Re: Trash and Restore FCP 6 Preference Files

There are four files to trash when trying to trash the preferences.
workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs
workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut ProObj Cache
workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut ProProf Cache
When you delete these files and restart FCP each of these will be rebuilt.

  • New Canon EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro

    Just thought your would like to know. From canonrumors.com
    http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/04/canon-updates-e1-plugin-for-fcp/
    Canon today announces the latest update for EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro – the company’s custom-developed software application that provides quicker and easier editing of EOS Movie footage in Apple’s Final Cut Pro software suite.
    Launching to coincide with the start of the 2011 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will make the importing of EOS Movie files even easier, allowing users to transfer files from any folder, without needing to mirror the folder structure on the camera itself.
    The update also enables smoother importing from Canon’s EOS 7D, EOS 5D Mark II and EOS-1D Mark IV models, allowing users to import footage without requiring the THM file generated by the camera.
    Originally launched in February 2010, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro is designed to quickly and seamlessly convert EOS Movie footage from Canon’s leading range of EOS DSLR cameras to Apple’s high-quality ProRes 422 codec. The plug-in allows users to convert footage at approximately twice the speed of Apple’s standard conversion, creating a smoother workflow for the rapidly growing number of videographers shooting HD video content on DSLR cameras.
    EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will be available to download for free from 25th April 2011.

    And I just spent over an hour yesterday explaining to a client how utterly essential it was to maintain the exact folder structure for proper log & transfer:/
    If I say that once a day to students, I say it a thousand times.
    On top of that I just started Carbon Copy Clone today with all my updates in my editing lab. Not the end of the world but it's a little time consuming on 80 stations. Oh well.

  • Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7

    Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7
    I just installed the new version of final cut pro 10 and the canon plugin-E1 version 1.4 for the canon 5D mk III but after starting final cut pro I can not find the Log and transfer button., with the result I cannot import my files.
    Is there a solution for this problem.

    There is no L&T function in FCPX.
    The import media dialogue window does what you want.
    OS versions later than 10.6 should be fine importing Canon DSLRs.

  • Canon EOS 5D Mark II viedos and Final Cut Pro

    Photographer Vincent Laforet have posted the original clips made with the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. This camera could be record movies 1920x1080p in H.264.
    The clips could be downloaded here: http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/2008/09/26/original-raw-clips-from-reverie-now-av ailable-for-download/
    I've tested this video on two MacBook Pro, a 15" and a 17" HD, all with 4GB of RAM and Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz.
    The video is flicking every 5 seconds, on Quicktime Pro and Final Cut Pro 6.
    I've created a Sequence in HDTV 30fps and imported the clips. The next step was to import the clips. FCP asked me to change the video and audio settings of the timeline with the settings of the MKII. The video is flicking every 5 seconds.
    I can't imagine what computer I should use.
    I've seen the Xserve in the making of and I think that Vincent have used its to edit the footage with FCP. A last model of professional laptop from Apple is unable to do this.

    Hey Guys:
    According to a recent analysis by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, the h264 video captured in camera is one I-frame for each 15 P-frame. No B-frames. You can read the full report here:
    http://nrkbeta.no/video-test-clips-from-canon-5d-mark-ii-gets-analyzed/#comment- 58420
    I've posted a short video tutorial explaining the process to convert the source h264 files to Apple ProRes 422. IMHO, converting to the i-frame Apple ProRes 422 codec as early in the post process as possible will save time and headaches down the line. You can check out the video tutorial here:
    www.petersalvia.wordpress.com.
    Theoretically, by converting to ProRes you could work with the footage on a PC if you install the ProRes Decoder for Windows. That decoder is available here:

    Hope this helps!

  • Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro Now Available...

    There's been so much talk about the 5D, 7D, 550D on this board that I'm going to point to the EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro. This is supposed to speed to transcode of Canon Camera H.264 to FCP-friendly formats and let you add more metadata along the way.
    Enjoy!
    Canon webpage. Under Drivers & Downloads. Once you select your OS, "Mac OS X", the download should appear near the top of the "Software" list.
    Note: (from Quickstart Guide)
    This plug-in software allows you to convert MOV movies shot with an EOS Digital camera into ProRes files at high speed in the (Log & Transfer) window of Apple's Final Cut Pro.
    FWIW: The quick start guide says cameras involved are 7D, 5D, 1D, no mention of 550D. Sort of odd.

