10-bit issues in Final Cut Pro

Can anyone point me to any Apple support articles relating to the issues / problems of using 10-bit uncompressed sequence setting for online editing in Final Cut Pro ?
I know Final CUt Pro is broken for 10-bit in 4.5, 4.5HD and on but I would like to know exactly which filters are broken for 10-bit and which not etc.
I have tried searches to no avail, just getting forum discussions that highlight the topic but do not have much in the way of solid info.

You are like a lot of Avid people I know...hold on to the old old hardware because it still works. Only it doesn't. Or it does with a workaround, in this case. But I know soooooo many companies that are still using Avid 7.5 on Beige Powermacs, or Avid Express, or Meridians.
Why are you insisting on 10-bit? DV50 is 8-bit, so you are gaining nothing by going to 10bit uncompressed. Even going 8-bit uncompressed doesn't really help anything. I tell people to either use DV50 or uncompressed 8-bit if they want their graphics to look good when they edit DV. DV50 is a good solid codec. No need to convert.
If you go back to Avid, I hope it is one of the newer ones...Avid 3.5 or 4.0. Adrenaline killed it for me, made me jump to FCP without hesitation. And PC Adrenalines...the worse. But newer boxes are starting to win me over.
But then that is new equipment...more expensive equipment than FCP.

  • Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

    Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
    Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
    Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

    Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
    In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?

  • Help serious Audio rendering issues within final cut pro

    Hello
    I have some serious audio issues I am using Final cut 6.05. Here is my problem I am putting a AUParametricEq filter on my audio due wind noise etc. Anyway when i play it back on the time line it plays fine no problems but as soon final cut renders the file say for mastering to tape. at some point at the audio the audio goes all haywire, popping sounds or the audio just repeats it self at one frame or i can here audio from other parts of the timeline. And it just happened before i never had the issue. Is it the update. Hope anybody can help as I need to master about 6 projects to tape to clean my harddrives and all 6 projects have the same issue.

  • Is my issue with Final Cut Pro or my Macbook pro?

    I'm going to try to be as thorough as possible in explaining my situation because I can't figure this problem out and it's exhausting me. I have an early 2011 macbook pro with the 2.2 ghz processor. I upgraded to 16gb of ram almost a year ago. I've been using Final Cut Pro 7 on this computer for several years now without issue and have made no setting changes that would prompt my problems. A few months ago my battery decided to stop holding a charge and now just registers 0%. Around the same time, while editing a short video my computer began behaving like it was overheating. It would crash, restart, crash and then restart again. After I did a disk and permissions repair it began to work normally again and I haven't had any more crashing issues. Around this period of time I began noticing that when my computer turns on it doesn't register the correct time and date. Given a few moments it corrects itself, but for some strange reason it was doing that every time.
    Anyway, around that time I tried to upgrade to Mavericks and experienced an issue during installation because my hard drive was apparently damaged in some way and the installation couldn't be completed. I restored my previous OS and tried to carry on as I was with the damaged hard drive for as long as I could. I was still able to do everything I needed on the computer. I could still edit videos with Final Cut. I could still browse the internet. I could still stream Netflix.
    About a month ago Final Cut stopped working. I could open the program, start a new project and import media files, but when I dragged them into the timeline, they just stuttered (audio would play but video would lag and then jump several frames then lag and jump frames). At the time I assumed this was because my hard drive finally gave up, but I was still able to do other functions like browse the internet and stream basketball games with nba league pass (granted they weren't crisp hd - on a side note, netflix was also behaving oddly. when I would browse through my list, it wouldn't stop scrolling when I moved the mouse away.) so I assumed the hard drive was my issue.
    I just replaced my hard drive with an ssd (crucial m500) and upgraded to mavericks (10.9.1) and now I am having the same issues. Netflix behaves fine. Basketball games stream fine. My battery is still dead (obviously that wasn't going to change). I get the wrong date and time for a minute, but I'm thinking that's battery related now. But Final Cut still lags to the point where I can't use it. Video clips also won't render. I thought this might be an issue with the Final Cut program so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still did the same thing. Assuming I hadn't correctly/completely uninstalled it, I downloaded HitFilm 2 (an editing program that had a free download promotion at the time), figuring using a different program, if i could edit video with it, then my issue is with Final Cut and not my computer. Unfortunaely, I'm having the same lagging issues with HitFilm as I was with Final Cut.
    I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Sorry if this was a rambling post, but I wanted to get as much of the background out there as possible, should it provides anyone with a clue as to what is the issue here. Does anyone have any idea what could be at fault here? I'm stumped.

