2 questions - lost timeline + streamclip question

First off, everything was fine. New to this, but messing around with FCP 4.5. Suddenly, no matter how many times I close and re-open, I can't see the canvas or timeline. Double-clicked the sequence. Nothing. (What's the difference between a clip and a sequence, by the way?) I go to "Window" and "canvas" and "timeline" are grayed out. Crazy....
Also, I've got mpeg Streamclip Beta, but don't have the option to output to ProRes...?
Thanks for the help!

You need to spend a little time learning the application.
A sequence is what you edit in and appears in the timeline window. A clip when opened from the browser appears in the viewer. The sequence icon has two horizontal yellows bars on it. Do you have one of those in the browser? If you double click on one the timeline window will open.
Also, when double-clicking on an empty sequence, it says "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
This does not appear when you open a sequence, but when you open a clip in a codec you don't have access to, like ProRes, which is not available with the version you're using. ProRes comes with FCP6 or later. If you install that application the ProRes codec will be available in MPEG Streamclip.

Lost timeline content !

I am working on my first project - everything had been imported or captures in Project Panel. I had content in the Timeline (dragged there) until my last session.
Today, the Timeline did'nt even show when I started Premiere. I made sure i am under Editing View, then in WIndow : I made sure ''Timeline'' was checked. Then, all I get is an empty rectangle where I cannot drag anything from the Project Pannel. It is grey shaded and states : Timeline: (no sequence).
What have I done wrong and how can I correct it ?
Thanks,
Rob

Lost timeline & canvas

Hi there whilst working on a project i closed my canvas and timeline & saved it. Now i cant get them to open on this specific project. The options to open them are greyed out in the window tab. please help

In the Browser double-click your sequence icon and they will reappear.
If there is no sequence, just create a new one and double-click it.

Lost timeline and canvas windows

Hi-
Just started using FCE4. My timeline and canvas windows disappeared and are grayed out in the Windows>arrange section. How do I get them back?

Had same problem a month ago. Fixed by this instruction
"Close FCE and go to Home > Library > Preferences. Trash any file (not folder) that has a name including FinalCutExpress or FinalCutPro. Now find the folder Final Cut Express/Pro User Data in the Prefs folder and open it. Trash Prefs, Prof Cache, Obj Cache (sometimes called MOA and POA Cache). Then, of course, repair permissions".

Lost Timeline and Canvas on Monitors

I just downloaded some HDV clips and was in the process of reviewing them in the browser when, for some reason, Canvas and Timeline disappeared from the monitors and are greyed-out on the Window menu as selections... Can't figure out why...Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ed

hmmmm, strange indeed.
perhaps if you opened a sequence you'd gain those windows back.

Lost timeline in FCPX 10.1.1

Hi, I've just purchased FCP 10.1.1 and finished and edit successfully. Even uploaded to YouTube! Great. For various reasons, to do with it being a 2010 iMac prone to frequent crashing, I decided to completely reinstall Mavericks and FCPX onto the reformatted boot drive. Now, when I reopen FCPX, I get all my clips but no timeline. There's also a small exclamation mark against the star of the event. Could someone explain this for me please?
Am I to assume that the timeline details were saved on my boot drive, when I've tried to save everything on the project drive? In which case they've gone forever...!

Thanks for your comment Russ. I did back up my boot drive files, but not those in the previous two days as I'd hardly used it. All my project files were saved to an external hard drive so I didn't think there were any FCPX files on the boot drive. However, I cannot identify the timeline file to make amnendments, and there's a small exclamation mark on the star marking the project I'm working on. I think I need to watch a few more training videos as this is my first time with the program. Phil

No Signal from Timeline to External Broadcast Monitor

I've been running FCP 6.0.1 for about three months with no problems until just recently when I lost timeline signal to my external JVC broadcast monitor. Log and capture work fine and All Frames is selected in the View menu.

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Occasional lack of audio on timeline

Why do I sometimes fail to get sound on the timeline in Premiere Elements 12? The clips all play back sound in other software. System is new, windows 8, everythiong else checks out.

Bagulofricatory
Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8 (assumed 64 bit).
Please update your Premiere Elements 12 to the 12.1 Update and let us know if you see any improvement in the performance, in particular any resolution of your audio issues. See opened project, Help Menu/Update for the 12.1 Update. Also...
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/03/pe12-update-121-released.html
More information is need about the properties of your source media, how you are importing your source media, and whether you are watching/listening to the rendered or unrendered Timeline content via the Edit area monitor.
In the cases where you have lost Timeline content audio, have you ever taken the Timeline to an export to determine if the audio is also lost in the end product?
Also, in the cases where you have lost Timeline content audio and you are working with the rendered Timeline content, have you found any resolution to the issue by moving the audio to an upper track and/or creating new track on which to place the video audio?
Please review and consider the above and then we can talk about what next based on your reply.
Thank you.

Iphone 5s Lost/Stolen - Questions about Find my Phone on ios7

OK, I have done something very stupid but I need some advice anyway, will likely not ever get my phone back but I'm curious as to how it works.
1) I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s for travel.
2) I installed "find my phone" before leaving Canada
3) I came to China to live for 6 months and I inserted a China Unicom SIM card.
4) I purchased a cell phone plan that has basically no data
5) I then went into my settings and turned off Cellular Data for all apps (this was the stupid thing that I did without thinking).
Therefore, find my phone is off in Cellular Data. Last night my phone was lost and/or stolen. I immediately tried to use "find my phone." As soon as it said my device was offline I realized what I had done and how stupid it was. I did still set the lock and send it a messages so if for some reason it comes online it will be locked, but....here are my questions:
1) Will "find my phone" work over Wifi automatically if Cellular Data is off?
2) If my phone IS in the hands of a thief, is this even helpful? Could a thief just pop out my SIM card, insert their SIM card, somehow bypass my fingerprint/passcode (I know there are hacks for that) and then just turn off / disable Find My Phone? Because if they put in their SIM card and use 3G, but haven't started using Wifi yet, then "find my phone" won't be activated yet, correct?
3) So is my only hope to leave a thief with a worthless brick that they take the phone somewhere and try to use it on Wifi to set it up? IF they insert a new SIM and manage to hack my passcode, BUT they fail to deactivate "find my phone" and then they join a wireless network, would my phone immediately lock

Use Find My iPhone to track iPhone only if the following conditions are met:
1. Find My iPhone is ON and activated.
2. iPhone has Internet connection.
3. iPhone is not switched OFF.

I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Hi yehiafromnull,
If your iCloud account isn't the same as your Apple ID, you may have multiple Apple IDs set up (all iCloud accounts are associated with an Apple ID). If you are unclear what it may be, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:

I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.
