  • Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

    Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
    Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
    -Michael

    First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
    Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
    Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
    Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.

  • How do i import imovie project into final cut pro

    I movie 08 is seriously lacking titles and transitions, so I want to spruce up my project in final cut pro, but I do not know how to get the project into final cut pro
    thanks for your help

    YES!
    Apple seems to be talking down to users with much of the workflow and nomenclature in the iLife Apps - it's almost insulting.
    But I'm as old as the hills too - grumping has become one of my favorite pass times.
    And while I'm at it:
    I still can't figure out why there is a "GO" item in the menu of OSX. WTH is THAT ? And why can't users change it's contents? Very PC. It would be more tolerable if we could use it like the OLD Apple Menu back in OS9. The Dock is cute GUI eye candy but I'd like the option of "docking" items in a menu too.
    I'll shut up now before I get in trouble...

  • Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

    Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

    I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

  • Importing FCE4 projects into Final Cut Studio

    I have the opportunity to purchase Final Cut studio with motion 2 Live Type media 2 DVD Studio pro 4. Since I have projects created in FCE 4 would I be able to bring those projects into Final Cut Studio with out a problem?

    Well I am finding more and more info It is Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1 not the "older" version I though it was. Am I to assume the FCE Projects are not transferrable to Version 5.1?

  • How do you import raw motion video projects into Final Cut Pro X

  • HT4115 How can I get my Final Cut Express 4 projects into Final Cut Pro X?

    I'm going to be switching to OSX Lion, and will have to update Final Cut, since express won't run on Lion. Thus I have to get X. With the new 64-bit Pro X is there a way to open my past projects? I know that at one time you could open up older versions of FC in higher and newer versions. I've heard about Assisted Editing's 7toX for Final Cut Pro application that allows you to convert your old FCP 7 files to be used in FCP X. Does anyone know of the best way I can assure not loosing all my current work?

    You can't import FCE projects into FCP X but you can import the media.
    You may well find that FCE will work on Lion.
    It seems OK on mine.
    Why do you want to go to Lion? Snow Leopard is probably a better OS in many ways.

  • Importing LiveType project into Final Cut Express HD 3.5

    I lost on how to import the livetype project into fce HD 3.5. When I do import it, i get ready to superimpose it over a scene in my movie, and a note comes up and says (insuffciant......something) what am i doing wrong?

    I'm assuming you are able to import the LT project into the FCE project and can see it listed in your FCE browser.
    Trying simply dragging the file directly from the browser to an empty video track (should be a top/upper level track..not track 1)in the sequence's timeline and place at the point/time/place you want it to appear in the sequence.
    You don't have to use the Canvas insert or overlay commands to get the LT project into the timeline.

  • Importing liveType project into Final Cut Express HD

    Hi
    When i try to import my Livetype project into FCE an file error pops up with the message "File error: 0 files, 0 acces denied, 1 unknown" In this directory there is only one file with the projectname en de extension ipr.
    Those anyone know what the problem is ?
    Thanks in advance
    Tonnie

    I encountered the same problem. When I first installed this program I did not install all of it. I went back and installed live type and soundtrack after he fact. Then I started receiving the same error message.
    I reinstalled the entire program at one time and now I do not receive that error message. I hope that helps.

  • Exporting Premiere Pro project  to Final Cut

    Anyone knows if it's possible to export a Premiere Pro project (possibly a CS4 project) into Final Cut 6.0.6 and how should it be done?
    Thanks in advance!

    Premiere Pro fo Mac or PC?
    The PC version captures footage and wraps it in an AVI container. Final Cut Pro works with QuickTime.
    You will need to recapture the footage if it was originally done on a PC version.
    Can Premiere Pro export an EDL?
    It's primitive but at least your shots will be in the right order and length. No filters or effects will be carried across though.

  • Problems rendering motion projects in Final Cut.

    When I import a motion project into final cut, and attempt to render it once it's on the timeline, i just get a black screen.

    Here's an inelegant workaround I've used when having these kinds of troubles:
    In your FCP timeline, create a slug the exact duration of the Motion project you're trying to import. Then control click on that slug, and choose Send To>Motion Project. It will launch Motion, with all the correct project properties assigned to the Motion file. Copy all your work from the first Motion project (the one that renders black), and paste it into this new Motion file that FCP has created. Hit Save in Motion. Then try rendering again in FCP. (Also, in FCP's Canvas, make sure Image is selected in the upper rightmost dropdown, or you might just get black.)

  • Export XDCAM clips into Final Cut

    I'm working on a project where all clips were supplied in XDCAM format. I exported using XDCAM EX clip browser so that now they are in a program called XDCAM transfer with an mxf extension. Now I need to get them into Final Cut(7) but can't figure out how. Can anyone help .
    Jeff

    In Final Cut Pro, choose File > Import > Sony XDCAM...
    That will cause the XDCAM Transfer app to open with hooks into your FCP project. Use XDCAM Transfer to log your selects and press the Import button at lower right. The clips will be imported to the Import Location and appear in your project's Browser window in FCP.
    Note that the Import Location for clips ingested through XDCAM Transfer is not linked to the Capture Scratch location you choose in FCP's System Settings. XDCAM Transfer has its own set of application preferences, so you'll want to select an appropriate import location by switching to tehe XDCAM Transfer application and choosing Preferences from the application menu ... the location is set under the Import tab of that Preferences window.
    In future, if you prefer, you can bring the XDCAM EX footage in directly from the original media / folder structure using FCP's own Log and Transfer interface, you just need to install the free Log and Transfer plugin available from Sony's website. Note that this does not work with XDCAM HD / MXF wrapped media, only XDCAM EX / MP4 media.

  • Hi, I accidentally deleted a project in trash. How do I get it back into final cut pro X. It is still sitting in trash,

    Hi, I accidentally deleted a project in trash. How do I get it back into final cut pro X. It is still sitting in trash.

  • I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

    I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

    Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP.  Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
    The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7.  So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random.  Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.
