Final Cut Pro X- automatically changes video color

When I bring new media into a project, in the viewing screen it changes the color. I have turned off all color settings and the problem still consists. In the project editing strips the color is fine but when viewing it is tinted purple. Any help?

You might not have a compatible video card. It needs to be "OpenCL" compatible. What mac are you using, and what video card? This info is available using the "About this Mac" menu item; click "More Info" to get to the video info.

In Final Cut Pro x, Somehow my video got muted and I can't find a way to UNMUTE it! (it won't let me manually lift up or down the waveform - nor go in and raise the level of loudness) Any suggestions? (How to unmute)

Do you know how to use the volume adjustment line?
If so, is it not working?
Can you post a screenshot of your audio?

Final Cut Pro X is exporting video with horizontal lines?

I filmed a show with 2 different cameras (one is a canon vixia, the other is a canon dos 7D, i realize the quality is different for them) and I used the multi cam editor to match h up the clips and audio file to switch back and forth. I think i created proxy media to use for the multi cam clip. Whenever i export my movie, the movie plays with horizontal lines, and whenever there is faster motion, the person gets blurred. What is making final cut pro x export like this? How do I fix this? I've tried exporting with Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy), and H.264, but all video files have the lines going through it and the motion is a bit blurry. Please help me!!

There are quite a few Vixia models from Canon; which is yours?
Without looking at the image, it's not certain, but your description sounds like interlaced footage displayed on a computer. The 7D only shoots progressive, so it's possible your other cam was set to record interlaced. If your first clip placed on the timeline was an interlaced clip, FCP would automatically set the project to interlaced.
In a addition to your model #, what would be useful is to select one of the Vixia clips in the browser and then to take a screen shot of the top part of the Info pane.

Does Final Cut Pro X support all video files as did its prior version Final Cut Pro Studio?

Hi,
Use to have a Mac Pro and had Fina Cut Pro Studio. Now I have just got a new Macbook Pro (Lion), and have just purchased the new Final Cut Pro X from the App store. I am having problems importing 3gps files into FCP X. I never had a problem with the $1000 version of studio. Does the new FCP X have limitations on what video files are compatible with it? do I need to purchase additional plug-ins etc???

Really depends on the specific file type you want to work with. FCP X does not support every single flavor of video FCP 7 did, so it's not a huge surprise if the file you're using is not supported. That said, there's plenty of free third party tools you could use to convert it to a regular QuickTime ProRes file that FCP X would accept. For example- http://www.squared5.com/ would most likely be able to load it. Try and let us know. And if that doesn't work please provide more details about the 3gps file you're using.

Final Cut Pro X long form videos

I've done a number of short videos on Final Cut Pro X using my Macbook Pro.Now a client wants me to send out 90minute seminars with a "watermark" logo. First one seems is very slow going. Do i need something like a Mac Pro with dual processors, etc.?

This seems to be just like my mac - a 2010 model. Unfortunately, it does not support 16GB, you have already maxed out the RAM. You can and should avoid running other RAM-hungry applications (especially browsers) while you are editing or exporting in FCP X. Also, keep Activity Monitor open and look out for the memory section. If free RAM (in green) dwindles to a few tens of MB, your mac will slow down considerably. In that case, quit any applications you can, and quit and restart FCP X to free as much RAM as possible.
Using a fast external disk will also help. The internal drive is not adequate for such large projects and also may be filling up, which again will slow things down a lot.
(For this model the options are not many: FW800 (faster) or USB2 (not as fast); the best choice for me was an e-Sata disk, but that is only possible on the 17" model, via an express card - not an option if you have the 15" MBP)
So use RAM very wisely, and put your stuff in an as fast as possible external drive and you should be ok.
Not nearly as fast as on a Retina MBP, of course, but usable.

Final Cut Pro 4: Problems exporting video using QuickTime conversion

just recently updated my Mac to version 10.4.11 -
Ever since, Final Cut Pro won't let me Export my video using QuickTime Conversion.
Its starts exporting, then freezes at 79%. A general error message pops up.
I know its not a space issue, because I have 20GB left and the video i'm exporting is only 2 GB.
I installed all the software updates.
Can anyone help? Do I need a new version of Final Cut?

1) this is the final cut express forum not the pro.
2) 10.4.6 is not the latest, try updating to 10.4.11
3) after any system update you must run disk utility to repair permissions or errors that may not have been addressed during the upgrade process.
4) have you tried exporting as a reference movie then playing it in qtpro, if ok then export.
5) what are you trying to export too?

