Problem Burning Final Cut Movie Using Autoplay Feature

I exported a Quicktime movie I made from Final Cut Pro. I wanted to burn my DVD without having the menu at the beginning, so I dragged my movie (from the "Media" link) into the autoplay box in the map view. It seems to work well-the preview shows the movie has been imported. However, after burning the DVD I get no response from my DVD player, or two other players I've used. I get error messages and the DVD does not play automatically.
When I go back and import the Final Cut movie into a DVD theme, not using the autoplay box, and burn the DVD everything turns out fine! I cannot figure out why it doesn't work when I drag the movie into the autoplay box, but works great if I import the movie from File>Import>Video.
Not sure if this matters, but when I exported my Quicktime movie from Final Cut I did not make the movie "self-contained." Any help on this would be great!

Hello Wade,
you should always create a disk image from your iDVD project. That way you can test it with DVD Player before actually burning to disc and rule out burn errors by burning at slow speed with DU.
Not sure if this matters, but when I exported my Quicktime movie from Final Cut I did not make the movie "self-contained."
That may well be one of the problems. If you do a search on the FCP board, you'll find that most experienced users recommend exporting as self-contained.
I'd suggest exporting a self contained QT movie from your timeline, then creating a disk image.
hope this helps

Importing a Final Cut Movie to iMovie

Hello to all of you, lately I've been having problems importing a movie made in Final Cut (.mov) to iMovie. The iMovie just freezes in the last part. I do this because I wanted to import it later to iDVD so I could have chapters, created so I could separate the scenes where I wanted not where the machine told me.
This movie was two hours long (24 GB aprox.)
Does anyone how to help me with this?

You should be able to send your Final Cut movie to iDVD without having to use iMovie. You can make your own chapter markers in Final Cut.
If you are not planning to burn to a dual layer DVD, you will have to shorten your movie by a few minutes. Two hours is the maximum total content that you can put onto a single layer DVD, and that includes the iDVD menus. Even if your menus are simple, you will not be able to burn a movie over about 1 hour 57 minutes. Dual layer DVDs can hold twice as much as single, so you should be ok if your drive can burn dual layers.
But now, since you already have the movie into iMovie, to get it to work, try exporting it as QuickTime Full Quality. You will need enough hard drive space to do this, since you will be creating a duplicate of your movie. If you have an external drive, have it saved to that drive.
Then, open a new iMovie project, drag the new quicktime movie into it, shorten it by a couple of minutes if you need to, and create your chapter markers. Close iMovie. Open a new iDVD project, drag in the iMovie made with the qt movie.
Should burn fine.

What is Final Cut Movie anyways?

Hello guys,
lately, I am having problems with my videos exported as Final Cut Movie.
They work fine on my own machine, but they don't play on my friend's computers, even on brand new iMac with QuickTime 7 installed.
QT refuses to open the file. File's icon on their desktop does not show QT logo, but when I right click for file info, it says: File type - Quick Time Movie
So I am wondering, what is Final Cut Movie anyways? Is it true QT file, compatible with QT players worldwide? Or is it just kind of intermediate format, only meant to be converted into some more compatible format?
Thank you so much.

I have created this file by exporting it from Final Cut timeline using: Export as Quick Time Movie. So the file was created by Final Cut.
Yes, it was created by FCP so it will have an FCP icon. But you can change the default opening application to QuickTime Player in the Finder's 'Get Info' window.
But even then, as David S. has stated, that says nothing about the codec used to make the file.
If, when you exported from FCP you made a self-contained movie and did NOT "Recompress All Frames" then the codec used will be the same codec as used in your FCP Sequence. So if you were working in a DV Sequence, the codec used to create the movie will also be QuickTime DV (aka QuickTime DV/DVCPro).
If you made a reference movie by the same method, it will also be the same codec, but won't play on any other system without the original media and render files.
In any event, exporting a QuickTime Movie by the above method will create an identical copy of what you have in the Sequence. But it won't play on any other system without the proper codec installed on that system.
Is it true QT file, compatible with QT players worldwide?
This is a misunderstanding of what a QuickTime file actually is. The ubiquitous QuickTime Movie (.mov) is merely a container and the audio and video streams contained within could have been made from any number of codecs. The same is true on the Windows side of things with the .AVI file type. Unless the codec used to create the file is installed on the viewing system, the file will not play.

Final Cut Movie to QT ?

I am having problems with my iDVD and final cut movies. I want to use QT movies instead. What is the best setting to export to QT movie with the least amount of compression. FCE to QT ?

If the files were made by FCP it's possible that the codecs used would also only be supported by machine that have FCP installed.
Ask the authors to send you a file that uses H.264 video and AAC audio.

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

Exporting Final Cut Movie Frame as High Resolution Photo

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to take a frame in a final cut movie and export it as a high resolution photo? My supervisor has taken some great video footage and would like to use parts of it to make a calendar. I've tried exporting in quicktime, but the highest resolution I get is 72 dpi.
Even if there's a 3rd party program that will do this if Final Cut won't, please let me know. Thank you!

There are any number of up-rez tools for Photoshop that do a pretty good job of creating pixels where none exist. Simply resampling at a larger size/pixel count often creates acceptable results. But, as stated, there are only a limited number of pixels available: whatever you shot with. If you shot with a fabulous high def (not HDV) camera, you might have as many as 1080x760 some odd pixels.

