Probleme beim Öffnen eines iMovie-HD-Projekts in Final Cut Express

Hallo!
Ich bin ein absoluter Neuling im Final Cut Express und möchte meine Filme von iMovie HD dort öffnen. Leider erhalte ich hier die Fehlermeldung "Die Projektdatei kann nicht geöffnet werden".
Vorher erhalte ich noch die Meldungen "Projekt lesen" und "XML-Dateien werden importiert". Dann gebe ich den neuen Namen des Projekts ein. Anschließend erfolgt die Fehlermeldung.
Der iMovie HD-Film ist rund 1:13 h lang und beinhaltet auch Audio.
Was kann ich tun, damit ich fertige iMovie-HD-Filme unverändert in Final Cut Express öffnen und anschließend bearbeiten kann?
Ich danke vorab für eure Hilfe.
Mortima

Wenn ich es gut verstanden habe, haben sie bereits ein Kompletter Film in iMovie gemacht. Und bekommen sie die Fehler wenn Sie dieser Film in FCE "offnen" mochte. Versuchen Sie mal dieser Film zu importieren (statt zu offnen).
Also:
Command + N = neues Projekt
Comand + I = importieren
Leider keine Garantie das es gelingt, aber "offnen" gibt jedenfalls dieser Fehlermeldingen wie Sie bescchrieben haben.

Firewire 800 problem? cant see my Panasonic camcorder on Final Cut Express

Hi
I have a new IMAC 27 in, intel dual processor (which I love) and its running the lastest version of snow leopard. I got it for video editing (dec 09) and I'm fairly new to macs and the firewire 800.
I have a panasonic 3ccd camera nNV-GS500 and after finally figuring it out I got a new cable - a brand new firewire 800/400 cable. However nothing can be seen when I start up Final Cut pro express or imovie.
I have tried turning off mac, unplugging it, then turning on camera before turning on imac.
Looking at some of the threads it seems there are some issues for seeing camcorders with firewire 800 and that a firmware? (is this a download for hardware update) is an update is due - can anyone confirm what i should do.
thanks in advance

Cathy, welcome to the Discussions group.
Here is the list of camcorders supported by iMovie and Final Cut Express. Your camera is not in the lists but may still work.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2948
When you are using the camera are you running it from its battery power or is it plugged into its own power source (same question would apply to your external drive which may have a problem if its not using its own power supply depending upon how much power it would draw from the computer and how much power it needs to be reliable). You should be running the camera from its own power supply.
When you are having a problem, isolate the sources of potential conflict. Make sure no other devices are plugged into the computer. That means you'll be transferring your video to your internal disk. You can always copy or move it later to an external disk if that's where you want to store it permanently.
Follow the instructions in your camera manual carefully and we hope that works. If it doesn't work, then be creative. If the manual says to start the camera first in PLAY mode, start it in RECORD mode but then switch to PLAY mode to jumpstart FCE or iMovie to recognize there's a camera installed. That hint was provided in another thread on this topic and worked for that person. You can vary starting the camera before FCE or iMovie and then try starting FCE or iMovie first followed by the camera. Just a few variations and hope again one works.
All variations fail, and the vendors web site indicates it should work, then maybe your Firewire port on the computer has a problem. Look in "About This Mac" to see the status of the Firewire service with different devices plugged in. It's not a common problem but can happen.

Correct way of importing an iMovie 6 movie into Final Cut Express?

