Problem playing video made from final cut

In my digital media class we use intel mac pros with the newest version of final cut pro. I made a 4 minute horror movie using a sony FX-1 HDV camera.
When i exported it from final cut, i exported it as a quicktime using the HDV 1080i60 video codec. Then i brought the finished final cut quicktime clip in quicktime and exported it as a pure .mov file that is 881 megabytes in size.
After that i put it on my flash drive and brought it home to my windows XP machine with specs listed below.
I attempted to play the movie and it said i needed a codec to play it. There was no video but the audio was clear and pristine.
Obviosly my PC is well beyond that of a normal consumer PC (seeing as it was built as a gaming PC) and it cant be that i havent met the requirements.
I cant find the HDV 1080i60 codec any where on the internet and the apple support team doesn't list a phone # to call.
I also have a 22" sceptre 2ms 300 nm, 2000:1 contrast ratio monitor capable of playing 1080p video so it cant be the monitor.
can anyone help me to play the video. Im running the newest version of quicktime 7 pro.
Help me plz, i would greatly appreciate it.

Export to QuickTime movie and set the size to 1080 and the codec as H.264.
Adjust the audio codec also to help reduce the file size.

Mini-Dvi to Video out from Final Cut Pro working

Thanx Everybody for posting reply for my post regarding running video out to external TV from Final Cut Pro in MacBook.
It's working fine.

@ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
@ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

Exporting HD video clips from Final Cut Pro in a format readable from IPad

There are many ways to convert mp4 formatted videos into a file that can be sent to IPad via Itune and be read by IPad. However, my problem is that my videos are in a format 16 x 9 and the IPad screen is near 4 x 3 format and the pictures of my videos are squeezed horizontally.
Which application could help me creating a letter box stype with black bands on top and bottom of the IPad screen so that I can have my 16 x 9 dimension of the picture kept correctly?

Whatever your output from Final Cut, if you open in Quicktime and export or share and select Apple TV (iPad), your video shouldl be exported in a format playable on iPad.

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?

Video playback from Final Cut Pro studders over HDMI

I have a problem playing back video from FCP. The video output will studder during horizontal pans when I output via HDMI. The audio output is not affected.
I have been playing video successfully using FireWire for output in FCP, however, my new video switcher system will not support FireWire output.
What are some possible causes of this problem?
System stats:
* Mac Mini (2010 model)
* 8GB RAM
* OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard)
* Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 (Final Cut Studio 3)

QT 7.1.5 can't play QT movie from Final Cut Pro 5.1.4?!

I am editing a film in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 on a PowerBook running 10.4.9.
But when I moved a QT movie from FCP's "capture scratch" onto my Core 2 Duo MacBook, QT only showed me a white screen and asked me to search for third-party updates/plugins.
To make things even stranger, I loaded the file into my MacBook's Final Cut Pro 5.0 and it runs in there flawlessly!
Since this file is a pure FCP Quicktime video, in HD (Codec: HDV 1080i50, Integer (Big Indian), Timecode), I am very surprised that Quicktime won't play it - and that FCP will...
Is this perhaps due to the fact that my MacBook doesn't have the Universal binary FCP 5.1.4 installed?
I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!

Great! Thks David..I have not come up against this prob yet,but as I am progressing along a long edit,no doubt,I will..Your tip is extremely helpful.Thanks again from Australia.

Can I move video files from Final Cut Pro to iMovie?

I've used iMovie forever, and I just bought Final Cut Pro. I uploaded video for a new movie into FCP, but I have an urgent need to get this movie done and don't have time to learn Final Cut Pro to do it. Can I move my video files from FCP over to iMovie 10.0.6? Or do I need to reload the raw video to iMovie?

No you will have to import your clips again into iMovie 10. Projects can only be transferred from iMovie 10 to FCPX and not the other way.

Is it possible to transfer stored (b-roll) video footage from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro event library? Is so, what do I need?

I have been editing in final cut express and now that I'm working in Pro X I would like to transfer my b-roll footage from FCX to Pro X. I read that there is an app. that you can buy that does this for Final Cut Pro 7, is this possible with Final Cut Express?

Any media used in FCE can be used in FCP. No third party software is required.
You cannot take an FCE project to FCP. 7toX will not help as FCE has no XML export.

