  • FCP Batch Export Problems. Cutting Duration.

    Posted by Jared Prindle on March 28, 2008 at 7:20 pm

    System: FCP 6, osx 10.4.11
    Trying to Batch export hundreds of AVI’s to Apple Pro Res.

    Ok, I’ve asked for help on this before and was told that I need the “PRO” version of Flip4 mac.
    I purchased this and the problem remained. I was told by the reps at Flip that I need the Studio Version. I purchased that and still have the problem.

    I’m trying to export 100’s of 30 second AVI’s to Apple ProRes. After each batch export the clips get cut down to 10 seconds each.

    HEEEELP!

    You know something is wrong when you are the only one that replies to YOUR OWN questions. Oh well I guess I’ll start writing to myself…
    Flip4mac has told me to do so many things…delete files in library, repair permissions, reinstall 10.4.11, repair permissions again. Nothing is helping. No one wants to touch this on the forums I’ve written on.

    Ok, I’m going to ask an easier (hopefully way more fun to answer question).
    I have hundreds of AVI’s from a lil still camera I’m trying to edit in FCP. Since FCP wants to do a lot of rendering of these AVI’s I thought it would be a good idea to batch export to Apple ProRes (a codec I would think would run especially easy in FCP). Is there any easier way to edit with these AVI’s?

    2 weeks and ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

    Use Compressor to do your conversions?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it does work in compressor. Unfortunately I still cannot get it to work in FCP. Thanks again for the workaround though, I’ll use it.

    Glad it works.

    DOn’t see why you would use flip4mac and you should get your money back from them as they seem to have mislead you.

    Do I not need to use Flip4mac when exporting AVI’s? I’d be happy not to. Sorry my questions are getting more and more basic. I just don’t know much about low end consumer products…ie AVI’s from a basic still camera.

    Me neither. But you can watch AVIs in quicktime.

    I believe Mac users need Flip4mac to export any WMV or AVI.

    Huh?

    I thought you were importing AVIs not exporting?
