Playback Lag when sending from Color to Final Cut Pro

Hi,
Im currently editing a video in Final Cut Pro 7, everything is fine i have everything layed out perfectly in my sequence, and it plays back fine etc.
I then send it to Color, once i have finished in color, i choose to render every clip, then once that is done i try to send back to final cut, but it tells me some of the clips arent rendered, yet i try several times with choosing them all to render and rendering them.
so after a while i ignore the warning and send it back to final cut, however once back in final cut the clips play extremley laggy, almost asif its about 10% the speed, but the audio is fine?
PLEASEEEEE help, this has never happend before
thanks
phill

I mean IN FINAL CUT, not Color. In FINAL CUT, load the clip into the VIEWER, THAT is where you check the SCALE.

Still need to break movies into 20 min / 100 cuts before sending to Color?

Wondering if anyone knows if Apple have addressed the issue of having to break long timelines into sections of 20 minutes or so before sending to Color.
Thanks

IME, it's not the length of the sequence but the number of cuts in the sequence.
If after importing my sequence into Color I look under the Shots tab and it shows more than 800 shots - I'll start breaking up the show.

Color Crashing sending back to Final Cut

Well that's pretty much it. I have tried to export an XML. It still does the same thing. Any one else haveing this problem
Phil

I don't have an exact answer but an approach for you to troubleshoot...
The first thing to try: From FCP "Send to Color". Save. Then immediately round-trip and "Send to FCP". If Color is crashing during export or during the Send To operation, there's a timeline problem. Assuming you've gone through the latest release notes and have cleaned up your timeline from known issues - you can then try to break your show in half, send each half independently and see if one of them is able to make the immediate roundtrip. And keep halving until you've isolated the issue in the timeline that's giving you a problem.
If the immediate round-trip does work, then it's likely not a timeline problem but a project problem. You can try to create a new project, import the grades from the previous project, then render and Send to FCP.
Also, see how many edits are in your timeline. Color seems to choke sometime in the 800-1200 edit mark.
Finally, Color seems optimized for particular codecs. I'd seriously consider getting out of DVCPro HD and using the ProResHD codec. So many people have been complaining about roundtrip problems with DVCPro HD I'm starting to think it's best to avoid it when CCing in Color... but that's just a hunch.

Color crashes when starting from "send to Color" from FCP.

Hi. I am a film student and am using Final Cut Studio to edit a short film.
It's been recorded in PAL Anamorphic. I edited it in FCP, and when I select the sequence and send it to Color, Color opens, and crashes while "Importing Final Cut Pro XML".
Color seems to load fine if I open it by myself, but when it imports the sequence from FCP it crashes.
If I try to do it again, it even asks if I want to overwrite the project. I accept and it crashes again.
I can launch Color and open the project file, but it has no video inside.
I don't know why this can be happening. I could use Color before (8min projects), and I could even use it today (30sec project), but the video didn't load completely (3 shots, only the one in the middle showing, the others had a cross over them). I sent a larger file, to see if the problem wasn't with the "starting" and "ending" shots, but it crashed.
I don't have any saved Color project to try. What should I do?
Thanks,
Rodrigo

Have you read the release notes for Color and made sure that there are no 'gotchas' in the sequence you are trying to send to Color?
There's a chance that there's something in the timeline that Color doesn't like. Take that out or depending on what it is, 'bake' it in and you will increase your chances of getting the Send To to work.
Good Luck!

How to attach short cut keys to open a menu in a menubar

Hi,
I have three menus say File, Edit, Help in the MenuBar and i want to open these menus when i press short cut key from Key board, say Alt+F for File menu, Alt E for Edit menu and so on. When the file menu is shown i want to select the New menuItem in it by CtrlN.
When i press Alt key the letter F in File, E in Edit should be underlined.
So can you please give me some sample code for this.
Thanks.

"SEND TO COLOR" DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY

Hi all,
When I use the function "send to color" in Final Cut 6, the sequences are sent to color, but they are totally messed up. I got wrong "ins" and "outs" in each sequence. Does anybody know the answer for this kind of bug?
Thanks a lot.
- Andrea

Several reasons:
I believe that that is referring to as directly IMPORTED media, not SEND TO COLOR sequences. The two are not the same thing. I could be wrong, but that's what that part of the manual is addressing (look on that section heading on the page before).
Then, from page 41:
"Step 3: Recapture the source media at online resolution if necessary If you originally captured your source media using an offline format, you’ll need to recapture the media used in your project at the highest available quality prior to
sending it to Color. "
"If your media was originally recorded using a compressed format (such as DV, DVCPRO-50, DVCPRO HD, or HDV), then recapturing it using the original source codec and resolution is fine; Color can work with compressed media, and automatically promotes the image data to higher uncompressed bit depths for higher quality imaging when monitoring and rendering."
"Note: Some codecs, such as HDV, can be more processor intensive to work with than others. In this case, capturing or recompressing the media with a less processor-intensive codec, such as Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), will improve your performance while you work in Color, while maintaining high quality and low storage requirements."
Clearly they included HDV in the workflow and not in a transcoding sense.
Also DV NTSC is approved on that list and it does the same thing.
And if you media manage and transcode to Pro Res it still does it. That would make it one of the approved formats on the list. Problem is still there.
In FACT, the ONLY way that you can get HDV in and out with the right in and out points IS the direct import method rather than send to Color, and its not even supported on according to the list you're quoting!
Sorry its just not that simple. Its either broken or the documentation is faulty.

