MPEG IMX 625/50 export from FCPX

Hi,
is there a way to export to IMX 50 (MPEG IMX 625/50) from FCPX directly or by sending it to Compressor 4 ?
FCPX manual says that it can work with IMX files but I cannot find a way to export to it. I have also looked through Compressor 4 manual and can't see this export option either. Please help.

Hi Tom,
maybe I am missing something here but I cannot see an 'export' menu in FCPX.
I've looked through the entire interface with no luck. I only see that share timeline range button:
which has really limited options to choose from.
In the File menu I only have the Export XML... Please don't mind if this is something obvious but I am still learning the whole new interface, which by the way is simply awesome!

Quicktime MPEG IMX 625/50 export - how to disable gamma correction?

Hello,
Since there seems to be no support for encoding an MPEG IMX stream into a Quicktime container out of the box in Premiere CS5.5 I have managed to cheat IMX in there by using Quicktime component files from a Final Cut Pro installation. This seems to work fine, I now see all kinds of IMX options under the Video Codec section in Quicktime export, but there is one problem...
There is no way to edit any codec settings to turn off Quicktime Gamma correction, as you can do if you are exporting to Apple ProRes. What happens is - I need to add a Gamma Correction filter to every timeline to make it darker, because the default encoder settings automatically include some gamma correction that makes all rendered videos slightly brighter than they should be. This is a bit annoying.
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable Gamma Correction for MPEX IMX Quicktime files? Also, when will Adobe include native MPEG IMX encoder support? A lot of broadcasters in Europe (especially Eastern countries) still use IMX as their codec in their playout facilities - sometimes in Quicktime containers and sometimes in .mxf containers. Premiere needs to supports this.
Thanks!

Hi JS,
Thanks for the reply.
I can do but they're big files (about 2 to 3 gigs each - long takes!) so would take a while. I'd have to do it tomorrow now coz they're on a hard drive at the office.

Quicktime X not seeing audio track in MPEG IMX 625/50 movie file.

Quicktime X is not seeing the audio track in MPEG IMX 625/50 movie files that I generate elsewhere. This is evident by the fact that Quicktime X player will not play the audio track or report that it exists and likewise in FCP X. However Quicktime 7 Player will play the audio track. What's more, the preview pane play option on the movie file icon will actually play back the audio track in the preview mode. Any ideas?

Ok, I have posted 2 images. One is the of the movie inspector from Quicktime 7 Player which shows the audio track properties for BARS.mov. The other is the movie inspector properties for Quicktime X for BARS.mov. As can be seen, Quicktime X Player does not detect the audio track which is present.
I'm not sure how to make the BARS.mov file available. It's only 10MB.

MPEG IMX 625/50 codec problems CS5

Hi All,
I have some .mov files that were shot on an Arri Alexa (720x576 25i native), recorded onto sxs cards, transfered to a mac then copied via portable hard drive to a pc. Problem is, the files play fine on a MAC but with the exception of VLC, nothing on the PC will play them - not even Quicktime! QT says they are in mpeg imx 625/50 format. Can anyone tell me how to import them into CS5 so I can edit them on the PC. Windows 7 x64.
Thanks.

Problems exporting from FCPX

I can not export from FCPX. Get stuck on 95% and I give up after 45 min. It´s about 15 min fotage that I tried to export in Apple TV3 format.

I've had this issue weekly with a show I produce. It bugs me for hours. In my case, I have to wait until the entire timeline is rendered, and then I have to export it to ProRes 422. Any other codec requires a re-render, which provokes the problem again. The problem starts when I take a few clips from my P2 and use the stability function along with any color correction topping them off with titles. It seems as though part of the rendering process involves re-analyzing the entire clip during rendering, and if I don't allow it to completely render the clips, I get missing video with graphics on top. I have a 12-core machine with 16GB RAM, and yet it still takes about two hours to render my 30 minute show after I'm done. This doesn't include the hours it takes to analyze the P2 clips as I import them, which also hinders me during editing and causes continual crashes. I'm hoping this new update I'm about to run addresses some of those issues.

The requirements have changed a bit since the first version two and half years ago. It's also possible the software was simply copied onto the machine without being downloaded from the App Store.

Export from FCPX to Compressor 4 Failed - Quick time Error:-50

Hi all,
Having some trouble exporting a large video (1080p, about 5 gb) after using the Share>send to compressor option. Footage was shot with a Canon Ti3, and exported fine by itself to an .mov, but when sent to compressor I get the above error.
I have so far done the following:
trashed FCPX and Compressor 4 prefs
checked for updates
deleted the projects render files and rerendered
Any ideas? Screen shot below.
Jimmy

There have been many reports of QT- 50 errors on export at FCPX forum.
This may sound as though I'm changing the subject, but why not bring your exported movie into Compressor? It's always been a more reliable workflow than Send-to Compressor going back to the FCS days.
If you are committed to the Send workflow, try creating a new project and copy and paste from the old project to the new.

