MPEG2 codec not working in Final Cut Pro on Mac OSX Tiger

We have been using the File-export-Quicktime Conversion-MPEG2 codec for exporting of files from Final Cut Pro to DVD Studio Pro. On the new mac system that was just bought, the option does not show up.
Currently the system is running Quicktime Pro 7.1.2/ FCP 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 and it is a new mac system running Mac OSX Tiger.
This problem has happened before on a mac running on an older system, but that was solved by reinstalling FCP and then DVD Studio pro and making sure that the QT Pro was of the latest version.
Right now, we have reinstalled everything the same way, tried installing DVD Studio Pro after, we have also done a full software update of the software over the net.
The codec is still not working, all the macs in the office are supposed to be upgraded to Mac osx tiger, but right now we can't do so, cos then we wouldn't be able to burn any DVDs.
Please help, thanks.

The installation of QT 7 is the culprit behind the missing MPEG-2 Export Component. But during upgrades, it doesn't always get rid of the file ... probably what happened on your older system when you upgraded to QT 7 or Tiger. Either the new system came with QT 7 preinstalled, therefore not including the Export Component, or if it was upgraded, the upgrade missed it.

  • Export feature not working in final cut pro x

    Hello,
    I'm working on a multicam edit in final cut pro x and wanted to export it to see how it looks, but when i try to share it all of the options for sharing under the share tab are grayed out, i can't seem to export my project and can't export it using CMD+E, neither, does anyone have any idea or maybe i'm doing something wrong?
    Can someone please help?

    The project is in the timeline. That's where i'm trying to export from, but all options are grayed out in the shar tab, also i noticed that it's only with this one project, all the others are perfectly fine.

  • Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

    If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

  • Does compressor 4 work with final cut pro 7?

    does compressor 4 work with final cut pro 7?

    WHile I'm not 100% certain (this has come up before and It's not convenient to test), I believe that purchasing Compressor will also allow you add additional codecs to your QT library.
    Russ
    Yes, Compressor adds several codecs, which can also be used in FCE (decoding and encoding using QuickTime Conversion) and in QuickTime player. Most notably these are MPEG-2 and ProRes. The latter is an editing-friendly Intraframe-Codec useful for preprocessing stuff for importing clips to FCE, particularly if it has a different framerate from the FCE project.
    I'm also still using FCE 3.5(*) and the "Export using Compressor" menu option remains grayed out, which is a pity, but the new codecs can still be used. I mostly use it to make stuff for DVDs, using my ancient and cumbersome iDVD.
    (*) It really works on Lion, provided you have installed it on a previous Mac OS release and then migrated or upgraded to Lion: the installer is a PowerPC program, but the installed program is Universal and works fine and very stable. If you already have Lion, and no older (Snow) Leopard machine, it's going to be more of a challenge, since the Lion kernel no longer supports PowerPC binaries, so Rosetta won't work.

  • Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro

    I'm sure you've seen this before and I've tried to search for a thread on it here and fell asleep, so sorry if this is a repeat.
    I have edited projects in Premiere Pro (on my PC) and I have tried to transfer them in FCP. It worked with the exception of two things:
    1. the error message, "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro"
    2. the quality *****! watching it on the playback in FCP it looks great, but then when I burn it to Disc it's pixelated in spots and generally has a lower quality picture.
    I know that it's Standard Def. and can't expect the best, but I've done it before (once or twice) and it didn't seem this bad.
    Can someone suggest anything to help the quality? Should I run my AVIs through MPEG Steamclip to make it a QT file and if so what is the best format in that since there are many to choose from and most I'm not familiar with?
    Thank you,
    Crayton

    I did compress them to DV NTSC then burned it to DVD and the result was no bueno.
    I thought what I would do is try compressing them again before I send them on over to DVDSPRO. Here is a simplified break down of the situation:
    - I have edited the raw footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. They were recorded and captured as SD.
    - I rendered them in Premiere, then transfered the rendered AVI file to FCP.
    - When went to place the files in FCP, I received the warning message; "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro" but I went forward anyways and it allowed me to do so.
    - Originally I went ahead and compressed them from FCP to QT Movie as a DV NTSC, which ended up poorly.
    - Therefore my question is, should I compress them using another file type (other then DV NTSC)? Which leads me to another program that I have called MPEG Streamclip, which offers tons of file types of which I am unfamiliar with most. I want the best quality of course but don't know what file type is the highest going from AVI to a format that can be accepted by FCP and ultimately DVDSPRO. Keeping in mind that I only have FCP5 and do not have Prores.
    Did that make sense?
    Thank you again,
    Crayton

  • Will Canon Vixia HF20 work with Final Cut Pro 5?

