There must be a kid that has figured this out !!! FCP BATCH EXPORT

[Nick Meyers]

so what is it you;re trying to do?

is it something you can do in Compressor?

i think compressor can network render,
i know FCP cant.

Networked rendering is supposedly coming to FCP as part of the Leopard upgrade. Not sure if it will be in the upcoming updates or if it will more of a major upgrade like at NAB in April.

Everyone has nailed it – you need to set up Compressor for clustering;

You may need to reinstall compressor (as well) because likely, the installer had the auto clustering to ‘off’. Last, make sure you have a Gig E network, as you’ll be pushing around files and it’s important that they go fast, fast, fast.

Will check it out over the weekend !

Hi everyone,

cheers for the reply – I am trying to make the .fcp project file into a program so I don’t need to render/export 8 bit uncompressed it from FCP – As Walt mentioned mes thinks it is a update … soon – maybe !

Tried importing the .fcp file into Compressor and it didn’t want to know a thing about it

[Jeff Greenberg]

You can’t take the project over – but you can take a sequence (or several sequences) and choose “Send to compresor”…or alternatively export out a QT reference.

Hi Herbie,

I’m guessing you mean you have a whole load of sequences that you need to export for a number of different uses.

I don’t think FCP has a ‘batch export’ that will enable multiple sequences to be exported. However, exporting reference movie ( and not making it self-contained) will enable you to take this in to compressor – you can then set compressor to export as many flavours as you need. Save your export settings to use again for a quick turnaround, if you’re talking about an action you’ll repeat many times.

HTH,

Jason

Jeremy, you may be one of the only humans in this continuum who can claim to have gotten Qmaster to work. I bow.

Network rendering in my world is a sick joke. Adobe never made it work for After Effects and Apple’s promise is simply cruel.

Final Cut Pro does have a batch export. Simply choose all the sequences you want to batch export in the browser, right click and choose batch export. A new window pops up where you can choose the appropriate settings/destinations.