Why is QT not playing my movies which have been exported from FCPX?

Nov 11, 2012 1:07 AM Hello there. I have posted this post in Mac intel forums but have been redirected to post this post in FCPX forums and hence I am posting this thread here. Hope I will be given the proper answer to my problem/s which seem to be growing day after day.
I hope this is the right forum to place this post.
I have been facing this problem for the past 2 days only and I remember it all started after I had exported my latest project in FCPX. The exported file would not open up in quicktime player, and I started getting this notice even with other movies which were exported earlier and were being played by QT with no problem.
The screenshot given above came with with a movie I had exported about 2 months ago. At that time QT had no problem in playing it. But now, Why is it not able to play the same?
FYI, the latest project I had exported was started in fcpx 10-0-5 version and I had upgraded to the latest 10-0-6 version while the project was yet unfinished.
Apart from this problem, a number of other problems also have simulataneously raised their heads: FCPX is not opening up: stating that there is a corrupt data base which has to either restored or moved. And, when I try to move or delete the corrupt files via finder, I am not being allowed to delete them...error code -50 being the 'culprit'.
I am growing faint with all these malfunctioning and am in a perplexity of what to do next!
Any helps or guidance will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks. Take care.

Hello, hello, hello to one and all! Both the goose and Karsten's horse have been resurrected. HO HO HO am I on the top of the world. I feel that in asingle moment I have been transferred from the depths of the Dead sea to the top of Mount Everest!
What seemed to have worked is this:
I selected one QT movie which was not being opened and subjected it to PMan which did a rebuild and created an new repaired movie. I played it on QT and to my pleasant surprise it opened and I could watch the movie. There was one movie which was not being played in QT. I attempted to repair the same with Pman, but received a notice that it could'nt. It was not an important one and so I deleted the same. I tried playing other movies and found out that QT was playing the other exported movies which it was not opening earlier. Next, before opening FCPX I first opened the final cut events and deleted, or rather, was able to delete one particular event which I had been suspecting to be the cause of all these malfunctions: it was a still image captured on my daughter's Galaxy and she had sent the same to me via email a few days ago. I had imported the pic. into an event. When FCPX began its refusal to start misbehavior, it blamed this pic as one of the corrupt files which had to be restored or moved. Deleting this pic resulted in the resurrection of my works and I am taking no more chances in this matter. Right now I am in the process of duplicating completed projects on my scratch drive and archiving them in a different drive. I am duplicating them only with the used clips. Guess if any further clips are needed while rediting the work later, I could always import fresh clips into the event.
Thanks to all of you who have been helping me out in this thread. Any guidance as to how to avoit getting into this unpleasant situation will be received with attentive ears.

Strange glitch in my audio when exporting from FCPX.

I just finished my short film in FCPX today, and exported it. I used Apple's ProRes 422(HQ) format to export it using the "Export Using Compressor Settings" options. I was content with the video quality, however the audio was I believe to have been corrupted. I played my video in QuickTime X and on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro I can hear really annoying and distracting glitches that keep cutting up my audio and making the bass sound extremely weird. In the end, I put my video in iMovie, silenced out the audio and put on a track of the same song I was using in the original video. And just like I expected, the audio of the file that came out of iMovie did not have any of these weird glitches. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong in FCPX that is casuing this problem or it might be something to do with the software itself? Perhaps bugs?

No, they are AAC audio files, 256kbps that I got from my iTuens library. So they need to be AIFF at 48k? Does the convert option to AIFF in iTunes satisfy this criteria? I am relatively new to audio formatting and related issues.

Can't export from FCPX!! (error -1)

Hi, I'm running FCPX 10.0.8 on a late 2012 iMac and I've got to get an edit out urgently for the client but I keep getting an error every time I try to export. I can't do anything with this video if I can't export it!!! I need help urgently.
I get the following message as attached:
The share operation Master File has failed.
The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1328 (error -1).
It's 1440X1080 ProRes 422 original footage AVCHD.
Any help on this?! It's urgent!
Btw I've already located frame 1328 and removed the clip that starts there. Still fails. Also tried copy/pasting it into new project and rendering it all again. Still fails.
Many thaks

Hi saddact,
I, along with many others are having the same problem. I am days behind on delivery of of a master disk for a client and thanks to FCPX 10.0.8, I have not been able to. I am currently "sharing" a masterfile and as of now it is working, I am at 73% . . .
First duplicated file, then the below . . .
Here is what seems to be working for me (fingers crossed):
Settings in Preferences set to under Playback / background render unchecked, under Destinations / Masterfile codec ProRes 422, . . .
Well forget that, just failed!!! "encoding frame error" one of many I have seen over the last few days!!!
I was able to export a codec set to H.264 last night, maybe I try that again.
Well I did not try deleting preferences this last time . . . try that along with the above.
Come on, lets get the updates right BEFORE releasing them.

