Where do I find the frame rate of my project in Final Cut Pro?

Shot in 24p. Can't find out where to look in Final Cut Pro to confirm that my project is still in 24p.

To elaborate a little on what MtD's post, uUnlike Avid, There is no frame rate associated with an fcp project. Sequences and Clips all have frame rates associated with them. And be aware that 24p is actually 23.976 fps. It is sometimes listed as 23.98 fps (just to make you crazy or crazier as the case may be).

You don't import the project.
I'm going to assume that both the trial version and purchased version were 10.1.
Open FCPX and then Open Library>Other, Navigate to wherever you stored the library (ies) you worked on when you used the trial. Choose that library and your work should be in one or more events in it.

Did you by any chance move the Events and/or Projects folders? Are they on an exteranl hard drive and it is now not plugged in?

On the assumption you want to install Final Cut Express (and not something from the app store), you find the serial number on on the documentation that came with the FCE disks. If you do not have the documentation, you are out of luck.

I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

Hello everyone
I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
Hope you guys can help me!

You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

I can't get my projects in Final Cut Pro X to work in 1080p. One turned out to be 1080p but I did everything the same as the ones that did not. ***? Any ideas?

I can't get my projects in Final Cut Pro X to work in 1080p. One turned out to be 1080p by "accident" but I did everything the same as the ones that did not. Same camera/settings (shot in 60i). I didn't really care cause I had to get some stuff done, but now I know I "can" dp them in HD but can't figure why the one went up to YT in full HD (and made a copy in my movies folder. That one project acted totally different than the other 5 but I didn't change anything. Can't get it to work again. ***? Any ideas?

No problem! If you're worried about more complicated edits (which in all honesty, should work no matter how many clips you select or how many effects are attached to them), you can always compound a clip first, and then copy it over after if you're afraid of lots of track clutter getting in the way. Not sure if they would break apart afterwards though if you wanted them to.

I have a project in Final cut pro 10.5 and the spinning icon appears with every action and each action takes up to 30 seconds to respond to?

Are you using Mavericks. If so you should update FCPX

I updated to yosemite os and was in the middle of a project with final cut pro 10. Now it says final cut pro is incompatible. How can I access my project and/or update final cut?

There is this offer of a trial version FC Pro X with 30 day runtime:
http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/trial/
Too bad you didn't have a complete backup that could run the previous OS X
and then you could resume using an earlier Final Cut Pro (10) or (7) since a
clone would have been a means toward that position.
http://www.apple.com/support/finalcutpro/
http://www.apple.com/support/pro-apps/
This appears to be another good reason to check out all the reasons why one
would want or need to upgrade a working OS X version, since these kinds of
events are known to happen as a direct result.
Sorry to not have an answer to this, other than try & use the Trial version...
Or see if someone at Apple sales/support can field your issue w/ an answer.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I migrate an iMovie project to final cut pro and keep the edits intact?

can I migrate an iMovie project to final cut pro and keep the edits intact? It may be a solution to my apparently corrupted iMovie

The manual tells ..
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.1/?lang=en#ver41812c7c
keep in mind: just the 'plain cuts', not the eye-candy iMovie offers, wil be transfered.
unfortunately it says ...:
You initiate the process from within iMovie. The project file and the media used in the project are copied to your Final Cut Pro library.
For more information, see iMovie Help.
so, if your iM doesn't work anymore, you can not transfer.
plus, my personal opinion!, I would start from scratch in FCPx...
What issues in iM do you expect FCPX to solve,...?

How can I change the frame rate of a project in imovie 10?