Send to color from FC timeline

Color does not appear in list of send to options when I click in the timeline of Final Cut Pro. It does appear in the "send to" list accessed from the top of the screen.
Any idea why?

Yep - that's the way it works.
You don't send cuts out off your tl.
You send the seq out from the Browser by rt clicking your seq>Send to>Color
or from the File menu.

Send to Color Error

In the past this has worked but in the last week every time I try to export to Color I get the same edit which is not even loaded as a sequence.
It is an early assembly of the same project but I have closed all other sequences and only have the sequence I wish to Send to Color open.
I have even tried Exporting an XML and when I open it in Color it is the same incorrect sequence.
I've deleted preference in Color(1.0.2) and Final Cut Pro (6.0.4) but with no better results. I may have missed something in trying to reset the problem.
Does anyone have any clues on how to fix this bizzare fault?
Also posted this in the Final Cut Pro forum
TIA

"Have you checked that you don't have any nested sequences in your timeline?...and you have read the manual about preps for sending from FCP to Color right?"
Yes to both of these questions and the 'send to Color' process was working correctly previously.
I've just spent about 40 minutes on the phone with Apple Professional Software support and trashed both my FCP and Color preferences under their instructions.
Unfortunately this hasn't cured the fault. I have now confirmed that more than one separate project is giving sililar results.
Each project, with different source media on different drives, ends up with an earlier sequence, which isn't loaded on the timeline when I Send.
I've tried sending from
1) The time line with only one sequence open
2) By right clicking on the sequence
3) By Exporting an XML and loading it manually in Color.
In all cases I get a totally different sequence from the same source media.
It's really weird and I need to get this bug solved.
I've repaired disk permissions, and repaired disks (with no errors)and I'm stumped.
Appreciate any help offered.

"Send to Color" Not appearing.

When I installed Final Cut Studio, I opted to not install Color to save space on my computer; I had no need for it at the time.
Since then, I have installed Color (I did not reinstall Final Cut Pro), but when I right click on a clip in my sequence, the option "Send to Color" does not appear. The option "Send to Motion" appears, and works. I installed Motion at the same time as Final Cut Pro.
Do I need to reinstall Final Cut Pro and Color at the same time to get this to work? Or is there another solution?

"Send to Color" appears in the browser when you have a sequence selected, not a clip in the timeline.

Send to Color is not available in FCP

Hi,
Last year I installed final cut studio 2, and have FCP 6.0 and Color 1.0 installed on the same computer. When I go to the Send command on FCP, the option to send to Color is not available.
I'd like to mess around with Color, but can't get any clips on it..
Anyone had this problem or knows how to fix it ?
Thanks !

Do you mean...
COLOR is not there at all in the "Send To.." pulldown tab... or
it is greyed out?
Can't help much in the first instance because its not in my experience base... might be a prefs or install issue. If its not offered, but is named, then its a case of selecting the open sequence.
It is also possible to open COLOR separately, name a project, SAVE it, and have it become active. You should be able to navigate to a media directory in the SETUP/Shots dialogue, and import clips from there. Be sure to set the project fps rate before importing any media... that is a project deal breaker from the getgo. There are very few after-the-fact "sequence setting" options. After adding media, it is not possible to change the frame rate of the timeline. It was the first thing to check off in Final Touch before proceeding with anything else.
Kind of like setting frame dominance and interlace in SHAKE. Immediately.

"send to Color" not present

I just installed Final Cut 6. The "send to Color" is not an option from the send to section from the clip. Does anyone know why it is not present or how to fix the problem? Thank you!!

If you haven't found any bugs in it yet, you will. I just finished a two-day training session, and we all experienced instability on some level. Even the instructor had things happen that weren't supposed to. Color promises to be one of, if not the most important piece of the FCP Suite. But it's no more stable than Motion 1 was. In fact, it might even be less so. Give it time. It will come of age.
Why so many Apple users are so defensive is more of a riddle. Why the automatic "knee-capping" of anyone who uses the word "bug" or "glitch" in this forum continues to be one of life's eternal mysteries.
All software has bugs and glitches. I've never seen a perfect program. If you use an application long enough, sooner or later, something will happen that isn't supposed to.

Send to Color results in single still frame

When I send to color, some of the clips only display a still frame of that clip. The clip in the color timeline is of the correct duration, but it simply repeats that single frame. This happens even if I export the XML from Final Cut and import it into color. It also happens if I start a new sequence that includes only the problem clips.
I'm using a RED camera workflow in which the Final Cut sequence is using a 1k proxy of the 4K master .r3d files.
I'd be grateful for any tips.

Got me then...post the question in the COLOR forum. More knowledgeable people there when it comes to COLOR.

Where to find desk top icons for firefox, not short cuts, icons

I do not like the blue world desk top icon for Nightly and I would to use the other desk top icon with the fox curled inside the blue world. Please send me the icon, not the short cut. Thanks !

Sounds like a question for a Windows 7 support forum. I don't use Win7, but in WinXP if you right-click a desktop icon and open Properties, there is a button for '''Change Icon'''. As finitarry alluded to, you will need to come up with your own icon file of the correct size. Keep in mind that Nightly updates frequently, actually it updates '''''nightly''''', and you may find that you need to replace that icon every day. ''Speculation on my part, I have never wasted my time replacing a desktop shortcut icon for a program that updated frequently. And if you spent any time searching for how to do that specifically for Firefox, anything you might have found about fiddling Firefox program files or the Firefox Profile folder hasn't worked since the Firefox 3.0 version.''