Multi channel audio not exporting from fcpx xml as mono to logic always comes in a mixed surround

I have a long edit cut with 24 bit multi channel wav files (i.e 6 microphones on separate tracks but in a single wav file.)
This is very a very common production practice.
when i import into fcpx it defaults to seeing the files as surround. I change this to mono so i can mix and spit the audio between each mic.
The last step in the edit is to hand the mix off to the sound designer in logic.
however no matter how i export the xml file for logic. it always comes in as a surround file again instead of mixed mono files.
it shows up in logic as 6 tracks but all but generally only the top track has a mono mix of all 6 and the rest are blank.
it shows that all 6 are seen as 5.1 surround indicated by the icon.
interestingly if i just import the file directly into logic it comes in as 6 mono files. (the icon for mono showing and all are separate microphones)
Any ideas on how to get fcpx not to export the audio xml as surround? (it seems that it is locked to that on import no matter how i modify after)

Ok so i order to help anyone who is interested.
The only ironic solution to this problem i found was to use a plugin called xto7 to convert the xml to the old fcp7 format.
i then imported this into premiere pro.
this was then able to export an OMF that when imported into logic 10 that was using the correct 6ch mono setting as separate tracks.
Insane but it works until Apple fixes the incorrect meta data import in FCPX that sets the xml export to the default import that is always surround.
this is the only way i was able to send stems with all the edit points and fades for the sound editor.
If you don't have premiere lying around you maybe able to do it with fcp7 too we just didn't have it in this studio.
Fingers crossed Apple fixes the fcpx xml export.

Slightly jittery video export from FCPX

I'm placing a supplied 3D rendering video file in FCPX and when I export the footage it doesn't move as smoothly as the original footage. It seems a bit more jittery. I was supplied with both Apple ProRes 422 HQ and a full Animation format and they both export the same. Any idea why this is happening?

The footage was supplied by a 3D animation studio we use. They can provide me with whatever format I require. In the future what should I ask for exactly to make it easier to edit in FCPX?
Here is a screen grab of the "hi-res" render file they also supplied me with.

Multiplexing MPEG-2 and Aiff exported from compressor

I have been exporting MPEG-2 and Aiff files of of videos through compressor. I have been using Bit-Vice Helper to Multiplex them together for broadcast.
My problem is that on longer videos, the audio will cut out part way through the video.
Does anyone know of alternate means of multiplexing the MPEGs and Audio, or has anyone run into a similar problem and know of a fix for it?
Thanks.

Are you trying to create an MPEG2 Program or Transport stream? If so, Compressor 3 does this.

Trouble exporting from FCPX

I have been trying to export a movie and keep getting this error: QuickTime Error: -50
Any ideas?
I tried uploading to Vimeo and also exporting to the desktop.
Both failed.

I tried deleting my preferences and the render files (as suggested in an earlier post) and exporting in Apple ProRes 422. Nothing has worked yet!

Process for exporting in FCPX and then using MPEG Streamclip to downgrade?

I have footage shot with a 5Diii, and it is set at 1920x1080, 23.98p.
When I export through FCPX at H.264, it gives me a beautiful master file, but is larger than the 4GB that I need.
What is the process for using MPEG Streamclip to get a smaller file?
Do I export a master file in FCPX first using a different codec, and then use MPEG Streamclip to compress it? If so, what would be the best setting to export from FCPX, and then what would be the best setting to compress at in MPEG streamclip?
My goal is to be as close to 1080HD as possible.

Here is the background story....... I provide movie files on a DVD delivery (files in SD quality) and then also give a copy of the same films on a flash drive so clients can have it in HD quality, and plug the flash drive directly into the TV.
This always worked fine in the past until I ran into a movie file that is 4.7GB, and would not copy onto the flash drive, since flash drives only accept files up to 4GB.
So I tried reformating the flashdrive to exFAT. It allowed me to copy the 4.7GB on the flashdrive, but when I tried plugging it in directly to the TV, the TV did not recognize the drive. (I learned that exFAT is not always compatable with all TVs.)
My other option would be to download an app to let me reformat the drive into NTFS which accepts files bigger than 4GB, and supposedly works better with TVs. I haven't tried this yet because I am worried that downloading that app might mess up my computer. ???????
So....I have come to the conclusion that the only other thing I can do is compress the 4.7GB file to be 4GB (or less) so it will fit on the flash drive which I believe had an original format was MS-DOS FAT.
Are you suggesting instead of exporting the file from FCPX in H264, I should do it in ProRes? The file will be much larger than 4GB, but, then I can compress it, without losing as much of the quality as I would if I compressed an H264 file? Either way it needs to be 4GB or less, so I don't know if that defeats the purpose of using a ProRes file to begin with.
Thank you so much for helping with this!
