Viewing P2 Media Without Final Cut

Hello all - I have footage shot with the HVX and imported straight off the p2Cards with Final Cut, the only form of this footage that I have exists as the quicktimes generated by FCP on an external Lacie drive.
However, I have somebody attempting to view the footage on a G4 running Panther, without Final Cut Installed. Their quicktime is up to date, but all they get when playing a clip is a white screen over the audio.
So I guess it's a codec issue - can you download a stand-alone update for quicktime that allows you to view quicktime media originated with P2 on a computer without Final Cut?
Any help appreciated!

Without Final Cut installed he MIGHT be missing the DVCPRO HD codec. I am not sure is that is a QT installed codec, or installed when you install FCP...but without that codec they will not be able to view the footage. You will have to compress it into a format they can view.

Can I use Motion 5 without Final Cut Pro but maybe for iMovie?

Hi guys, if I buy Motion 5 can I use it to create a project without Final Cut Pro or X or what ever?! And can I create transitions for iMovie?
Thanks

Stelo08, yes, Motion will export in a handful of formats.
h264 is the most popular, but did not support transparency, which you would likely want if you wanted to do lower thirds (titles).
Motion will export in prores 444 which which supports transparency, but I do not know if it works in imovie.
(I tried it in Camtasia 2.3 and it did not there, but it seemed to work in ScreenFlow 4.03)
Additionally, you can import video footage into Motion, so worst case scenario, you could pull a shorter scene into motion, do your overlays, export that scene and then add it back into imovie.

Is Apple Pro Res viewable on computers WITHOUT Final Cut installed?

I have used Apple Pro Res to compress 3d animation and it looks great, far better than any codec so far. Now I find that it is only viewable on computers with Final Cut Pro 6 installed.
I am planning to exhibit the work as quicktimes, but need to use computers without Final Cut installed. Is there any way to import the codec into a Quicktime pro library so movies with Apple Pro Res are viewable on computers WITHOUT Final Cut on them???
Thanks!

ProRes is only licensed with FCP, and can only be installed along with FCP. You could transcode your clips into the Animation codec and try playing them on the other systems.

You can use Motion 5 without Final Cut.

Shake without Final Cut

Will Shake work without Final Cut? I'm on a tight budget and cannot afford Final
Cut Pro. Will Shake work with Express or iMovie?

Yes, I'd like to have FCP Studio also. What I want to do is take an existing video (probably a .mov, but still not sure) and add some title graphics (not text) with a kind of effect where the title graphic 'falls' from vertical (sticking straight out of screen) to flat. Also, on the latter stages of the video, I'll need to composite some city flyover video onto terrain created in Vue. Does this make sense?

You seem to be suffering from a problem related to the just released 10.9.3. Have you updated to this new version?

HOW TO Delete Unused Media from FINAL CUT PRO

*HOW TO DELETE UNUSED MEDIA FROM HARD DRIVE IN FINAL CUT PRO.* Keywords: disk disc drive space remove compressor
SUMMARY:
Say your original clip is 10 gigs, you can use only what you need and delete the rest from your hard drive. I know people on the forums say to just buy another hard drive, NO! It took 2 days to figure out but here it is!!! Email me if needed at [email protected]
QUESTION:
I captured 1 hour of video at a time and now want to delete from my hard drive all the parts I don’t want to use. I have 300GB of junk on my hard drive and I only want to use a few scenes using a few megabytes, so that I'll get most of my 300GB back!!!!
ANSWER:
In final cut on Mac, click on one small clip (to get familiar with process), go to “file”, “export”, then “using compressor”. This will open compressor software. Your file will open in the left top window. Then you need to batch the job or jobs. IMPORTANT: I’ve also solved the Compressor problem when you press “submit” to a batch and it states “Cluster: None”. Search forum for “In compressor you experience what I have”.

Part of the problem could lie in the fact it's an imovie project coming into FCP, wouldn't rule that out. Second my be the terms you use and what you expect to happen. For example, a subclip is just a smaller clip subbed from a larger clip. It has nothing to do with media management. But you can media manage a subclip and delete the unused media.
Try this (be sure to back up the original clip first). take a long clip into the viewer, make an IN and OUT duration of like 30 frames and then subclip that, Modify > Make Subclip. a new subclip will appear in the browser with a torn clip icon and the name Subclip. Right click on the subclip and choose Media Manager.... Check the Delete unused media from duplicated clip. As you toggle that the green Modified bar at the top change from the full clip size to a tiny modified size. If it does not then one of two things ... user error or the system is screwed up. That's the easiest way to test media manager.

Viewing movie made on Final Cut on a windows PC

My friend has a mac and made a movie on Final Cut. He tried to give me a copy, but after printing it to DVD from both Final Cut and from iDVD, whenever I load the DVD into my PC i cant read it. My computer barely even recognizes that the DVD exists and instead of showing that there is a DVD but then saying the file cant be opened, it just pops up an error message after thinking for a long time and declares that the file type is not supported by Windows. I dont know much about movie formatting, but my friend insists that the DVD isnt a data disc, and that it should be formatted properly to work in either my computer or on a standard DVD player.
My question is: does anyone know of a plug-in or other adapter that I might need to view this DVD on my PC or some other work-around that might help me out?
Thanks so much for your time and assistance!

