Screen-recordings exporting seetings fcp 7

Hi,
I've tried to export some screen-recordings I've recorded in screenflow and then edited through fcp, but when i get the output, the screen-recordings are very blurry and flickering..
how do I get the best output?
ps: (there are normal video clips between the screen-recordings, so it's not only screen-recordings)
thank you so much in advance !

You need to edit in dimensions that FCP works with. So even though you captured the full screen in Screenflow, you need to crop to 1920x1080, or 1280x720.
And then export to FCP codecs. Or just edit in Screenflow. that's what I do.

  • Quicktime Pro X - Screen Recordings denied by FCP

    Can anyone confirm that Apple has blocked the use of "screen recordings" made using QuickTime Player 10.0 in FCP 7.0? I've tried importing screen recordings using both the Medium Quality Setting (Codec: Photo - JPEG) and the High Quality setting (Codec: H.264) and have received the same message each time:
    File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.

    Thanks Fraky. I think you're right. Here's what I found:
    Just to see what happened, I went to the file "Get Info" panel and changed the default "Open with" program to FCP. When I then tried opening the file it gave me the message:
    "Unsupported Frame Rate.
    Final Cut Pro does not support this frame rate or the way it is represented."
    I took your advice and tried bringing the file into Compressor(3.5). Compressor recognized the file and allowed me to encode it to a different codec. I tried a number of different codecs, and they all imported into FCP just fine.
    Does anyone know what the default frame rate of the "Screen Recorded" movies are that can be made with QuickTime Player 10.0? I find it a little odd that FCP wouldn't recognize the frame rate. Whatever the default frame rate of those "scrren recodings" are, it must be something unconventional as I know that FCP recognizes a wide range of frame rates.

  • Screen recordings intended for FCP

    Let's say for example I am doing a screen recording of a scene from a movie I like. The video source is HD and I want to save that screen recording in a format that is natively supported in FCP. What is a good format to choose in this scenario. Assuming I want to retain the same quality as the original.
    And how bout the frame dimensions/pixel? Do they have to be precisely the same measurements as the fcp supported format?

    Look in the FCP Easy Setup list. THOSE are your choices for codecs to render out of ScreenFlow with. If you want HD, then choose ProRes or ProRes LT...but know that you have to crop to 1920x1080 at least, or 1280x720.
    BUT...why aren't you editing in Screenflow? That is what it is designed for. Editing within the app, to avoid having to export in an editing codec.

  • Quicktime screen recording blurry in FCP X

    I use both FCP 7 and FCP X but am making the permanent switch to FCP X.  I recently made a video in FCP 7 with screen recordings from Quicktime.  The quality looked perfect when I exported the finished video as an .mov.  However, I tried using the same clips in FCP X and found that the clips look blurry/low quality in the playback window and also when exported as an .mov.  I've played around with a few different export settings but none of them are resulting in a high resolution final product.  How do I get high quality screen recordings from Quicktime into Final Cut Pro X?  Should I be more scientific about the screen size/ratio than I needed to be in FCP 7?  Am I doing something wrong when importing the clips?

    That causes 'muddy' pics:
    FCPX is basically meant for video = standards, e.g. 1080 or 720 ...
    Screen-recordings, in 99% cases, are 'off'' those standard resolutions => 'un-even' scaling neccessary = loss of quality.
    (plus, the harm added, to playback those files again in some 'uneven' scaling...)
    best-practice:
    Use designated tools, as the widly recommended Screenfflow ...
    Plan B)
    … for the small budget:
    learn how to create FCPX with custom resolutions ...

  • QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

    I am doing screen recordings with QuickTime 10.1 that appear to be of good quality until I import into Premiere Pro CS6 and then they display and export very poorly and very blurry to the point that you can't read the text on the page. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

    Hi Kristine,
    Make sure that the clips are positioned on the X,Y axis as whole integers, not integers + decimal points. See if that works for you.
    Thanks,

  • Imported screen recordings are importing tinted red.

    When i Import screen recordings into this version of imovie, they have a red tint, like really dark red.  this never hapened before the update.  thoughts?  I used quicktime to screencast

    I had that problem until I googled it and found that if you export the QuickTime .mov file from QuickTime (I used the 1080p format), the red tint went away.
    Hope this helps.

  • Blu Ray cisc burning via new Easy Export in FCP 7

    Would love to hear from anyone who has tried the new feature Easy Export in FCP 7 upgrade for Intel Macs, particularly the Blu Ray burning export from within FCP 7 to Blu Ray Disc. What is the quality (limits), H.264? and do we finally have actual Chapter Marker Options, and truely custom background / menu image options? I'm considering finally giving up on my PowerPC G4, and going with a new Intel based Mac, or wait a little longer if this upgrade is not worth it.
    I'm currently burning Blu Rays with Toast 10 and a LaCie BD Drive with great results.

    Hi
    Ive burnt a few discs now and very happy with the result- with an LG burner.
    I posted some rough notes on Ken Stones forum with some screen shots.
    http://www.kenstone.net/discussions/read.php?3,14496,14496#msg-14496
    About to go to bed (i'm in the UK) so I won't repeat it all here.
    Briefly:
    -Yes you can Import markers.
    -You have more control over data rate/quality when exporting BD from compressor- although i have seen nothing wrong with the default.
    -The background is slightly customisable, Some of the templets have an animated background (a prores-LTvideo file enclosed in the templet package)
    I haven't tried this yet - but think it would be very easy to replace this with a file of your own design and so create your own animated looped background.
    The templets are basic but might be better than what you have at the moment?

