    My suggestion works. Set up your Automator Application like this:

    Share from FCPX sends the output to my Desktop. The Automator application then moves the file to the “TEST” folder that I designated.

    Try this: save the Automator Action as an “Application.” Then set up your Share output options: Open with/Other … and point to the Automator application that will move the file.

  • Larry,

    What are the specifics regarding what frustrates you? What do you find easier to do in 7 as opposed to X?

    Paul, does the tool allow a simple change to the modern widescreen aspect ratio of approximately 2.39:1 adopted in 1973? Digitally for 2K that would be 2048×858.

    Rick,

    The tool is simply a matting kit that “crops” a 1.78:1 source to 2.35:1. The Compressor Presets handle the cropping upon output …

    Is your source footage 1920×1080? If so have a look at my 2.35:1 tool, Cinemascope Toolkit:

    >>it would be nice if FCP added some sort of sequence-wide custom blanking feature

    You mean a Letterbox Matte?

    If you are working with native 16:9 you might want to take a look at this tool that I built. I also have a 2.40:1 version.

    “Just spotted on a Google search and it seems that the D3100 isn’t compatible with FCPX, you would need to convert first.”

    Ah, ok. Then:

    Clipwrap

    iFFMpeg

    5DtoRGB Batch

    There’s a free version of 5DtoRGB that supports single clip conversions.

    Robin,

    You should have a .DMG that contains the clips, yes? If so, Mount it.

    This clips will then appear in the clips table. You don’t want to navigate to the Stream folder. Won’t work …

    I believe that Andy was just looking for a way to create a 4 channel clip so that he could conform it to the XDcam format and save it on a disc.

    Ah. I see and makes sense. Looks like T. came up with a viable solution …

    Mark,

    I don’t think Andy is looking to export four discrete mono “stems.” If this was the case you’ve explained how to do it.

    Andy, you mention:

    “… but still couldn’t find a way to simply create a 4 channel output from my 2 channel source ie Channels 1 and 2 taking Stereo L and R respectively and Channels 3 & 4 preferably just being empty.”

    Can you elaborate? What would be the purpose of the empty channels (3+4)?

    -paul.
