Will FCE Projects Open in FC Studio 2?

Hello
Was wondering if FCE projects will open in FC6, (Final Cut Studio 2)?
Thanx
Mike

Probably – as long as the version of FCP was later than the version of FCE. They were both released in 2007, but at different times – and they both were updated thereafter.

CHeck out the dates of the respective versions.
Good luck.

Upgrading to Studio - will old projects open/

I am about to upgrade to Final Cut Studio - Here is the dilemma...I have to get the full program, not the upgrade because my FCP program was "borrowed" from someone else and I will have to go from scratch with the studio, an upgrade won't work, I don't think. I did pruchase FCE initially, but you obviously upgrade from FCE to Studio. Anyway, when I install the Studio programs, will I be able to open all of my old projects in Studio, or will I have to keep all the old software from FCP and FCE on my computer?
Thanks.

Final Cut Pro does a good job opening projects from previous versions - including FCE. Once opened and saved they are not backwardly compatible.
If I was looking at installing FCS2 over your collection of previously installed stuff I'd seriously consider acquiring a new hard drive, format it MacOS Extended (Journaled) and install OSX and the applications from scratch.
This does two things for you -
1. you have an absolutely pristine installation of the OS and your apps. They will run very well.
2. you have a backup (your old system disk) if things go kaboom.
Cheers,

Open Final Cut Express 4 project in Final Cut Studio 2?

We just upgraded our field laptop to FCE 4 and our workstations to Final Cut Studio 2. Now our machines are telling us we can't open documents from the laptop on our Studio machines. Isn't Studio 2 newer than FCE 4? Do we have any options here, other than to roll back the version of FCE on our laptop?
Thanks,

Thanks for the pointer, tallguy. I just got done with all the Pro App updates and the project opens fine in FCP. If I'd installed the updates before trying to load that project file, I'd have never noticed a thing!

Can't open Zend Project files using Zend Studio

Hi there,
I've been in contact with Zend about this issue but they assure me that they don't have this problem with their Mac's and no other Mac user has reported this fault.
So here I am asking in the only other logical place I can think of.
Basically I want to double click on a Zend Project File (.zpf) and have it open in Zend Studio.
The first time I tried setting the desired application to ZDE.app it came up with an unknown error I think it was -10814? And each subsequent time I try to open the project file I get Zend Studio telling me it is an unrecognized file type.
If you could give me any suggestions or leads to follow I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time,
Ant

HI webchalk and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Ok, when you say you tried setting the desired application to ZDE.app ... have you tried this?
To open a document with a specific application:
In the Finder, select the document and choose File > Get Info.
In the Info window, click to show the "Open with" pane.
Choose the application you want to use from the pop-up menu.
If you want all documents that have the same file type as this one to open with the same application, click Change All.

How to Open JCreator Project in Sun Java Studio Enterprise

Hi All,
Please suggest to me I Created a Project in JCreator using JSF project is running properly in JCreator but when i am trying to open the same project in Sun Java Studio Enterprise its not opening can any knows plzz let me update to me......

dilsesan,
I assume that by JCreator you mean Java Studio Creator. In this case I suppose that the project type you described - "JSF Project" is specific to JSC and is not supported in Java Studio Enterprise. Sorry.
Btw, why do you want to use Java Studio Enterprise for editing a project created with Creator? Is there a feature missing in Creator that is present in JSE?
Thanks,
Kirill

Is it possible to open FCE projects in the latest version of FCPX?

Is it possible to open Final Cut Express 4 projects in the latest version of Final Cut Pro X (10.0.4)?
I have 18 projects on my hard drive, and I'm concecrned about their compaitibility in the future. Should I leave them as they are, and I'll be able to import them into Final Cut Pro X, or should I first convert them to Final Cut Pro 7 projects?

You can't open FCE projects in FCPX. If you can open a copy in FCP7 and export an XML file.

Can't open an FCE project in FCP

I got FCE 4.0.1 and have now upgraded to FCP 6.0.1. When I try to open my existing FCE project in FCP, I get a message that says, " File's format is too new for this version of application."
I just bought the FCS, so I assume it's the latest version of the program.
Any ideas?

The latest version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.5.
Use the software updater to get to that version.
My guess is the 6.0.1 was released before FCE 4.0.1.
"In general, Final Cut Pro can open a Final Cut Express project if it was last modified in a version of Final Cut Express that was released before the version of Final Cut Pro that you are using."

FCE project won't open timeline, browser, etc

Hi guys,
Suddenly when I try to open a FCE project, it only plays the finished project. The browser, timeline, canvass, etc are blank like a new project. Theres no way I can do additional editing.
The only project that opens normally is one which was never completed, never exported as a Quicktime movie. Help!
Leesa

Probably, by mistake, you are opening the exported .mov (even if the extension is not visible) in place of the FCE project. When you double click a .mov created by exporting a sequence from FCE, the .mov opens in FCE by default, but it does not have any timeline nor canvas.
If you want to continue editing you must retrieve the FCE Project file (.fcp extension if FCE 3.5) ed open that one.