  • Issue Launching Final Cut Pro - Missing Disks Window....?

    Can anyone help me with this issue? Just loaded FCP on my Intel Mac, and I keep getting this pop up window named " Missing Disks" that is telling me "To preserve the integrity of the data used by FCP HD, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the following path(s):
    '36th Chamber/Users/Macluva99/Documents/Final Cut Pro Documents' is missing.
    And it gives me the option to (1) Quit the program (2) Check again or...(3) Reset scratch Disk (then another window pops up and I have no clue what to do with.
    Any ideas...?
    Thanks,
    [email protected]

    This is actually version 4.5 for FCP HD, but I had loaded it on this machine a month ago and it was working and it wasn't giving me this pop up window/issue. That was when I was still on Tiger I believe. Would it be because im also on Leopard now as well?

  • Exporting issues with Final Cut Pro X

    I have been working on the project for a few weeks now and it's been working fine till today, Im trying to export several clips from the same footage that was divided into seperate project files and every time I try to share it gives me an error message with a frame number. I've seen other people are having the same issue but none of their solutions worked - the frame number is different everytime, I dissabled all effects and I tried copying and pasting the sequince into a new project file but that didn't work either.

    i only can speek for my situation

  • Docking Issue with Final Cut Pro 6

    I have an issue while docking FCP6 to work in another app. FCP will not undock and I am having to force quit every time I dock it.

    As David already said -the question has been posted here dozens of times and no-one has a solution.
    You have Mac OS X 10.6.2 according to the info under your message. Go to System Preferences and activate Spaces -it's a much more elegant way of working.

  • Audio Issues in Final Cut Pro 6

    Recently working on a project, re-opened it the other day, to have the audio playing at a slowed rate if at all. Speed still says 100% and the problem occurs regardless the song or project I use. Any Ideas?

    Make sure you don't have multiple cameras/decks (anything other than drives) connected to your computer.

  • Help!!!  Upgrading to iTunes 10.5 has destroyed all video in Final Cut Pro

    After upgrading to iTunes 10.5 all of the video on my external hard drive was shot with a Canon XL-H1 and captured on a Focus Enhancements FS-CF.  The files are HDV quicktime movies with the MPEG 2, Linear Timecode codec.
    Movie files that are already imported into Final Cut Pro 7 appear as white screens and will not play.  Final Cut crashes when I try to re-import them.
    When I try to open them with Quicktime 7 I get a message saying "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie."  Quicktime X won't open them either.  However, VLC plays them just fine.
    I've looked in the codecs folder for Quicktime and the HDV codec is present for playback.
    I'm experiencing the same issue on two systems: a brand new 27" iMac and a 17" MacBook Pro.  Both are running Snow Leopard.
    I was on the phone with Apple for over 4 hours.  Ultimately they blamed my camera and hung up.
    Dear God, someone please help!

    I emailed Focus Enhancements, the manufacturers of the FS-CF flash drive I use to recorde footage from my camera.  They're aware of the problem.  Here's the email I received:
    Currently, there is an issue with Final Cut Pro X, Mac OSX Lion 10.7, the latest version of the Quicktime player (7.7 or any 10.0version and up) and our Quicktime HDV files. We have been working with Apple ona fix for this issue, however, I do not know when the fix will be available.The only workaround we know of at this time is to record in the .m2t fileformat and convert the footage to .mov (Quicktime).
    If you are not running Lion and you have Final Cut Pro 6or 7, you may be able to downgrade your Quicktime player so your files willwork. Some of our customers have had success with downgrading their Quicktimeplayer by following the steps listed here: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
    If you cannot downgrade using Pacifist, you may need tocontact Apple for further assistance.
    I tried the Pacifist route.  It didn't work.  And in my opinion, recording in .m2t and converting to .mov is a time consuming option, especially if you're on deadline.  I'm going to dual boot my machines with Leopard and not upgrade iTunes.
    iSkysoft's video converter is the only converter I've found so far that will convert my hdv files.  But it pillarboxes the converted video and throws the audio 14 frames out of sync; issues that can be fixed in editing but then everything has to be re-rendered.
    As far as Focus Enhancements working with Apple on a fix: don't hold your breath.

