Re-editing a project fron a DVD

Rather brilliantly, I have deleted all capture files and export files from a Final Cut Express project - I have a DVD burned from the project. I need to import the footage and sound back into FCE to re-edit.
Anyone have an idea how to do this?- (The Video TS files import but play in FCE with a black border and the Audio TS files are blank.)
Also how can I simply duplicate thge original DVD onto another DVD?
Thanks in advance.

Download the free Streamclip ...... you will probably have to purchase the QT Playback component.

Use Disk Utility to make a Disk Image (.dmg) of your DVD.
Put in a new DVD, select the .dmg and burn it.

  • If I burn a project to DVD to test can I continue to edite the project on the Mac or does it render and close the project.

    If I burn my project to a DVD to test the editing, can I continue to work on the project or does it close it.

    Yes. Export as QT and drag file into Compressor. Select the DVD preset (either make adjustments via Inspector or not…your call) output either to your optical drive or create a disk image. You should be able to continue to work on your project while the DVD is being encoded and output.
    There may be other ways as well…I'm still in discovery mode when it comes to X.
    Good luck.

    There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

    UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
    But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
    “when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
    I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
    “You can still use it one all of your Macs.  If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
    “It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
    I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected.  For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
    The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

  • AVCHD edit in PE10 share to DVD or Blue Ray

    I am currently editing a project in AVCHD and plan on making DVD and BR discs.  Not all the people who want this footage have blue ray players or HD TVs.   The footage is of sporting events with lots of action and camera movement.    What I have found in doing many trial samples is the DVD quality is poor that PE10 produces when using AVCHD files.   I have done some limited editing with DV from an old camcorder in PE10 and it looks much better than the AVCHD rendered to a DVD disc.  Since the AVCHD files are much higher quality I was very disappointed that I can't get the same quality as an old camcorder that was mini DV.  After reading various forums and Steve Grisetti's book I have a work around but it seem crazy to go through all these steps.   Does this make sense?
    Camera Cannon HFM 41 settings used are AVCHD  1440 x 1080 60i,  I have set the PE10 project settings at HD 1080i 30 (60).  After editing about 15 minutes of video, still pictures(which have been resized), with transitions, titles, etc.  PE10 seems to be doing the editing fine.
    When taking through the Share process to DVD the quality is poor.
    Steve has a work around in his book where I take the project  to a computer file and save it.  The setting is under the MPEG option and is : MPEG2  1440 X 1080i30.   This file looks good on the computer screen.
    From here I take the file through "ANY Video Converter" to an AVI file.   I take this file and put it into a new PE10 project with DV settings of 720 x 480.   When I render this to a DVD the quality is OK, almost as good as other projects I have done starting with standard definition cameras.    Still a little disappointed that even the stills are quite as good.
    This seems like a lot of work but I have tried dozens of different ways and the quality comes out very poor.   I have considered taking the files from the camera and converting to AVI before editing but then I can' t make a BR disc.
    Is there a better way to take AVCHD to DVD and BR from one project?
    There seems to be lots of opinions on which converters are the best, not sure if I selected the best one.

    You should be shooting at 1920x10801 for Blue Ray otherwise you will get an unexpected loss of quality in trying to make your final BD.
    1440 doesn't correspond to any horizontal TV size (usually 680,720,1366 or 1920)
    The loss occurs because you cant fit in an exact pixel so a sharp video transition gets averaged around a few pixels immediatley halving the apparent resolution.
    To see this at it's worst, set your computer adapter card to half the pixel resolution of your computer monitor and try to read fine text compared to when it is exactly the same.
    This matching is why true full HD 1920 x 1080 observed on a true 1920x1080 big screen is so dramatically better than all others. (Few TV transmissions are true Full HD)
    There is always a loss of some quality converting resolutions that are not an exact multiple of the final result.
    You should also be cropping and converting all stills to 16x9 1900x1080 pixels (in Photoshop) before adding to the timeline
    Because HD is so much better, HD camera dont need so much "high frequency" boost or sharpening as standard cameras did,
    They are relatively soft at the point where the pixels cease in DVDs (about 640)
    The HD sharpening (or crispening) is done at a much higher pixe setting setting in HD and this is completely wiped out when you convert to DVD.
    The way to compensate is to sharpen the video to be downconverted at the 640 pixel part of the spectrum before converting which is what most standard def broadcast cameras always did to make them apparently sharp at that lower resolution (it was all done with mirrors!)
    Obviously you only sharpen the file to be made to a DVD, not to the one for BD although you can often make up for a fuzzy original even in a BD!
    See the difference only 10% makes?

  • Why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore??  (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

    why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore??  (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

    Hi
    There is a limiting factor that's easy to miss.
    • FREE SPACE on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk
    When this goes low then iMovie, Mac OS and all applications runs into problems. So to get a safe way to work (for me) I set a minimum that I try to never go lower than. (Sorry for strange sentence)
    I never let my Mac (Macintosh HD) go lower than 25GB free space. If it does - then I move away things to an external hard disk (always Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - as nothing else will do for VIDEO)
    Else - in iDVD Time is the limiting factor. (iMovie - I never run into any - my monster Vacation epos is >>6 hours)
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.

