Rendered in Windows Movie Maker, usable in Final Cut Pro for mac?

Rendered some footage on a pc and have since lost the DV tape with it on.
Is there a way to use the window's video clip file in Final Cut Pro on a mac?
If so, will there be a big loss in quality?
many thanks for reading.

for some reason after using those programs Final Cut was still not able to edit the file...would there be any explaination for this? or anything else we could try?
There's only one likely reason, you did not use a setting that would produce a QT-compatible file. Provide that information and we'll keep trying.

  • How do you add old movie count downs to Final Cut Pro X ?

    I am trying to make a video from the films that i recorded while skiing, and i was wondering how i would add an old movie count down into Final Cut Pro X, becasue i cant seem to find anywhere that does it.
    Thanks for the help guys.

    No possible.... You'll need to jot them down manually. Very painful especially if your dealing with a 2hr long DVD

  • Final Cut Pro for PowerPc G3 Mac

    is there Final Cut Pro for PowerPc G3 Mac, Im pretty sure I need version 2.0, so please comment a download like, or comment if you know anything, thanks

    This is the Final Cut Pro X forum. The software you want is not supported on any forum. Obsolete Intel technology is on the Final Cut Studio forum.
    Bottom line: modern camera formats are not available for PowerPC technology. You need to upgrade your hardware.

  • I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud

  • How should I move all of my Final Cut Pro files to an external drive?

    My MacBook Pro doesn't have enough space to hold all of my Final Cut Pro X files (my internal hard drive is only 120GB), and I bought an external hard drive that has 120GB capacity too but want to move all of my FCP files to that drive. What exactly should I be moving? Do I move the application itself? And how do I tell FCP where to find all of my media? Sorry if it seems like a stupid question, I'm relatively new to Macs.
    Thanks!

    The application remains in the Applications folder.
    The best way is to copy the projects by duplicating them to the new drive. Do that from inside the application. Duplicate the projects with all referenced events. When all the projects and media have been copied and are working correctly then you can delete them from your internal drive.
    Caution: make sure the media is actually in the events you're duplicating. If not, use the organize events function, or you will lose the media.

  • 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.

  • I cleared out a movie I made in final cut pro, now fcp will not open completely, I get the logo with all the names running through but never get timeline, browser or anything else?  Help!!  Larry

    I removed a movie I had made and now when I try to open final cut pro, all the stuff shows up with the names, etc, but that is it, I don't get anything else, and, final cut does not show at the top of my computer.  I have the 27 inch iMac with the intel processor, any help will be appreciated.  Larry

    Sounds like you may have deleted more than just the movie file.  It the FCP application in the Applications folder?  if so, try launching from there.  If not, you'll neeed to uninstall the app completely using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/  then reinstall from the original install discs.
    You may want to first try trashing FCP's preferences.

  • FInal Cut Pro for Windows?

    Yes or no. If i were to purchase Final Cut Pro Studio Academic 6, would i be able to use it with windows on my laptop? I would love to know beofre i purchase anything.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    simply said: NO.
    Final Cut is an Apple product and only runs with Apples OSX system, not with Windows.
    There are similar programs for Windows, like Adobe Premiere, for example.

  • How can you make 3d models work in Motion 5 or Final Cut Pro for under 100$

    How would you be able to make a 3d model appear in Final Cut Pro or Motion and work, for cheap.

    Not sure what you mean by work or cheap but if you're looking to do 3D modelling on the cheap I'd suggest looking into Google Sketchup or Cheetah 3D- http://www.cheetah3d.com/. FCP X and Motion are not 3D modellers.

  • HT6114 I want to re-install Aperture and make updates to Final Cut Pro on my MAC ?

    I want to re-install Aperture and to update my Final Cut Pro software, but when I go to install or update I get an error message saying I need to install the latest version of MAC OS X 10.9.  I currently have version 10.7.5 installed but when I go to do a software update it tells me that my OS X software is up to date.

  • Final Cut Pro 3-Mac Pro 3.2 Xeon

    I'm trying to install my copy of FCP 3 onto my Mac Pro 3.2, and every time I try to launch it gives me the error "Final Cut Pro" requires a System ID file which is missing or Invalid. Please reinstall using the original CD that was used to install Final Cut Pro." I have done this several times, and re-booted, and the same error comes up. I want to but the upgrade to FCP STudio 2, but I want to find out what is happening with this first. Thanks.
    Brad

    Thank you very much Jim. I suspected that was the case. I assume there is no problem buying the upgrade version ($699) as opposed to the full version ($1299). I have never launched FCP 3 on this machine, so I have never been able to enter the Serial Number. Just wanted to make sure before I spent the money. Again, thanks.

  • Which final cut pro for my emac?

    So I'm getting a bit bored with imovie's lack of multi layered video, and am wanting a program that can my emac can handle but that can do mutli layered video.
    Final cut pro/express was my first thought, but I really dont know which version i should get.
    Any one have any ideas?
    My emac is a 1.25 GHz model, with 768 MB of RAM.
    And for the record, I've got plenty of space for the movies on a 500GB firewire harddrive.

    I run Final Cut Studio 1 (FCP 5.1) on my eMac with similar spec to you (1GB ram though).
    And... it's ok.
    I believe that at least FCP 6 (Studio 2) will run on an eMac... BUT I don't know how "good" it will run. And, considering you can only buy it as part of FCP studio, you are paying for apps that will NOT run - ie Color and Motion.
    THAT said, FCP studio (current; FCP 7) is the only one you can buy from Apple today. And that is Intel only.
    My advice... to "try" Final Cut out - get Final Cut Express. Look on eBay etc for version 3.5 though, as I understand that version was actually better (more features) than the recent v4.
    FCE will give you a good feel of what FCP is about, and may well even be "enough" for your needs. Cheaper than finding a viable FC Studio option.
    cheers

  • MPEG2 codec not working in Final Cut Pro on Mac OSX Tiger

    We have been using the File-export-Quicktime Conversion-MPEG2 codec for exporting of files from Final Cut Pro to DVD Studio Pro. On the new mac system that was just bought, the option does not show up.
    Currently the system is running Quicktime Pro 7.1.2/ FCP 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 and it is a new mac system running Mac OSX Tiger.
    This problem has happened before on a mac running on an older system, but that was solved by reinstalling FCP and then DVD Studio pro and making sure that the QT Pro was of the latest version.
    Right now, we have reinstalled everything the same way, tried installing DVD Studio Pro after, we have also done a full software update of the software over the net.
    The codec is still not working, all the macs in the office are supposed to be upgraded to Mac osx tiger, but right now we can't do so, cos then we wouldn't be able to burn any DVDs.
    Please help, thanks.

    The installation of QT 7 is the culprit behind the missing MPEG-2 Export Component. But during upgrades, it doesn't always get rid of the file ... probably what happened on your older system when you upgraded to QT 7 or Tiger. Either the new system came with QT 7 preinstalled, therefore not including the Export Component, or if it was upgraded, the upgrade missed it.
