Opening FCP captured HDV file in windows

Hello. I'm trying to take a HDV file I captured in FCP and open it in either Adobe Premiere 1.5.1 or TMPGenc for encoding into VC-1/WMV HD AP (I'd like to edit it in Adobe Premiere), and then put it through say...Scenarist.
I have not been able to open it in QT for Windows at all no matter what. I want to keep it as an HDV file and not reencode due to file space issues. I have intalled the HDV plugin for Premiere 1.5.1 however it doesn't open in anything at all, indicating it's not a Adobe issue.
What i suspect is that it's not opening because it's in a proprietary QT wrapper that Apple will not let anyone access to build a decoder around. Once captured on a mac it's obviously not a .avi format file regardless of codec used.
If this is not possible a simple 'no it's not possible' would easily suffice. I'm off to get some sleep. TIA.

Probably best practice to start and finish the project on the same platform.
Most of the HDV video codecs used in FCP do not have Windows counterparts. Soon FCP Suite will be updated to version 6 (maybe NAB convention).

FCP captured HDV file won't open in windows

I doubt it's anything so sinister as "a proprietary QT wrapper that Apple will not let anyone access to build a decoder around".
More likely is that the codec is only for Pro applications and there's not been a port to Windows because Apple doesn't make any Windows Pro Apps. If you want to use Premier and it supports HDV, why not capture with Premier?

How do I open .lwp and .123 files in Windows 7?

Check the lotus pages. Perhaps there is some conversion tool or web-based service that allows to export to more modern formats like MS Office.

Way to mimic DOS capture to file in Windows XP using NetWare print queue?

We have a Netware 5.1 network, and are trying to migrate our
workstations from Windows 98 to Windows XP Pro, but we are still using
a heavily customized and very necessary MS-DOS application. For many
things, including reports and other procedures, we typically use the
CAPTURE command to direct a printer port to a file (filename.txt). Wethen run a series or procedures and reports, and all output
accumulates in the filename.txt file until we close the file (end theCAPTURE).
Unfortunately, the CAPTURE command is not available in Windows XP. Sofar, we have not found a way to duplicate this print-to-file method in
Windows XP. We can setup a Generic printer in Windows XP that will
print to a file, but every time we print from the DOS window, Windowsprompts the user for a filename...so we must continually create new
files, instead of opening the print file and appending information
until we close the file.
There have to be other folks out there with this problem. Does anyoneknow how to direct an LPT port in a DOS window in Windows XP that
prints to a file until it is intentionally closed?
*** Is there a way to setup a NetWare print queue that prints to a
filename that can be changed on the fly? If we could do that, then itwould be possible to direct LPT1 to the print queue with "net use",
and the NetWare queue would handle the capture to file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

Can't you just create a windows printer and point that to a file?

-opening position of CS1 "File Info" window-

I have actions in CS1 to open :
"Levels" window so I can individually adjust & save
"File info" window so I can individually add text & save
The former window I can move & all following windows will open in new position.
The latter I can move but next image always opens centrally again.
Any way to make "File info" window open off to one side?
Thanks in advance. regards jg

Probably not. Actions do not store any UI data, this is handled automatically by the program and it will eitehr use the last active position of a palette or the default one. What you see is probably meant to be this way (the info window being in the context of each specific image and thus using default position, the levels palette being a global panel and using the last active). You could at best try your graphics driver's dialog repositioning options ands see if the info window responds to it...

Can't open FCP 6 project file on FCP 5

FCP says: "can't open a never version file",
so - *is there any possibility in FCP 6 make SAVE AS older version?*
in FCP 5 i can't see any possibility to do that.
maybe there is another way to solve my problem?
thanks!

Hi,
welcome to the forum,
FCP is not backwards compatible.
A solution is to export your project as XML in FCP6 and and import that in FCP5.
Check out the link below or read the clear instructions in the manual:

Opening folder with video files flickers window

When I double click on the folder that has the video footage files the window of that folder start flickering for 3-5 seconds. If I open the second time the same folder, then its OK. It always happens to the new folder that was not open recently. First time it happened few months ago and Apple support told me to delete all preference files. I did and it stopped doing it up until now.
Did anyone have the same and is there another solution then deleting preference files all the time. Maybe its a memory issues?
Thanks,

Can FCP 6 open FCP 7 project files?

How can I open up a FCP 7 project file in FCP 6?
Thanks

Expoprt an XML file of your FCP 7 project. FCP 6 will use that file to build a new project file that will be compatible with FCP 6.

