Send from Final Cut Pro X Trial to Compressor 3.5.3

In the Share menu, I've selected "Send To Compressor", but it tells me I don't have Compressor installed. I do. It's 3.5.3. I've opened it separately and it works fine. I've tried reinstalling Compressor, and trashing Final Cut's preferences, and still no luck. Any suggestions?

FCPX will not Send to Compressor 3, it requires Compressor 4 to be installed. Hence the warning.

  • Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    It doesn't seem to work on mine, when I go to command: the export button is in grey, whereas all the others (import; customize) are black and can be actionned. Is this a restriction in the trial version or is there a way to activate export?
    Thanks

  • Moving Project from Final Cut Pro X Trial to full program

    Im currently running a trial copy of FCP X and will likely buy it.  Once I've purchased a copy from the app store, does it recognise the trial version and make that a full version or is it a seperate app (as I suspect).
    If its the second one as Im guessing it will be, is there an easy way to transfer a project from the trial version into the main app.
    Apologies if this sounds like a dumb question, but I need to know the answer

    Sorry I've found an answer to this on another post, I did try and search for it but it only appeared when this one was posted!
    Can't find a way to delete this, but thanks in advance if you were about to help.

  • Video does not display when sending from Final Cut Pro to Motion

    Suddenly, when sending an audio & video sequence to Motion, a new Motion file is created, and all my layers come in properly, but the video does not display.
    The audio plays fine, and Motion clearly know that there are video tracks there, but it does not display them.
    Additionally, when rendering the Motion file back in FCP, it turns in to black video.
    I have previous sequences within the same project that were sent just fine, and are editable properly, but any new ones I try to create just come out black.
    Help, please?

    Do you have Motion mistakenly set to render out with an Alpha channel?
    Double click your Motion clip in the Timeline. Go to Modify > Composite Mode in the menu bar and set the Alpha to "None/Ignore".

  • "media server application expectly quit" when submitting from final cut pro

    browsing through the list, it seems the problem couldn´t be solved so far.
    doing some systematic testing, the following riddle shows up:
    ... when adding a QT ref movie (or movie) directly to the compressor batch list and submit to the cluster, everything runs fine.
    ... when exporting from final cut pro:
    menu -> export -> using compressor ...
    submitting in compressor using:
    1) Cluster: this computer: everything keeps running fine.
    2) Cluster: MylovelyCluster ....
    the job fails with the message "Failed: HOST [clusternode_name.local] media server application unexpectedly quit"
    since there is 5TB + of data to be compressed, copying files to the render nodes is not an option. all data is on a shared xraid, connected via giganet.
    Any ideas, any hints appreciated !
    regards,
    p.s. Anybody running an XSAN having the same issues?
    G5s, G4s, G3s, macminis, powerbooks   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   xraid

    ... well, the answer is in other topics.
    showstopper explains it patently again and again ...
    thanks from here.
    shortly: when submitting from FCP, every node HAS to have FCP installed and MUST have access to the same relative file path (mounted shared volume). If the volume is not present, the render node will open the reconnect media dialogue and waits for user input.

  • When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor using local QCluster

    When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by way of Share and using the local QCluster, the audio renders, but the video errors out saying something along the lines of Can not locate file.
    If I use 'This Computer' it works fine.
    What gives?
    Fresh install of OS and FCS.
    Thanks!

    I'm just learning the intricacies of Compressor and Qmaster myself, but I have learned that when you use Qmaster you can not share directly from FCP. You must export a Quicktime movie (reference movie seems to be fine) and input that to Compressor. This is only an issue when using Qmaster, as you've seen.

  • 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?

  • Why does Compressor take so long to export a 10 minute video clip from Final Cut Pro?

    I've been trying export a 10 minute clip from Final Cut Pro. so it can be used with DVD Studio Pro and burned. However, the rendering process has taken 12 hours! The clip I'm exporting has minimal effects, no music, and is in 1080i 30fps. Does anyone know what's going on or what I can do to speed up the process?

    First: How are you exporting? Are you using the Share feature or  Send to Compressor?
    Second: You haven't said anything about your system configuration or really very much about your movie. What is its format… is it really 30fps or 29.97? Whatever it is, are the project settings identical to the clip properties, or were they changed?