My problem is: I made a gopro movie with a frame rate of 50 fps. I imported it to imovie. So far so good.
Scrubbing over the clip i found one single frame which looked amazing. So I draged some seconds of that clip into the timeline (the project if you will).
The goal was to make a freeze frame out of this "spezial" frame.
Unfortunately I could not find this frame in the timeline any more - it's gone.
I think imovie dropped half of the frames to fit the clip into the projekt, which I assume is using 24-25fps.
The only solution I found is to decrease the speed of the clip to let's say 50%.
But is there a better way?
Can I change the frame rate of the projekt somehow? I think it was possible in imovie 11.
many thanks
Rainer
(from austria)

iMovie 10 won't share at 50 fps and so for 25 fps output probably drops every other frame. This is different from Imovie 9 which could handle 50 fps. However, if you do 50% speed it will use all the available frames so that is indeed the way to find the frame you want. After you have made a freeze frame I think you can switch the clip back to normal speed. I am not aware of a better way in iMovie 10 By the way there is also no facility to export a still of a frame in iMovie.
As a GoPro user I think FCP 10.1 would be the best choice.

What's the best external drive to use with Final Cut Pro?

I'm looking for a drive to mainly back up my final cut pro work, possibly do a little editing on, what's best? I have a G5 desktop.

Congratulations on your graduation.
On the hope that during your college career you learned how to do original research, you could show some clear initiative and read through those threads my link will reveal. From the drives discussed you might find common elements (praise or conndemnation) that show up after reading dozens of threads. Of the ones that get consistently good reviews by serious users, you can then go the website of the manufacturer and figure out if they fit your budget.
All this can be done in the time of you waiting around for a few people to chip into this thread.
Good luck.

The document "-" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the "package" format.

Hello.
I have been trying to open a Final Cut Pro project but I keep getting this notification (title). The internet does not seem to have any solutions (maybe because of how simple it is).
I have had in on an external hard drive for a while.
I am using FCP 10.0.9
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks,
Jimmy Fox

It sounds like you're trying to open an FCP library. FCP files are never backwards compatible. The library structure was first created in version 10.1, so 10.0.9 will not open it. You'd need to find out which version created the library.

Whenever I press spacebar to playback my video project in final cut pro X, the color wheel pops up and freezes the computer. Doesn't matter what computer I use. Why and how do I fix this?

Like I said, I'm doing a simple video and have finally made some progress in editing. All of a sudden, when I try to replay the video the color wheel pops up and nothing works. It just keeps spinning and spinning with no end. I end up having to force quit the program. When I restart it the same thing happens. I've tried it on 3 different computers and the results have been the same. I've read that perhaps the software needs to be updated through the mac store, I did that to no avail. I also read that perhaps the preferences for the project/final cut pro need to be reset. I downloaded a program that is supposed to do this for me but it didn't work I also went into Preferences in Final Cut and hit reset under editing tab which also did not work. I"m really frustrated about this and I"m getting paid for this video. This needs to be resolved ASAP. Thanks in advance for the help: ask any questions.

Please give complete details of your system and the media and the project properties.

Is the Canon Legria HF M56 compatible with Final Cut Pro X

I am new to Mac and new to Final Cut Pro X. I am looking to buy a new HD Video Camcorder to use with my new computer/software and wondered whether or not the Canon Legria HF M56 is compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
If it is, do you have to import the footage directly from the Camcorder, or can you first save the files to the Mac and import them that way?
I currently use a Sony HandyCam HDR-SR10 which produces AVCHD .mts files. I have these saved on my Mac after transferring them over from my PC but Final Cut Pro X cannot import them. Very frustrating for a professional app to be unable to import these files. Even Cyberlink Power Director can use these files.
Thanks for your help

It's not on the tested list but it may well work.

Why don't you download the trial and try it?

How to put on the files of the camera Sony Avchd hdr-td10 for Final Cut Pro 6.0.6?

Sorry for my English, I am French. I would like to know if the camera Sony Avchd hdr-td10 is compatible with Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 to List and Transferer and if it is necessary to install a particular codec? This camera makes of the 3D but I specify that my rushes are in 2D. Thank you in advance.

Read this. (Also available in French from the "Aide" menu bar item)
If the files are not recognized because Sony made some changes to the AVCHD format, MPEG Streamclip (free) might be able to help. Clipwrap ($50) will definitely work.