Final cut pro 10.1.2 Update - Color Correction / Grading Not Exporting

Hi guys
Since upgrading to Final Cut Pro 10.1.2, the software is working almost perfectly fine, but when exporting movies - whether I export them as h264, iTunes or directly to YouTube - they do not export with the colour corrections I applied to different shots. Does anyone know a way around this?
Best wishes and I look forward to hearing from you.
Shai

Thanks Tom
Here's a screenshot of what the Quicktime file looks like compared to the fcp movie. There are a couple of shots where the color correction stays intact, but for the majority, the export seems to ignore it completely. Very strange.

Does Final Cut Pro import 24 fps video?

Hi,
I've been working with Final Cut Express for about a year, and am thinking about upgrading. I know that Final Cut Express does not import true 24 fps video, but am wondering if Final Cut Pro does. Also, does Final Cut Pro require more hardware power than FCE? (I currently have a dual core MacBook Pro with 4 gigs of ram. Will that suffice for FCP?)
Thanks,
Vic

Yes, FCP can handle 24 (or, more commonly, 23.98), and no, it doesn't require additional hardware (though certain apps inside the suite will certainly benefit from it).

Final Cut Pro, Compressor, and strobed video...

Recently I have started doing projects on Final Cut Studio 2. I have been taking footage of a local pro wrestling outfit, taking my ringside roaming cam and taking the school's hard cam and doing a 2 camera output with Multiclip. I have a Mac G5 1.6 GHz Tower, and am using a Sony SR-47 Hard Drive Camera for my roaming cam shots. I have noticed that the footage on the playback on the camera, as well as when I import it into FCP is fine. But when I output the footage through compressor, the fast action footage (which there is quite a bit of) seems to be very strobed. When the action slows down it's fine, but when it picks back up, there it is again.
I asked my Apple Store teacher about this, his suggestion was to mark where ALL of the actions shots are in FCP and mark them to be "less compressed". That will take way too long, and there is no guarantee that will work. So I come to everybody here, is there a way that I can stop this from happening? I don't think the length of the entire show has much to do with it, since it was only 90 mins or so, which I know can easily fit onto a 4.7 GB DVD. (My teacher said try using dual layer DVD's...have had nothing but problems using dual layer DVD's for anything else but data.)
The footage on the cam is MPEG 2, and I have been exporting it via Streamclip to make a .dv file, which is then imported into FCP. The footage is then edited, and exported through compressor to DVD.
So, any help? Thanks in advance!
Tom

I spoke to a FCP rep at Apple yesterday, what he said was that FCP is by default set on lower field dominance, and that my Sony cam is set on upper field dominance, which would cause those strobed video problems. Also, he said try de-interlacing the video, that could also be a problem. Well my next project is in 2 weeks so I will try that and see how it goes...

Final Cut Pro X - Multicam changes pitch (Help badly needed!)

Hi everybody,
I have big problems using Multicam.
Basicly my problem is that pitch is not preserved. It is off with a semitone or so. Almost sounds like a samplerate issue (44.1/48 khz)
What I do is:
I have 4 shoot (with 4 cams) of a live-song. I have proff. audio from Pro Tools. I choose those 5 files in FCP and hit "new multicam clip). It syncs and I drag new multicam clip to timeline. Now pitch is slightly off!!
Can someone help me with this? When I double click multi cam clip, so it unfolds, each angles audio is in original pitch.
BTW: Is it the right way to do this? I mean, handling the audio as a angle, when creating the multi cam clip in the first place?
Going mad :-(

Final Cut Pro cannot save changes to projects or Events.

Keep getting this stupid message, "The disk where your projects or Events are located may be full or unavailable, projects or Events may have moved, or permissions may have changed." It's the stupidest thing because I have 800 gb left on my drive. I haven't touched the Events after I imported all the footage last night. So frustrating because everytime I cut any footage, it'll work for a few clips, then the message will pop up, and it'll consequently wipe clean everything I just did. Any help??
Specs: MBP 17in, OS10.8, 2.53 i5, 8 gb RAM. FCPX10.0.8

Hmm, for some reason all of a sudden it started working. I unplugged my hard drive, turned it off, deleted the old project, and started fresh. All of a sudden it's going smoothly. Crossing my fingers that it was just a freak accident. Really crossing my fingers....

Final Cut Pro - Recently downloaded Quicklooks and Color Finesse Wont show in FCP

This is really confusing. Quicklooks originally worked, then I got an old copy of motion and installed it and it messed everything up (Quicklooks stopped showing and Motion just kept crashing). I removed Motion, uninstalled Quicklooks and reinstalled it and it still wouldn't show in FCP. I've been troubleshooting with a Quicklooks Service rep for a week and still no dice. I then downloaded Color Finesse to see if it was maybe a Quicklooks problem but that didn't show up either. Any ideas?

See!?! Told ya so!
