No HD Video from FCP w/ QTP

I have filmed a series of videos in HD and edited them in FCP Studio 1 (this includes QTP). I have exported the videos and can play them with my PPC G5 Dual Core (10.4.11) in QTP.
The problem is when I transfer them to my Intel iMac G5 (10.4.11) there is no video only sound. Both computers have FCP Studio 1 that includes QTP. I have done all the nessesary updates.
I can play HD trailers from the Apple site fine.....any ideas?

I'm not 100% sure what codec is used, but I'm using the Sony Z1 HDV. Capture, edit and export a sequence (using current settings) When the video is played in QTP I have audio and no video, QTP says it can't play the video. But I transfer the same video to the G5 dual core and it plays fine and looks amazing in QTP.
I checked the advanced tab but the only options were for synth, transport, kiosk and to use older codecs (legacy)
We have the exact setups on both computers, same OSX 10.4.11, FCP Studio 1 and QTP 7.5.5. The only difference is PPC G5 dual core and G5iMac Intel.
I would think that FCP studio would supply the codecs and I wouldn't need any 3rd party software.
Of course I can play the video in FCP but I would like to be able to show the video in QTP.
any ideas?
It must be an Intel processor problem!

Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?

(1) Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?
(2) If not, can I convert with the help of Compressor 4 to make it to play in WMV?

No to both. You need third party software to create WMV. Telestream has tools for this.

Exporting video from FCP scrunches it.

When I export my video from FCP it gets scrunched. Imagine that you start with a square and you export it and it comes out like a vertical rectangle. It looks correct in FCPs image and wireframe box, but it is not correct according to the title safe boxes. When I play the exported video it includes black space on both sider of the video. What can I do? I set the Motion project presets to NTSC DV (720 X 480) and FCP sequence settings to NTSC DV (3:2) (720 X 480) and I don't have the Anamorphic 16:9 checked. How can I export this without scrunching or squeezing it?

Welcome to the family.
You can only go through your settings very carefully, one at a time. If the sequence is DV, the clips are DV, and the export is DV, the resulting file will be DV. Our experience around here is this question is 99.9% user error caused by the fact that FCP's various settings are weirdly conflicting with common sense or other parts of the process.
Good questions to answer: Why are you exporting out of FCP and where are you viewing this exported file?

Wanto output video from FCP to tv-monitor..

I've been searching for an answere in this forum aswell as PD150 forums..
Please help, I think of myself as a logical person but just can't figure this one out.
I try to output the video signal from FCP to a tv-monitor usin a Sony PD150 in the middle.
That is; Firewire from my G4 into my camera, s-video to scart into my monitor.
I've been fiddeling with the camera settigs but found nothing that indicates signal in/out or likewise.
I know that this isn't a PD150 forum but i thought I could find someone experienced here.
Thanks for answeres in advanced, Erik

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

IDVD behaving strangely with HDV video from FCP X and FCP 7?

AVCHD exported from FCP X as ProRes 422 works perfectly in iDVD producing a 16:9 DVD.
HDV doesn't, even though QT Player plays it perfectly.
The odd thing is that 4 years ago, using legacy FCP my exported HDV videos had no problems being recognised as 16:9 by iDVD.
So why are FCP X produced HDV videos not recognised as 16:9?
P.S. I know that iDVD never recognised DV in the 16:9 format but it always worked with HDV.
Incidentally, the old trick of opening it in QT Pro and changing the frame size to 1024 x 576 does not work!
Even stranger, I have just opened the HDV clips in FCP 7 and exported them as a QuickTime Movie.
iDVD plays them back in the correct aspect ratio but look at the effect . . . . muted colours and green patterns all over.
This never happened in the past!

I mentioned several problems so I don't know which one you are referring to.
After experimenting I found some workarounds.
To cure the squashed image I created a ProRes 422 preset in Compressor 4 with a frame size of 1920 x 1080 and exported from FCP X using Compressor Presets.
Everything now works perfectly except the encoding seems to take longer.
I got rid of the moire pattern when using FCP 7 by exporting as ProRes 422 1920 x 1080.

How can i export lossless video from FCP for Episode Pro?

Hi,
i am looking for a way to export videos from Final Cut Pro in order to use it in Episode Pro for further converting.
I know i xould use Compressor an just import the Episode settings into Compressor, but that's gonna obstruct my workflow and - to be honest - i hate Compressor.
So what video format is the best for this kind of project?
Thanks,
Heidi

If i do it like David says the titles are displayed with different fonts.
Unfortunately the source material is on an external Drive connected via Firewire 800 to a mac in the office next to mine. Our macs are connectet via gigabit ethernet.
Something doesn't sound right.
First, If you render the Sequence before exporting it for Episode, it should not matter whether or where the fonts are installed. Are you sure everything is rendered?
Second, are actually saying that your are editing material in your Final Cut timeline that is coming in over a network connection in another office? You must spend an awful lot of time, drumming your fingers on the desk!
We export everything we do to Episode for conversion to Flash. It just works.

Hot To Monitor video from FCP on an External NTSC Monitor

Can someone point me in the right direction?
Is there a tutorial on setting-up for monitoring your finish work to an external monitor?
I saw it somewhere a while ago, but can't remember the link
Any help would be helpful
thank
Ron

I'm guessing you mean 'How' To...
This may not be the way you want to go with your setup, but it works well for me.
I have a Canopus ADVC100 that I purchased at a reasonable off eBay. The newer version is:

Not only can you monitor while editing, but you can capture from any video device (digital or analogue) as well as export to any device..