  • Send to Final Cut Pro in Color off an external Hard Drive, causes Color to Crash

    Okay, so I'm having some Color issues guys...
    I'm color correcting a feature right now, and just completed the CC with Color. I did the entire color correct on an internal hard drive on a Mac Pro. My client wanted to take a look at the CC on a different machine, so I transferred all of the FCP files, Color Projects, footage, etc. (the ENTIRE directory from my machine) onto an external hard drive....
    ...When I opened the color project from the external drive on his machine, all of my media was gone, so of course I reconnected the media (directly from the source, the same source files I edited with in FCP), and everything was fine. My grades were there, and everything looked great....
    ....I rendered my Color sequence and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and color crashed on me. It continued to do this....
    ....I went back to my machine and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and everything worked just fine. What went wrong with the data transfer? Is that the reason Color keeps crashing? Is it because I relinked the footage in Color to the original source files? It doesn't make sense to me. All of the data from the original drive was moved to an external and relinked.
    I'm pretty new to Color so any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
    -Chris

    Copy the original project and media to the external drive using Media Manager. It will maintain the links.

  • How can i uninstall the final cut pro x trial version after installing final cut pro x

    How can I unintall the trial version of the final cut pro x after installing the new updated final cut pro x 10.2

    I have the same issue. There are now two version of FCP X: the trial one and the purchased one. Problem is, the first hasn't been overwritten by the second, and all my projects are only visible on Final Cut Pro X Trial, and nothing on FCP X.
    How and where do I get a fast answer from customer support?
    Thank you

  • I recently installed older version of Imovie and final cut pro free trial now imovie 11 wont open what do I do?

    I recently installed older version of Imovie and final cut pro free trial now imovie 11 wont open what do I do?

    Do you mean that the old version of iMovie (which version?) worked until you installed the FCP trial?
    Note that you can only transfer projects from the latest version of iMovie (10) to FCP 10.1

  • Will a Final Cut Pro X Trial project transfer over to a bought, full version?

    I recently downloaded the Final Cut Pro X Trial and started on a project to see how it works. I like the software. If I buy it from the App store will I be able to continue to work on the project that I have started in the trial version? Will the project transfer over to the full FCPX? Or will I have to start the project over from scratch?
    I'm hoping, of course, that I won't have to start it over, and it just transfers over or opens up automatically in the full, purchased version.
    Thanks.

    The full version will open the trial version project.

  • Send to - Final Cut Pro XML data not seeing my Color render

    Sup folks,
    As always I did some lurking on these boards and consulted the manual about this issue.
    Nada.
    I've rendered my shots. They were all queued. They were all rendered.
    When I use the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command I get the "not all your clips were rendered" warning. I click yes to see what I will get.
    FCP imports the XML data and I get nothing. All of the clips in my FCP timeline generated through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command are all of my original media prior to my color workflow. Not my graded Color renders.
    I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
    I thought that would fix my problem. It didnt.
    So again: my issue is that even with my shots all rendered correctly (i checked them in QT) the XML being sent to FCP through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command is not hooking up with my renders.
    Deadline tomorrow.
    As always,thanks for your time

    I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did >update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
    If I'm following the sequence correctly, you rendered your material to a local drive. Then you moved it, changed the paths (in COLOR), and then tried to "Send to... FCP". Is this correct? If so, doomed to failure. In your case, you may have even moved an empty folder.
    There is an ironclad and non-negotiable series of events in rendering and initiating the roundtrip. Many users regard this as a "bug". One of the first things that a user should always do is set up all the target paths before even doing the first grade. But it is essential that the target render path be set up PRIOR to loading the Render Queue. COLOR creates the receiving folder at that time, and that is where the media will go no matter what you do after the RenderQueue is loaded. Change the path, change the format... change whatever you want... the deal has been done, and all will be ignored. However, once the media is rendered and you choose Send To... FCP, then the original XML that FCP sent will be modified by COLOR and passed back to Final Cut. COLOR does NOT,repeat, NOT generate EDLs, XMLs, or any of that stuff. It only modifies original lists. That you modified the Media, Render and Project paths (probably only in the User Preferences tab) is meaningless once the project has been rendered. The Render path for this individual project is determined in the Project Settings pane, along with the render dimensions and format. However, COLOR will observe a path change AFTER the render, and edits the XML re-export to try to find the media in the newly named directory. Of course, your media is actually elsewhere, and you get a blank sequence.
    Lastly, make sure that you SAVE the project after renders, to retain the "rendered" clip status -- or COLOR won't remember any of this.
