Import
Can I import projects
from Final Cut Pro 7
into Final Cut Pro X?
Final Cut Pro X includes an all-new project
architecture structured around a trackless
timeline and connected clips. In addition,
Final Cut Pro X features new and redesigned
audio effects, video effects, and color grading
tools. Because of these changes, there is no
way to “translate” or bring in old projects
without changing or losing data. But if
you’re already working with Final Cut Pro 7,
you can continue to do so after installing
Final Cut Pro X, and Final Cut Pro 7 will
work with Mac OS X Lion. You can also
import your media files from previous
versions into Final Cut Pro X.
Can I import my video
directly into Final Cut
Pro X as I could in Final
Cut Pro 7?
Yes. Final Cut Pro X allows you to import
video from a wide range of devices, including
many AVCHD-based cameras and DSLR cameras.
You can find a list of supported cameras here:
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/cameras/en/.
The list will grow as we continue to test and
qualify new cameras.
Some camera manufacturers will need to
update their import plug-ins to work with
the new 64-bit architecture of Final Cut Pro,
and we are working with them to provide
these updates as quickly as possible.
Until then, you can use your camera
manufacturer’s import software to convert
video for Final Cut Pro X.
For example, Sony offers an XDCAM Transfer
application that allows you to convert XDCAM
video without transcoding so it can be imported
into Final Cut Pro X.
You can find more information here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4724.
If you are working with RED cameras,
you can use the free RED software
REDCINE-X, designed to transcode
RED RAW video to
ProRes for use inFinal Cut Pro X:
Editing
Can I edit my tape-based
workflow with Final Cut Pro X?
Yes, in a limited manner. Final Cut Pro X
is designed for modern file-based workflows
and does not include all the tape capture and
output features that were built into Final Cut
Pro 7. Final Cut Pro X does support FireWire
import for DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50,
DVCPRO HD, and HDV. In addition,
companies like AJA and Blackmagic
offer free deck control software that
allows you to capture from tape and
output to tape.
Does Final Cut Pro X
support multicam editing?
Not yet, but it will. Multicam editing is
an important and popular feature, and
we will provide great multicam support
in the next major release. Until then,
Final Cut Pro X offers some basic support
with automatic clip synchronization,
which allows you to sync multiple video
and audio clips using audio waveforms,
creating a Compound Clip that can be
used for simple multicam workflows.
Does Final Cut Pro X
support external monitors?
Yes. If you have a second computer
monitor connected to your Mac,
Final Cut Pro X gives you options
to display the interface across multiple
monitors. For example, you can place
a single window — such as the Viewer
or the Event Browser — on the second
monitor, while leaving the other windows
on your primary monitor. Like previous
versions, Final Cut Pro X relies on
third-party devices to support external
video monitoring. We’ve been working
with third-party developers in our beta
program to create drivers forFinal Cut
Pro X, and AJA has already
posted beta drivers for its popular
Kona card:
http://www.aja.com/support/konaNEW/kona-3g.php.
Can I save different
versions of my project?
Yes. Final Cut Pro X automatically
saves your project during the editing process,
so you never lose your work. If you want
to save a version of your project, with
or without duplicate media, select it in
the Project Library and choose File >
Duplicate Project.
Are keyboard shortcuts in Final Cut Pro X
different from those in Final Cut Pro 7?
Many keyboard shortcuts for navigation, start/end marking,
and tools are the same in Final Cut Pro X andFinal Cut Pro 7.
Some keyboard shortcuts have changed to support new features.
Final Cut Pro X offers powerful keyboard customization, and you
can view and modify keyboard shortcuts at any time by
choosing Final Cut Pro > Commands > Customize.
Can I use my third-party
plug-ins in Final Cut Pro X?
You’ll be able to use them as soon as they are updated.
Because Final Cut Pro X has a modern 64-bit architecture,
third-party plug-ins must be 64-bit too. Final Cut Pro X already
supports 64-bit Audio Units plug-ins. For motion graphics,
third-party developers can build effects, titles, transitions,
and generators as templates in Motion 5 for use directly in
Final Cut Pro X. Developers can also build 64-bit FxPlug
2 plug-ins for Motion 5, and integrate those plug-ins into
templates that can be used in Final Cut Pro X. These templates,
together with any associated FxPlug 2 plug-ins, will work in
Final Cut Pro X even if Motion is not installed on the computer.
Media Management
Can I specify a scratch disk location?
Yes. When you import media, you can specify the Event and
the drive where you’d like to put it. You can also specify
where you’d like to put your project. In Final Cut Pro X, a
project and its rendered media always travel together
in the same folder, so it’s easy to move projects between
different hard drives and computers.
Can I share projects with other editors?
Yes. You have several options for sharing projects.
You can hand over just the project file, and the
recipient can reconnect the project to his or her own
copies of the Event. Or you can send the complete
project and Event as a package to another editor.
Final Cut Pro X includes options for duplicating, moving,
and consolidating projects and associated media to
streamline sharing between editors.
Can I store media in locations
other than my system drive?
Yes. Turning off the “Copy files to Final Cut Events folder”
option leaves the imported files where they are currently
located. You can also move the project and associated media
at any point during the editing process by dragging the project
to another mounted hard drive within the Project Library.
Can I hide Events that I am
not working on?
Yes. You can hide Events in Final Cut Pro X by moving them
out of the Final Cut Events folder. In the Finder, navigate to the
/Users/username/Movies folder and create a new folder. Then move
the Events you are not using out of the Final Cut Events folder
and into your new folder. The moved Events will no longer appear
in Final Cut Pro X. If your Events are located on an external drive,
you can move the Events to a new folder on that drive, or you can simply unmount the drive.
Export
Can Final Cut Pro X export XML?
Not yet, but we know how important XML export is to our
developers and our users, and we expect to add this functionality
to Final Cut Pro X. We will release a set of APIs in the next few
weeks so that third-party developers can access the next-generation
XML in Final Cut Pro X.
Does Final Cut Pro X support OMF,
AAF, and EDLs?
Not yet. When the APIs for XML export are available, third-party
developers will be able to create tools to support OMF, AAF, EDL,
and other exchange formats. We have already worked with
Automatic Duck to allow you to export OMF and AAF from
Final Cut Pro X using Automatic Duck Pro Export
FCP 5.0. More information is available on the Automatic Duck
website: http://automaticduck.com/products/pefcp/.
Can I send my project to a sound editing
application such as Pro Tools?
Yes; you can export your project in OMF or AAF format
using Automatic Duck Pro Export FCP 5.0.
More information is available on the Automatic Duck
website: http://automaticduck.com/products/pefcp/.
Does Final Cut Pro X allow you to
assign audio tracks for export?
Not yet. An update this summer will allow you to use metadata
tags to categorize your audio clips by type and export them
directly from Final Cut Pro X.
Can I customize my export settings?
Yes. Compressor 4, available from the Mac App Store for $49.99,
allows you to create a wide variety of custom export settings that
you can use in Final Cut Pro X. The most popular export options and
formats, including ProRes and H.264, are already built into Final Cut Pro X.
Purchase
Can I purchase a volume license?
Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4 Commercial and Education
Volume Licensing will be available soon via the Apple Online Store
for quantities of 20 or more. After purchasing, customers will receive
redemption codes they can use to download the applications from the Mac App Store.
