There is no video preview when using a Final Cut Pro X project as my source.

When I send my FCPX project to Compressor 4 there is no video preview in the preview window. I have the source selected from the dropdown preview settings but the screen is black with no sound, even though the timecode is correct. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

If you export (command e) as a QT movie, then bring that into Compressor as the source file, can you preview it?

  • Can I use my Final Cut Pro 6 project in FCP X?

    Hi, I've been editing a short factual on Final Cut Pro 6 as this is the version that I learned FC on, the edit is nearly done and all that's left is to add graphics such as lower thirds and titles.
    I've been told that FCP X has a much better set of templates for this so was hoping that I could use my FCP 6 project in FCP X. Can I do this? If I can't directly use the project is there some kind of work-around that I could use?

  • Copying a video from Youtube to use in Final Cut Pro

    I have an old final cut pro that I us for charities and non-profits I think it is version 5.1.7.  I have never had the money to upgrade and now I do not have any disk or material for the program, only what is on my system.  Now the question.  I have a charity that has ask me to pull a video off of Youtube that they cannot find the original.  What is the best way to copy the video from Youtube and download it to my desktop and get the best quality to use in final cut pro.  Thanks for your help.

    Just use OSX:
    Command - Shift - 3 will take a full screen snapshot
    Command - Shift - 4 will let you draw a rectangle around the portion of screen you want to copy
    Command - Control - Shift - 3 will copy the full screen to the clipboard (to be pasted in another app)
    Command - Control - Shift - 4 will copy a selectable portion of the screen to the clipboard
    Preview is set up to receive clipboard images — just select New from Clipboard from the File menu (or command - N). You can then export in a variety of formats.
    Most browsers let you right click on an image and select Save Image As... to any location on your hard drive.

  • "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 i opened final cut pro x, EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETELY GONE, i had about 4 years worth of footage and editing what do i do please help!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    when i opened final cut pro x, everything was gone.

    so this means that all my work isn't completely gone?
    Your work will still be there, you just have to go through Updating your older pre 10.1. stuff to the new Library model way of doing things.
    Follow Tom's suggestions to the letter and things should go smoothly.

  • How can I export a file that may use in Final Cut Pro?

    Hello friends,
    May I know how to export a file that I can use it Final Cut Pro???

    If you are talking about rendering then just use any production codec that FCP supports. You have access to them all. Use the Render Cue or create a custom preset in the Adobe Media Encoder.
    If you want to do something like dynamic link with FCP, that does not exist. You can save a PPro project as a FCP XML but any PPro effects or PPro settings unique to PPro will not come across. If you turn an After Effects project into a FCP project by going through PPro as was suggested then you will NOT get any of the effects you applied to your composition or any of the animation or anything but the footage In and Out points, opacity, rotation and position because that is all that will be moved into PPro because After Effects plug-ins are not compatible with PPro. If there is a dynamic link to an AE project in your PPro project that will not move to FCP at all. You'll get nothing.
    So the long and short of it is if you want the work that you have done in AE to show up in FCP you must render the project. I use ProRez 444 10 bit for any work I do on FCP. You can make a custom Output Module preset to help speed up the workflow.
    If you are new to AE please read this on rendering: After Effects Help | Basics of rendering and exporting
    If you are really new please go through these three tutorials: Basic Workflow

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
    I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

  • What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder        for use on Final Cut Pro X?

    What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts  files for use with Final Cut Pro?

    This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
    If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
    Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
    I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
    Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
    Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

  • When you uninstall final cut pro does your projects delete too

    When you uninstall final cut pro does your projects delete too

    No, only the app is removed.
    The Events and Projects are completely untouched and ready to use when you reinstall or update FCP X.
    To uninstall simply drag the FCP X application icon to the trash and delete it.

    Perhaps Kaz-k can say for sure what's involved in upgrading from 5.0 to 5,1. If not, I suggest you re-post that question in the Final Cut Studio forum. I'm sure that some of the contributors there have first hand experience with the process of that specific upgrade.