Confused on how to start (opening FCE project in Livetype)

Sorry to sound completely clueless, but I watched the wonderful video tutorials at Livetypecentral.com, but there's no mention of exporting and importing. Before I start my Livetype project, do I import my FCE project into LiveType, or vice versa? I want to make sure I do this correctly.

do I import my FCE project into LiveType, or vice
versa?
You will create your Live Type project and save it.
Then you can import it directly into FCE for use in
your final cut express project.
Doug
But I was planning on having the text positioned in different places around cropped images of the movie. If I don't have the FCE movie on while I'm working with Live Type, how will I know exactly where to put the Live Type text?

Will iMovie HD open iMovie 08 Project?

Based on what I've read, I can't see iMovie 08 replacing iMovie HD, but I could see it being useful in just the sort of circumstances it seems intended for -- a quickie movie that can be shared right away.
I could also, however, see myself wanting to fine-tune a quickie project created in iMovie 08 by using iMovie HD.
Will iMovie HD open iMovie 08 projects? If not, can anyone suggest a way to, in effect, have the best of both worlds?
Thanks

Projects cannot be shared between iMovie '06 and iMovie '08. '08 can import '06 projects with some documented limitations. There is no quality loss going in that direction. To go from '08 to '06, you have to export your project as a movie file. Your best choise is using the Quicktime DV Stream format, as that is the native format for iMovie '06. Then import your movie into a new project in iMovie '06. You will get one long clip in iMovie '06, will all effects, transitions, and titles rendered. There is a slight quality loss in the process, as iMovie '08 is not a DV editing application, and re-encodes your clips, even if they were in DV format originally.

"Ken Burns" imovie 06 project opened in FCE 4

Opening an iMovie 06 project in FCE 4 works great, except I'm confused about still photos to which I had added the Ken Burns affect to in iMovie. In FCE they still move as expected when just viewing the timeline, but when I open up Motion tab for an image in the Viewer, there is no Scaling or Centering listed. I thought maybe FCE converts photos to movies to maintain the effect, but they are still just JPGs.
How are these images moving, if there is nothing changed in the Motion tab!?
I'm hoping to make some quick Ken Burns effect slideshow in iMovie and then do more editing in FCE...
Thanks!

I have no chance to test it now on my Mac, but it seems strange to me that FCE can convert Ken Burn effects from an iMovie project into FCE Motion keyframes. FCE more likely imports an already rendered motion clip from iMovie. Probably it also imports the original JPGs, but the clip you are viewing in the timeline is more likely a clip where the original Ken Burn Effect cannot be modified.
In any case you can do a simple test: create a test iMovie project with a single image, apply the KB effect to that image, import that project into a new test FCE project: it's then easy to check what is and what is not imported.

Compatibility: Will iMovie '09 Open My iMovieHD 5.02 Projects?

I captured forty-five hours of home videos (SuperBeta, VHS, S-VHS, Hi8, D8) using iMovie HD v5.0.2 on a G4 iMac (that is now seven years old) a couple of years ago. I stored all of these projects on an external Firewire 1TB hard drive. (This drive has about 10GB of free space remaining.) I edited out some unwanted information, and some noise, from all of the clips and saved the work. I've waited to purchase a newer Mac before I complete the projects by adding transitions, titles, etcetera. I think that this is the year that I will purchase a new iMac.
Will iMovie '09 open my iMovie HD v5.0.2 projects?
Thank you.
Kurt Todoroff

I don't know if iMovie 5 uses the same format as iMovie 6. If it does, then iMovie 09 can import it. If not, you'll have to use iMovie 6 (iMovieHD) to open older project and save it as iMovieHD project, which can be then imported to iMovie 09.

Any way to have two DVD SP projects open at the same time?

Hi
Since it is likely that I'm going to re-build all the menues in my PAL DVD in a new NTSC project, I'd like to know if there is any way for me to have two separate DVD Studio Pro projects open at the same time. That way I can easily check and copy location coordinates for the buttons, copy text, etc, etc.
When I open my new project when the old still open, DVD SP just closes the old and opens the new project.
If it was possible, it would make everything much easier for me, since I have 15 menues to re-create
Thanks!

If you just require a visual reference, you can take screen grabs of your first project and open them in Preview...
Open your project, and press Shiftcommand(apple)4 and the pointer turns into a little cross-hair.... you then click-hold & drag a marquee around the section of the screen you need as reference, then when you release the mouse button a screen grab is taken of that portion you selected.
It will be saved to your desktop as 'Picture 1'
you can repeat this for different sections of the project (picture 2, picture 3 etc), and open them in preview.
Not an ideal solution, but might be of help.
