Tried to use PixelMator as default external editor but iPhoto has only final cut pro as external editor and won't let me change?

I tried to set up Pixelmator as external iPhoto editor bot only option in Preferences> advanced> edit photos is iPhoto or Final Cut Pro?

You have previously set FCP as the external, editor - in the iPhoto preferences select FCP again and a window will open for you to find and select Pixelmator - if that a photo editor ?

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...

    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud

  • How to use Final Cut pro with external hard drive?

    I have too little space on my computer so I have to use final cut pro x with an external hard drive, but whenever I have the hard drive plugged in and Final cut going, my computer goes very slow. I just upgraded to 16gb ram... but can't seem to run FCP x while an external hard drive is plugged in. FCP just freezes up and I have to force quit.

    all the files and events in final cut are still on my internal, so my internal drive is still full.... Do I have to go and delete everything off my internal?
    In addition to the excellent advice to keep your media on an external HDD, you need to make sure that your system (boot) drive has a decent amount of free space if you want to have a satisfactory editing experience. Many people recommend not going below 20% free space. That's especially so for the boot drive, but as you fill up the external, its performance will also slow. Ideally, we would have separate media and backup drives,
    You don't need to "delete everything". Rather, you first figure out what needs to be moved. You copy those files to the other drive and then verify that all the files you copied are in two locations. At that point you can delete those files from your boot drive.
    Good luck.

  • Can I download final cut pro X trial version and use final cut pro 7 during and after the trial period ?

    My company uses Final cut pro 7 and I have to know if we can try Final cut pro X on one of our G5 and, in the case of we can't switch to FCPX, if we can use FCP7 again without re-initialise it. Thanks
    sorry for my english. it's not my maternal language.

    You cannot use FCPX on a G5. It's Intel only.

  • Mail: unable to connect to my SMPT server? Also new Mail Account defaults to iMap and won't let me change to Pop?

    Dear All,
    I've been with the same UK internet and email provider for years and they've given me solid and reliable service. I've worked my way through the Apple Knowledgebase checklist and tests and proved that my isp/esp is working normally so the problem has to be with Mail.
    I fiddled about trying to create a Mail Account on my late 2011 but-new-to-me MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and, it might be completely unrelated and simply a coincidence, but since then none of my devices, Iphone 4S, Powerbook G4, iPhone 3G, the MBPro can send email using Mail.
    Whenever I try I get prompted for my password but when I enter it says it's wrong but it definitely isn't because I even changed it this morning through my isp/esp and it worked and I then changed it back again to my correct password and it works also to get into webmail that is, not via Mail.
    When I run Mail\Window\Connection Doctor and check the status it shows Mail is unable to connect to server but that it can connect to the internet. I get the following message: Trying to log in to SMPT account failed.  Try to verify that username and password are correct.
    Now, whenever I try to create a new email account on MacBook Pro Mail keeps defaulting to iMap and wont let me change it to Pop which is what I need.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Dear All,
    I'll finish off this thread in case it's of use to anyone else in the future.
    I couldn't get the email pop account to recognise my sign-in even though I've been using it continually and without problem for the last several years. It's always been BT and Yahoo so it's more likely to be the fiddle about I did on my temporary, pre migration user account that caused the hiccup.
    In th end I had to create another pop account which I was able to once I'd migrated my settings from my PB G4 to the MB Pro.  Unfortunately this didn't merge the numerous email folders that I'd created previously in Mail but I still have them on the PB and I believe they can be transferred manually which is what I will do.
    Thanks for everyone that took the time to help.

  • How to "Move" final cut pro to external drive.  When I drag it duplicates the application. can I just delete the application on the MacBook?

    I want to "Move" Application Final Cut X Pro to my external hard drive but when I drag it only copies it.  Can I delete it from the hard drive now.

  • ICloud has the wrong I'd and keeps coming on my screen and won't let me change it this is an iPhone 5c and I can't use the phone

    MMy iPhone has the wrong I'd in the iCloud settting and it keeps coming on and asking for a pass word that doesn't exist and neither does the id    So what to do to get rid of it because I can't use my phone! It won't let me do anything

    If so, go to id.apple.com, manage apple id, sign in with current id, edit email back to the one showing in icloud settings. You can now sign out of icloud with your current password. Then back to id.apple.com, change your email back to the current one, verify it and sign back in to icloud.

