QT file from final cut not working on other macs

Hi,
Sorry to anyone who's seen this question under a different category, but I have to do a presentation tomorrow and I'm freaking out that this doesn't work, I wasn't quite sure what program's fault it was.
I have a .mov file that was encoded from Final Cut (version 5.1.4) (h.264) on a mac pro running Tiger and QT version 7.5.5 and is a .mov file
I am trying to play it on a G4 PowerBook running 10.3.9, QT version 7.4 and it wont play the movie, it keeps dropping frames and generally playing very shakily and sometimes crashing, I tried it on a G4 I-Mac (with the same specs) too, and its the same problem. Therefore I can only presume that it must be something to do with the OS, or the QT version or something else entirely maybe.
Thanks loads to anyone who can help
Sam

Your fault and yours alone.
You have not provided any information that actually help us help you.
What codec are you trying to use? ".mov" does not tell us anything useful. What is the playback application on the host machine? Are you playing form a CD, a DVD, or the hard drive?

My files from final cut pro trial aren't transferring to final cut pro x - how do I fix this?

I had been making a video in the final cut pro trial and didn't realize my trial was going to run out as soon as it did that day. I downloaded final cut pro x and was planning on finishing up editing tonight, but none of my files from final cut pro trial transferred over to final cut pro x. Everywhere I have read online said they should transfer automatically, but that's not happening. Is there a fix?

you're tried using the 'Open Library' command?

TS2179 import files from final cut express to idvd

Import files from final cut express to idvd. When we are making a dvd in iDVD importing the files (widescreen mov files ) from final cut express they automatically change to 4x3. They look correct when played in the quicktime player. Has anyone had this problem.

Generally, I just drag the DV file from the finder to the iDVD menu window. Make sure you don't drag it to any Drop Zones, I think that might be your problem with the DV file showing up as the background. If you have default settings in iDVD, this drag and drop should then create submenus based on your chapter markers.
I'm not sure if you have any issues with the Chapters not showing up in QT. If you're expecting them to show up, then make sure that when you do the Export to QT that the option to include Chapter Markers is set. Upon conversion, you should see the Chapters within QT as well as when imported into iDVD.
Hope this helps!

Exporting files from Final Cut Pro in Snow Leopard

I am using Final Cut Studio 2. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before the upgrade when I would export files from Final Cut the dialog box would automatically go to the last used folder location. Now, each time it goes to the system hard drive. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Fix what?
Just choose the correct folder to which to export.

Retrieving imported AVCHD files from Final Cut Pro X

Hi there, does anyone know how to retrieve raw AVCHD clips from Final Cut Pro X, after they have been imported? I shot some footage on my GH2 and it DID import from the camera into FCP X, but it's not running smooth at all. I heard that it's better to convert the files into pro res first, but I wanted to see if it worked. It does work, but not very well. So now I want to find the original video files I imported and convert them into pro res and then import again. Anyone had experience with this?

I think it all comes back to work flow. The whole reason I have opted to convert the original files to pro res is because it is choppy in the timeline when I'm editing. It seems it's true that FCP X really prefers to work with 'optimized media'...or Pro Res instead of reformatted versions of AVCHD. I would like to work with this original format, mainl because the footage isn't as compressed and hasn't lost a generation...and look absolutely pure and gorgeous in high bit rate from my GH2, however, what choice do I have but to convert to Pro Res if I am unable to edit smoothly? I think Ian had the right idea when he said to compare the footage of both, but again, if I can't even edit in AVCHD then what's the point? I think Apple needs to rectify this in the next update as I'm sure there are so many users out there who would prefer editing in this original format. Is there a noticeable loss of quality, that's what I am curious about.

Importing file from final cut express to final cut pro

Hello, I am taking a video I have been working on from final cut express and opening it into final cut pro on another machine. It brings footage over but completely incorrect. I am editing a music video and its basically taking the files and putting them out of sequence etc. When I first open up final cut pro it will say do you want to update this video to the new version which I expected to which I respond yes but its jacked up after that. Any suggestions?

Generally, I just drag the DV file from the finder to the iDVD menu window. Make sure you don't drag it to any Drop Zones, I think that might be your problem with the DV file showing up as the background. If you have default settings in iDVD, this drag and drop should then create submenus based on your chapter markers.

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 'flv' files from Final Cut Pro

Hi,
I was wondering if there was such a program that would export
'flv' files straight from Final Cut Pro time line for my mac. I
know that you can purchase Adobe Flash which enables this, however
I don't wish to buy the whole program. Is there a video encoder
program or something that you can purchase that will enable me to
export from FCP?

Not sure about FCP, tho I would expect the latest Final Cut
Studio to be able to do
it.
Anyway,
Quick Time Player can export MOV to FLV. Not sure whether
it's the regular player,
I'm having the PRO version for many years and this one allow
that kind of export.
You being a Mac user, I guess that's the easiest and cheapest
way to get FLV out of your
available tools.

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.

Importing DV files from Final Cut Pro 4.5 to iMovie 6.03

I have a DV quality exported file from file cut pro 4.5 complete with Chapter markers. When I play it in QuickTime - it looks fine - complete with chapters sub headings ( pull down menu) on the bottom right corner - and a white line at the top - with very clear text telling me what chapter I am on right now.
When I drag this same file into iMovie 6.03 - after the import procedure stops - and I tried to play the movie - I noticed that the little white line showing the chapter marker titles - looks very smudgy/ pixilated.
I was under the impression that if I imported a DV quality movie into iMovie - there would be zero degradation - however this appears to not be true.
Question: What is going on here - is the video degraded by importing DV to imovie? Why would the little white line at the top look bad? How can I fix this - is there a better way to import without using a camera?

Why work in iMovie if you have FCP anyway?
good question - because this time I was having problems in FCP and had the mistaken notion that imovie might be easier... guess not

Can you export a Quick Time REFERENCE file from Final Cut Pro X?

Used to be in FCP-7, you could export your timeline and at the bottom of the Export dialog box, there was a check box where you could check "Make the movie self-contained," which would export a full Quick Time .mov file, or you could UNCHECK that box and FCP would export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (referencing the source media used within the timeline), which you could then bring in to any one of a number of different encoding apps.
I prefer to use Sorenson Squeeze to do my encoding, as it's much, much faster than Compressor and has infinitely more format options (Flash, Windows Media, Real, etc., etc.).
But now, I don't see a way to export a Quick Time Reference file from the Final Cut Pro timeline, er, uh, storyline, er, uh, project.
Anybody know if there's a way to export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (not a full Quick Time .mov)?

I do the same thing with Final Cut Express, actually. Only I then open the reference file up in QuickTime Pro and re-export it to an h.264 mp4. I can do that multiple times in the background vs. getting caught up in Final Cut's pathetically non-threaded user interface when it's saving/exporting.
I was going to ask the exact same question here, but you beat me to it. And so far it sounds like the answer is "no" ... :-(

How do I get the files from final cut pro trial to final cut pro

I purchased Final Cut Pro after using the trial version and I don't know how to get the project I was working on into the new purchased version?

You should be able to determine which version your trial is by control-clicking it on your desktop and selecting "Get Info" from the contextual menu that appears.
