Uploading a FCP project to iPod

I'm wanting to put a small FCP project onto my 30G. iPod. Can this be done? If so, how?

Export your timeline using Quicktime Movie, and choose REF MOVIE in the options.
Open that movie up in Quicktime. Go FILE>EXPORT. In the options there is MOVIE to IPOD.

  • How can I upload my FCP project in high quality on youtube?

    Ok so I finished a 4 minute project on Final Cut Pro and it's perfect. But when I bring it out of FCP the quality fails completely. The video is blurry. Even the music sounds terrible. This happens when I export through share masterfile even though it's 4 GB
    I'm trying to put it on youtube. What's the best way of doing it?

    Don't share directly to YouTube. YouTube has bandwidth limit requirements and I'm pretty sure FCPX is trying to upload its usual high quality H.264 video. If you upload a video to YT at a higher quality than they allow, they will re-encode the video for you to fit their requirements. Their encoders are not as good as the ones you have available on your mac... and... they don't care.  The only exception is for creators with enterprise quality internet connections, in which case, youtube will take what FCPX feeds it.
    Use Compressor, or Quicktime 7 Pro to transcode your "master" export out of FCPX (I'll usually just use ProRes 422 LT).
    You need to encode the video with H.264. (Using QT7Pro:) if the video is 1080, then you need to set the Data Rate to 8 Mbps (Restrict to 8000 Kbps); Keyframes Automatic; Frame Reordering off; Optimized for Streaming; Best Quality (Multi-pass Encoding).  Audio: format AAC; Rate 48kHz; (I use) Variable Bit Rate encoding with a sampling rate of 192kbps (typically - anything from 128 to 384). The last step you have to set up: Prepare for Internet Streaming: Fast Start.  As a matter of habit (since this step seemed to make a difference a couple of years ago) I'll go into the Size options and check the Preserve Aspect Ratio by using: option and select Letterbox from the options. [I prefer using QT7Pro because there are less things to screw up. I've never had *satisfactory* success with Compressor — I'm always getting into things that complicate the procedure.]
    Anyway, if you get the numbers under the limit, the upload to youtube is faster, it's "ready" right away (almost as soon as it's uploaded) and you'll get at least what you expect to get (what you see before uploading.) Compressing some types of video (usually high contrast/high action) down to 8Mbps is going to cause problems you'll just have to live with.
    YouTube has an encoding requirements guide here:
    https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en
    but it's for PC people... you do not need the .mp4 container, .mov is just fine (been using it for years).

  • Upload FCP Projects and Associated Media to a Production

    Hi,
    This sounds very silly but I`m really disappointed and can`t figured out how to do it.
    Is there a way to upload a *.fcp project and associate NOT ONLY the project but ALSO the Media that this project contains?
    In other words, if I upload a FCP project and choose a Production to be associated the production is created but ONLY the FCP Project Asset is inside this production, not the whole medias.
    A scan production (for the FCP file) also doesn`t work.
    What works is uploading all media and associating to a production or do a Scan production into a directory with medias. But my FCP and Medias are in distinct places and a thought that FCP project could help me cleaning the Media directories (by uploading the project and after all medias are catalogued archiving them, so the rest in directories are useless).
    The work around would be:
    1- to do a Scan Production in the Media files and after that uploading a FCP project associating with that Production, but as I`ve said I can`t just scan the entire Media as it`s very messy and with this way I could be guaranteed that my important assets are catalogued (and archived) and the left ones in the messy directories could be quick filtered to exclusion and cleaning without worries.
    2- to upload a FCP and associate to a production and after that manually move fcp associated assets to this production (this almost impossible because the limitation of 200 assets per page).
    Can some one propose a better way?
    Regards

    No, you are correct, but unfortunately these are Elements (inside the FCP project) and not real Assets. So for instance, if you fill in the annotations on the Asset it will not show on the Elements (inside FCP projects) and vice-versa. You can`t do a lot of other things as well with elements as you can with assets.
    So I would like to have a Production with all media created automatically when a FCP project is uploaded (or scanned).
    Regards

  • Additional videofiles in FCP project not uploaded to FCSVR

    I have a strange problem when I try to upload a FCP project file into Final Cut Server. If the project has videofiles that aren't yet in Final Cut Server the're not uploaded as assets. Instead when I open the project in Final Cut Server I see an unlinked media asset. I can't remember I've had this problem before.
    Running FCP 6.05 & Final Cut Server 1.1.1

    Is your server logged in as the admin account used to install FCS? A bit strange I know, but that was my problem. Once I kept my server logged in as the admin account, it was golden.

