Audio Transitions not working properly in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4

I am noticing that I can't change the audio transitions on the timeline as I used to be able to do. Now I get a prompt to go to the Browser and select the audio transitions there which is not how I've done it previously. Before, I just clicked on the timeline audio clip, made a transition and then typed the duration of the transition in the Viewer. So, I'm wondering if I should trash the plist for FCP or do something else? The video transitions seem to work fine as they always have.
Thanks for any help!

Let me explain this better. When I click on an audio clip in the timeline I get this prompt:
No default transition to add. Please set a default transition in the Effects Tab in the Browser before performing this command.
I've never had to do this before, so I wonder if anyone knows why this suddenly is happening?

  • My Log and Transfer window is not displaying properly in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3

    I installed an add-in to import files from a Canon FX-100 camera.   When I tried to work with some files that had been recorded on this camera, the left panel of the Log and Transfer screen disappeared.  Nothing that I have tried - stretching or expanding the window, restarting the Final Cut, or the Mac have worked.

    This forum is for FCP X only.
    You need the Final Cut Studio forum for legacy FCP.
    Try trashing the preferences with this free app.
    Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP  stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP , open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that only  FCP   is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP .

  • The solo function is not working in my Final Cut Pro X

    When I select the track I want to solo all other tracks gets black and white (as they should) but all tracks are still visible, nothing changes in the project window. and when I play the movie nothing have changed. Any ideas out there ????

    Tom, let me get this straight...once you've added clips to the timeline, the only way to view a particular clip in realtime is to disable anything above it?  And then undo the disable action?  can't believe that Apple would release a professional video editing project without a solo feature. Am I missing something?
    And suppose you edit by disabling above clips and then excising unwanted sections...you can't "undo" the disabling, meaning you have to go back and make sure you re-enable each clip you want to reenable manually?  Please tell me this isn't so. This would make the program almost unusable...

  • I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro. There are two clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. It is extremely frustrating, can anyone help?

    I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?

    The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
    Is this enough information?

    You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk.  There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free.  I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac.  You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

  • Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    Thanks Tom.
    So I will need  upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
    Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

  • The document "2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.

    The document “2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.
    I was importing media, and closed out of the media before stoping the media import. This is how the file saved on the hard drive.
    I need to get this file into a format that FCP can open. Is there a way to export a .FinalCutCopy file into a .mov file???
    Any insights would be VERY HELPFUL!

    I was able to figure it out. I renamed the file type to a .mov format and quicktime was able to open it. Then I saved that file format on the desktop, and imported in after I opened FCP. The file then imported and I was able to access the whole video clip I had! Thanks for your help!

  • Does Canon XF100 work well with Final Cut Pro

    Does the Canon XF 100 work well with Final Cut Pro 7.03

    I have read the information about this camera and I have looked at several discussion groups.  Apparently you cannot edit in native format with this camera. This has been confirmed to me by a Canon rep.  You have to bring in footage thru log and transfer which means it takes more time as it converts.  I have never had to do this before.  Because I have always imported thru log and capture.  So because I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if they are using the camera and if it works well inspite of it.  Or anyone has a better camera recommendation but in the price range of the XF100.
    Thanks,

  • No sound and audio device not working properly, T61 vista

    I unistalled the audio device SoundMax integrated HD audio because I had problems getting the mic of my new webcam (Logitech pro 9000) to work. But after reinstalling the SoundMax audio driver the audio device is no longer working.
    Installing the SoundMax driver doesn't report any problems and the device manger also says that the SoundMax integrated digital hd audio device is working properly. But the speaker icon on the taskbar is crossed out. When hovering the mouse over the speaker icon it says Volume: 0 SoundMax integrated digital hd audio. When opening the Volume Mixer it says "No audio decivice is installed"...
    I've completly removed all drivers and reinstalling several times but I cannot get it to work so I really need some help now.
    All software + drivers regarging the webcam has been completly removed.
    System data:
    T61, Vista business
    Audio chip seems to be a Analog Devices 1984
    SoundMax driver version 6.10.1.5510 (latest available from lenovo)

    Really silly bug, but there are times with the T series laptops, specifically the T61s that seem to not project the sound through the speakers and the way to fix it is to just keep hitting the silver volume buttons up by your power button on the actual laptop.  This may or may not work for you, but I literally just got done with this on a T61 running a fresh installation of XP.  The buttons on the lenovo itself control the direct signal input and do a very poor job with integrating with Windows Vista and XP.
    Let me know if that works for you.

