No End Condition for clips in Final Cut Pro X?

Hello,
I'm keying someone in Final Cut Pro X on top of a background stock footage clip I have. I'd like to loop this and extend it out. In Motion, you'd just select Loop from the 'End Condition'. I don't see that in Final Cut Pro X. What's the secret, please? I've searched through the manual and checked the boards and can't find the answer.
Thanks!
Scot

  • How do I swap one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I sway one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7? I am doing what it says in a book but it is not working. Thanks.

    You drag the clip from the browser to the clip on the timeline. Wait till the timeline clip goes white. Drop it and pick from the menu that appears the replace option you want.

  • Why does Compressor take so long to export a 10 minute video clip from Final Cut Pro?

    I've been trying export a 10 minute clip from Final Cut Pro. so it can be used with DVD Studio Pro and burned. However, the rendering process has taken 12 hours! The clip I'm exporting has minimal effects, no music, and is in 1080i 30fps. Does anyone know what's going on or what I can do to speed up the process?

    First: How are you exporting? Are you using the Share feature or  Send to Compressor?
    Second: You haven't said anything about your system configuration or really very much about your movie. What is its format… is it really 30fps or 29.97? Whatever it is, are the project settings identical to the clip properties, or were they changed?

  • Which Mac Mini is best for Editing in Final Cut Pro X i5 or i7 ?

    Hey guys plz suggest me a good mac mini machine for editing in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any difference in i5 mac mini or i7 in terms of rendering or editing, and what is the use of an SSD drive in terms of editing in mac mini either than its 5400rpm HD, or should i buy imac i5 with ssd ?
    Lets see if i buy mac mini i5 with 16gb ram and a ssd drive,  Will it work better than mac mini i7 with 16gb ram but without ssd drive ?
    So guys plzz suggest me the best mac specs for video editing
    Thanks in advance

    Your budget?
    Take a look at this: http://www.barefeats.com/minivmp.html
    The 2012 Quad-Core i7 Mac mini is a real contender when it comes to CPU power compared to our examples of a Quad-Core Mac Pro and Quad-Core iMac. We plan to add some other examples of Quad-Core desktop Macs (including a faster Mac mini) to these graphs in the days ahead but the point is made.
    However, the GPU in the 2012 Quad-Core i7 Mac mini is weak in comparison to the Mac Pro (and iMac) as you can see from the "Heaven" graph.
    That's going to affect its ability to handle advanced Pro Apps that make use of the GPU for certain types of effect rendering.
    These apps include Apple's Final Cut Pro and Motion as well as Adobe's Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
    The Mac mini's Intel HD 4000 GPU will also hamstring hard-core gamers.
    The Mac mini is also weak in support of OpenCL as you can see from the "LuxMark" graph.
    It is forced to render the model using only CPU while the iMac and Mac Pro GPUs are able to render the model.
    Why does this matter? Because apps like Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Photoshop use OpenCL acceleration for rendering certain effects.
    http://www.barefeats.com/imac12p1.html
    Even a Mac Pro (refurbished special 4-core 2.8 is $1819 and can be upgraded to more RAM, 4x4TB w/o going into Thunderbolt storage) and have multiple SSDs as the choice or need arises.)
    Fusion drive + Thunderbolt but I think you are asking too much out of the mini. It is fine for a lot of uses.

  • What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder        for use on Final Cut Pro X?

    What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts  files for use with Final Cut Pro?

    This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
    If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
    Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
    I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
    Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
    Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

  • Refining search for specific words in clips in Final Cut Pro X

    Heads-up - I'm not a newbie to video editing, but I am certainly not a pro.  Just an "advanced consumer" getting to know Final Cut Pro X,  who has a hobby of video-taping mountain bike races, then creating a video for a year-end banquet.  I have many hours of clips I to sort through.  To catalog each clip I have keywords such as "fast" and "muddy", and marks that further describe the racer's moments.
    For example, I have a long clip where I see boy amongst a bunch of other big guys doing stuff also worth noting.  I put a mark  "boy hops log" where he's doing his thing.  Keywords to describe the boy are "juniorr" "log" and "hop/jump/wheelie". Within the same clip I will  mark other racer activities with remarks like "slip" "spectator says good job"  etc. 
    Back to the boy, who is in multiple clips, say 15.  After the huge job of noting each clip is done, now comes the time to try to sort out the best clips of our boy who I want to include in the video.  
    I will use the Search Filter, using Text Field "boy".  The Search Filter finds boy in all 15 clips.  But now I have to carefully read each mark to try to find where my boy is buried in a busy, umpteen noted,  4 minute clip. 
    I seem to recall that FCE had a Function Key  which I could press to specifically find the next boy. 
    Is there such a Function or key combination that will go next search item in a large field of clips? 
    If not, it certainly would be of help for the next revision of FCX. (Plus having keyword collections in one color, marks in another). 
    Thanks for any assistance, Kelly

