Work Flow for FCP-Motion-DVD Studio

All right, this is all new. Earlier this morning, I was able to finally go from FCP to Motion to DVD Studio, burned a DVD, and was able to play it on MAC, PC and home DVD player. Then, I edited another video in FCP, and think I lost the handle.
What is the work flow and what are the export/import settings for broadcast quality when needing to edit in FCP, add changes in Motion, and Burn in DVD Studio:
1. Edit in FCP, export as what?
2. Open Motion and import ??, make edits, export as what ??
3. Open DVD Studio, import ??, create menu, etc., build and format, then Burn.
Do I bring it in to Compressor out of FCP? I don't want to compress it.
Thanks

umm, you'll find answers for these questions in those big books that came in your software boxes. you're asking questions that only you can determine based upon the video format you're working with, the graphics you want to use and how much video you're wanting to stick on a dvd.
you have to compress to mpeg2 to get whatever video you're working with in fcp onto a dvd.
time to open the manuals and do the tutorials.

  • A Good Work Flow For FCP 5.0 using Canon's HV20

    I am using FCP 5.0 on an intel iMac, 1.8ghz, 1gig of RAM, running FCP 5.0
    I'd like advice on a good work flow in terms of the proper project settings,
    capture settings, and compressor settings for a good burn to DVD.
    I use the 24p element on the HV20, but I am not really interested in editing native
    as I won't be going back to film, just DVD.
    Pointers anyone?

    There's this:

    And this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306389
    But yeah, you have to get FCP 6. 5.1 was only released to those who shipped off their 5.0 disks, so finding copies for sale will be tough. And FCP 5 was BARELY into HDV editing...forget 24p. You need to get a later version of the software.

  • Panasonic z-10000 work flow for FCP?

    I can only get one (not 2) video strams to download.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same issue.  Unfortunately, the only options I've come up with are:
    1.  Convert your footage using Cineform (after doing parallax adjustments and such).  Then edit in FCP.  Problem with this is:  if you shoot 100 clips and in the process of editing decide you're only going to use 10, you just spent time adjusting and exporting 90 uneeded clips from Cineform.  Huge waste of time.
    2.  Edit in Sony Vegas.  This is a Windows only program.  I just installed windows on my mac (using boot camp).  Apparently, Sony Vegas is the ONLY video editing program that nativly handles 3D AVCHD (MTS) files.  Problem is:  I haven't gotten it to work without major lagging and drop out issues.  *****.  Apple needs to step up and start dealing with 3D.  Also, I think it's shameful that Panasonic hasn't created a plug-in for video editing softwares to handle their footage.
    Let me know if you come up with anything better.  I'm pulling my hair out trying to deal with this.  Best of luck.

  • Finishing From FCP to DVD STUDIO..... should it be really simple????

    I'm trying to find a way to to editing my DVD with surround because i'm more of a logic user
    and i so all my surround editing and everything in logic
    but for some strange reason i'm finding it had to take my project from FCP to DVD studio
    to do all the chapters and menus and all the other things you get on most DVD
    i know iDVD is the easiest way to go
    but its limited abit
    so can anyone give me a tip on how to import or open a FCP project in DVD stuido without exporting FCP project as DV or Movie and importing it into DVD studio
    thanks in advance
    stash

    If you want it to be simple and don't need surround, just export a reference movie of your timeline from FCP and import that into DVDSP.
    A reference movie is quick to export, as long as your timeline is rendered. It also doesn't take up much space, as it's simply a reference to all your render files.
    Once you bring that into DVDSP, it will compress it and you can add your menus from templates, add chapter markers, and burn.
    Those of us who do critical work prefer to use Compressor because it allows us control over every setting of the compression process and we can tailor our compression to the project at hand. But for ease of use, just import that reference movie into DVDSP and burn.
    Also, set DVDSP to encode in the background, not encode on build. That way it will start compressing as soon as you import the file, so it's working while you're working on menus, etc. Otherwise it won't start compressing until you hit burn.

  • Optimizing work flow in FCP on new iMac? (dropped frames)

    Hello-
    I've recently purchased a new iMac, first in about 6 years. I'm looking for some advice about optimizing my work flow in FCP. I am largely self-taught, using FCP for hobbyist/amateur video.
    Until this new computer, I have been using FCP on other people's Macs (schools, arts institutions, etc), only resorting to my old Powerbook when absolutely necessary. So I have not had to worry about performance issues until now.
    I am shooting on a Kodak Zi8 pocket cam in 1080p HD .MOV files, 1920x1080 H.264, AAC audio.
    In my first attempts at editing the footage, I find that I am getting dropped frames on playback at every edit point - any time I cut between shots, add titles, etc.
    (I also tried editing some much smaller, compressed files (QT 854x480, H.264, AAC audio) in the timeline and had the frame drop problem.)
    Also, when I add titles, they do not preview render - I have to render them completely to be able to playback.
    When I allow FCP to change the sequence settings to match the clip, I get the following:
    1920 x 1080
    Aspect: HDTV 1080i (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect: Square
    Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
    Editing Timebase: 29.97
    In this instance I am editing footage that is stored on the local HD, but I have also tried editing footage from a USB 2.0 external drive, and got the same dropped frame problem.
    ...its a little frustrating to get these performance issues on this new computer, so I hope that someone here can help me resolve some of my problems. Hopefully this is a work flow issue, but if its a lack of hardware, well, shame on me for not looking into it enough.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi -
    H.264 is a recording and delivery format, but as you have discovered, it is very difficult to edit. Its qualities of recording a high quality image in a small file size, which make it attractive for use in Flash based camcorders, makes it very difficult for FCP to work with. Attempting to work in H.264 makes FCP drop frames, require constant rendering, etc.
    The best solution is to convert your footage to an edit friendly file format, such a ProRes LT or AIC. There will be minimal impact on the quality of the image. This conversion will result in files that are much larger than your original files, but will work easily in FCP.
    You don't say if you have FCS or just FCP, but if you do have FCS then you can use Compressor to do the conversion.
    Hope this helps.