  • SD Card not showing up in Final Cut Pro on the MacBook Air

    I have been using Final Cut Pro X on a Macbook Air (1.7ghz Intel i5, 256gb ssd, 4gb RAM) and when I insert an SD Card, it shows up but immediately disappears. It continues to be displayed on my friends MacBook Pro, but does not on my Air. 

    Apologies! All sorted. My mac was just taking so long to render the audio lol
    Still having issues with syncing audio (zoom h4n) video clips (multicam clip or sync clips). Normally works like a dream even on difficult material, but for some reason now randomly sync's clips way off the mark.
    Cheers

  • All audio tracks won't import to final cut pro...sigh :-(

    Hello I'm Dani, probably a novice in comparison to regular final cut pro users
    I have a big problem with putting any music onto my timeline. It always says 'files not recognised' when I try to import any type of audio file. Thus far I have only managed to place two music tracks onto a timeline, but have been unable to differentiate anything between the two files that import and the hundreds that won't!
    Please help, I think there is probably a really simple solution but I cannot figure it out x thanks x

    Your music tracks are probably in an incompatible format. What are the file extensions for these music files? See if you can bring them into compressor and convert to 48k16 bit aiff (probably the best format for working in fcp).

  • Why won't my timeline play properly in final cut pro?

    My timeline of sequences won't play properly it keeps stopping and then a message comes up - turn unlimited rt off, speed up your system. I cannot play clips properly in the viewer or browser either the scrubber keeps stopping and jumping to another place. I never had this problem before - I have enough gb space on my external drive and hard drive where final cut pro is installed. I switched to unlimited rt and this has not solved the problem. Does anybody know what is happening? Many thanks.

    Thank you for the advice. I rendered everything but still no change. Then I noticed I had (I don't know how I did this) created 2 other files of the same name so I opened one of them up and it was fine. I deleted the other 2. Why there were problems with one of them I don't know. I am getting confused can someone tell me what are the folders final cut pro creates so that I can organise things. Three files were created when I set the scratch disks media files- capture scratch, render file, audio render these 3 folders are empty and yet there is now a file called render files with a constant frames folder in it with a quicktime cf-dvc appl 720x480 1233017 etc files in it and also another folder called the movie name with a sequence-FIN-0000c file in it and the actual movie in none of these folders just on its own on the drive why is that I thought FCP would put everything in the 3 folders created? It just seems very confusing.
    Can someone also tell me why I get a blue line above my clips on the timeline - there seems to be no render colour equivalent.
    I am sorry I am a real pain but I have been reading a book about FCP to guide me and it can't be very good so maybe I will use an online tutorial in future. Any comments will be much appreciated.

  • How do I organise my library to be able see all the projects properly on Final Cut Pro 10.

    I've now done several projects, and if I want to find an old one, I go to open library, and then I have to wade through a list of 'Macintosh HD Projects and Events' and then a long number so I click at random, not knowing if I'm opening 'The Faith Machine' 'Dad's Away' or 'Jack and Jems'. And a lot of the time I'll click on one item, and it will open one project, and then I'll click on another project five more down the list and it'll be exactly the same project that I've opened twice. Just above the timeline there are the two little arrows to navigate between projects but I can only use them if I've gone up to file, open library and click on any of these projects. I have a total of 6 projects but for some reason there are endless projects that seem to come up and I seem to have lost some.
    I knew someone who had Final Cut Pro 10 and she was able to navigate away from one timeline/one project and see all the projects she'd worked on in the space where the timeline is. Then she clicked on each project and that would open. It was very simple, but it seems to be really difficult if i simply want to open up a past project.
    Thanks
    Tom

  • How to replace audio on a music video with final cut pro x

    How do I replace low quality audio on a music video to a higher better quality audio with final cut pro x?
    I have the new audio on cd which I can rip and replace the original audio.
    Some audio and music videos are not of same length, In cases like this how do I sync video to the newly replaced audio?
    Is there any tutorial, link or where to look for this in the manual?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Providing you don't need the video synced or cut to a beat, all you need to do is place your music in the primary storyline
    Connect your video above.
    While your video is connected, hit CMD+R on your keyboard and stretch the video to the length of the music
    If you were to cut the video to a beat, simply add markers on your music track, then connect and trim clips to your markers.