    Hi Tom and thank you very much for helping.  I know what I'm asking is a bit esoteric. 
    I already know how to refine the search.  Usually what I do is look for any incidences of "boy" on first pass of creating my story  All I'm looking for is boy.  As I continue to build the video I might look for the boy to do something interesting.  
    Let's say the boy is fast, hops logs, and passes big guys;  I know to continue refining my search I'd click on the search icon, then add  Text and Keywords, Reels,decide between any/all  etc to drill down to exactly what I want.  However, I'm still left with long clips, and very large areas of text to read. 
    Let's say that I found 5 clips with "boy" "hop" "pass". The clips are often long, with multiple marks and keyword collections with In/Out points. 
    I know my inserted picture is teeny and doesn't really help much.  But it shows that the word "boy" is buried in two marks.  Each mark lives on a long clip. I must thoroughly read each clip mark to find "boy". 
    I'm sure there's better ways to notate clips.  There must be overwhelming volumes in real production studios.  If there's a better way to organize, I'm open to suggestion!

  • Are the sound clips from Final Cut Pro Fair Use?, Are the sound clips from Final Cut Pro Fair Use?

    I recently found YouTube had flaged a video for containing a "third party" sound clip.  All clips I've used in videos for YouTube have come directly from Final Cut Pro X.  Any idea if the sound clips are Fair Use?  I'm not sure how to repsond to YouTube and don't want to get a mark against my account due to this.