Adding Hyperlink to Video Made in Final Cut Pro

I created a 10 second which incorporates my logo flash by the screen and concludes with a fade in of two different banners:
one leading to a commercial side of my work and another leading to personal.
I want to somehow export this video and import it into ActionScript and place a distinguished hyperlink over each banner. Any suggestions my genius Adobe Family?
Someone's got it en the bag! Hey, I appreciate any help I can get -Nick

Thanks for the terminology. Yes I guess it is banding on my BRD and it displays the proper gradient when I play directly out from FCP. Sequence preset is DV NTSC 48 kHz. Capture Preset is DVCPRO HD - 1080i60 48 kHz. I let FCP select the settings when I brought in my 1st bit of HD video from my camera (via IMovie: I couldn't find a way to get in directly). My video is from the new Sony NEX (1080i). I'm sorry if I didn't answer your question re: format. I'm not very techy. I didn't understand "like noise added or in 10-bit." Thanks for your help!

Problem Exporting to OMF from Final Cut Pro

Hello
I'm trying to export several audio tracks in a full length project to OMF, but no matter how short I set the in and out points or how few of the clips I select, or how many of the audio tracks I mute, I always get the same message, claiming that the resulting file would be larger than 2GB, which I realise is not currently supported. The fact that even trying to run a test with just four audio tracks over 3 minutes or so is impossible makes me think that there is either something I or the software is doing wrong.
Has anybody experienced similar problems?
Any help/pointers gratefully appreciated!
Thanks
Sebastian

You might want to check out Automatic Duck's plug in which will allow you to output an omf linked to external media. Very, very useful and worth every penny. Most sound designers want extensive handles which makes omf's with embedded media hit that 2gig limit.

Best way to go from Final Cut to DVD preserving Color Corrections

What is the best way to take my video project from Final Cut and burn it on a DVD (using DVD Studio), I need to preserve the color corrections I have made (used an external video monitor)? Also my camera shoots at black level IRE 0 and I have edited it that way, but as we all know NTSC TVs use IRE 7.5 is there anyway DVD Studio or FCP can convert the IRE so it matches?

from FC; export to compressor
In compressor, choose appropriate preset (i.e. best quality, >90 minutes, 16x9)
encode the sound as dolby 2 (if you choose "all" you'll get an extra aif file)
take the 2 files (video and audio) into dvd studio to encode.
Not sure about your IRE 7.5 question, I always assumed it was automatically converted but now you have me thinking...

Showing a Final Cut Pro project to an audience - from Final Cut or Quicktime?

I've created a 13 min Final Cut Pro project to show at an Awards Ceremony of our college. Is it better to show the video directly from Final Cut or to export it and show it from Quicktime? What's the best quality output?

hi,
its not about quality. Since you can export out at the same quality as prorez. Its about performance. Since fcpx has to combine multiple sources, audio, graphix, video etc, then combine them al into a whole, there is far more that could go wrong. Always export out a finished mastered rendered file and play that. Just make sure that the computer playing the file back can handle it. ie if you chose an uncompressed codec to export out as, the computer may not like playing it back. Choose a prorez or h264 codec, they will be fine.

Ok, I thought I could do a project in my new Final Cut Pro X. I got everything downloaded on Final Cut and I made my Project. The problem is is has taken so long to render that I don't have time. How do I download the video from Final Cut to Imovie?

Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event" > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

.Mov from Final Cut Pro not playing on PC

I've made a short video edited with Final Cut Pro. The file was saved as a .mov QuickTime movie. The demo looked great on a Mac but it has to go to people who only have PCs.
Loaded the demo onto the hard drive of the PC, but the demo is showing poor resolution. It Loaded the latest releases of QuickTime, tried putting QuickTime in safe mode, tried re-setting the screen resolution and tried using different PCs. Still get the same fuzzy screen. Even tried saving the demo in different formats from Final Cut Pro, but still no better.
Any suggestions? Thanks-- Foster

I have the same problem and need a good solution. On 2 seperate PC's. I believe (but don't know 4 sure) that it is something to do with Quicktime not using the Windows direct X environment.
You could try going into quicktime / Edit / preferences / quicktime preferences / advanced /tick the safe mode GDI only circle ... restart quicktime and try again.
