Additional videofiles in FCP project not uploaded to FCSVR

I have a strange problem when I try to upload a FCP project file into Final Cut Server. If the project has videofiles that aren't yet in Final Cut Server the're not uploaded as assets. Instead when I open the project in Final Cut Server I see an unlinked media asset. I can't remember I've had this problem before.
Running FCP 6.05 & Final Cut Server 1.1.1

Is your server logged in as the admin account used to install FCS? A bit strange I know, but that was my problem. Once I kept my server logged in as the admin account, it was golden.

  • FCP project not the correct aspect ratio when exporting to Quicktime

    Hello All;
    I am trying to export a FCP project in its native resolution (1440 X 1080) to Quicktime but everytime I try, the aspect ratio is messed up and people look taller and thinner than they should.
    The project is a resolution of 1440 X 1080 as determined by examining the sequence settings in FCP.
    I configure quicktime (see below) to a resolution of 1440 X 1080.
    So why isn't my Quicktime video the correct resolution when I play it with the IMac's Quicktime player ? I shrink the player to 1/2 size to fit it all on the screen.
    My exact settings are below ...
    Export - Using Quicktime Conversion
    Format - Quicktime Movie
    Video Settings - Compressor - MPEG-4
    Quality - Best
    Not sure if I changed the framerate - if I did, I probably changed it to 29.97
    I didn't touch the other settings in the video settings - left them to default
    I didn't change the filter settings - I left them at default
    Size - 1440 X 1080 (The actual resolution of my source video)
    I checked the box - preserve aspect ratio using letterbox (If applicable)
    Other settings were left at default
    Sound Settings - Format - AAC
    Rate - 48 KHZ
    Render Settings - Quality - Best
    Target Bitrate - 128 KHZ (This was left at default - I did not change it)
    Prepare for Internet Streaming - Fast Start checked (This was default - I did not change it)
    All other settings not specifically mentioned were left at default.
    Thanks. Tim

    I don't have much of an answer for you, but to test try not checking the preserve aspect ratio. Rather than reexport the entire 1 hour just export 10 seconds so that you can trouble shoot different things.
    Hope that helps a bit,
    Eric

  • FCP project not rendering well as self contained QT file

    G-4 (late model) 800Mhz,1GB SDRAM, 34 gig of space left, OS 10.3, FCP 4.0.1 LiveType 1.0.1 and Quicktime 6.4
    Trying to render my little 15 second project as a self contained QT File so I can send it to a place, over HS internet, to be used as a full quality production over their in-house system. Looks like you must use compressor to do this but set at uncompressed. The anamorphic final piece looks sqwished. Did I miss a setting someplace? Also, it looks pixalated.Using the Quicktime movie standard setting is not responding to the self contained setting. It is not self contained. Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Sid Coleman

    #3 output lossless DV
    Shane's Stock Answer #3:
    To export your DV project so there is no loss in quality, simply go to the File Menu and select EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE. Not Quicktime Conversion, fot this will compress the footage. Make sure the settings match your timeline settings, make it self contained and you are set.
    If it is anamorphic, then you need to adjust the dimensions by multiplying by 1.33. So 720 will be 960. 960x480.

  • FCP project not recognized

    I have older projects created in FCP 3 and need to open them in FCP 5. FCP 5 doesn't recognize the timeline as a FCP file. Computer is reading the files as "Unix Executable File" Can anyone help?

    Sounds like your files may have lost their essential 'fcp-ness'. Try this tip for a solution, but first look at Andy's response, he came up with an easier way of handling it. Only if his doesn't work, you might try mine...

  • Upload FCP Projects and Associated Media to a Production

    Hi,
    This sounds very silly but I`m really disappointed and can`t figured out how to do it.
    Is there a way to upload a *.fcp project and associate NOT ONLY the project but ALSO the Media that this project contains?
    In other words, if I upload a FCP project and choose a Production to be associated the production is created but ONLY the FCP Project Asset is inside this production, not the whole medias.
    A scan production (for the FCP file) also doesn`t work.
    What works is uploading all media and associating to a production or do a Scan production into a directory with medias. But my FCP and Medias are in distinct places and a thought that FCP project could help me cleaning the Media directories (by uploading the project and after all medias are catalogued archiving them, so the rest in directories are useless).
    The work around would be:
    1- to do a Scan Production in the Media files and after that uploading a FCP project associating with that Production, but as I`ve said I can`t just scan the entire Media as it`s very messy and with this way I could be guaranteed that my important assets are catalogued (and archived) and the left ones in the messy directories could be quick filtered to exclusion and cleaning without worries.
    2- to upload a FCP and associate to a production and after that manually move fcp associated assets to this production (this almost impossible because the limitation of 200 assets per page).
    Can some one propose a better way?
    Regards

    No, you are correct, but unfortunately these are Elements (inside the FCP project) and not real Assets. So for instance, if you fill in the annotations on the Asset it will not show on the Elements (inside FCP projects) and vice-versa. You can`t do a lot of other things as well with elements as you can with assets.
    So I would like to have a Production with all media created automatically when a FCP project is uploaded (or scanned).
    Regards

  • FCP Projects Converted To .m2v In Compressor Are Not Accepted ?

