TS2179 import files from final cut express to idvd
Import files from final cut express to idvd. When we are making a dvd in iDVD importing the files (widescreen mov files ) from final cut express they automatically change to 4x3. They look correct when played in the quicktime player. Has anyone had this problem.
Generally, I just drag the DV file from the finder to the iDVD menu window. Make sure you don't drag it to any Drop Zones, I think that might be your problem with the DV file showing up as the background. If you have default settings in iDVD, this drag and drop should then create submenus based on your chapter markers.
I'm not sure if you have any issues with the Chapters not showing up in QT. If you're expecting them to show up, then make sure that when you do the Export to QT that the option to include Chapter Markers is set. Upon conversion, you should see the Chapters within QT as well as when imported into iDVD.
Hope this helps!

Importing file from final cut express to final cut pro
Hello, I am taking a video I have been working on from final cut express and opening it into final cut pro on another machine. It brings footage over but completely incorrect. I am editing a music video and its basically taking the files and putting them out of sequence etc. When I first open up final cut pro it will say do you want to update this video to the new version which I expected to which I respond yes but its jacked up after that. Any suggestions?

Importing Files into Final Cut Express
I have a technical issue that I hope someone can assist me with...
I recieved 2 harddrives full of video clips that were shot in HD from a video production house. Here is the content on the drives: CARD 1 (folder), inside this folder there are 2 items (CONTENTS & LASTCLIP.txt) in the CONTENT folder are the following folders : AUDIO, CLIP, ICON, PROXY, VIDEO, and VOICE.
My question/dilemma: Can I import these clips into Final Cut Express to edit? I have an older version of Final Cut HD that won't work with these files.
Any and all input will be greatly appreciated.
-GregHELP ! Anybody, please help !
As you can probably guess. I've reached the limit of my "expertise" with your files ....... ".XML" sounds familiar but you will have to hang around for someone else to tell you whether and how they can be used.
One thing I am sure about (I think!) is that the latest version of FCE will be no better than the older one you have. -
Can you transport files from Final Cut Express HD to Final Cut Pro HD?
I have a problem.
While working with Final Cut Express HD my clips were erased leaving me with blank spaces in my sequence. I can't seem to figure out how I can save my movie. I have reloaded the files into Express and even Took everything(file & sequence) to Pro. I am having no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this.
please email me @
[email protected]"my clips were erased leaving me with blank spaces in my sequence"
Re-capture the files and then use the re-connect feature.

From Final Cut Express to iDVD--need some help
I've read through the past threads on this topic and I still can't seem to figure out what's going on.
I'm using the latest FCE and iDVD6. Here's what's going on:
Put in chapter markers like I should in FCE.
Export to Quicktime (not conversion) with all proper options selected.
Video becomes a .dv file (is that Quicktime?) that opens in QT but no chapter markers show up.
Then, I open iDVD and drag the file in, but here's the rub--WHERE DOES IT GO? If I select a theme and drop it in (not in drop zones) it's just a video floating around in the theme main page. No chapters show up in the submenus.
Am I supposed to drop it into a particular place in iDVD? Or do I import it, or go to "Media" and then "Movies" and select it from there? I need to know how to make my chapters show up and how to get the movie where it's supposed to g (like if I was importing from iMovie).
I know this is long, but please help!

Exporting video from Final Cut Express to be put on the internet
Is there a way to export a flash file from Final Cut Express? I have a short video I am trying to put on my web site and I am finding that every format I try people who are using PC's are having trouble opening it. It all links back to Quicktime. Is there a way to not use Quicktime?
It doesn't come with FCE. You need a Flash encoder. There are different ones of varying quality. Flash of course comes with one. Episode has Flash as an add-on. Do a google search for Flash encoders. Many encoders, after they're installed, will work directly from within FCE using the QuickTime Conversion function. There'll be a format option for Flash.