    For users in North America to make the Canon EOS REBEL T2i work (550D for Europe):
    1. Install the new Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...nloadDetailAct)
    2. Go to Library/Application Support/ProApps/MIO/RAD/Plugins/CanonE1.RADPLug/Contents/Resources/
    2. Open up cameras.plist
    3. After the 7D info add the following lines of code (keeping to the coding structure):
    <key>T2i</key>
    <array>
    <string>Canon EOS REBEL T2i</string>
    </array>
    4. Save the text file. Close it. Everything should work now.
    Cheerz.

  • Canon EOS Movie plugin-E1 not working

    Can anyone tell me how to properly install the Canon EOS Movie plugin-E1 properly? Ive tried putting it into the library/application support/final cut pro system support/plugin folder but nothing happens when i try to log and transfer...
    Any ideas?

    This plugin is available for download from Canon site in installer form. You need to launch the installer and don't have to copy any files by hand.

  • Problems with Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro

    After about two weeks of using the Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro, I've found some clips are cut short when they are transcoded to Prores and appear in the browser. Has anyone else had this happen?

    Yes, just started using this and noticed pretty soon afterwards. Seems to happen when I start clicking around or doing anything that uses the processor more than just surfing the web, but that's just anecdotal. I immediately stopped and started using MPEG Streamclip, but I really want the timecode.
    Most recently, I had Log and Transfer open, transcoding some 7D footage, and a few of the clips didn't come in—they were left with the red stop-sign symbol/exclamation point. When I clicked to "retry," it stopped importing the current clip and started on the clip I retried. I clicked "retry" on another unimported clip, and again, the clip import stopped and the new clip began processing. I let it go through and, after the checking the footage, I discovered it had been incorrectly named the first clip's filename! Needless to say, I hand-checked every file to make sure it was the right duration (a few weren't), deleted the files from the Capture Scratch folder, and reimported—making sure I didn't touch the computer.
    I hope they fix this bug, whatever it is.
    BTW, I've experienced it on two separate Mac Pros.

  • New Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 and FCE

    Does anyone know if this plugin will work in FCE?
    here is an info link:
    http://blog.planet5d.com/2010/03/canon-eos-movie-plugin-e1-for-final-cut-pro-now -available/
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The plugin also allows you to convert to a regular Apple intermediate codec, >which is supported in FCE though.
    That reference is to FCP7 only and not FCP6 that does have the same AIC as Express, check the details:
    http://blog.planet5d.com/43l
    I don't use FCP7 and cannot access a Canon cam to test.
    I'm not at all sure if the mentioned AIC in FCP7 is a new codec or a typo.??

  • Canon EOS movie plugin: can't convert; status = !

    Hi there!
    I'm trying to log and transfer the H264 files from my Canon 7d into Final Cut 7 via the Canon EOS movie plugin.
    (The new one: EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro 1.3) from 04/17/12.
    This happened with the version before that as well, I never followed up the problem then...
    The Plugin is recognized, I can select it in the log/transfer prefs, but after dragging it down to the converting window, it calculates for a sec then just shows a red ! under status. (see pic)
    What can this be? Or what am I doing wrong?
    I restarted Final Cut / the Computer /
    I threw away the prefs, under user/library/prefrences/com.apple.FinalCut(pro)          (there where two I guess one is from the X version?)
    thanks for your help!
    Joe

    Thanks for your help guys!
    Hi mishmumken!
    It says "Error: Stream Error" (Translated from german: Fehler: Stream-Fehler)
    Why would there be a stream error??
    @Michael
    What more does this Application do? (Pref Mangager)
    I trashed the prefs in
    user/prefrences/com.apple.FinalCut.plist (& the com.apple.FinalCutpro.plist one)
    are there more prefs to delete?
    Regarding the installation, I did as described...
    For conversion I use the great free MPEG Streamclip App.. http://www.squared5.com/  Ill check the ones you mentioned.
    I would prefer to do the conversion in FCP but I guess I can do it externally.
    Would love to get the EOS Plug to work though...

  • Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro

    I'm sure you've seen this before and I've tried to search for a thread on it here and fell asleep, so sorry if this is a repeat.
    I have edited projects in Premiere Pro (on my PC) and I have tried to transfer them in FCP. It worked with the exception of two things:
    1. the error message, "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro"
    2. the quality *****! watching it on the playback in FCP it looks great, but then when I burn it to Disc it's pixelated in spots and generally has a lower quality picture.
    I know that it's Standard Def. and can't expect the best, but I've done it before (once or twice) and it didn't seem this bad.
    Can someone suggest anything to help the quality? Should I run my AVIs through MPEG Steamclip to make it a QT file and if so what is the best format in that since there are many to choose from and most I'm not familiar with?
    Thank you,
    Crayton

    I did compress them to DV NTSC then burned it to DVD and the result was no bueno.
    I thought what I would do is try compressing them again before I send them on over to DVDSPRO. Here is a simplified break down of the situation:
    - I have edited the raw footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. They were recorded and captured as SD.
    - I rendered them in Premiere, then transfered the rendered AVI file to FCP.
    - When went to place the files in FCP, I received the warning message; "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro" but I went forward anyways and it allowed me to do so.
    - Originally I went ahead and compressed them from FCP to QT Movie as a DV NTSC, which ended up poorly.
    - Therefore my question is, should I compress them using another file type (other then DV NTSC)? Which leads me to another program that I have called MPEG Streamclip, which offers tons of file types of which I am unfamiliar with most. I want the best quality of course but don't know what file type is the highest going from AVI to a format that can be accepted by FCP and ultimately DVDSPRO. Keeping in mind that I only have FCP5 and do not have Prores.
    Did that make sense?
    Thank you again,
    Crayton

  • Quicktime 7.1.5 Doesn't Install Movie To Apple TV in Final Cut Pro 3

    Quicktime 7.1.5 Doesn't Install Movie To Apple TV in Final Cut Pro 3. A bug? Or on purpose on the part of Apple?!

    There has been some reports that exporting to Apple TV doesn't show up in some versions of FCP. If it doesn't show up in your version of FCP please read this thread:

  • ATY radeon x1900 not compatible with Final Cut Pro X ???

    It looks like my ATY radeon x1900 Graphics card is not compatible with Final Cut Pro X and the new motion and compressor?
    I have a Macpro 2 x 3Ghz quad core Intel Xeon with 16gb RAM
    Any suggestion to which card I should Purchase?

    There are several threads here and abroad that mention the installer will notice and approve the ATI 5770 in older mac pros.
    I just now bought a 5770 from Apple's online store for my 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 so I'd have the compatibility if I ever decided to upgrade -- assuming at some point they'll run out of stock and not make any more.
    Keep in mind the 5770 has 1 dual link DVI and 2 mini display ports so you might need to pick up necessary adapters depending on your monitors.
    Hopefully FCPX will be usable in the near future and an upgrade will be pragmatic.
    (I sure hope they don't pull this stunt with the next Logic upgrade.)
    I may have a 1900XT for sale soon.

  • Canon EOS Movie Plugin Inop

    Canon EOS Movie plug in for Final Cut Pro is inoperative. The log and transfer window inadvertently got changed so just the screen viewer shows. I can not see the thumb views of the clips or the queue window The arrows that usually allow adjusting of window size show but do not allow clicking and grabbing for adjustment.
    Any suggestions on how to revert back to the original log and transfer window or how to find the preferences to trash and start over? Reinstll?

  • Exporting .Mov files at 24fps for Final Cut Pro 5

    I work at an animation production house and we're trying to export .mov files from QT 7.1.2 at 24fps so they won't have to be rendered in a FCP project which is a 720p project with a frame size of 1280x720, we're experimenting with two codecs. We're using Motion Jpeg A and Photo Jpeg, selecting 24fps but for some reason they import into FCP 5 at 10fps. It's as though QT isn't outputting accurate 24fps .mov files. When I export .mov files from FCP they import back into FCP without having to be rendered. What's the difference between the ones exported from QT vs. the .mov files exported from FCP. We're using the exact same settings and files....? The reason we need to use QT to do this is because it needs to be a somewhat automated process (lots of stills to work with) and our PA's are working on Windows with QT only.

    You should post your inquiry at Final Cut Pro section for better support. Anyway, Final Cut Pro does not always recognize the frame rate correctly, depending on which application (and possibly which codec) you used to compress video. For example, Snapz Pro X and Adobe After Effects don't get along with Final Cut Pro in this respect. Furthermore, compressing video in H.264 will be a bad idea. So simply adjust the size of Canvas so that it won't cover the whole screen. In this way, you can even replay video on Canvas and even send it for final production.