    Hello,
    Just bought a new Canon vixia HF20, and heard that it doesn't work with Final Cut Pro 5, only six. Is this true?
    Also? Whats the first step in importing from this camera if it does work?

    iMovie saves the footage inside its project file.
    Right click the icon, choose "Show Package Contents".
    Open the Contents folder -the footage is in the Media subfolder.
    Can you bring it into FCP?
    Dunno. Give it a try.
    If that does not work iMovie has various export options.

  • I can't get my blade tool to work in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7

    I can't get my blade tool to work in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7. I magnify the clip to the highest zoom and when I select the blade tool, I see the icon but when I click on the clip to chop it.....nothing. The blade turns red and nothing happens. Please help.

    If you are in fact in the active project window, try command B at the location of the skimmer and see whether it makes the edit.

  • Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7

    Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7
    I just installed the new version of final cut pro 10 and the canon plugin-E1 version 1.4 for the canon 5D mk III but after starting final cut pro I can not find the Log and transfer button., with the result I cannot import my files.
    Is there a solution for this problem.

    There is no L&T function in FCPX.
    The import media dialogue window does what you want.
    OS versions later than 10.6 should be fine importing Canon DSLRs.

  • What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro

    What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro, I am wanting to burn mainly wedding dvds but also sports and other things we used to use idvd but then upgraded our computers and now we dont have it. idvd was the only thing i could find that worked.
    Thanks

    There is no real substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • ATY radeon x1900 not compatible with Final Cut Pro X ???

    It looks like my ATY radeon x1900 Graphics card is not compatible with Final Cut Pro X and the new motion and compressor?
    I have a Macpro 2 x 3Ghz quad core Intel Xeon with 16gb RAM
    Any suggestion to which card I should Purchase?

    There are several threads here and abroad that mention the installer will notice and approve the ATI 5770 in older mac pros.
    I just now bought a 5770 from Apple's online store for my 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 so I'd have the compatibility if I ever decided to upgrade -- assuming at some point they'll run out of stock and not make any more.
    Keep in mind the 5770 has 1 dual link DVI and 2 mini display ports so you might need to pick up necessary adapters depending on your monitors.
    Hopefully FCPX will be usable in the near future and an upgrade will be pragmatic.
    (I sure hope they don't pull this stunt with the next Logic upgrade.)
    I may have a 1900XT for sale soon.

  • Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x

    Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x?

    You can't work with the files natively, if that's what you mean - you can't drop a .aep file into FCP X, or vice-versa.  You can do this to some extent using Premiere Pro and After Effects, but only if you get them together in the Production Premium collection.
    Like Tom said, though, you can prep stuff in either direction and work with both applications without a problem.

  • Mpeg-2 files won't work in Final Cut Pro

    Please help! I was given mpeg-2 files to edit in Final Cut Pro 6, and they don't play in FCP or Quicktime. Is there a way to convert them to a format that will work?
    The dimensions are 1440x1080, MPEG-2 Video, MPEG Layer 2 codec, not sure the frame rate.
    I do have the original miniDV tapes, but they won't play in my JVC deck - just a black screen. I think the footage was filmed on a Sony camera, and I think I remember hearing Sony cameras film in mpeg-2?

    do I just export to Quicktime and use current settings (ProRes)?
    Yes. Make it a Self-Contained file.
    This will be put on DVD and we're looking for the best quality to send to film fests. I
    Use one of the Best Quality, time based DVD presets in Compressor. Import the resulting files into DVD Studio Pro.
    It's a short film, so I won't need to compress it.
    Yes you do. A DVD uses a MPEG 2 video and ac3 audio track as its basis. Using Compressor as outlined above will produce those files.

  • Does AVCHD work in Final Cut Pro?

    I have a AVCHD camcorder (Panasonic HDC-HS9) but cannot seem to get it working in Final Cut?

    I have a brand new intel MacBook Pro, running FCP ver 6.0.4 and iMovie 08. Neither recognizes the AVCHD format. on FCP I log and capture but the .mts format is simply not recognized.
    Oh the camera is a Panasonic SD9.
    Am I doing something really dumb, because everything I have read on similar threads seems to point that I have all the ingredients.
    Do I need to load a codec pack or anything?