  • Final Cut Pro unexpectedly quits when scrubbing in the viewer

    Hello there!
    I am scrubbing an H264 clip in the viewer window and suddenly, FCP quits! I tried trashing the FCP prefs already, repairing the disk permissions, but to no avail.
    What seems to be the problem?

    Thanks for the tip. Tried using other formats like the prores codec worked fine.
    It turned out that Final Cut Pro had problems scrubbing with H.264 files. I have tried using the H.264 clips with both versions 5 and 6, and yielding the same problem.
    H264 playback issues with Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 was resolved by Apple a couple of months ago. See link below:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306072
    I presume that scrubbing, on the other hand, has not been resolved by Apple yet.

  • Sharing stops at 33 % final cut pro x

    Hi, i have a mac mini OS X 10.7.5,  my video is 54 seconds long, 1080p Final cut pro x.  I have tried to share as i have done in the past by sharing to master file but when it starts it goes well until it hits 33 %.  I tried to upload to youtube and the same thing, stops at 33%. I tried to dvd and same thing stops at 33%.  when i press Render All it stops and stops, i press Play but it stops and stops. 
    what can i do?  I dropped the audio track and a couple of video tracks onto the editor instead of importing and thought that this was the problem but i have done videos before where i dropped tracks and they shared just fine, (perhaps mising link to video/audio file?  
    i am doubfounded and any help would be greatly appreciated.  many many thanks in advance. 

    Hi Leavethegunand takethecannoliproductions,
    I would recommend viewing the progress details to see if that helps indicate where the issue is:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5614
    To view the progress of shared items (entire projects, a selected range of a project, or individual clips), open the Background Tasks window. You can open the window by doing any one of the following:
    Choose Window > Background Tasks
    Press Command-9
    Click the Background Tasks icon in the toolbar.
    Beyond that, here are some basic troubleshooting suggestions for Final Cut Pro X in general:

  • Input problem w/ USB to Final Cut Pro?

    I have a Canon Vixia HF S30 which uses flash memory. The only outputs I have on the camera are HDMI and USB 2.0. My computer recognizes the camera as a flash drive but Final Cut Pro 7 will not. I have tried tinkering with a number of settings in the Log and Transfer window with no success. I am guessing that there must be an issue of Final Cut Pro not located the camera because it is connected to the USB drive and not the firewire. I have tried to find a setting under Audio/Video for a non-firewire connection, but have found none. I am confident that it can work with Final Cut Pro because it had in the past before I had to reformat and reinstall Final Cut Pro. I just can't remember the correct settings to import the video. Please help!

    Log and Transfer works with both USB and FireWire -the majority of tapeless cameras connect via USB but you could jst as easily use a Disk Image of that cameras card located on a FW drive.
    There are two things that cause problems -the directory structure of a card not being intact is one.
    There are also multiple video file types, not all of which are compatible because various manufacturers add their own tweaks to the AVCHD format.
    Some manufacturers provide a plug in for their camera so that it works in FCP.
    If Canon don't provide one for that camera you can use MPEG Streamclip (free) to transcode the files to ProRes LT or ClipWrap ($50).

    how do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...

    First, did you use Setup or Migration Assistant? That can happen when coming from a PowerMac or sometimes even from another (Intel) Mac.
    Second, wait for the next version of Final Cut due very soon to ship (may have to wait for the ".1" of course to clean up any early issues.

    There are a few apps that are better.  I think you can run multiple instances of Handbrake for one.