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Any correct way to import an iMovie 6 HD movie into Final Cut Express for further editing?
I tried.
1. I Exported the iMovie, at Full Quality and it made a Quicktime version of that movie.
2. I then Imported this Quicktime version into Final Cut Express.
3. The audio was smooth, but at regular intervals, the video freezes for a second (and then moves on).
4. The movie plays smoothly back in its original iMovie incarnation and in its Quicktime incarnation. Only in Final Cut Express is there this intermittent freezing. Stop and start.
5. I have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and iMovie 6 HD.
Thank you,
- Ross

"Full Quality" QuickTime export from iMovie gives you a DV stream which will need rendering in FCE. Rather than "Full Quality," choose "Expert Settings," and then the following:
Video
DV-DVCPRO - NTSC (assuming you're in USA)
Sound
48kHz
16-bit

Problems with Boris Title 3D (Imbedded Software in Final Cut Express 2.0)

Thanks for all your help on my previous problem...I have run into another though.
As I mentioned before, I recently upgrade to OS X Tiger. I am running FInal Cut Express 2.0, as my editing software. (The following problem was not an issue before I upgraded.) Whenever I try to edit or creat on Title 3D graphic, which used the Boris Title 3D software, the software opens, but the editor does not, and therefore I cannot edit or create any graphics using this software.
If you have any ideas on a solution, please let me know!

Import iMovie 11 files to final cut express

I just bought Final Cut Express yesterday, the main reason being that it claimed to import iMovie files into it. I have iMovie 11 and whenever I try to import the files to FCE, it says can't import due to critical error. What should I do? My only reason for buying it was because I can then better my iMovie projects!

Hi
Its a drag to find out later that something doesn't work the way "I" imagined.
Isn't it just the way Life is ? There will never be a product that thought about all
even things to come (eg new Camera formats)
(only immune system in your Body has evolved such options - to try to prevent You from modern products
but this is very exeptional)
Yours - also frustrated when I thought I got it - just to find I didn't
eg Animations and Persons in iMovie'11 - that was something compleatly different

Transferring project from a lap top (iMovie) to an iMac (Final Cut Express)

I have a partially completed video project on a Powerbook G4 lap top - using iMovie. I wish to transfer it to my iMac so that I can import it to FCE. What is the best way please to do the transfer? I have the computers connected via a Firewire cable and can see the lap top on the screen of the iMac. Should I create a Quick Time Movie on the laptop (using "best quality"), then export it to the iMac, and finally import it to FCE. Or is there a better way?
R R B

I can't tell you how to transfer the project, but I would like to say that mixing iMovie projects and FCE ones is not a good idea.
It can be done, but it is likely to cause problems.
It is always best to stick to one application.
It should be possible to recapture the footage from the camera in FCE and completely redo the video.
This will not take as long as you think as you know exactly which scenes and effects etc. you need, so it will be much quicker than your first attempt in iMovie.
Making a QT Movie as you suggest should be OK but all the transitions etc. will be "embedded" and you won't be able to readjust them.

Can you import iMovie '06 projects to Final Cut Express 4?

The just released FCE 4 toutes ability to import iMovie '08 projects. I don't like iMovie '08 - all my projects are in '06 - can I import them the the new FCE?

I imported a small '06 project to iMovie '08. Well, the only thing that was imported were the video and still images. Not imported - music tracks, transitions, titles.

IMovie-like themes in Final Cut Express, without using iMovie

While I have been getting up to speed using FCE--thanks to Tom Wolski's instructional DVD and book--I was reminded recently while watching a neighbor's video made in iMovie '09 how nice it is to have a variety of pre-made "themes" for titles and transitions.
Is there a similar set of "themes" one can buy for FCE?
If not, how can the average person create such themes for FCE? (Does it require other software or a college degree in computer graphic design? Or is this a feature of FCP that is absent in FCE?)
I know I could apply themes to desired clips in iMovie '09 and then export and reimport into FCE, but I don't want to lose video quality when iMovie "throws out" every other vertical line of interlaced video.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi Tom:
Thanks for the reply. I have a few follow-up questions. Please forgive me if they are rudimentary; I'm not at all familiar with FCP or Motion, or these pre-built Motion projects.
Tom Wolsky wrote:
They are quite different. They're pre-built Motion projects in which you can load some content or add text depending on the project. They're primarily titling projects so they're not strictly themes in the sense that they are in iMovie.
I'm trying to get a sense of what these pre-built Motion projects are like. Do they create titles like one would find in the iMovie themes such as Bulletin Board, Filmstrip, or Comic Book? They may be very different. I'd love to see few examples of these pre-built Motion projects on the web. Can you steer me to a URL where I can see such examples on the web? Any ideas how I get a better sense of what these pre-built Motion projects offer?
There are no associated transitions with them for instance, though most of the pre-built projects could be edited in Motion and made into alpha transitions.
Is this something that a person reasonably familiar with FCE could learn to do without too much difficulty in FCP/Motion? Unless Apple decides to release something along these lines in future versions of FCE, I might have to upgrade to FCP, but I don't want to jump in if I'm going to be over my head.
Do you have any instructional videos out for FCP, Tom?
Thanks.

