From FCPX, can you export a full size PNG or JPG from your screen record?

I meant a screen grab of what you are seeing in FCPX, but this helps too.

[Robert Randolph] “Is there not an easier way to conform the project frame size to the clip (instead of the clip to the project?)”

But don’t you want to crop to the size of a window that is part of a larger piece of media? FCPX will not be able to analyze the window size and create a project to that size. FCPX only sees the larger, original recording. You need to tell it what size to make the Project that fits the desired window.

Can you send a full size exported still frame of the entire UI?

I should add, if you want to do moves and zooms, then set your project to a multiple of that aspect ratio.

So if your window is 1000×1000, and you to do moves and zooms, set your project to 750×750 or 500×500 to allow more resolution to zoom in to from the original 1000×1000 window size.

Can you send a screen grab please?

You need to set the Project to your desired resolution/aspect ratio.

The easiest way to do this is to take a screen grab of the window you want to focus on, see what resolution that is, and set your Project to that size.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Set your Project to your output resolution (let’s call it 1280×720, or whatever resolution you want).

Add the screen recording to the Project. Set the spatial conform to “none” and adjust the media to fit your chosen resolution by positioning and scaling.

[Craig Seeman] “Blackmagic eGPU Thought this might be of interest relative to the new MBP”

And so it begins…

This is, indeed, kind of interesting. It definitely helps performance on a 13″ MBP, but the 15″ is less impressive. I guess this is the GPU that is in the 27″ iMac. It is also not upgradeable and more of an appliance. Baby steps, I guess.

Shot Notes X.

Forgot about that one. Thanks for the reminder.

I think you’d have to format the Excel doc in a specific way, but that shouldn’t be too hard. Much easier than typing it all in by hand again.

[Brian Covalt] “(those are probably the ones that didn’t finish, and now the media is in the media folder, but I don’t know how to tell FCP X that it’s there).
“

Yeah, you can’t without “cheating” or using FCPX for the copy action. It’s a shortcoming of the software.

The easy way is to use FCPX. You can hook up the drive, tell FCPX to copy the media, including Optimized/Proxy. As you found out, Wifi is not the best way to do this.

There’s an article about it here: https://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/tutorials/1828-cheating-final-cut-pro-x-proxies-to-store-where-you-want-by-using-aliases

I have not heard of an app to do this, but it’s a great idea.

Did you use final cut to move the media or did you just drag and drop?
