  • Exporting Quicktime Files from Final Cut Pro
    Exporting Quicktime files from Final Cut Pro This is the only supported method for getting video out of Final Cut Pro as Quicktime files in the Digital Studio. Other approaches or settings may work, but require testing first. Exporting material from Apple ProRes 422 files is slow, plan ahead and test early if you are planning to run down to the last minute when finishing a project. Before starting the export process, be sure to save your Final Cut Pro project and ensure no extra material is on the timeline. Typing Shift-Z while the timeline is active will zoom to show all media. If you have extra clips after the end of your video, you must either set an out point on the timeline at the desired end of the video or delete the extraneous clips. Failure to do so will result in a longer video (and export process) than expected. Make sure the Timeline is the active window in Final Cut Pro by clicking in it. File > Send To > Compressor... In the Settings Window, find the setting at Apple > Formats > QuickTime > QuickTIme H.264 and drag it to the export entry in the Batch/Untitled window. This applies the proper file format to your export. The default export location is locked on DIgital Studio computers due to user account access and must be changed before exporting your video is possible. To do that, click once on the entry in the Batch/Untitled window, then select Target > Destination > Other and point the export location to your external hard drive and click “Open” Click “Submit” in the Batch/Untitled window, and again in the dialog that opens up.

  • FCS Remover User Manual 1
    FCS Remover User Manual 1 FCS Remover User Manual FCS Remover enables you to completely remove Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Server from your system. This is essential as a troubleshooting aid or when upgrading to a major new version of the software. Last updated 09/15/14 FCS Remover User Manual 2 Quick Start 1. You will be presented with the following screen upon launching the application: 2. If you wish to uninstall all components of Final Cut Studio and you have no other Apple Pro Apps such as Logic or Shake on your system, skip to Step 4. 3. If you only wish to remove certain components, use the check boxes to select and deselect them or use the Preset dropdown menu at the top of the window. Last updated 09/15/14 FCS Remover User Manual 3 The following presets are available: All – Selects all components. All Final Cut Studio / Express – This selects all Final Cut Studio / Express components and not Final Cut Server. All Final Cut Server – This selects all Final Cut Server components and not Final Cut Studio. Compressor and Qmaster Only – This selects only Compressor and Qmaster, as these are the most commonly reinstalled applications. Maximum Compatibility – This removes Final Cut Studio but does not remove Final Cut Studio components that are shared by other Apple ProApps such as Logic and Shake. This allows you to remove Final Cut Studio without harming your other ProApp installations. Receipts only – This only removes receipts. Receipts are used by the Final Cut Studio installer to keep track of what has been installed, so removing only receipts is a way of causing the installer to overwrite the original files on the disk without actually removing them.

  • Final Cut Pro Help
    Sending from Final Cut Pro to Compressor You can export a Browser clip or sequence directly from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by using the Send to Compressor command. Exporting media from Final Cut Pro to Compressor works nearly the same as using Compressor as a standalone application. The main difference is that Final Cut Pro renders media directly to Compressor during the encoding process, so you don’t need to create an intermediate QuickTime movie. When Should You Export Directly to Compressor? The advantage of exporting a sequence to Compressor directly from Final Cut Pro is that rendering happens as part of the transcoding process, potentially saving you time and eliminating unwanted artifacts. Compression and chapter markers in your Final Cut Pro sequence can be included in the resulting compressed media files. When imported into DVD Studio Pro, the chapter markers automatically appear in the Track Editor. Depending on the length of the movie, the format you are exporting to, and your computer’s capabilities, exporting can take a significant amount of time. Another option is to use the Share feature in Final Cut Pro, which can process export sessions in the background. For more information, see Using Share. To send a sequence or clip from Final Cut Pro to Compressor 1. In the Browser, select a sequence or clip you want to export. If you want to export only a specific segment of a clip or sequence, set In and Out points in your clip or sequence. 2. Choose File > Send To > Compressor. Compressor opens and the sequence or clip you exported from Final Cut Pro appears as a new encoding job in a Compressor Batch window.

  • Review of Final Cut
    Vol. 3, No. 1 (June 2009), pp. 126-131 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4430 Final Cut Pro from Apple, Inc. Reviewed by FELICITY MEAKINS , University of Manchester Final Cut Pro is a digital video editing software package that, is now popular among professional film editors. Since its release in 1999, a number of major feature films have been created using Final Cut Pro, including Cold Mountain (2003) and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008). Now it is also gaining some currency among language docu- mentation and revitalization practitioners for its ability to integrate documentation materi- als such as recordings and transcriptions into stand-alone media forms such as videos or DVDs. In this respect, Final Cut Pro fills a gap in the current range of documentation tools. This review gives an overview of how to create a DVD using Final Cut Pro, and shows how to use it to make recordings and associated annotations more accessible to speakers in com- munities where media players are now commonplace. It also demonstrates that Final Cut Pro is a way not only to package pre-existing material, but also to enrich documentation efforts by creatively layering video footage, additional sound such as voiceovers or songs, and subtitles in the traditional and vernacular languages. Final Cut Pro is not very intuitive to begin using; however, it does not differ greatly in functionality or format from other popular editing software, such as Adobe Premier. It also comes with the usual set of opaque terminology—for example,“slugs” and “rendering”— which, although common to all editing programs, can slow down the first-time user.

Compressor makes it easy to assemble these items into a single iTunes Store package, which is the format accepted by the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store supports up to 4K high-dynamic-range (HDR) video, which can display over one billion colors, compared to 16 million in standard dynamic range (SDR). If you have an HDR video source file and Dolby Vision metadata, Compressor can instruct the iTunes Store to use the two assets to automatically create a combined SDR/HDR package. After creating an iTunes Store package in Compressor, you can work with an Apple-certified delivery partner to submit your movie to the iTunes Store. These partners ensure that your submission is complete and that it meets all iTunes Store specifications. Delivery partners also provide billing and support services after your movie becomes available for sale. See iTunes Delivery Partners below for more information.
