Final Cut Pro Problem playing and exporting

I am having problem playing and exporting in final cut pro. I made an animation in maya and used batch render to render a folder of images then imported the folder to final cut pro but it doesn’t play properly in the video window or even when I exported to quicktime. Do u know why?
Please give me your response asap.
Thank you very much!

As the link that Russ posted describes, use quicktime player to open the image sequence and then do a save.  Bringing in an image sequence directly into fcp will cause extreme performance problems in my experience. 
Describe the setting (pixel dimensions, color space, etc) of the original files.  One important question is whether there is an alpha channel associated with the files.  You may want to change the codec when you do the save in quicktime player to something more fcp friendly like one of the flavors of prores.

  • Final Cut Pro X sharing and exporting issues?

    Hey!
    Okay so I made a Wedding video for my cousins wedding a couple of days ago. I want to share it to Facebook. I do everything correctly then it says " Preparing media for share.... " and it's loading. Then it just stops doing that and goes back to normal like I never shared it to Facebook. I checked my facebook and nothing was there. It's a 12 minute long video, so then I try YouTube. Same thing. The password and emails went through for both of them, and I also tried the lowest quality. Still the same thing! So now i'm looking for the export to just save it as a quicktime movie. I can't find it! I watched tutorials but it says I have to export from the share button above. It's not there, it's only there under file and only has the options for facebook, vimeo, youtube, apple devices etc etc.
    Can someone please help me? Thank you

    Watch Macbreak Studio Episode 194 and or Episode 203 where they show how to setup sharing presets.

  • Motion and Final Cut Pro Problem

    I recently updated my computer and went with the new Quad-Core Mac. I had to reload the Final Cut Pro Studio software, and I've got a problem that is vexing me to no end.
    I can import a Motion template (one that I've designed and even the Apple produced templates), but I try to view it in Viewer or when I place the Motion template on the timeline it won't work. Nothing visible on either the Viewer or the Canvas when I try to playback. I can right click and open the template in Motion and have the elements appear and work properly, but nada once it comes back into Final Cut.
    What gives?
    John

    I find the roundtrip to Motion to be less than useful when there are a lot of layers involved. What works better for me is to export a movie using the same settings you're using in FCP and then import that. If the settings in Motion match the FCP settings, no rendering should be required. Unfortunately, you can't then use the "open in editor" function to fix anything... but must reopen the Motion project and export again.

  • Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Quicktime 7 compatibility issues. Error 39!

    I see some people saying Quicktime 7 is not compatible with Final Cut 4.5 and some saying it is.
    I upgraded to 10.3.9 and then Quicktime 7 and I started getting error 39 at this one spot in my timeline and then crashing if I tried to play just a few seconds ahead of that spot. I tried trashing the prefs but that didn't do any good. The individual files play fine outside the timeline so it isn't corrupt media. I tried rerendering the effects that are at that point but that didn't help. I tried copying the entire timeline to a new sequence and that didn't help.
    The strange thing was that when I took the part of the movie that was having trouble and deleted it from the timeline it still got error 39 when just playing over the empty timeline where the media used to be! This led me to realize that the problem lay in some Quicktime audio effects I had about a second in front ot the error 39 spot. I took off the effects from that audio but it didn't help. Then I deleted that audio from the timeline and just pasted it back in from the original clip and then it finally got to working.
    Now I know nothing about the software, but I thought there might be some connection between the fact that I had effects that FCP labels as "quicktime effects" on there from my days in Quicktime 6.5, then upgraded to Q7, and perhaps those old effects don't work in Q7? I don't know.
    So, my immediate problem is solved but I thought this experience may be of use to someone else. And perhaps some compatibility issues can be brought to light.

    I would assume the Software Update program has sufficient logic within it to detect that my friend is running Final Cut Pro 4.0 and it would therefore be disastrous to install QuickTime 7.3, thus removing QuickTime 7.3 from her list of suggested updates. Would someone at Apple please fix this?
    Sorry, but Quicktime is a component for SO MANY things, not just FCP. Sorry, but the OS doesn't detect that older versions of software are on there and won't be compatible...this is where you need to have a little knowledge. And sorry, but you need to have a little knowledge. If things are working, DO NOT UPGRADE unless it has been tested and cleared. In the case of FCP 4...it has not.
    Rule of thumb...if you use older software, you have to stick to older versions of the OS and components that that software relies on.
    How many things were broken with Vista? So many that the HUGE community let out a cry and now XP is available again configured on machines or as a stand alone buy. And no, Vista didn't warn that certain applications wouldn't work either.
    You gotta research and find out. This place here...this forum...is a FANTASTIC place to find stuff like this out.
    BTW...Apple doesn't read these forums, only us users. Gotta submit feedback here:

  • I have Final cut Pro HD sequence and I need to burn this on a DVD

    I have Final cut Pro HD sequence and I need to burn this on a DVD, my sequence lasts 1 hr and 33 minutes. What are my options? Is it better to export as a Quick Time movie or using the compressor? I'm new to the compressor just learning, please help.

    Select your sequence in the browser window, go to the File menu and choose Export Using Compressor.
    When compressor opens, choose the DVD best quality settings, 120 minutes.
    For audio and video both, choose both the m2v video and the AC3 audio. (Dolby Professional)
    Choose a destination for your files, and hit submit.
    When it's finished, import these files into your DVD SP project, and make your DVD.
    Be sure to choose the 16:9 anamorphic settings.

  • Final Cut Pro 5.1 and a Macbook

    I am looking to buy Final Cut Studio. I was hoping to get some feedback on this question: Must you have a MacbookPro to run Final Cut Pro 5.1 (and the rest of Final Cut Studio), or will it run on a Macbbok without any problems? I would really like to hear from People who has actually have run Final Cut Pro 5.1 on a Macbook and what their experiences were. I know the Macbook does not have the ATI Mobilty Radeon X1600 graphics card like the MacBookPro does. So was that an issue for anyone?
      Other OS  

    Here's Apple's official position: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303782
    However, there are several people running most of the Studio Apps successfully ... except possibly Motion. With FCS2, chances are Color won't run either. You should be able to search here for similar postings; this topic comes up frequently.

  • Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0 - 5 minute captures then freeze

    Something I have found with Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0.
    After Updating to Tiger - 10.4.11 and Quicktime 7.4.1 - Both Pro 4.5 and Express 3.0 will not capture more then 5 minutes and 12 seconds. If you are having this issue the solution I used to fix both Pro and Express issues was an update on the software. Final Cut Pro 5 fixed the problem (or 6 if you can) and with Final Cut Express, version 3.5 fixed the issue but if you can go with FCX 4.
    Let me know if this helped or if you have found a different solution. Downgrading the os might help but that is too much of a pain and it's time to upgrade the software anyway.

    #29: Need AGP Graphics card
    Shane's Stock Answer #29 – Error: “Need AGP Graphics card”
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302667
    The Final Cut software is looking for a graphics card type that is required for that version of the software. FCP 4 and FCP 4.5 were released when AGP cards were the requirement. Attempting to open this on a Mac with a PCIe graphics card, such as an Intel Mac, will cause this error. FCP 4.5 is not supported on the Intel Macs. If you happen to have a PowerPC Quad processor Mac and get this error, you can try this hack:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/finalcut_pro_on_oldmacs.html
    You can also press the "esc" key as you launch FCP. This enables FCP to open and run, but know that it might not work optimally.
    If that doesn’t work, or if you have an Intel Mac, you are going to have to upgrade to a supported version of FCP…and FCP 6, part of Final Cut Studio 2, is the latest version.

  • Final Cut Pro X Image Sequence Export missing frames per second option?

    I am using the trial version of Final Cut Pro X.  I can export an image sequence but it will only allow me to do so at 30 frames per second -every single frame! 
    So a 10 min movie takes half an hour to export 20,000+ frames that no one on earth has time to look thru.
    In my old Final Cut Express I was able to choose 1 or 2 frames per second, which was just right.
    What am I missing?
    Do I need to buy Quicktime Pro or Compressor to allow me to export image sequences without exporting every frame?
    Why would Apple even have an image sequence export if it only allows you to export every frame, or it that only in the trial version?
    Thank you

    I found a free option for you, if you don't already have Compressor 4.
    In FCPX create your movie. Then SHARE as a Master File.
    Get MPEG Streamclip, which is a free app available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your Master File into MPEG Streamclip.
    In MPEG Streamclip, select FILE/EXPORT TO OTHER FORMATS.
    In FORMAT: choose IMAGE SEQUENCE
    In OPTIONS, choose your frame rate.

    Are you using Mavericks. If so you should update FCPX

    As far as I understand, FCPX doesn't support OMF exports, unless something has changed recently. There are some workarounds that you can do, see this post. It looks a little cumbersome though. Hope that helps you further.