TA26655 opening final cut express movie in imovie hd

I need to fix the exposure in a school play video that I shot, but I only have imovie hd along with idvd hd to create the dvd.
I'm going to have to purchase an older copy of final cut express to do so, I think. If I open the imovie hd file in final cut express and tone down the exposure, can I then import that "fixed" file back into imovie hd or will I need to finish editing in final cut express and make a dvd from that? My ultimate goal is to make a disk image of the dvd movie for making future copies. What is the best way to do this?

Hi
Can only answer parts of this but anyhow.
A. iMovie and FinalCut - or really iMovie HD6 and FinalCut Express 4 or FinalCut Pro 6 - doesn't use the same way to handle VIDEO. So one can not jump from one to the other.
B. This has been made even worse as
• iMovie HD6 - and iMovie'08 to 11 - HAS nothing in common but the name - not a bit of code is related.
• FinalCut Express and FinalCut Pro was one way compatible from Express to Pro - not back
• FinalCut is now also disgraced in naming - as FCE/FCP - doesn't have any relation to FinalCut Pro X either.
So this is not as easy as it could have been.
You can in iMovie HD6 - Export out as a full quality QuickTime.mov movie and in FinalCut Express or Pro import it to lay a final touch to it - BUT - all is glued in so no further changes can be made to what's done in iMovie HD e.g. texts and transitions etc.
BUT !
The tools to color-correct and brightness / contrast adjustments is superior in FinalCut to iMovie where they are but basic. (nearly of no use at all - very very raw)
So this and some other tool's made me take the jump into FinalCut Pro (6.0.4) and I love it. Steep learning curve - but the freedom is fantastic.
Must problem is in the very beginning
• selecting what kind of project You are doing - e.g. PAL SD-Video 48kHz audio
• how the material is stored - and setting up the scratch disks (they jump back - so one must keep a very observant eye to this - EVERY time starting-up)
• but when this is a natural habit to get all sorted out (photos, audio and video where it must be) then the fun really begins.
Good Luck - and have a fantastic time - Key-framing is just one of the wonderful tings You'll find.
Yours Bengt W

Problem with picture in burned DVD from Final Cut Express quicktime file

I use Final Cut Express HD to edit. On more than one occasion, I have exported a movie using quicktime conversion and then used iDVD to burn it to a DVD. Every time I do this, the DVD's picture is shaky, especially when there is fast motion. I have tried burning with both the best performance and best quality settings in iDVD and it doesn't make a difference. The same problem occured when I tried to use a friend's computer to do the same thing. We both have the new 20" iMacs. I am not sure if it is Final Cut or iDVD that is the problem, but quicktime files that are not from Final Cut Express are not a problem. I have a feeling it is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed. Thanks!

Greetings.
I've personally never used iDVD for any sort of DVD authoring, but the symptoms that you're describing are giving me the impression that there may be an issue with the MPEG 2 encode. Again, I don't know iDVD so you might be better off asking this question in the iDVD forum.

HD quality iMovie vs. Final Cut Express (AIC)

Hello,
I was finally able to carry out a simple test to compare output from iMovie '09 vs. Final Cut Express (FCE), which has proven to produce much cleaner output when compared with iMovie '08. Just as I have received help from online mac community I feel obliged to share my experiences with you in case it's of interest to you and helps you.
* Footage: filmed on Canon 5D Mark II (1080p, bitrate >40Mbps
* Imported into iMovie '09, no stabilization and other tricks, exported to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) with as little quality loss as possible
* Imported into FCE, exported to AIC
Resulting file from FCE is sharper and cleaner when compared side by side in QuickTime. Not surprisingly the same AIC export has different sizes, too.
* FCE: 477 MB for 32 seconds of footage
* iMovie: 253 MB for the same 32 seconds of identical footage
Hope this helps someone. Happy filming!
Roman

It's been long discussed, but your conclusion is not fully correct:
1) If you import at FULL, no pixels are lost by iM. Thus, his Canon footage could have come in perfectly.
2) "One field is DISCARDED with 1080i." Not true. IF AND ONLY IF you use a function or FX that performs scaling, ALL video is chopped to 540p.
3) The functions that do NOT cause conversion of ALL video to 540p include SPEED, DISSOLVE, and FADE. If you use only these FX, then EVERY pixel that is recorded by your camera CAN BE exported by iM 09.
4) If you use no FX, then EVERY pixel that is recorded by your camera CAN BE exported by iM 09.
5) To export ALL pixels, you of course, must choose the correct settings in the QT dialog. They would be the same as you use with FCE or FCP.
The fact he got different sized files shows HE did something to cause the difference. Had he done things "correctly," he would have the same size file.
PS1: Page Curl is a perfect example of a scaling FX. So, by violating the #1 rule of using iM 09 you get support for your incorrect conclusion. Folks shooting with a camera like the Canon do so mostly to get a high-end film look. Very few folks making a film use anything other than SPEED, DISSOLVE, and FADE. In fact, no one making a high-end video would use anything other than SPEED, DISSOLVE, and FADE. So, it is perfectly possible to NOT use any of the "bad" FX. (Although they can be fun I admit!)
PS2: Be aware the black Background IS one of the bad FX. Unless, this bug was fixed in the last update. A static background should not need to use scaling! If this bug remains, use a black JPEG! I keep a black and white matte in iPhoto to use with "Fade TO" FX.

Videofilter PPro.TimeWarp beim Öffnen eines Projektes in Premiere CS5 fehlt

Hallo,
beim Öffnen eines Projektes (neu oder bestehend) in Premiere CS5 erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung, dass der Videofilter PPro.TimeWarp fehlt.
Das Projekt wird zwar geöffnet, aber die Abspielmöglichkeit im Programm wird beeinflusst und ist nicht genau fließend.
Wie kann ich diese Fehlermeldung beheben?
Hat jemand eine Idee?
Vielen Dank.
MFG - DSVallee

danke. Es bringt ein bißchen Licht in die Sache - bleibt aber trotzdem
noch merkwürdig: denn das Projekt ist neu unter CS5 erstellt worden und AE
nutze ich nicht.
Mir bleibt nur noch alle importierten Dateien aus 32 bit Zeiten zu prüfen,
die ich in diesem Projekt geladen habe und dann löschen.
Vielleicht auf diese Weise kriege ich die Meldung weg.
Danke für den Hinweis.

Illustrator doc meldet beim öffnen, ein unbekannter fehler ist aufgetreten...help!!!

ein illustrator doc als pdf gespeichert meldet beim öffnen, ein unbekannter fehler ist aufgetreten...help!!!

Aus irgendeinem Grund ist die Datei kaputtgegangen. In den meisten Fällen ist dabei direktes SPeichern auf einen Sevrer die Ursache. Wenn das hier nicht der Fall war, dann würde ich auf jeden Fall die Festplatte überprüfen sowie die Zugriffsrechte überprüfen unf ggf. reparieren.
Sowie Sicherungskopien anlegen. Man sollte am besten nicht nur eine Kopie einer Datei haben. Auf dem mac geht das mit Time Machine ja vergleichsweise einfach.
Es gibt Rettungsdienste:
z.B. http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
Aber ich würde mir nicht allzuviel Hoffnung machen.