  • Final Cut Pro to Flash  -- Inserting and Using Cue Points

    I want to export a flash video using File - Export - Using Quick Time Conversion and selecting Flash. Under options for Flash, I see something about "Cue Points".
    My assumption is that these would be points that you can insert that are similar to chapter markers and that you could have the Flash player on a web page jump back and forth between them.
    Does anyone know of any documentation on inserting these points in Final Cut export? I couldn't figure it out. It looks like you give them a name and a timecode. I could not enter the timecode.
    How about over on the player side? I assume some sort ActionScript in Flash is required. Has anyone seen a simple example/tutorial of these capabilities?

    Apart from disabling time machine, iCal and any other programs or applications from taking focus. Time machine and software updates can certainly be told not to try as far as I recall.

  • Possible to use MIGRATION to move Final Cut Pro to external HD w/OS ?

    MBP=Tiger and working FCP Studio.
    Just wondering if it would be possible to use migration assistant or some other third party application (since it is the same computer) to my bootable Leopard external HD in order for me to see how well it works without re-installing all the programs again.
    Thanks.
    PS. How many machines can you install it on and is there a sheet that shows the difference between FCP Studio and Express? Does express come with all the programs and demos?
    Next purchase after the HD 120hz refresh TV (Lord willing) is a Mac Pro - just read that there is software out there to make a stock 2.8 run faster than the 3.2, not sure I would do.
    Thanks again.

    Well it looks like it will work and it won't.
    Apparently, you have to SELECT all applications which then by default, selects your library and I don't have enough room.
    Was hoping that I could just choose ONE application, FCP and get used to it in Leopard. I don't suppose there is a 3rd party product that will allow me to do this. Why doesn't  allow us to manually select WHICH application(s) we want to move.
    Surely there has to be another way instead of installing all of the DVD's again. This is a nightmare.
    Appreciate any ideas. Otherwise its install all the DVD's, or CLONE OS to a NEW HD and start from there - glad I did as I have two clones of Leopard ,one 10.5.3, the other 10.5.2 and I tested 10.5.4 and yikes, it had major GU problems with redraw and lost some points overall in XBENCH.
    Am sure they can fix that easy - should be mostly for windows users and imobileme (LOL).
    Any help in transferring FCP to external appreciated via 3rd party program or individual application select.

  • My Final Cut Pro X quits unexpectantly and shuts down which makes it impossible to use..need help asap

    Went I went to grab some pictures that I had downloaded from the web, FCP X shut down and sent a message to APPLE.  I have tried deleting the pics and this morning it was working for a little while but it shut down again.  I need to get FCP working properly. 

    Same thing happened to me yesterday. It started after there was a sudden electricity shut off when I was playing with FCP X. I do not have Compressor installed. I eventually managed to get FCPX to work again when I manually deleted in Finder the project on which I was working when the electricity went off.
    I hope this information may give you some ideas on your problem.

  • Firfox 4 seems to have Yahoo! as the default search engine and won't let me change this to Google or any other. Is this a flaw in the system??

    What more info do you need? I just can't get Firefox 4 to let me change my search engine to Google and there's nowhere in the tools menu to help.
    Also, Firefox is a lot slower to load than, say Safari or Chrome. Do you have a good excuse for this??

  • Practicing using Final Cut Pro only on iBook via External Drive. Possible?

    Before upgrading to a more powerful system I'd like to install FCS2 on an external drive and practice using only Final Cut Pro on my iBook (ok to laugh) My iBook specs: G4, 14", 1.42GHz, 1GB RAM, 10.4.9, 1024x768 display, 60GB. I do not plan on playing around with the other programs that are included in the suite. ie. Motion and Soundtrack pro etc. (They most likely would not work on my lil iBook.) I know in principle you are not supposed to put software on an external drive but I'm wondering if this temporary setup is even viable. I plan on using this set up for a couple months as I make my way through BASIC Final Cut Pro tutorials and to do a small practice run with a 5 minute miniDV project. I need time (about two months) to cobble money together before I upgrade to a more powerful system. Is this even possible? If so, what capacity/brand external drive should I be considering? I will also be using the external drive for media after I upgrade my system. Thanks to everyone. These posts are extremely helpful.

    hi there
    you wont be able to install FCP to the external HDD as it wont let you, it has to be installed to the actual HDD in the machine as it uses the core system, core video, core animation, and core sound to work, you can install all the extra content on a ext HDD but not the actual application.
    hope this helps