  • FCP Project Files are all "invalid format?"

    I tried uploading many FCP Project Files with no success. All Project Files run fine in Final Cut Pro.
    Once the upload process begins, the "Jobs in Progress" status spins for about a minute or so. At this point a red exclamation point appears, then a popup window that states:
    "Unable to Analyze Project ... Invalid Format."
    The project file makes it's way into FC Server as a listed asset, however when I choose to "get Info" and do a Search for the associated project files, nothing shows up. The manual mentions or recommends to use file extensions, and I have.
    I read Final Cut Server is supposed to automatically recognize all FCP Project file's associated media. In fact they don't need to be packaged in a folder, etc.
    Lastly I created a brand new FCP Project with a single video clip and a single audio clip after I installed the new ProApps Update. Still no luck.
    Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
    Thanks.
    -paul.

    Paul:
    I experience the exact same issue, yesterday and thought that after Apple released the following update
    http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Studio_2.0rn/
    that things may work, but they still dont.
    My guess, is that there may be a version update to Final Cut 6.0.3 to maybe Final Cut 6.5 or something that will allow this direct integration with Final Cut Server. However, note, I was able to success import Final Cut Project exported as Final Cut XML files. I tried this because this was traditionally how it work when FCServer was the Artbox product. My guess is because the Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Server engineers in Apple really don't speak direct to each other, FCServer was realeased with this bug.

  • FCP Project import creates duplicates of existing assets

    I posed another question similar to this in Sept but had to go into the field for a couple month.
    I have set up my Media device as an edit in place device (device type is Filesystem). Mac URI file://localhost/Volumes/MyDisk/PRODUCTION MEDIA/Media/
    I put directories and subdirectories in this device and scanned it to add the files into FCS as assets.
    I now upload a FCP Project file from another computer (FCSTST.fcp).
    I set my target device as the edit-in-place device.
    This project file references two files that exist on the same disk as the original .fcp file.
    These files also exist in the edit in place device.
    When the Project file uploads, it adds files to the edit-in-place device and adds a new asset to the catalogue for each of the files.
    My understanding is that FCS should recognize that these files exist as assets within the FCS catalogue and link to those files, not add the files to the edit-in-place device and a new asset to the catalogue that is a duplicate of the original asset.
    Most other people seem to have problems getting linked files into the system. I'm having problems with too many.

    also found this from the manual. Not an exact answer but hints at this:
    • Final Cut Pro project files include the file paths to the project’s media. Final Cut Server locates the project’s media using the file paths stored in the Final Cut Pro project file. An issue can occur if the Final Cut Pro project and its media have been moved from their original location to a device that has a scan or copy response configured to automatically upload new files to the Final Cut Server catalog. In this case, the file paths stored in the Final Cut Pro project no longer match where the media actually is located. You can correct this by opening the project in Final Cut Pro after it has been moved, reconnecting the media files (this may not be necessary; in some cases Final Cut Pro may be able to resolve the file paths on its own), and saving the project before using an automation to add the files to the Final Cut Server catalog.