Your friend has to export the file as a Quick Time movie and you can see it from Quick Time for Windows.Also you can burn from the Finder and make a Mac/PC format without using iDVD - I'd be surprised to find out that a PC can understand an extension like ".dvdproj"

Real Media to Final Cut Pro

Hi,
I'm trying to record a real media stream and then open it up in Final Cut Pro for editing.
I downloaded a piece of software called "Cocoa" and although it seems to record the RM stream the file does nothing on Playback.
Can anyone suggest to me software that will allow me to record a real media stream and then convert it to open it in Final Cut Pro Version 4.
Thank you

Ah ha! So that's how they do all those video training tutorials.
I looked at their web site but I couldn't figure out if Snapz would record the rm stream without all the surrounding boxes.
I'm actually trying to capture space footage from the Nasa TV station on-line as I believe it is public domain and okay to use in projects.

Lost media for Final cut Pro X

I finished a project on final Cut Pro X and started on a new one downloading new footage. I ran out of Disk space so I started to delete events from my iphoto library. (All is backed up) I also deleted events and files that where being used in my previous project. When I go to open the project they have obviously dissapeared and I am confronted with 2 different looking boxes. One, with the usual 'Missing File' (Mainly photo's I think) with the red background icon, but also a lot of video which is replaced with a blue box with the linear look of a video and audio segment. As I say I have all the footage backed up and have re uploaded back into iphoto. I dont know how to make the program reconnect with the files I have reinstalled.

Hi MC Hilton,
I found the following information that may be helpful in relinking lost media to a Final Cut Pro X project:

Lost media for final cut. Where to store?

ok so i do alot of pulling of pictures from the web and dropping to my desktop because its the quickest way to get pictures for my projects into final cut. but when i want to clean up my desktop because there is a million pictures there the media on my final cut gets lost because it can not find where i placed the pictures. so i've tryed importing them into iphoto and everywhere else but i wont work i still get missing content error. where should i bring these photos so i can clean my desktop up

Do what innocentius said.
Then use the Relink Files command in FCP X if they appear to be missing. In fact, the relinking may not even be necessary, unless you move them to another drive.
FCP X is very clever in relinking files. Often you need only tell it in which volume the files are stored. So if you move them to a folder on an external drive, you then should do the relink command, select the drive and boom!

How do I transcode Canon 5D Mark II media into Final Cut X?

Hi,
I recently purchased Final Cut X. I will be editing Canon 5D Mark II media. How do I transcode the 5D media? Do I need the compressor app to do it? Is there a demo video out there that anyone reccomends.
thanks,
Tom

Tom, buzzdad...The camera is conected through USB 2.0. There are three or four USB slolts on 27" iMac. All of them tested, none of them mounts the camera on the desktp ( which is very weird ). Like I said above I can transfer the movies ( misteriously I must say ), through Image Capture to the mac hard drive. ( I really don't know if this process cause any loss in the image quality, for instance ).
I have had similar experiences. I have used a number of digital cameras over the years (DSLR as well as compact cameras).
Some cameras mount right on the desktop, some don't. For those that don't, Image Capture seems to be the way to bring the image and/or movie files from the camera to your mac (you could probably use iPhoto or Aperture, also; but I dislike using those for video files).

How can I save media in final cut?

Why the media imported doesn't save in final cut? If I disconnect the camera the media goes away and I get an error code
please help

When you click import FCP X lets you start editing right away, but the importing (and transcoding to optimized or proxy if you selected to do any of those) continues in the background. Maybe you simply did not let the import process finish. Hit Cmd-9 to see if there are background processes running.
Any clips that did not finish importing should appear as red with a yellow warning when you disconnect. Select them and do File->Import-Reimport from Camera or Card.

Anyone study Apple Pro Training Series SP 2 without Final Cut Pro app?

Hi Guys,
I have Soundtrack Pro 2. It came with the Logic Pro Studio bundle. I want to get the certification for SP 2. I just opened the SP 2 Apple Pro Training Series book and the first directions are to open +Final Cut Pro+ to convert the .fcp file in the lesson folder to a .stmp file to use in SP 2.
I don't have Final Cut Pro. Am I dead in the water? How does someone who got SP 2 via purchasing Logic Pro Studio follow this book, since Final Cut Pro doesn't come with the Logic bundle?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light!

I'm checking back in here and bumping this thread up hoping someone from Apple might throw in a reply here. I've spent the last few days on the net seeking out anyone else who ran into this problem and I've discovered there are quite a few others running into this issue. How is someone who purchased STP with Logic Studio supposed to get certified? Why doesn't Apple let people know about this before they purchase the product? If they weren't aware of it before (I've been told Apple has now been notified of the issue), why isn't Apple addressing this and providing a workaround?
Anyone from Apple out there?

Can Motion 5 be used without Final Cut?

I'm just looking at the new version of Motion and wondering if Final Cut Pro is required to be able to use it or not.

I just purchased motion 5, and it looks like you need FCP X for some projects, some of my templates are gone...
but you can get to them by going direct to the motion templates and opening them that way... the undo command is not working all the time...(frustrating!) I guess Motion 5 has some issues that need to be fix...
I do like the new interface... very cool...
