Final Cut Pro search window does not SORT.

I am an editor and I use Final Cut Pro everyday. I recently had to upgrade to LION because of a wonderful Quicktime update that corrupts
video codec files on Snow Leopard. So now that I have LION I can actually edit again. But, when I try to import files into Final Cut the
search window wont sort my files by date, name, etc...
It wont actually sort by anything. Every other program works fine for that, mainly After Effects. I have to manually go find files that I used
to give a certain naming system to because I could find them easily by typing in one word.
I also cannot search the Network anymore at my office which is a real pain. We dump all our finished projects onto a huge server. Now
when I need to find an old file I have to know the exact date it was made or else I have to go searching through every folder in our server.
Any body know of any way to fix these issues without having to rewrite code which I really don't want to do with my company computer.
Also our IT people refuse to learn anything at all about MAC computers which is SO helpful...

Im not sure what you are referring to. Maybe I didn't explain the problem correctly.
Final Cut seems as if it is not indexing the files. Most of the time it won't even show me dates (modified, created, etc...) just dashes. Then if I  do what you are describing and try to sort it at all it stays in the same exact order. I can't even sort alphabetically.

  • AppleScript: Final Cut Pro X library does not open! FCP X AppleScript reference?

    I am trying to automate a few things within Final Cut Pro X. In the Apple Script Editor, in the list of Dictionaries (Library Window), FCP X does show up. But when I click on "Open Dictionary", nothing happens. Any idea why and how I could get around this?
    I would really like to know, which FCP X functions are available from AppleScript. Thus, I don't necessarily need the Dictionary in the AppleScript Editor. Any other list would do as well. But I can not find some.
    I checked whether FCP X is actually supposed to have an AppleScript dictionary by using the script mentioned on this page
    http://books.gigatux.nl/mirror/applescript/0596008503/applescripttmm-chp-12.html
    The answer is yes.

    I am trying to find out the same thing, Till have you found an answer to this? Can you contact me directly please as I'd like you to help me with scripting.

    Trash preferences and repair permissions in Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't free Share up I'd drag app to trash, reinstall it and run repair permissions again.
    Good luck.

    BTW, not that it matters a lot, but this is the Compressor forum.

  • Final Cut Pro 7.03 does not start up in Mac OSX Lion

    Hi,
    Upgraded yesterday to Lion, and since then my FCP7.03 does not start up anymore. It says 'PID: 478, Event: hang in the report section after a forced quit. Can anybody help me out, I got work to do!
    Thanx

    What procedure did you use to uninstall FCP?
    Trashing the app itself is not uninstalling. There are many components at system level, some in folders that are normally invisible to the user. If one of those files was damaged, the problem is still there. To completely remove FCP and/or other parts of FCS, use this free tool.
    After installing a major upgrade such as Lion, you should have used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the boot drive. Did you do this?
    The first step in troubleshooting FCP is to trash it's Preference files. You can do this by hand or use this free tool.

  • Final Cut Pro 10.1 does not detect Promise Pegasus

    HI,
    I would like to change my location of where events are stored at for FCPX to my Promise Pegasus (6x3TB, configured to RAID 5), which is what i bought it for, but sadly, my FCPX does NOT detect my Pegasus at all in Library. It does however detect other storage devices like when my SD card is plugged in etc, and my macintosh hd.
    I spent alot of time reading up and googling and some advices say it must be configured to MAC OS Extended (journaled) which, when i checked, it is! So I don't know what's the problem now.
    It is getting very frustrating and I can't seem to get it to work. Would really appreciate if any kind souls can help me out on this!

    Did you solved that isue? I have the same problem.
    Thanks

  • Advance Search window does not appear.

    Advance Search window does not appear. I see that several others have asked this question, but no one has received a good answer about how to solve it. I have tried reinstalling but it does nothing. Has anyone managed to fix this?

    Hey billiec47282142,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
    You might need to press "Shift+Ctrl/Command+F" for Windows/MAC to open Advanced Search Window.
    Are you doing the same thing?
    Let me know.

  • I cleared out a movie I made in final cut pro, now fcp will not open completely, I get the logo with all the names running through but never get timeline, browser or anything else?  Help!!  Larry

    I removed a movie I had made and now when I try to open final cut pro, all the stuff shows up with the names, etc, but that is it, I don't get anything else, and, final cut does not show at the top of my computer.  I have the 27 inch iMac with the intel processor, any help will be appreciated.  Larry

    Sounds like you may have deleted more than just the movie file.  It the FCP application in the Applications folder?  if so, try launching from there.  If not, you'll neeed to uninstall the app completely using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/  then reinstall from the original install discs.
    You may want to first try trashing FCP's preferences.

  • Final Cut Pro Academic Version Is not fully functional!

    Could someone tell me if Final Cut Pro Academic is really functionally? I bought final cut pro academic and it appears that the program color does not work. The viewer in color doesn't work. Apple states that the only difference between academic and the normal version is that the academic version version is a non-upgradable version. But I don't believe this. I believe that you have to buy the standard version to get the full features. Could someone one tell me this is not so.

    The academic version is Functionally 100% exactly the same. There are no differences feature wise.
    The only difference is you can't use an upgrade with that serial #.

  • FInal Cut Pro for Windows?

    Yes or no. If i were to purchase Final Cut Pro Studio Academic 6, would i be able to use it with windows on my laptop? I would love to know beofre i purchase anything.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    simply said: NO.
    Final Cut is an Apple product and only runs with Apples OSX system, not with Windows.
    There are similar programs for Windows, like Adobe Premiere, for example.

  • Final Cut Pro X: How to not get it to crash.

    Most times when I use Final Cut Pro X, sometimes it crashes and I have no idea how it is doing that. Can you please do something that can help me stop Final Cut Pro X from crashing?

    I found out that, according to digibudII, the maximum amount of RAM could be 6GB on my iMac. Even though the 8GB RAM was recommended to help Final Cut Pro X from not crashing, it would not work in my model.
    I did, however, find some Memory upgrades for the model:
