NTSC to PAL - Export straight from FCP or use an mpeg file?

I was reading this
http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreate.html
however it does not mention what to bring into compressor.
Should I export my ntsc sequence straight from FCP into compressor, or should I drag an ntsc mpeg file I aldeady made into compressor? Ive been trying the latter but can't do much as each step gives me the spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks much.

Yes, you should export directly from FCP Using Compressor. Exporting to a heavily compressed MPEG-file, and then converting that from NTSC to PAL makes no sense. You would want your video to go through as few conversions/generations as possible.

Export 'flv' file straight from FCP

Hi,
I need to find a program to enable me to export straight from Final Cut time line to 'flv' file,as I need to save time rather than exporting from Final Cut and then to flv. Is there any program that does this?

Hello there,
for Flash 8 video (VP6-E/S codecs) you would need something like:
*On2 Flix Exporter* - QT export component ($199)
http://www.on2.com/index.php?399
*Flip4Mac Episode* - Batch Encoder app with free Apple Compressor integration plugin ($395)
http://www.flip4mac.com/episode1.htm
http://www.flip4mac.com/pdfs/EpisodeCompressorQuickstart.pdf
For Flash 9 video (Flash Player 9 Update 3) you would only need Compressor (or Episode) as Flash 9 video no longer uses the proprietary On2 VP6 codec but standards-based MPEG4/AVC (H.264).

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio t

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file?
The manual tells me that to export multiple audio tracks, File>Export>QT Movie has it's Config pop-up menu in the Audio Settings area of the General tab of the Sequence Settings. Well, that's set for 4 discrete channels, but the QT export settings only allow for 2 mono or 1 stereo output, and that's what I get when I try it. What it says in the manual just doesn't happen.
Exporting via Compressor, on the other hand, has an abundance of choices of 4-track outputs, none of which are labelled as anything resembling 'discrete'. Would any of those 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line? As I am monitoring for this task on a 2-track audio system, I cannot confirm exactly what I am getting when I use any of those settings.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
John

Call me naive, but I've not heard of splitting the stereo pairs like this before.
What broadcaster? (perhaps one of our EU regulars will drop in...)
You can do all sorts of pairing but it is coincident tracks pairing- eg 1/2 + 3/4
Sorry I can't offer anything.

Exporting text from fcp

I have a lot of separate text boxes in my sequence. Since I can' t do a spell check in fcp, I was wondering if i can export all the text boxes out as a plain text document to do a spell check.
I tried exporting as a xml document, but navigating through all the tags was quite a problem.
TIA for any suggestions.

Usual workflow is following.
1. Put all Text-generator clips to one track
2. Export sequence to XML
3. Launch TitleExchange, point to exported XML and say where to put converted file.
Exporting to STL you'll get text file like that
+00:01:27:26 ,00:01:29:26 ,They had this idea that+
+00:01:29:30 ,00:01:30:31 ,behind scary+
... which you can open in any spell-checker.
We use TitleExchange to bring subtitles from FCP to DVD Studio and back (in case we need subtitled DVD and Betacam output)
Though, this may be much expensive way of checking spelling (135 Euro per TE licence).
There are lots of subtitle software, I only wanted to mention a way of exporting text from FCP with help of subtitle processors.

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 from FCP and using Compressor at the same time?

Is it ok to export from FCP and use compressor at the same time? I am exporting a Self-Contained, Current Setting Quicktime Movie, and using Compressor to compress a similar HDV file to Mpeg2?

Only in FCP 7.

Export settings from FCP

What export setings have you found the best from FCP to use in DVD Pro. I keep getting a stretched picture on import.

Export a self-contained or reference movie from FCP (File->Export->QuickTime Movie). Include chapter markers (if any) but do NOT recompress all frames.
For best results, use the appropriate DVD preset in Compressor with the exported file to create an MPEG-2 (.m2v) video file and a Dolby Digital (.ac3) audio file.
Import those two files into DVD-SP of authoring and burning.

Exporting from FCP to Soundtrack Pro looses files!!!

I'm working on a project shot on an f900 HD camera with the tapes downconverted to HD-DVCPro to quicktimes. I sb-clipped the QT and I re-synced the audio with the .wav tracks recorded on set. My sequence is set up for a .wav project. I've exported a sequence from FCP by using both Send to Soundtrack Pro and exporting to Soundtrack pro. In both cases I received an error and when I went back to FCP some of my clips were gone. They weren't in the trash or in the Capture folder> I did a search for the file names and they had vanished, or had been renamed. Anyone had this problem before? Should I dump the STP then re-install it? I'll look at Apple support page. Is there a problem between the .wav and aiff? Can Soundtrack Pro bring in .wav or is it only aiff?

Exporting from FCP for use with PC

Hey all,
Trying to deliver a high-med quality 8 minute video from FCP for use with a PC. I've tried exporting both a .mov and .avi using DVCPro50, but neither are readable through the PC. Best I can get is sometimes audio will show up. Does anyone have a good solution for exporting from FCP for use with a PC?
Thanks again for your help!

I don't think DVCpro50 codec is available on a PC. I think panasonic has a special license with apple only, so you need to try a different codec for the avi.

Export straight from iMovie project to Flash movie..

Hi there,
Is there any way to export straight from iMovie to a Flash movie?
Groet! Rick

I created a bunch of 'enhanced podcasts" using GarageBand and uploaded them to www.audioblog.com where these files apparently were encoded with Flash, which I then published on my website at http://www.biom.net/index.php/teahouse/permalink/stayinghealthy_insummer/ using Audioblog's code.
Now I want to use the freeware FLASH VIDEO PLAYER 2.4 from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=FlashVideoPlayer.
When I downloaded my GarageBand-created enhanced podcasts from Audioblog they came down as .mov files which I need to convert to .flv to use with Flash Video Player 2.4.
Any suggestions for converting these .mov files to .flv so I can'self-publish' them on my website?
Thanks.

Exporting quicktimes from FCP to iDVD?

I am having trouble exporting quicktimes from FCP and bringing them into iDVD.
How do you make Chapter Markers on an export from FCP?

When creating chapter markers, make sure nothing is slected within your timeline (click in a blank space before hitting m). Hit m again and click chapter marker button.
When exporting your sequence, be sure to select Markers > Chapter Markers on the export dialog popup.

Trouble exporting 320x240 from 720x480 sequence using QT conversion

(Opps, put this on the FCP Express discussion 1st...)
Hi,
Everytime I try to export a 720x480 sequence from FCP with "using QT Conversion" to a 320x240 size, it exports out as 640x480. Everytime. Used to work just fine. Same thing happens using a compressor setting to 320x240 and exporting right from the QT export size setting. Anyone know what gives? I tried trashing prefs in both FCP and QT. No luck.
Thanks!

This is the first time I've heard of this problem so no real basis to go on. Try the QT prefs delete again and if not that, then the QT reinstall.
To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

Is it possible to export tables from diffrent schema using expdp?

We can export tables from different schema using exp. Ex: exp user/pass file=sample.dmp log=sample.log tables=scott.dept,system.sales ...But
Is it possible in expdp?
Thanks in advance ..