  • HD work flow for downloadable quick times

    We are putting up video clips for press sites to download - these clips are currently being used in mostly FCP and Avid. We are generating our clips from ArtBox (which only supports DV 25). We currently are supplying Mpeg-2, DV25 AVI and DV25 MOV files for download.
    Question...We are wanting to supply HD content. Does any one have a suggested work flow for this delivery?
    We are using FCP. I am thinking we ingest using DVCPro 50 or Pro Ress 422 and export using H264. This of course does not create the AVI of MPEG-2? We are trying to supply at least three file choices.
    Any thoughts?

    H.264 is only for presentation...right. Wouldn't want to get that for editing.
    ProRes isn't really what you want either, I don't think. What it does is make Uncompressed HD quality files fit into an uncompressed SD data rate. That is stil a bit high for web delivery.
    Not sure what you'd use. For SD clips I'd typically get Photo JPEG A files....then I'd convert into the codec I needed. I'll let someone who might know more than me in this area take the answer on this one.

  • Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

    I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
    This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
    How can this be achieved?

    Tyr to do like this,
    1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
    2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
    3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
    4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
    5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing  assign the multiline container element name in the   for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
    &COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]&   -------->     &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
    Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

  • Regarding work flow for credit block release in sales order

    Dear Experts,
    Kindly help me with work flow-
    my scenario is if customers credit limit of 5000$ exceeds in sales order it should be blocked and notification should go to authorize person through simple mail to release this block.
    for this i have done settings in out control i have used output type krml and determined partner as employee responsible to release block in customer master but mail is not triggered to authorized person for credit block and how i can create work flow for this so that authorized person should get notify for credit block as well he releases block also.
    Regards
    Supriya

    Dear supriyaparimal,
    Please find the below points to fix your issue.
    1. Configure the out put determination by using the condition type KRML.(Hope oyu have done it already).
    2.Maintain the condition records in VV11 for condition type "KRML"
    3.Then select the condition record and click the communication tab .
    4. If you want to give any information you can use "Note for recipient".
    5. If the information has to be sent to relevant person you recipient name in the recipient column.
    Save the documnet.
    If you raise the sales order and if it is blocked then system automatically send the information to respective person.
    You can get this in formation in ""SBWP" transaction code.
    Check the in box, the information what you have mentioned in the condition records will be appeared.
    Please let me know if you have any clarifications
    Thanks&Regards

  • Re: Work flow for resource / work center in MEINT

    Hello Experts,
    We are working on SAP ME 15.0 recently installed. We are trying to send the work center from ECC to ME. In MEINT we see only the following work flow for work center / resource:
    As can  be seen, LOIWCS02 is not there. When we sent work center (category 9100) with LOIWCS02 IDoc type, it failed in MEINT. But when we sent work center from ECC (category 9100) using IDoc type 9100, it was processed successfully in MEINT but it created work center in ME.
    The other component LOIWCS02_ME_RES or LOIWCS02_ME_WC is not getting called. What is the possible reason and resolution?
    Would be thankful for any feedback on this.
    Thanks in advance
    Srinivas

    Hello Alexander,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    As per the help document, the work center category 9100 is supposed to create a Resource in SAP ME but it ends up creating work center in ME.
    If you see the screen shot I had put in my query, I see that there are three work flows - one for LOIWCS03 and the other two for LOIWCS02_RES and LOIWCS02_RES. Would this make any difference since I would expect that the work flow for RES and WC should also be in line with LOIWCS03?
    I will be asking my tech team to raise a support incident for this. Meanwhile I would appreciate your reply on this.
    Thanks

  • Work flow for Goods issue MIGO_GI

    Hi friends,
    I want to develop a work flow for good issue MIGO_GI  transaction.  Is there any standard work flow this scenario.
    When I deliver the 4 materials, the Material cost is 100*4 = 400, if the Material cost is greatr than 500, mail should trigger to the manager, if it less it will go to the first approver.
    please advice me in this.,
    regards,
    Ajay

    I think no stanadard workflow will provide you with such a validation, Better to design your own customized workflow template,
    Follow the below steps.
    1. Open PFTC select the task type workflow template
    2. Click F5 and define the relevant fields and make the agent assignemnt for the workflow template as general task from the menu  addtional agent  ---> agent assginement  --> maintain --> general task.
    3.  Check the BOR BUS2017 this might be useful.
    Check the method GoodsMovement.SAPCreate and its parameters  interface, if you can get the total values of the then include a condition and validate th total cost if is satrisfyies send mail and workitem to approver, if it does not satisfy then send only workitem to approver.
    Check the below BADI's
    MB_BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE        MB_GOODSMOVEMENT
    MB_BATCH_MASTER                MB_GOODSMOVEMENT
    MB_DOCUMENT_BADI               MB_GOODSMOVEMENT
    from where you can trigger your customized workflow by using the standard fm SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT or SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW*
