Sending FCP project to STP

I have a FCP project I want to send to STP but the options to do that are grayed out when I go to send to: I'm sure it's simple. . .can anyone offer help?
Thanks

Someone may have a different solution but for me whenever I've seen this I re-install FCS2 then I have no problems.
You may want to use FCS Remover

Sending FCP subclip to STP without sending the master clip!

I have a bunch of subclips I want to clean up in STP, but no matter what I've tried so far, I can't get it to just send the subclip, not the entire masterclip.
Any suggestions?

Allow me to advise and seek help in same breath. My clip (with selection linked) cannot be send as STP as 'audio file' as it is greyed out but instead only as 'multitrack project'. Any reason why?
However each audio channel can be send to STP as an audio file individually (when selection is unlinked) and not both (shift selected) together. When one,
usually top channel, is 'send to' as audio file and saved (as . stap file), edited, and saved again, when back in FCP there is only that audio clip available, the other has disappeared. But it play the corrections but sounds weird (I guess
as the other channel is missing).
I am doing something wrong here? and what??

Sending fcp audio to stp

using fcp 6 and am unable to send audio files to sound track. stp audio file project and multitrack project are grayed out and don't go black when i control click the audio track. any suggestions?

Here's exactly what I do. Select a clip in the timeline, control click and choose send to: soundtrack pro audio file project.
When you do this, what happens?
What are your audio clip settings? Could be a problem I suppose with a non fcp friendly format. It should be 48k 16bit aiff.

Can you send FCP project files through email?

If all of a projects original capture footage is copied to another hard drive and then opened with the copied saved project file on another computer, will the "new" copied project work correctly?
Can you send project files back and forth through email if your both working with the same exact copied footage?

I use iChat to send project files. I've even used it to send a missing media file here and there (overnight, of course). < </div>
iChat is tremendously under-used and misunderstood application. Being able to transfer h-u-g-e files without FTP, connecting to a server, connecting to the target Shared folder or drop box or stooping to the hassles of email is only one fascinating aspect of this cool little tool.
The Macintosh OS is full of such things.

Problem in sending multitrack project back to FCP

I want to be able to import a multitrack project back into FCP, with the most editability in FCP, but the only way I have found to do this is to export tracks and then find then in the browser and drag them into my FCP project. Is their an easier way to do this?

Pretty much . . . no. This is a feature I'm sure MANY would appreciate, the ability for STP to export a multi track project one could simply import in to FCP. As of right now, you can't.

Selecting a FCP Project to Export Mix To ....

HI
When Exporting a STP Mutlitrack Mix Back to FCP (File/Export/ Master Mix with Send to FCP picked) FCP Launches and a Dialog Opens with a "Destination" drop down. Am I meant to be able to see / navigate to a FCP Project File from here? Seems like a should be able to, but all I get is an option to Create New Project... not what I want.
Sure, if FCP is already open with the correct Project the Destination box shows the project and the Export proceeds. Or If I cancel the whole thing and Import the XML document into the FCP after opening the Destination Project , my mix ends up in the right place.
But what's the point of the "Destination" fileld if it doesn't allow me to set one?
What am I missing here?
Thanks
Lee
BTW : STP 3.01, FCP 7.0.3

The destination dialog is where you save the mix file and xml file to disc. You will select which FCP >project to open it in once FCP opens.
Yes ... you are right. It's the Dialog in FCP I'm talking about ... STP doesn't remember the Project it came from on the return trip unless FCP has it open already. I guess technically it's an FCP issue (?) since that Dialog doesn't appear until FCP launches.... but I think STP should know what thew project file was called... and the Project Destination field be able to navigate to it.
Workflow that's all. There's workarounds, but I wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything.

Export FCP project and linked media assets

Sorry everyone, I know this is an easy question but I have searched for the answer and am still very confused. I want to save my FCP project and just the appropriate used media assets in one place so I can send a condensed version of my entire project to someone to further edit. I know there is an easy way to do this because I have done this before, but I can't remember.
I was confused because I found a number of answers but some of them talked about how afterwards the media files will no longer be able to be tracked by the Final Cut Server? This is what scared me.

Use FCP's Media Manager to duplicate the project media. Be sure to include handles if needed.