Exporting to web size Quicktime video from FCP Problems

I have run into a problem...
A few weeks ago and checked my Software Update and noticed that their was a newer version of Quicktime, so I installed the update and now have the newest version of Quicktime. Every since then, when exporting to Quicktime using the Export - Using Quicktime Coversion commands. The Use settings have changed. They are now...
LAN/Intranet
Broadband - High
Broadband - Medium
Broadband - Low
Dial Up
Dial Up - Audio Only
Streaming - Medium
Streaming - Low
These are the choices I have now after updating my Quicktime. They have changed since before. With the older version of Quicktime, I used to be able to select the highest quality option, LAN and get a very good picture and a decent file size. For example, a 2 minute 16 second video was 16.5 MB.
Now when I go to export using the LAN setting, it takes forever and always seems to start at 7% completed, saving that less than a minute until completion, then it slowly savs, 2 minutes until completion, 4 minutes etc. until it says 45 minutes.
Something is wrong and I don't know what. Please help.
Thanks

Well I did a search of the forums and found this infomation...that Compressing as H.264 means that only people with Quicktime 7 can view the movie. I checked my compression settings and indeed the default compression setting I was exporting with was H.264.
What was the compression I had before I upgraded to Quicktime 7? I think if I switch my compreesion to this from H.264 my problems could be solved.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Having issues printing to video from fcp 5.1.4 to my hv20

I had unaltered, raw 1080i60 footage i shot and now i need to get it on television at 640x480 4:3 letterboxed. I feel like I've adjusted all the correct settings yet I'm still having issues. I have my hv20 connected via firewire and set to play mode. I go to print to video, have 30 seconds of bars and tone and no video shows up on the camcorded - only sound. After the bars disappear I the first few seconds of the video play before it reports an ett/ptv dropped frames error. Why is this happening and why can't I get video to come into the camera?
So. Frustrating.

Thanks for the answer.
Now I tried to link my iMac directly to my television (mini DVI to HDMI) to watch my movie, but I got no picture on my television. It is a Panasonic Viera, HD ready (TH-42PV60E). It has 2 HDMI inputs. Has anybody succeeded yet in doing this?

Problem playing back HDV from FCP HD

FCP 5.0.4
I am doing my first HD project and am experiencing a problem I cannot solve.
Using both a Sony HDV HC1 and Sony HDR FX1 as playback devices, I cannot get the video to play back from FCP using HDV1080i60. Under Video playback, the options for the HDV are grayed out for the only firewire options:HDV(1440 x 1080) 30fps and 25fps. However, the option exists under Print To Video, and when chosen, will send HD1080i60p video to the cam>hi def monitor.
I have tried every possible setting on both cams to find a solution. Using DV NTSC I can get a work around. The cam's will both capture and control via FCP. Thanks for any advice.

No HDV decks will allow you to monitor external video from FCP through them UNLESS they are in the recording mode. So they just don't support this like DV devices do.
You need to look at a card for this. Least expensive would be the Intensity cards from Decklink. I like the MXO from Matrox too for this too... does more output, but has no input... I use an Io HD for that... and turn that slow rendering HDV to ProRes.. much faster rendering, and visually lossless.

Why is Color Washed Out after making DVD from FCP

I took a 3 minute corporate video from FCP (shot SD, NTSC DV) and compressed from the timeline in Compressor (3.01) to DVD best 90 minutes. When I burned the DVD in DVDSP (4.2) and played it in a stand alone DVD player with a JVC production monitor it looked washed out. It looks nothing like it does in FCP or DVDSP.
Any idea what is going on?

Yes to the monitor. I shot the video with a Panasonic HVX200 to P2 cards, downloaded and color corrected on Color. Viewed on two production monitors: A JVC CRT and a new Panasonic 26" LCD (LH2600W) production monitor which is fed from a Kona Card via SDI. My Apple 30" monitor, which I edit on is color calibrated with a Spyder calibrator.
I have played the DVD on the 30" and it looks washed out, even after comparing it to a QT movie from the timeline and played on the 30". Something seems to be happening when the DVD is burnt. The mpeg2 file when played in the inspector in Compression looks good too.
This is weird, since I have never had this problem before, but this is the first use of the new Compression.

Exporting Widescreen from FCP to mp4...help!

Help! I'm trying to export a 720x480 video from FCP, to upload onto youtube. I feel this should be easy, but no matter what codec i use, the exported video looks stretched. I want the video to stay widescreen, can have black bars at top and bottom, as long as aspect ratio is kept.
What am i doing wrong??

You mean 720x480 Anamorphic, yes?
Here's what I do...
File - Export - QT Conversion
BROADBAND HIGH
Then, click OPTIONS and change size to 420x270.
That will force 'widescreen' no letterbox.
Then, I load that to youtube directly and IT takes care of the letterboxing.
Good luck,
CaptM

Trouble exporting Flash from FCP, and, no MPEG-2 option?

Hello. I'm trying to export a short 5 minute video from FCP. There doesn't seem to be an option for MPEG 2 anymore. Am I missing it?
Second, when I export with the Flash (FLV) setting FCP "stops responding" every time. Any idea what's up with that and what I can do to resolve it?
Thank you!
Eric P

I was hoping to export MPEG2 directly from FCP, but I used Compressor as you suggested. Now, here's a really silly question: After I "submit" the file, it processed (I can see it processing in the Batch Monitor), but I can't find the file anywhere on my computer!
I thought I changed the destination to my desktop, but even searching the computer for the file name it doesn't come up. Am I overlooking something obvious??
Thank you again,
Eric