FCP created dv files and windows pc's

Hi
I hardly ever work in the cross platform world as far as 'Production' goes (delevery yes).
ive sent a windows user a captured 30min DV Pal file on a data dual layer DVD. it copies ok to his hard disk but is unplayable in his windows versions of QT, VLC and adobe premiere.
the only 'oddness' of the files was that the cameraman used 4 channel 32khz audio, only channels 1&2 were used and captured.
The camera used was a PD170, i captured with a DSR11- (i no longer have the tape so cant check if DVcam or DV was used or not- but that shouldn't make a difference to the captured file)
any thoughts anyone
Graeme

Hi Thrillcat
thanks for the reply, appreciated.
I'm just a volunteer/middle man on this project, not the producer. just been given the
tape for digitising and passing on the files. i certainly would have recorded differently, The camera man was not a pro and just used the hire cam as it set up by the last user by the sounds of it.
(i'm a 48kz 24bit guy at heart), and worked with DVCam, DVCPro and DV for over 10 years)
I delivered .Mov files. and fully checked the files before sending them.
I have sent DV files captured in FCP (as .mov) before to Premiere editors without issue. So i think this is more down to the Guys PC set up or user error than down to the file.
i did an idiot test today by sending another PC user some samples and they worked fine.
I'm ether doing every thing right, or i'm missing something here.
If you could shed any light that would be great,
thanks

Illustrator CC(2014) does not open or create new file in Window 8.1 Pro

My illustrator can launch but once I tried to create a new file it would freeze and will not respond anymore.
I also tried to open existing illustrator files it just create a blank white illustrator window and does not respond afterwards as well.
I tried to reinstall the illustrator for times to fix to issue but it doesnt work.
All the other applications (photoshop/indesign...) work perfectly, but obviously there is a bug in illustrator...
Have any other people experienced similar issue and know how to fix it??

Did you uninstall then used the Cleaner tool before reinstalling?
Is a printer connected? Is the driver up to date? Printer turned on?
Do you have any third party plugins installed?
A graphic tablet?
Any other hardware?
Font management? Which one?
Have you already tried setting up a new user account (Admin) and launching from that one?

Can't open FCP 6 project file in FCP 7

Just upgraded to FCP 7 and have been working on a project for sometime in 6. Just tried to open the project file and i get the error "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut." Is there an update or fix for this? Luckily I can open on a friend's computer that is still running 6, but I thought it would upgrade project files with no issue. Can anyone recommend something? Thanks!

try opening on your friends computer and exporting an xml file and importing that into fcp7.

Unable to open .xls and .xlsx files from windows explorer or from Microsoft outlook using MS Office 2007

When I double click on an .xls or .xlsx file Excel will open up, but I never see the file open up.
If I right click on the excel file and say open with excel I then get the following error:
"Windows cannot find file c:\test\test.xls. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again...."
Everywhere I looked seems to indicate the file associations was messed up so per a technical document I deleted the .xls and .xlsx association and then ran the Office 2007 repair and rebooted. Still not working even after office puts the .xls and .xlsx
file associations in.
Here is what I see the in .xls and .xlsx for the &Open action:
Application: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" /e
UseDDE: Checked
DDE Message: [open("%1")]
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Greg

In the ened I had to go into Excel Options, Advanced, General, and uncheck the "ignore other applicaitons....". BUT this only worked after doing the Office 2007 repair.

Open FCP 6 project files in FCP 5

Hey guys, I've got a client who has FCP 5 and wants to open a project file created in FCP 6. I'm well aware of the incompatibility of the two project files, but is there any way he can access the edit? I know I could do an EDL, but I'm not sure how savvy he is with the program so the easier the process the better. Thanks.

In the FCP 6 project, export an XML file of the project. Use that file to build a NEW project in FCP 5. More details are in the manual.

Move FCP Created Video Files to Windows Hard Drive???

Hey Kids...
I have to send a bunch of H.264 QT files (exported out of FCP) to a client who works only on windows machines. He sent me a little Passport HD to dump the files onto when I realized we have some cross platform problems.
If I format the disk for Mac...He won't be able to access the files because he'll have to reformat the Drive...right?
I can't format the drive for windows and get the files on there...right?
I avoid Windows like the plague and know nothing about moving stuff around cross platform...So how do I get the files off my Mac onto a drive formatted for windows that he can access.
Thanks!

Format the drive to MS-DOS in the Disk Utility, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, or install MacDrive onto a PC.
