Transfer a final cut pro project to another computer

I would like to take an entire project and open it on another computer (final cut pro). It's a 30-second spot, so there's not a lot of content, but I'm not sure how to go about saving all the pertinent files to DVD. What files do I need to copy to ensure it makes it to its destination without forgetting something...?
Thank you in advance

First you'll need your FCP project file. The other computer will need to be running the EXACT same version if you want to swap back and forth. Then gather all your assets like video, photos, graphics and re-link these in your new project.
Or you could try media manager. I have good luck with it, others do not. Both methods pretty simple once you've done it. Good luck,

  • How can I transfer my Final Cut X Project to another computer?

    I'm using Final Cut Pro X 10.1.3 and I can't find how to transfer my project. I want to do this because my laptop is slower than my Desktop iMac and I want to continue editing it on there. "Duplicate Project" no longer works the way it used to, and "Move Project" only moves it between libraries on the computer.

    Copy the library and the media to a portable drive and take that to the other machine.

    How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

    As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
    In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.

  • Can you transfer final cut pro x to another computer with the same apple account?

    I want to get Final Cut Pro X right away so I can start editing videos for my youtube channel, but I'm am also planning to get a Macbook Pro for school this year. Is it possible for me to buy & use Final Cut Pro X on my current macbook now, and then later copy and/or transfer the application to my new computer? Both computers would be run by the same apple account. Thanks! Please reply.

    Hello There,
    I'm not sure of how many in total you can have, but you can have FCPX on both your computers you just can't use them at the same time.

  • How to save Final Cut Pro project to an ftp server to then open on a different computer

    Hello, I work for a graphic design firm that also does video production for businesses. We are using Final Cut Pro X in our office which has an FTP server connected to all office computers.
    What we want is to be able to have on employee start a project in Final Cut Pro X, save it to the server; then have another employee open up the same project and continue working from a different computer.
    Right now, we have a lot of our Final Cut files saved to the server, and the files will show up in the server on the other employee's machine. BUT, we scroll in the server to the file for the Final Cut Pro project on the other computer, and the file is grayed out, unable to be opened on the new computer.
    I've tried right clicking and choosing "open with Final Cut" and Final Cut does then open, but right before it opens the project within Final Cut, a message comes up saying "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro," which of course, I see no way to do that from within Final Cut Pro.
    I've also called Apple Care, they reminded me that we can't have one project open on two computers at the same time, and that's fine. We are willing to close the project on computer one to then open on computer two.
    If you have an answer let me know. We don't want to have to load onto an external hard drive to then load onto the other machine, especially since we have a server ready to go.
    Thanks for your help.

    You can share projects via the ftp server, but you need to:
    1) Have all the media in identical events on each editor's machine;
    2) Set up the project  and share the entire folder for that project first;
    3) Afterwards, you can share just the project file itself
    You CANNOT work directly on projects and events stored in the ftp server.

  • Can't Update Old Final Cut Pro Projects

    I use Final Cut Pro for work and just recently updated. I didn't realize that I needed to have all my projects in my "Final Cut Pro Projects" file while updating. I had a lot of my projects in a "Final Cut Pro Projects-Not In Use" file when I updated my Final Cut Pro and now those projects will not update. I didn't have a "Final Cut Pro Projects" file after updating so I created a new one under "Movies" in my Finder and added all the projects to that and Final Cut Pro still won't update them. What am I doing wrong?
    Also, now that I've updated the projects are exporting as .MP4s and my boss wants them as .MOVs again. Is there a way I can change them to that?

    I have been trying to add a screen shot to this reply for the past ten minutes but I keep getting "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again" So I will try to explain it to you.
    I click the arow on the bottom right hand corner. Then click "Master File..."
    My settings are:
    Format: Computer
    Video codec: H.264 Better Quality
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080
    Audio file format: QuickTime Movie (AAC)
    (don't click Include chapter markers)
    Open with: QuicTime Player (default)
    On the bottom it reads left to right:
    1920 x 1080 | 23.98 fbs   Stereo (L R) | 48 kHz  00:00:04:02   MPEG-4 movie 10.4 MB est.
    Then I click "Next..." and save it to my Desktop and click "Save"
    I hope that makes sence! Sorry the screen shots didn't work!

    I did that already it it only burned one section of the project. How do I export a master file? Can i just save it on the computer then take it to IDVD? Thank you so much for helping me!

Feeling truly frustrated!
    What version is the trial? Is that a 10.0.*?
    What version is the purchased version?

  • Converting a Final Cut Pro project into one Final Cut Express HD can read..

    Is there any way I can convert a final cut pro project into something i can open in an earlier version of final cut, namely final cut express HD?

    Tim,
    Unfortunately you can not go from FCP to FCExpress. You can go backwards from say FCP7 to FCP6 or FCP 5 using XML's. The XML version depends on which FCP you have.

    How do you import final cut pro projects into imovie?

    Hi -
    Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
    If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
    In FCP:
    Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
    Close FCP and open iMovie.
    In iMovie:
    Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
    Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
    Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't not transfer files in 'log and transfer' of Final Cut Pro. I recorded it in SD card using Nikon D7000 and JVC GY-HM100U.

    I can't not transfer files in 'log and transfer' of Final Cut Pro. I recorded it in SD card using Nikon D7000 and JVC GY-HM100U.
    I think I need plug-in.  Please let me know.  Thank you.

    Well, the Nikon D7000 footage cannot be logged and transferred.  There is no plugin for that like there is for the Canon cameras. Nikon never developed one.  So the footage from that camera will need to be converted with Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP.
    The JVC should work...what version of FCP are you on?

  • Open Final Cut Pro project in Logic Pro for audio editing

    I want to open a Final Cut Pro project i'm working on into Logic Pro without having to export my large FCP projects to video all the time. Is there any way of doing this?

    Thanks for replying to my question, I did mean Logic Pro but I'm relatively new to these programs. What's the difference with Soundtrack Pro and Logic Pro exactly? If I understood you correctly, Logic Pro would be the program I need since I need to create audio from scratch. Just to be more clear again, I want to see my video while composing audio at the same time but without having to export my video all the time since it takes long, being a big file. Thanks again for the reply.

  • Showing a Final Cut Pro project to an audience - from Final Cut or Quicktime?

    I've created a 13 min Final Cut Pro project to show at an Awards Ceremony of our college.  Is it better to show the video directly from Final Cut or to export it and show it from Quicktime?  What's the best quality output?

    hi,
    its not about quality. Since you can export out at the same quality as prorez. Its about performance. Since fcpx has to combine multiple sources, audio, graphix, video etc, then combine them al into a whole, there is far more that could go wrong. Always export out a finished mastered rendered file and play that. Just make sure that the computer playing the file back can handle it. ie if you chose an uncompressed codec to export out as, the computer may not like playing it back. Choose a prorez or h264 codec, they will be fine.

  • Importing Final Cut Pro Projects

    I know this might be a very silly question but -- when watching the tutorial for DVD Studio pro5, they imported a Motion Project that had not been rendered, it in turn got rendered when burning it to DVD. Is this possible with Final Cut Pro Projects?? Can I take a project or sequence and import it into DVD Studio without rendering or exporting it??
    In other words can DVD Studio use the Final Cut Pro Project just as a reference as it does with Motion or does it need to be one file??
    Anyone out there who can help me please?? Thank-you

    You cannot import FCP project. Just mov files, or m2v files. I believe only Motion works as you said.