  • FCP Project closes and Compressor only gives black render

    hi
    apologies if this has been covered, my extensive search of about 10 seconds found nothing.
    Recently on certain projects when i try to export via compressor two things happen. Firstly the rendered file is made up of black only, audio is fine though. And secondly the fcp project closes itself, leaving only the temp project open, that creates itself when you export via compressor. The one sequence in this temp project is the one i want to export and it plays fine in the timeline. Of course this is annoying since the project closes itself without asking if you want to save.
    I do have some odd footage in the project. It came from some dodgy video camera device, but I had converted them to dv specs. Mind you none of these clips are in the sequence in question.
    any ideas anyone
    thanks
    adam

    exporting to compressor directly from FCP will re-process all your rendered material, so if your sequence has lots of filters, generators, stills or non-native clips, this can greatly add to the time it takes.
    Also, exporting video for iPod most likely involves changing the frame size and frame rate, and possibly pixel aspect ratio (are those files square pixel?) Depending on the frame Controls settings for the preset you are using, this can make it take a lot longer.

  • FCP Project Import

    FCP Project Files do not import at all! My scenario is as follows:
    I create a Final Cut Pro Project file (.fcp) and try to upload it into FCSVR by dragging the file into the FCSVR window while logged in as admin.
    This throws an error that says, “Unable to analyse project – invalid format.”
    Then I export the project as an XML file and upload it the same way and receive no error.
    All of the files are uploaded beautifully as well as the .xml file; however, when I check out the .xml file, it is copied to the folder of my choice as a .fcp file! At least that is the extension that shows up. I can tell it is really still an .xml file because when I open it with FCP it converts it to a .fcp file (FCP informs me of this on execution).
    After I make changes to the file and save it (using Command+s), I go back to FCSVR and try to check in the file I checked out. The file checks in just fine.
    However, when I try to check the file out again, I get a different error message that says, “Final Cut Pro Download failed (Project File not found).”
    I have checked the device, which is on my Xsan volume, and the file is there. Actually, so is the .xml file.
    The only work around I have found is instead of just saving my changes with Command+s, I can export another .xml with the same name as the original and upload that file into FCSVR, but that will overwrite the file already there, making version tracking unavailable.
    I have seen this problem in a few places and I wonder if it is around the board, or if it is just on some installs. Any ideas or fixes would be awesome.

    Thanks for your reply. I apologize because I already received an answer and it worked! Here is Matt Geller's response from my post on Xsanity:
    First - checking in the xml is confusing the process. Version 1.1 of FC Server expects to receive an actual .fcp binary during upload. It does the same when checking out: it delivers an .fcp binary.
    I have a hunch that you are getting the invalid format error because your Final Cut Server itself is not logged in as the admin user. If this is the case, keep the machine logged in and see if you still have the issue with the original .fcp binary.
    Sure enough, once I logged in as admin, it worked beautifully.

  • 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.

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • 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.

  • Error While Uploading Captivate 6 Projects into Oracle LMS

    Hello,
    We have recently updated our Captivate software from Captivate 5 to Captivate 6. We are now experiencing issues when uploading our Captivate projects into our Oracle LMS.  We are unable to upload newly developed courseware as a result, and have many critical learning initiatives with deadlines coming up within our organization.
    We receive the following error when uploading published Captivate 6 files into our LMS:
    Oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Element ‘appearance’ not expected.
    The Log states: “The operation could not find a learning object with the external identifier: and external source: . A new learning object named How to insert an image into Microsoft Word with id 2824 has been created.
    The language en-US is not compatible for the learning object named How to insert an image into Microsoft Word (id: 2824). The language will be set to American English.
    The import process has failed: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Element 'appearance' not expected.”
    When contacting Oracle, they directed me to contact the vendor and inquire if they have resolved their UNIX issues and corrected the imsmanifest.xml creation piece of the tool.   The  Captivate 6 software on my PC is up to date with the newest patch installed, and I have tried publishing courses with different combinations of preferences and settings and none seem to resolve the issue.
    Any insight as to what is causing this error or what can be done to correct it?  
    Thanks.

    The error message makes me think the LMS is looking for an MS Word document included in your SCORM manifest file.  Some LMSs are very strict about all files in the course needing to be listed in the imsmanifest.xml file.
    Do you have a document in the package that the users need to read or that is linked in some way to your course content?

Maybe you are looking for