  • Multiple FCPX projects to one DVD - workflow struggles

    I'm trying to create a dance recital DVD comprised of multiple projects, with the projects being four acts from a performance. I'd like to create a DVD that has a menu that allows the user to choose from the four acts.
    I have one project created for each act, and have added titles and transitions for each of the dance numbers in each act. Because I want each dance to be a chapter, I sent each project to Compressor to add chapters. The chapters are created for each project, but now I'm unsure how to proceed.
    I see how to create a Job Action to burn to DVD, but that prevents me from adding the other projects to the DVD. I have also considered combining the four projects into one large project, but then how do I add a menu that will allow the user to choose between the acts?
    Must I ultimately create the DVD from Compressor (whose interface only an OS 9 user could love)? I'd like to create some graphics with Motion, but I'm not sure how to include them.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I found no way to add the DVD files I created in Compressor to my project in iDVD 7.1.2. Since there is not a newer version of iDVD available at the App Store, it seems that is not a viable solution. Or I'm doing something wrong, which is always a strong possibility. But I've created a number of DVDs in the past using files from iMovie, so I suspect there may be an issue here.
    Adding my DVD files from Compressor to my Toast project was simple. Unfortunately, the chapter markers I created in Compressor were not recognized by Toast; however, Toast allows you to create chapter markers, so I'm doing that there. And creating the markers in Toast is less clunky than doing so in Compressor, so that's preferable anyway.
    So my workflow wound up looking something like this:
    Import video into FCPX
    Create projects for each act, edit, add transitions and titles
    Send each project to Compressor and create DVD video and audio
    Add acts/projects to Toast file, add chapter markers, and create disk image
    I hope this proves useful to someone else.

  • Can I edit one project on two computers with external drive and two copies of software?

    I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project.  Can I do this? thanks for the help

    jazziegirl
    Thanks for the follow up.
    The matter of the sign in/trial version has happened to me from time to time with Premiere Elements (I worked with Windows). I supply
    the requested information and that usually takes care of that message for a long while.
    What is the status of the issue now with the MacBook Pro to iMac projects? Is that matter restricted to just one project from MacBook Pro to iMac?
    If so, on this particular one, did you try the Project Archiver/Copy Project workflow in MacBook Pro?
    As for the error message...I am not a Mac user, and consequently I am not sure I am interpreting the following correctly. But take a look to see if any of it applies

  • How do I burn a simple iMovie project to a dvd ?

    I am so frustrated every time I make an iMovie project and am ready to burn it to a dvd whether for a client or family/friends because I struggle each time to know what the steps are.  When I finally get one burnt it is just by accident it seems and I go through so many dvds it's not funny.  I don't like to use DVDR's that are printable because when they don't work I have wasted one of them, and I want to make professional looking dvds with a picture or logo printed on the dvd.  There is nothing on the iMovie Help button that leads you to the steps for burning a dvd from your project even after you have shared/saved it in the size format you will be showing it.  If I type in BURN IMOVIE DVD or anything at all like that it leads me to dead ends.  I eventually seem to burn a dvd but it seems it is only by hit and miss and a lot of wasted dvdr's.  Please, can't Apple provide simple steps to follow to burn iMovie projects to a dvd for viewing on various computers and tvs?  I REALLY need answers. 

    In addition to John's suggestions this is what I was referring to. Use a template such as this one:
    Select the button that's on the menu and delete it
    Make a simple black graphic in any basic graphics application and fill it with black. Just drag the graphic into the menu to replace the background.
    In map view place your video in the first play box

  • Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • I can not edit video from my new DVD Camcorder...

    I recently purchased a Canon DC210 in hopes of learning to edit the movies I make with it before taking my honeymoon to Alaska in May, but I am not able to import the video from the disks.  Is iDVD capable of doing what I am wanting to do i.e.. import, arrange, and edit scenes from the mini DVDs?  

    Unless I am missing something the list actually skips over my Model Number (Canon DC210)? I am still not seeing anything that tells me that '08 is going to solve any of my problems. I currently have iDVD 6.0.4 and it doesn't seem to have the capabilities I need. I don't think I am going to invest in another piece of software if I am not able to find something that specifically says it will work with my camera or media type.
    Can you point me some where that does actually say it will?

  • How can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

    I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

    I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
    1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
    2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
    3. so, now on your desktop  ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
         Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
    4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
    5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
    Hope this is of some help.

  • When attempting to edit a project in the PWA I receive the error: 'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again...' Project Server 2013

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can assist with the error we are encountering when trying to edit a project from the PWA in Project Server 2013.  I can click on the project name and go to the detail page and I can
    click and see the schedule.  However, if I click on a task in the schedule and attempt to edit it, I receive the following error:
    'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.'
    At this point I must click cancel twice to get rid of the error pop-up message.  At this point, I am no longer able to look
    at the schedule of the project either.  Can someone assist with this issue?

  • HT201109 When I download my Final Cut project onto a DVD 3-4 photos are continually repeated throughout the presentation. If played back via the computer there is no problem

    When I download my Final Cut pro project onto a DVD about 3-4 photos are continually repeated throught the presentation. If I play back via the computer this does not happen. It is the same photos repeated. I have taken loop off from view. Any assistance ?

    I have two projects one with DVD and photos and the other just photos. The DVD is 20 mins and the photos just 8 mins.
    I have tried to burn from the share dropdown menu  ( DVD ) in FCXP and also tried download to media browser then used DVD creator to produce the DVD but the problem exists with both actions. I deleted the repeated photos from the presentation but another 3-4 different photos repeat. I hope this makes some sense .
    thanks salty777

  • After editing a project, my imported files disappear.

    After editing a project, my imported files disappear.  White page with yellow triangle alert.  Instructions say I need to relink my files, but I can't find that option anywhere.  Version 10.0.  Using OS X 10.9.2

    Can I share and export from the 10.1.1 Trial?  My son downloaded the original for me under his apple id, I don't know what his password was so I can't upgrade.  He was killed a couple years ago so I don't have anyway to recover it.  But I'm working on a project that I need to get out right away.  Figured I'd try the new version before I buy it.  I clicked to upload to youtube, but can't tell if it's doing anything or not.