    You can pretty much forget about monetizing that specific video. 
    [Okay... I'm going to ramble now...]
    To avoid problems with youtube, you need to post a copyright (like this: @2013 by Your Name) on the video (I recommend within the first 10 seconds) -- and you better have it *right*. If you use other audio and video, as long as you have secured the proper permissions for use, you can still claim a copyright to the video you post on YouTube -- it is your creation (but it better not be a single clip of somebody else's work being passed off as something you did -- just to be clear -- your videos need to have original content that you created in order to justify the © you put on it. If you use *other stuff* as long as it's *with* permissions, it's still your video.) [If your video is going to be monetized -- make absolutely sure you have that permission for *commercial* use! Quite a lot of sources will specify that their materials *cannot* be used for any commercial use without further permissions, if at all. With Apple Loops (pro apps music and sound) you do have that express permission to be used in commercial works as long as it follows the EULA. More below.)]
    You also need to specify the music and/or sound effects are "licensed from Apple Computer and used with permission" and you might as well state they are "made with Apple Loops". YouTube understands the EULA of the Apple Pro software (Logic, STP, FCP/FCPX, etc...) -- but even Apple licensed all that stuff from outside sources. Apple just takes care of paying "them" for it in advance so you don't have to (you buy it with the cost of the software license.)
    You cannot use any of the "music beds" by themselves, in their entirety (all those nice long demo pieces everybody likes so much and you hear several times a day on [local] TV commercials). The EULA actually specifically states this (although you might have to read it two or three times until it becomes clear...LOL). Even loops are not to be released "as is", in their entirety, in any "derivative work". So, basically, make sure some other sound is mixed in with it (if it's music, add drums or other percussion, harmony, or duck it under talking, etc...)
    The point is, no matter what audio source you have, if it is *music* (or foley) and EVEN IF you are the creator of that music or sound effect, you need to specifically put it in writing IN the video (not in the description). You need to reference the source (e.g.: stock footage by BottledVideo.com) and state it's being used with (or by) permission. [According to YouTube: I have copyright infringed MYSELF!!! just for leaving out all this *stuff* from my subsequent videos (music that I composed and performed myself on guitar... I was livid... but it stuck!).]
    I can pretty much guarantee that within minutes of  posting your video (if it is monetized) -- some real live person at youtube puts eyes on that video to make sure it is properly "signed". I can tell by how long it takes for the monetize checkmark to go from dark to light green -- usually less than 10 minutes.
    If your video is not monetized, and it's not a blatant violation, they probably will let you off with a warning, tell you that you don't need to do anything "right now" and it won't count as a mark against you... If it IS monetized, it won't be - they'll turn it right off and your chances of winning a challenge are almost 0 (unless you can PROVE you own the material -- and  I have won a challenge -- see * below);  and you will probably see a "Copyright Notices" (or similar) item in the menu on your channel settings. If you can redo the video - pull the old one, put in the new info and re-up it.  It's a royal PITA, but in this day and age, it's a necessity.
    All videos destined for youtube should be treated as mini motion pictures and be prepared as such with full "disclosures" in titling... Welcome to  21st Century Pox [This statement is not meant to be derogatory to 21st Century Fox or imply any association or criticism or slander, and is only to be intended to be received as a parody on a common phrase that is currently still in use... No words were harmed in the formation of this pun.]
    Get the point? YouTube tries to tell everybody -- but they've done a pretty lousy job of doing it. It's taken me, oh, I guess a year or so to learn to "behave" after wandering through a mire of confusing information from too many different sources -- and even if I am the sole producer of 100% of all the content in the video, I *still* have to place that © and "commit" it; it is *not* taken on faith.  I actually had to go back and reread all my licenses and interpret the legalese to figure it out. It would have been simpler if they just put it: Your video is a miniature professional production. Make sure it includes all titling to reflect all participants -- *just like you'd see in a modern major motion picture or a major broadcast television series* -- I think everyone would pretty much understand what that involves. You don't have to get quite that extreme, just cover you bases and your a©©.
    I tried to cover it all... but I'm pretty sure I haven't... so... good luck!
    *How I won my challenge with an Apple Loops composition:
    1) the music, even though using "canned" loops, was an original complex composition (I'll argue theory with anyone about this... it will be based on limited sets and recombinants as well as the theory of instrumentation and timing. In other words - I massage the heck out of loops until they don't sound anything like the originals. I almost never use audio loops -- always MIDI.) [BTW - this was another instance of copyright infringing myself - I had used the same music in a previous video I produced a year or so earlier... when I, like you, thought I was "free" to use the clips as I saw fit.]
    2) the music I used in the video was originally created in Logic and I made sure the ID3 tags were filled in with my name and copyright information
    3) I have a YouTube Associated Website (think this is a "partner" thing... and google "sanctioned") but if you see it, make sure you associate your domain. [I think you might be able to create a Google+ account and associate a domain that way if it's not part of your YouTube settings.]
    4) I uploaded the original mp3 with the ID3 tags to my associated domain.
    5) in the challenge, I 1) attached the original mp3 (w/ID3 tags); 2) gave youtube a link to the copy on my associated website for *verification* that the files belonged to ME; (and they already had the URL to the video in question -- a basic 3 point verify.)
    It worked. They accepted the verifcation. (And this was the first challenge I've been able to win.) [This was very recent. What about the others? I might get a chance to complete the verifications, but I know for some, I've used up my challenges. The only other option is to pull them and redo them...]
    One last word of advice: It does not pay to get "huffy", indignant, or righteous with YouTube in a challenge. They don't care.  <-- read that again a lot more slowly...  They have their own behinds to take care of — and your video (and/or account) lives (or dies) by their grace. If you read that and infer that I have been those things, then yes, I have... to absolutely no avail... even though I thought I was right (to the best understanding I had at the time) — they have rules. Be respectful. In general, they're pretty relaxed about all this even though it might not look that way to many users. Once you get the rules down, everything goes a lot easier... even if it is a little more work. You have to take responsibility for your own work.

  • Playhead will no longer position itself in between clips in Final Cut Pro X timeline

    I have been using Final Cut Pro X and it used to position the playhead in between clips with ease so I could drag down the audio and position it at the exact placement of playhead where I wanted it at the beginning of a new clip. However, now the playhead is not going to the beginning and end of clips, or inbetween clips and when I drag down the audio it won't go exact where the playhead is. I feel like it must have something to do with the settings, I'm not sure what. Any suggestions?

    The up/down arrow keys jump to Edit Points.  There should be no space between clips, so getting "inbetween" clips is not technically acurate.  You're either on the first frame fo the incoming clip, or the last frame of the outgoign clip.  First frame of the incoming clip is what  you want.
    Yes, be sure snapping is on, and use the up/down arrow keys.