Failed to send my project in final cut pro to compressor

I tried to send my project in final cut pro to compressor but when I go to file then see send to compressor it will not let me click on "send to compressor". I checked but none of my files are missing or anything and the project is only 4 minutes long. This has happened to me once before and it completely crashed my computer. I had to start out fresh which was a horrible process. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP?! (URGENT)What might I have done wrong that this happens? In the picture below, this happens and I have no idea why that is.

I suspect it's a FCP X issue rather than a Compressor issue.
Will FCP export a master file? Make a short section with the range tool and find out.
Tri reseting the zoo's preferences. Hold down the option and command keys when you launch to reset.

I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

Anthony, thank you very much - this works, though I thought I had tried your process previously without success. I've tried so many things who knows. I've had zero luck going with the Send to Compressor or Export Using Compressor Settings under the Share menu. I'm also finding Compressor 4 to be a real dog on my system even though I have a brand new quad core machine with 8G of RAM. Prior to receiving your post I did come up with a different work process. Using Export Movie from FCP X and then loading the result in Compressor 3 works flawlessly. Thanks again!

Using Final Cut Express to edit an FCP project?

Is it possible to export FCP projects in a way that they can still be edited with Express?

The project comes from FCP 6.0.1 and I have FCE 4.0. Opening the project file doesn't work, and I tried exporting to XML, and it finds the media, but doesn't know how to create the sequence.
I can send more specific error messages if you need them.
(Also, I notice that iMovie write v1 of the XML, and FCP is up to v4.)

How do you share non-networked FCP project?

Hello
I searched and couldn't find a discussion on this; so, sorry if there is one.
I recently completed loading multiple clips into an FCP7 project. A concert. All synced and set up for multi-cam edit. I copied the project file, the source files and exact FCP file structure to a GTECH mini drive - 7200RPM -- and gave it to some students to edit. The project opened fine and they are at work.
I am several hundred miles from the students, however. Normally, when working with associates that live nearby, they just give me back the GTECH drive, and I can check the in-progress work easily. For this situation, I was going to have the students email me back the FCP Project icon only; since I have the same exact file structure on an external hard drive, I thought this would work since they are not doing rendering, just edit cuts. The FCP project icon will point to the same files the students use; same locations etc...
My questions are: 1) Will FCP multi-cam edit cuts produce cache files that I need? Or any other files? Just trying to minimize what they send via email. 2) Is there a better way to share an FCP project with another remote user?
Thanks
Phil

If the drive you are using has the same name and file structure as the drive they are using you won't have to do anything, should open right up (except for render files of course). This is the best way.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

FCP Project won't open in new version

I want to work on an old FCP project I haven't touched in years. I have all the files but not the application any longer (was FCP from 2004). I downloaded the new FCPX trial version but it won't recognize the older files. Do i need an older FCP version?

Depending on what you need to accomplish with this old project, don't discount the possibility of importing a flattened Quick Time movie and working with it in FCPX. Not ideal, but perhaps acceptable.
It seems like a waste to pay the considerable amount pf money that getting either Final Cut Studio 3 or 2 would presently require. (If you go to Amazon, you'll find new sets of FCS3 selling for premiums ranging from $300 to nearly $1,000 above the original price; used sets are selling for nearly as much as the original price.)
The apps in these suites were great for their times, but it's been well over four years since they recieved a refresh. Many who own them (myself included) continue to use them and expect to continue to do so on operating systems like Snow Leoppard for some time. But sooner or later, a new OS version will break them as will the dereasing cability to handle new formats.
Good luck.

How do I import old FCP projects that have mysteriously changed to Linux Executable files? Is it as simple as renaming the files with the.fcp extension?

I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish. I was able to grab everything, media, etc. to my macbook pro but all of the Final Cut Pro actual movies/projects have turned into "linux executable files" that FCP X won't import.
I tried googling this issue but didn't really see any good answers. Would it be as simple as renaming the files with the .fcp extension? I can't recall if my old version (really old) of FCP saves projects as .mov or .fcp files, but I'm assuming I'm not the only person this has happened to.
Thanks for your help!

I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish.
What version of FCP was this? The project files can probably no longer be opened in the newer version of the OS. You could try adding the .fcp suffix, but I don't think it will help for this. Projects files are .fcp.
Regardless of the version, no legacy FCP projects will import into FCPX.
Media is a different matter. These are probably QuickTime .mov files. If these are appearing as Unix ececutables, they're probably not recoverable either.
