Compound Clip Problem in Final Cut Pro X

I've posted most of the details within the video, explaining the issue. Basically, I'm using a green screen and transitioning pictures behind me on screen. I'm also singing in the video, so I need my lips to match up to the audio in the background. Before I create the compound clip (to fix the black background issue), the timing is perfect. But once I create the compound clip, the timing is off and I can't seem to extend the trasition or figure out a way to get my lips back in sync.
The exact issue is shown in the video below

Look at a video called finalcut pro X tips and tricks on YouTube it shows how to fix your issue.

Insert clip problem in Final Cut Pro X

All of a sudden, when I grab a clip from the bin and drag it into the timeline, instead of the existing clips parting and making room for the new clip, the new clip is replacing whatever is on the timeline. Not sure how that has happened. Must be something accidentally switched on. Anyone know how to fix this?

Never mind. I figured it out. The T key had been depressed and so it was thus stuck in the mode that does that. I will leave this here in case anyone else has the same problem.

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

Timelapse problem with final cut pro x

I am looking to make a timelapse in final cut pro x using a lot of different pictures. I believe to do this you make them all into a compound clip and then retime them to however fast you want it to be. For whatever reason, it is not playing as if i put all of the photos in and when i play it fast it just shows one still image. any idea how to make it play fast, and work, and show all of them photos in a fast sequence playback other then a single photo or two?

I think your problem is that you are applying the retime to the compound clip. The problem is that when you do this you are retiming the compound clip as a whole, not each picture. This explains why you are seeing only 1 or 2 pictures, because you are cutting down on the length of time the compound clip is shown, not how long each picture is shown. You need to edit each picture. And rather than do a retime I would set the duration of each picture since retiming a still image isn't really necessary. Take the pictures out of the compound clip (or start a new project), put the pictures in the timeline, select all pictures in the timeline (CMD+A), CTRL+D (this is the keyboard shortcut for change duration of selected clips), enter in a numerical value, press return. The number you enter will effectively adjust the speed of the timelapse. By default FCPX displays the timecode as HH:MM:SS:FF so if you enter a one and a zero and then press enter the duration will be changed to 10 frames. The number of frames you want to choose for the duration you are setting will be up to you and the frame rate of the project. That should give you the result you are looking for. If you need any clarification I'll do what I can.

HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

Audio problem with Final Cut Pro x. (New to x)

Hello,
I recently switched over to Final Cut Pro x and am just now starting to get adjusted. I just ran into this problem and I'm having trouble solving on my own. Here you go...
I just imported a bunch of video into my "event" and went through and logged everything. Everything sounds fine until I drag my clips onto the timeline. Once I drag them down the audio gets lower and sounds very muffled. Does anyone know what would be the cause of this?
Thanks!
Clayton

What are the exact specs of the original media? Open in the QT player and report what it says in the movie inspector.

Problem inporting final cut pro documents

I import video and edit it using Final Cut Pro 5.0.1. I export it using QuickTime video with DV NSTC coding. I use iMovie to compress the video (usually around 10-15 gigs) to podcast them using iWeb. It works like a charm about half the time. The other half iMovie will not let me even import the video into it. It tells me that there is an unknown error and wont let me import the video. But then Ill try a different video, imported and exported the same way and it will work fine. I need some help. i cant figure out what the problem is.

I'll wager that while you moved the media/renders to an external drive, you didn't change the Waveform Cache, Thumbnail Cache, Autosave Vault, etc...

HSV filter in Motion makes clip disappear in Final Cut Pro

I'm running Motion 1.0.1 and Final Cut Pro HD 4.5. Whenever I add the HSV filter to a video clip in Motion, import the Motion file to Final Cut and play it in the timeline, it appears that the clip is missing.
Although I get no error messages from Final Cut saying that the clip is missing, it does not show up during playback. Every other layer from Motion plays as normal while the layer with the HSV filter applied to it looks as though it is gone. I should add that the video plays normally within Motion.
I could just export the video as a Quicktime movie, but I don't want to compress it.
Anyone had a similar issue?

That's a ridiculous answer. If there is a program designed to do something it will do it. If it's not operating properly there is a reason for it.

Graphic problem with Final cut pro X

Hello
Since some days I have graphical problems, it seems it is related to final cut pro X (10.0.8), all other programms are running well.
When I import events to my project the graphic is ok:
After modification, example: here stabilization on, I have some colored pixels in the preview:
After this happens once, I found some colored pixel also in other programs or on the background picture.
I'm not sure if I have a problem with final cut or with the graphic card. When I use my iMac without final cut, I found no problems
Can anybody help me? Thank you

Thank you for you answer.
I have 12 GB Memory and Final Cut Pro X was working properly until now.
The problem occure already at the preview windows, as soon as I close Final cut the graphic background looks good again.
I found that I have a similar problem also with iMovie, so I think it is maybe a hardware and not a software problem.
The hardware test does not show any problems, do you know another method to test the graphic card?

Problems with Final Cut Pro HD Academic Version?

Is anyone out here having problems with the academic version of Final Cut Pro?
1) Erratic capturing capability---Was able to capture for a few days, and now audio isn't in sync with video during playback.
2) Sudden shutdowns of program
3) Dropped frames
4) Scratch disk QT files were in sync, and now they're playing sluggishly, indicating dropped frames.
I'm no expert, but I've never had such erratic problems with a software program before. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. I've taken my computer in and gotten a second hard drive, had our operating system reinstalled.

Installation Problem with Final Cut Pro X Training Disc

How do I allow read/write permissions with the sparseimage final cut pro X apple pro training series disc? I can't copy the project files to my desktop.

Thanks for the response. I'm not quite sure I understand. I can't copy the file anywhere: The Desktop, HD, Even an external hard disk due to (Error-36) which has something to do with the read/write permissions. I've checked my disk and I'm listed as the administrator with both of these privileges. I can't seem to get read/write from the DVD itself. It's most confusing!!!!!! I'm able to download all other kinds of video from my external sources, but I can't seem to get an uncorrupted file into FCPX.
