.
    If I've got this wrong, can you post a screen grab of your timeline?

  • Is the Sony HDR-FX7 HDV Camera compatible with Final Cut Pro 5 or 6?

    Has anyone gotten this to work correctly. I have read in a few forums that the camera is not supported by FCP and I checked on the compatibility list and it is not there. iMovie sees this camera and can capture from it.
    I can not get FCP 6 to recognize the camera. I set device control to Sony HDV and I am only able to capture using the Intermediate Codec. When I switch to the HDV codec it only will record for a second then fail. Although I can capture with some limitations I still can't get FCP to recognize the camera and therefore video from the timeline won't playback on the camera.
    I really don't want to have to buy a hdmi capture card or buy a HDV deck to get this to work. If anyone knows any workarounds it would be greatly appreciated.
    If there are none any suggestions on a cheap compatible hdv deck or camera to get footage in and out would be great.
    Thanks.

    I have never had a problem with my internal boot drive either capturing DV footage and since HDV shares the same data rate I didn't think it would be an issue.
    Then you are lucky my friend. If you wish to keep tempting fate that is your choice. I am simply suggesting that you follow the suggested setup so that you could eliminate a possible problem.
    I do think there are compatibility issues.
    This may be the case. Have you used an easy setup that matches your cameras settings and then changed control to firewire basic as I suggested earlier?
    I have manually set up the capture settings and it will only work to the intermediate codec.
    Manually settings are not always the best method. Try an easy setup as I suggested earlier.
    I have narrowed it down to 2 things, either it's a Final Cut 6 issue on an Intel Mac, or it's just not compatible (Apple does not list it in it's Compatible Hardware List).
    What I am trying to do is to narrow it down further. I have given you suggestions but it does not appear that you have tried them. If you try these we can continue to eliminate until you have an answer.
    Please post back when you have tried my previous suggestions.

  • What's the best setting for iPhone 4s video in Final Cut Pro 6

    What's the best project setting in Final Cut Studio 2 for iPhone 4S 1080p footage?

    Hi,
        Convert your clips to Pro Res (LT if you have FCP7) with MPEG streamclip or similar and import to FCP.
    Drag the first clip to the timeline and click ""yes" on the message that asks if you want to "change sequence settings to match clip settings". You're all set to edit.

  • How do I delete a Library from Final Cut Pro 10.1?

    I created a new Library in FCP 10.1 but now I can't delete it (option to delete it in the menu is grayed out).  I know you have to have at least one Library but there is another Library so that isn't the problem.  Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    No, Libraries are independent little universes, all unto themselves.  They operate at the Finder level only. This allows you to duplicate, and copy them in the Finder, without the database UUID conflict we had with Events and Projects beofore.  That was why that function was inside FCP X, so it could duplicate and copy things, and be sure to assign them unique UUID numbers internally.  That is not an issue now, FCP should bow out of the process.
    But I can see how it would be slick to have a Library "Move to Trash" function.  It would make me nervous.  Who knows, it may be coming.
    Either way, once you get the hang of it, you'll learn it is a really easy, very flexible system.

  • The solo function is not working in my Final Cut Pro X

    When I select the track I want to solo all other tracks gets black and white (as they should) but all tracks are still visible, nothing changes in the project window. and when I play the movie nothing have changed. Any ideas out there ????

    Tom, let me get this straight...once you've added clips to the timeline, the only way to view a particular clip in realtime is to disable anything above it?  And then undo the disable action?  can't believe that Apple would release a professional video editing project without a solo feature. Am I missing something?
    And suppose you edit by disabling above clips and then excising unwanted sections...you can't "undo" the disabling, meaning you have to go back and make sure you re-enable each clip you want to reenable manually?  Please tell me this isn't so. This would make the program almost unusable...

  • Is the Panasonic HDC SD 90 camcorder compatible with Final Cut Pro X

    Is the Panasonic HDC SD camcorder compatible with FCP X?

    Seems to me that the software on an apple system has not caught up to where it could be for this camera, unless i'm mistaken.
    Nor Adobe, nor Avid. Nor any makers of DVD players, BluRay, HD DVD. Nor broadcasters who air shows. Nor web formats.
    60p isn't a format that is mastered either. Not to tape, not broadcast over the air, not a format you encode to BluRay or regualr DVD...not a web format. So why you'd shoot a format that you can't even deliver...seems pointless. 1080 is either 23.98fps, or 29.97fps. It is 720p that is 59.94fps...but that is used rarely. But that is the only 60 frame format that has output and airable options.