    Normally I export my FCP projects as QuickTime Movies and drop them into iDVD 08.
    I have just exported to Compressor and ended up with a .m2v and a .ac3 file which work in Toast and DVD Studio Pro but cannot be dropped into the iDVD window.
    They jump straight out !
    I have also tried importing them via the File menu with no success.
    What am I doing wrong ?
    I have just searched the iDVD Help menu again and discovered this:-
    "MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files, QuickTime VR movies, and movies with sprite or Flash tracks cannot be added".
    Does that mean that my .m2v files (which I believe are MPEG-2) will not work and the best I can do is to export from FCP as QT Movie ?
    Message was edited by: Ian R. Brown

    That is what it means. iDVD will not accept pre-encoded files. However, I would be curious to know why you would want to use iDVD when you have and know how to use DVD Studio Pro? IMHO, on big disadvantage to iDVD is that it doesn't use AC3 or compressed audio, it uses uncompressed PCM.

  • FCS is only deleting my FCP project file and not linked assets. please help.

    When deleting a FCP project from FCS it does not give me the option to delete all linked media. It only deletes the FCP project file leaving me to delete all related media manually. In the user guide it says it should give me the option to delete the project and all files automatically but this doesn't happen on our system. Does anyone know why? and how to turn this function on?

    A bug that will never be fixed.  You have to delete the associated assets manually.

  • FCP will not read project, access denied

    Please Help
    I was fussing around with VJ software that wasn't reading one of my quicktime movies made in FCP 5.0 (just raw footage). I had to change the codec to .mov so that the VJ software would read the file. But now, the whole project from which that file was taken will not open up. The error says "access denied". Did I change the permissions for the project when I changed the codec by re-routing the info somehow?
    Thanks

    Some more info:
    At the time my external hard drive was attached to someone else's computer, but I just checked the FCP project's info and the file is not locked, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. Also, when I changed the QKTM's codec, a window popped up saying that "if you make this change, your document may open in a different application".
    Any ides?

  • I cant' export well fcp project in FLV file FCP is not aswering

    Hy, when I did a final cut pro project, I export it well in Quick Time conversion to have .mov file.
    But If I want to have a flv file after doing my fcp project, and try to export in flv, Final cut is taking a long time and after few minutes doesn't answering.
    Can you help me, I have a lot of files to export first in .mov and after in flv.
    Thank you

    Hy Dave, I have no encoder, I'am doing export via conversion quicktime (I have quicktime pro) and usually I did it for .mov, but when I ask him FLV options, he is doing it but slowly and also he is not answering so you have to stop fcp, it is not usefull. thank you to tell me if you know exactly what I have to do. My issue is to convert in flv files when I finish the fcp project (to give to people who have a website for example and who didn't want .mov file who is too large).

  • I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

    I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

    I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
    Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
    I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve.  I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.  
    I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade.  Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
    As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
    Good luck.

  • Uploading a FCP project to iPod

    I'm wanting to put a small FCP project onto my 30G. iPod. Can this be done? If so, how?

    Export your timeline using Quicktime Movie, and choose REF MOVIE in the options.
    Open that movie up in Quicktime. Go FILE>EXPORT. In the options there is MOVIE to IPOD.

  • IPhoto project will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process. Christmas gift, really need to get this done, have worked MANY hours on putting it together. Please help!

    Iphoto book will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the fix below:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book.  If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

  • Updating Projects not in "FCP Projects" folder

    How do you update a project if it was not in the old "Final Cut Pro Projects" folder? I had a "Final Cut Pro Projects NOT IN USE" folder. These projects were not updated. Thanks.

    I don't mean to sound dense (and I'm sure I do) but the only "Final Cut Pro Projects" Folder I have now is in the "Old Final Cut Pro Projects and Events" Folder that was created when I updated to 10.1.
    In the new "Projects and Events" Library, I have a Folder named "Updated Projects". The project does not update when placed there.
    Where would the "Final Cut Pro Projects" Folder be that you are referring to?
    Sorry for the confusion.

  • FCP Project Files are all "invalid format?"

    I tried uploading many FCP Project Files with no success. All Project Files run fine in Final Cut Pro.
    Once the upload process begins, the "Jobs in Progress" status spins for about a minute or so. At this point a red exclamation point appears, then a popup window that states:
    "Unable to Analyze Project ... Invalid Format."
    The project file makes it's way into FC Server as a listed asset, however when I choose to "get Info" and do a Search for the associated project files, nothing shows up. The manual mentions or recommends to use file extensions, and I have.
    I read Final Cut Server is supposed to automatically recognize all FCP Project file's associated media. In fact they don't need to be packaged in a folder, etc.
    Lastly I created a brand new FCP Project with a single video clip and a single audio clip after I installed the new ProApps Update. Still no luck.
    Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
    Thanks.
    -paul.

    Paul:
    I experience the exact same issue, yesterday and thought that after Apple released the following update
    http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Studio_2.0rn/
    that things may work, but they still dont.
    My guess, is that there may be a version update to Final Cut 6.0.3 to maybe Final Cut 6.5 or something that will allow this direct integration with Final Cut Server. However, note, I was able to success import Final Cut Project exported as Final Cut XML files. I tried this because this was traditionally how it work when FCServer was the Artbox product. My guess is because the Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Server engineers in Apple really don't speak direct to each other, FCServer was realeased with this bug.