Problem with picture in burned DVD from Final Cut Express quicktime file
I use Final Cut Express HD to edit. On more than one occasion, I have exported a movie using quicktime conversion and then used iDVD to burn it to a DVD. Every time I do this, the DVD's picture is shaky, especially when there is fast motion. I have tried burning with both the best performance and best quality settings in iDVD and it doesn't make a difference. The same problem occured when I tried to use a friend's computer to do the same thing. We both have the new 20" iMacs. I am not sure if it is Final Cut or iDVD that is the problem, but quicktime files that are not from Final Cut Express are not a problem. I have a feeling it is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed. Thanks!
Greetings.
I've personally never used iDVD for any sort of DVD authoring, but the symptoms that you're describing are giving me the impression that there may be an issue with the MPEG 2 encode. Again, I don't know iDVD so you might be better off asking this question in the iDVD forum. -
Exporting a 75 minute film from Final Cut Express (FCE) HD(3.5) through Quick Time Movie is now taking over an hour instead of the 2minutes it used to take. The FCEMovie file is now 14 GB instead of the 1 GB it used to be. In both cases Self Contained was notchecked when exporting. I havetried trashing the Preference file to no avail. There was a message when opening the FCE project that 140render files were offline. Ichecked the box to forget them and also did a Render All Both and Render Only Mixdownbefore exporting. I had thisproblem a few days ago and solved it by reinstalling FCE. However after two days the problem hascome back. As far as I know I didnot change anything in FCE or the system when the export times and file sizeincreased.
I think you are correct about the longer version being a self-contained movie except that I did not check that option when exporting. However, I have opened another project of the same size and that one can be exported in the usual time, the problem must reside with the particular project. A clue is that to regain some disk space I deleted the render folder for several projects including the one I am having trouble with. Also when iI opened that project I got a message that files were disconnected and I think they were render files. I did re-render before exporting and that is when the file length increased by a factor of 13, even though it was not supposed to be self-contained. FCE is working OK with other projects when I export them. I am still puzzled.

I have a .mov file that is 59 gigs. Is there a converter that can reduce the file size with minor resolution loss so I can import it into final cut express?
Open the file in QuickTime Player. Then do Tools > Show Movie Inspector. What does it say for Format and FPS?
At 59GB, I suspect you have either a 4 hour DV video or a 1+ hour video that was converted to Apple Intermediate Codec. If it's either of those, you can import it directly into FCE provided you select the appropriate Easy Setup first. Your clips have to match the properties of the Easy Setup you are using.
If it's neither DV or AIC then you need to convert it to one of those codecs. (QuickTime/DV or QuickTime/AIC) Many people in this forum rely on MPEG Streamclip (it's free and works great). -

Bizarre results importing imovie into final cut express?
I have filmed different interviews which were captured in imovie. I am now trying to import them into final cut express. But when I import one interview called, say, Gavin I get Karen's interview instead. The clip is labelled Gavin but the footsage is from a different interview. No matter who I import I get a completely different project and there is no rhyme nor reason to the footage that opens up.
Basically I get the wrong footage with every clip I open.
Please help before I end up in the loony bin!
Exasperated,
ClareI bought Final cut express just after capturing all my files in imovie (having heard that it was supposed to be easier to cature and trim in imovie before sending the files to fce - is this what you have heard?). If it weren't for a solid week capturing and trimming 40 hours of film I would recapture in fce!!
I have even replaced the captured media within the scratch folder but still it opens the wrong files.
The files are labelled as the interviewees name. All the books say that you can import imovie projects into fce and then render and save as fce files.
I have tried various methods of importing, opening and even dragging a clip straight from imovie into the browser of fce - which works but opens an original untrimmed version rather than the short trimmed version and again it will be an interview of the wrong person.
I have since been turning the imovie files into .mov files and opening them in fce - this seems to work but hope there is no change to quality.
Would this be the way to go? I would so appreciate an answer!
Thanks -
Is it possible to make an MPEG-2 from Final Cut Express ?
I need to make an MPEG-2 file, exported from Final Cut Express 4. But I don't see an option for it.
Which type of MPEG-2 file?
There are three common types, each with their own variants:
Elementary Stream (.m2v) - contains video only; no audio. Commonly used by DVD authoring applications prior to multiplexing (muxing) with a separate audio file.
Transport Stream (.mts or .m2t) - muxed video and audio. Commonly used for tranferring broadcast quality video over a network.
Program Stream (.mpg or .mpeg) - muxed audio and video. Commonly used for automated server based playback.
At one time QuickTime Pro included an MPEG-2 encoder, but I believe Apple removed that option with the introduction of Compressor. Other apps for encoding include: Sorenson Squeeze, Cleaner and Episode ... to name a few.

Transferring From Final Cut Express to Pro
Hey! I am looking to upgrade from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro. I have a present project in Express and plan to finish it shortly. However, can I take this file from Express and finish editing it in Final Cut Pro?
Thank you!It has been reported that FCE projects will open in FCP. It does not work in the reverse direction, once the project is in FCP, FCE will not open it.

Exporting HD Video From Final Cut Express HD
When attempting to export HD video from Final Cut Express using "uncompressed" setting, I notice that the output quality seems to be limited to "medium." If no compression is used, wouldn't that imply that the video quality should equal original footage?
All FCE Timelines are using the AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) for HD stuff if you selected the correct Easy Setup before you started your Project.
If you export as a Quicktime Movie then you are getting exactly the same export quality as the Timeline.
The Quicktime Movie can be either Self-Contained or a Reference file. Reference Files are great because they use/reference you exisating captured files on your Scratch Disc, use less space and export fast.
However if you need to play the export somewhere other than your Mac your will require the file to be Self-Contained.
QuickTime Conversion does just that, Converts to whatever you select.