  • Multi Clip in Final Cut Pro

    I am new to Mac and Final Cut Pro.
    I am trying to use multi-clip for a music video.
    I have imported 4 video clips (put them on my desktop) into Final Cut Pro,
    rendered each one.
    Modified the clips to start at the same, started a new bin, put the clips there,
    then I selected them all and Made a Multiclip...it was created. 
    I started a new sequence, put the new multiclip in the sequence
    the problem is here, all the four clips appear in the viewer box but when i push play, they play very, very slow and choppy.  When i select a different clip while these choppyness is playing (it does not modify the multiclip in the timeline).  Also another thing I noticed is that the multiclip in the sequence is not high-lighted in green.
    How can I get the multiclips to play smoothly and change screens?
    sorry for the poor description, help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you both. I will try to answer the questions to my best.
    The video was recorded with Canon60D
    The format is .MOV
    Sequence Preset
    DVC PRO HD 1080i50 FireWire
    Michael, how do I check if the scratch disk is formatted mac OS extended?
    Thank you both.

  • TS1233 How do I get chapter markers for iDVD from Final Cut Pro X?

    It seems like a tremendous short-coming that Final Cut Pro X doesn't allow for chapter markers that can be used in iDVD or DVD Pro. Surely there is some way to get used-defined markers from Final Cut Pro X or at least re-define the Final Cut Pro X markers in the DVD authoring applications. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have decided to say that my problem is solved by the work-a-rounds that have been submitted. I STILL don't like the fact tha Apple has decided that DVD's are a thing of the past and therefore (chapter) markers are of no use. That may be true is the publishing world of YouTube, Vimeo, etc. but it certainly NOT true for many of us advanced hobbyists that still like distribution on DVD's to our friends or a more localized (private) community -- especially to those who are not computer literate. If Apple wants to exclude us from their customer base, I suggest that base will become even smaller than their competitors who still have chapter markers in their products. I'll get off my soapbox now. . .

  • Is it possible to remove phone ring from piano recital video clip in Final Cut Pro?

    Hi.
    I edit  all videos in Final Cut Pro. My last video clip is a piano recital. And  there is a phone rining during biutiful piano performance. Anybody knows how to remove it without removing  this part of music?

    Looks like you're using FCPX so this is the wrong forum, pop over to the FCPX forum and ask there, although I think the answer will be, always keep phones on silent at piano recitals.

  • Catalogs too new for iMac's Final Cut Pro Computer

    Final Cut Pro on my iMac will not read edits I started on my MacBook Pro. Which I had purchased recently.
    How do I get iMac FCP to be updated as it tells me that the catalogs are too new?
    I just tried to check for software updates and that doesn't bring anything up.
    I would like to prevent from downloading it again.
    When I open Final Cut Pro and have the External Hard Drive connected (which I previously used on my MacBook Pro) it comes up with: The operation couldn’t be completed. The catalog is too new.
    Thank YOu for your help,
    Nikki

    Are you sure you have the same version of FCP on both Macs? Older versions of FCP will not open projects created with newer versions.

  • How do I export Premier Pro CS6 files for use with Final Cut Pro?

    In my cloud version of CS-6, I am trying to export or convert my finished work and take to my
    co-editor that uses Final Cut Pro. In "export" on my PrP file, I have the option to export as FCP "with notes."
    When I do that, and look at the notes, they basically say "Clip one did not export - Clip two did not..."
    I saw a tutorial on the web where they had the option to convert the file in Encoder from PrP file to FCP, but
    it is not an option on my Encoder in the cloud. When I try to encode the files as .mov, they are tiny, and don't
    look good.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    You can take the project file and the source files to FCP by exporting it as an FCP XML. Other than that you may have to export the whole project as a quicktime mov or any other editable your co-editors use.

  • How to fade background music out and fade in video clip audio Final Cut Pro X

    I am putting together videos and photos made during one of the trips, and I have background music running throughout the whole movie, but I want to fade this music during some parts of the video to hear the original speech/sounds of it, and then increase the volume of background music again. I know that in iMovie it is done in a few simple steps, and it almost automatically fades the music in/out. But I cannot find any similar options in Final Cut Pro X, how do you do it there? (I have 10.1.2 version)

    This is very easy to do.
    Press the letter R to switch to the Range tool. Drag the appropriate range in the audio clip. Press A to go back to the normal arrow tool. Drag the volume down. (Alternatively, instead of pressing R and then A, you can just hold down the letter R while you drag; then release and you are still using the arrow tool)