  • Importing high quality screen recordings into final cut

    Please can someone here help me. Nobody in the Apple stores in London, great as they normally are, was able to help me.
    I am trying to make a high resolution / quality video of screen recordings of a website for promotional purposes. I am able to make screen recordings using Quicktime7 and Screen Flow and assumed I could just import them into FCE, edit where necessary and then export into Quick time but here the problems start
    1. Final Cut Express does not allow you to import screen recordings from Quicktime7. I was told the answer to this was to convert them into Mpeg 4 files using a free software called Streamclip. Fine. This works but by the time the files are in FCE, the quality is poor. By the time I have exported the video into quicktime so it can be viewed the quality is even lower. Result: Very low quality recordings
    2. Using screenflow I can import the files directly into FCE but again the quality is reduced by the time they get there and again by the time they are exported into quicktime. Result" Low quality recordings.
    I have looked at using 100% quality every where where this option is available but to no avail.
    Finally an apple expert said the only option I had was to import the screen recording direct from the computer to my video camera via the video in port but that I needed to buy two connectors, namely video into dvi and then dvi into mini display port. Sounds laborious. Is this my only option? Do I need to upgrade to FC Pro (out of the question due to budget)?
    I'm under time pressure. Any help very much appreciated!
    Thanks
    Chris

    1. Whoever told you to convert to MPEG-4 is completely wrong and should not be working in an Apple store. FE only works in QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec for HD material. It only works in specific screen resolutions used in video formats. 1920x1080, 1440x1080, 1280x720, and DV for standard definition.
    2. Full resolution media from ScreenFlow can only be edited in Final Cut Pro.
    You can record directly to a a camera but you need a high quality scan converter. Just doing it off a computer screen will produce rubbish video.

  • Screen recordings are frozen

    Using 10.3 (727.4). Some of my screen recordings are frozen when I play them back. There is audio but no movement on the screen. I am taking excerpts from a video presention online. I play the vid, start the screen recording then stop the SR when I have what I want. Most of them work but some are frozen. Come to think of it there are time when I pause the video, then start the SR, then stop the SR. I don't know if that matters. I can't post a link because it's password protected. The file save as a .mp4 file.
    Thanks

    I had that problem until I googled it and found that if you export the QuickTime .mov file from QuickTime (I used the 1080p format), the red tint went away.

  • Everytime I export from FCP using comressor I am lose my audio, any ideas as to why this is happening. Or do I have somthing turned off and I am just missing it? Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Exporting via Compressor may be recommended but it is slow and doesn't fully support all available filters, etc.
    Try exporting the timeline as a QT Movie (the "normal" export) using Current Settings and them submit the resultant clip to Compression. Works for me...

  • Export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro?

    Is it possible to export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro? If not, what is the preferred file format because my exported quicktime files come up as "incompatible format" when I try to add them into my DVD project. Any help is appreciated.

    You need to encode audio as well from Compressor. You'll have 2 files - audio and video.
    Here's a tutorial:

  • Exporting from FCP to DVD

    Hey
    Just wondering if I can get some advise. I need to export my project from final cut pro to DVD but just wondering what the best way to do this would be to get the best quality DVD. (This is for a company to take out to potential clients to sell what the company does - so it needs to look good!)
    My project is no longer than 5 mins
    1920 x 1080 - 1080i (16:9)
    Field Dominance: None
    frame rate 25
    I have Final Cut Studio latest version.
    I'm trying out a few options at the moment using compressor - best quality - so we'll see what these look like, but I'm not sure what all the settings should be set at.
    Any advise on what you think will be best would be great.
    Thanks

    Wouldn't use Quicktime conversion - no need. Just export from FCP as Quicktime Movie at current settings.
    In my experience, changing the field dominance from interlaced to progressive can cause stuttering particularly in motion graphics - this might not be an issue if you're laying to tape for broadcast but when you convert back to interlaced for SD DVD it can look very ugly.
    In any case, at the very least, you need to be using a Kona card or IOHD to do this type of conversion properly - and really, if you want progressive you should shoot progressive.

  • QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings are Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

    I am doing some screen recordings on my Mac using QuickTime 10.1, but when I try to import them into Premiere Pro CS6, they are poor quality and blurry. It's difficult to read text and logos on the recordings are showing up fuzzy. Anything I can do to improve the quality with what I have? I'm trying to do a new site demo, so I'd like to have things appear more clearly. I am, however, by no means a video expert or Premiere Pro expert, so a lot of the output names and labels, I'm not familiar with. Is that what I'm doing wrong?

  • PAL files exported from FCP don't display

    This is a strange one... SD PAL uncompressed files exported from FCP 6.03 won't display, you just see black. HD files are fine, as are SD PAL files exported a while ago - prior to a recent pro apps or QT update possibly? As a workaround, if they exported via compressor instead of by 'export quicktime' in FCP, they work fine. Shake is 4.0 since 4.1 doesn't want to display via a decklink.
    Any ideas? This seems to be a new one.

    Does the computer your using to view this video have Final Cut Pro installed?

  • Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

    Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

    What arrow?
    Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
    If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.