Graphic problem with Final cut pro X

Hello
Since some days I have graphical problems, it seems it is related to final cut pro X (10.0.8), all other programms are running well.
When I import events to my project the graphic is ok:
After modification, example: here stabilization on, I have some colored pixels in the preview:
After this happens once, I found some colored pixel also in other programs or on the background picture.
I'm not sure if I have a problem with final cut or with the graphic card. When I use my iMac without final cut, I found no problems
Can anybody help me? Thank you

Thank you for you answer.
I have 12 GB Memory and Final Cut Pro X was working properly until now.
The problem occure already at the preview windows, as soon as I close Final cut the graphic background looks good again.
I found that I have a similar problem also with iMovie, so I think it is maybe a hardware and not a software problem.
The hardware test does not show any problems, do you know another method to test the graphic card?

Final cut movie file dependency?

I'm hoping someone can explain to me how exactly "final cut express movie files" work. I've read that they're just .mov files, and I know that if I change what program they're set to open with they show up as "quicktime movie files" instead; what's confusing me though is that I thought they were independent of the project file, render files, etc but when I transferred several to another computer (having created them by exporting to quicktime in FCE), now only one of them will play (in quicktime - this computer doesnt have FCE). On one computer I've tried, quicktime just hangs, and on another, the file opens but it's only audio. Now one of them won't even play on the computer it was created on. I also have an iDVD project that references one of these movies, and opening that project file I get an error that it's searching for a referenced file - NOT the final cut movie file itselef, but apperenetly something that file is referencing (I'm not on that computer now so can't give the exact message but it's something with "Seq-1" in it as I recall). I may have also gotten that error opening one of the movies in quicktime, I can't remember anymore...
But it really seems these final cut movie files are referencing something - is that how it's supposed to be?? I have some I've made from previous projects that work just fine totally independently (I've deleted everything else from those projects). Any idea what's going on this time?
I'm using both FCE HD and FCE version 1 - the only movie that seems to be working independently was exported from version 1, but the others were from HD. Sorry I don't have more details about the errors, I'll try to post more later when I'm at home.
Thanks in advance!

It is a regular .mov file. It's just that it is dependent on its Project and its Render files
and also, just purely out of curiosity, what would have happened to that render file that's missing on the computer the movie was edited on? I haven't deleted any render files, did it somehow just disappear?? Thanks!
I have found that Render Files seem to get lost. Whether they are deleted in some way or it's just that FCE can't find them, I don't know.
As far as opening the FCE Project is concerned, you can easily re-render to replace any missing Render Files, but I don't like Reference QT Movies (the Dependent ones) - see my recent post at:

Will Final Cut X use Intel Quick Sync technology?

Will Final Cut X use the Intel Quick Sync technology available on SandyBridge and future processes to speed up transcoding operations?
What about if there is a discrete GPU in the system?

Hi all,
All the developers are under NDA so I didn't say anything before but it is apparent from public domain sources that OSX lion has the APIs for this (which were not available before) so this functionality will be available as soon as Lion is released. Pretty awesome, eh!

I have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

i have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

FCE was discontinued nearly 3 years ago and is no longer supported.
I don't know whether it's possible to install it on Mavericks and if you do it may not perform properly.
Final Cut pro X and iMovie are the only Apple apps that are supported.

Technically yes, as long as you use the same Apple ID on both machine's to purchase it and to download it. The Mac in the other state will have to meant the system requirements for FCP.

Chroma Key problems with Final Cut Express 4

I had no problems with the Chroma Key in Final Cut Express 4 before. It was working perfectly fine untill I brought anther Macbook Pro last year in August. I installed it on the new computer and then the Chroma Key didn't work. Final Cut opens up and the other filters work fine but I can't get the chroma key to work. Any possible reasons?

I am experiencing an interseting problem with Final Cut Express on OSX Lion. I teach in a Mac Lab at my school. Today I was trying to teach Chroma Keying- which I have been doing for years - but for some reason the color selector would just not key out anything. I tried it on four or five different machines, and it turns out that ONLY my machines that were running OSX Leopard would allow the Chroma Key to function. I have two machines running Lion and the Chroma Key would not work on EITHER of them. I followed the exact same steps, and all of the settings were identical. The hardware was also the exact same package from machine to machine. I feel like there must be an issue with OSX Lion that is breaking the Chroma Key filter. Can anyone help?

Burning a video from Final Cut Pro using iDVD

When I export and save my video from Final Cut Pro to a folder (export->Using Quick Time Conversion). When I do that there are several different videos that are saved in my folder (ie-Kelly Michelle; Kelly Michelle-av1; Kelly Michelle-av2; Kelly Michelle-av3; Kelly Michelle-av4; Kelly Michelle-av5).
iDVD is the program I need to use, I do not have any other programs. Therefore, I import the file to iDVD and once everything is ready in iDVD I try to burn the dvd. However, in the last stages of burning a window pops up and says that "an error was found during the burning process". It does not tell me what kind of an error it is. Does anyone have any advice or a step by step process that I need to do in order to burn my dvd successfully.

The simplest way to prepare a video for iDVD is to *Export/Quicktime Movie* (NOT Using Quicktime Conversion), select Current Settings, Audio and Video and, depending on your needs, other 2 options:
o- +Make Movie Self-Contained+ is preferred to have an independent movie (you can move the exported file, you can continue editing your FCP project before burning the exported version, etc.) but requires more disk space and more time for exporting.
o- +Chapter Markers+ (NOT All Chapters) must be selected if you created Chapter Markers in FCP (markers in the timeline, not the clip, and clicked the Add Chapter Marker button in the marker dialog).
The resulting .mov file (whether self-contained or reference) may be easily imported to iDVD.
