Batch Audio "Overwrite All With Transition" problems

I posted this thread a while back, and it was answered.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1295905&tstart=0
I returned back to the thread because I'm doing the same thing months later, and I needed a reminder.
But now when I do the exact same thing which helped before it does not work. All I keep getting is the message "Insufficient Content For Edit."
That's when I try dragging all video and audio together.
When I lock off video and just drag the audio I get a much longer message which says:
"Edit operation had no effect. Check the target tracks. You may need to open the source clip into the viewer in order to see all of the target tracks"
But that doesn't work either. When I highlight the entire time line and try dragging it into the viewer , the only clip that shows up is the first clip out of the time line of multiple clips.
Thanks for any new help

Final Cut creates transitions by extended the edited shot to create an overlap with the adjust shot. These extensions are called handles. If there isn't enough room to create handles in your shot the handles may inadvertently extend into the adjacent shot, creating flash frames that appear during the transition.

  • Audio acts up with transitions in place, why? Also screwy text

    Running FCP7 and the audio acts up when I add transitions to video clips.
    Gets loud then soft, sounds like the clip itself has been edited.
    How do I fix?
    Also, my text clips are also wonky. I have had to go back in and click on leading to get them to accept any size changes.
    Gotta get this project finished by tomorrow for client and I need to fix this.

    Help, Obi-Wan, you're my only hope. Okay, well maybe not, but someone is, I'm sure!

    Audio and Video tracks are separated to avoid transitions being applied to both. Font is Century Gothic and has been working fine in FCP6 and up til now. It is also a valid font. Scaling the font in the text generator only.
    I deleted prefs, then reopened file and problem still persisted. Then I just replaced each transition int he trouble area and it now plays back okay. The audio file is fine, but it just seems to act up where ever a composition occurred.
    I have also had to work this project between my new MBP an my Mac Pro, which I thought would be okay, but I am wondering if that might be an issue. Ideas? All, and I mean ALL files have travelled daily wiht me to and from work and home for this project and though my back is broken, this is the only problem and I am nearing the end.
    IF the two machines is the issue I am at hte point where I can leave it on my big machine now and work it there.

  • Audio Only Capture with IoHD - Problem

    I'm trying to do an audio only capture in FCP 6.0.1 using our IoHD as the input device. The XLR cables are live and plugged into CHs 1&2 on the IoHD. I've setup an audio only capture preset in FCP but I can't get any levels from the box and the level meters on the AJA do not register anything either. Using a capture preset I made using the Macs internal audio I was able to capture just fine but so far no joy using the IoHD. Anyone run across this problem?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    I'm having a similar problem, and would appreciate advice. I'm feeding analog audio into FCP 5.1.4 through my Multibridge Pro. I too have set up an Audio Only capture preset, and finally figured out how to get the sound coming through. I've selected "Non-controllable Device" in the Device Control menu. But as soon as I click on Capture "Now" the Capture window appears AS THOUGH it is capturing, with the message "press Escape to stop" but the audio is no long audible. And when I press Escape, no clip has been created. I have to close out of the Capture tool and open it again in order to hear the audio coming in and see the VU meters moving again. What's going on? Thanks.

  • Audio dropout, movie sync, transition problems IDVD9

    I created a 55 minute DVD slideshow. Looks great on computer, but when I burn it the following errors occur:

  • Monitors with Gradient Problems?

    Hi All,
    Further to my recent post "monitor screen display terrible!"
    Finding a monitor without spending a lot with excellent picture quality is proving differcult! I have tried a Philips 22" monitor Model 220CW9FB and now a BENQ T900HD 18.5 WS monitor all not as sharp with good contrast as my 4 year old G5 iMac. Also has a gradient problem e.g. as you get up off your chair and continue to look down at the screen the white background of the screen turns light blue then darker and colored parts turn white!? Also looking at an angle to the side anything light blue turns a light brown!? Then as I'm viewing something as in Apple Discussions each box of replies alternate white then light blue and so on but looking at normal distant as you type each box are white. You have to lean back in your chair, twice the distance back to actual see the blue box then white box!?
    What's that all about? I have noticed this on the new 20" iMacs too but the three new 24" iMacs are great just like my Rev A G5 iMac of 4 years. Are these inferior screen problems anything to do with them being TN panels as I've just read about?
    I really don't know where to go from here as the screen quality is important. I'm use to the great screen quality of my old G5 iMac and don't want to go down in quality for the sake of moving from a Mac PowerPC to an Intel Core 2 Duo even though I need this for EyeTV hybrid and all the features of iLife '09 etc.
    I don't want to spend a huge amount for an Apple display as I might as well get the entry level 24" iMac. The main reason for not getting the new iMac is I don't like the glossy screen, although today I heard there is an option for a 24" matt screen... any truth in that? Then again will I be able to return the new Mac mini I've only had for 6 days for a 24" iMac?
    Other suggestions seen here is turning my G5 iMac into a stand-a-loan monitor or maybe a 20-year-old CRT 19" TV I have can be used as a monitor and if so what connections are needed? Any ideas on these options?
    So buying the new Mac mini has created a lot of unexpected problems. I thought as asked about before getting it was told any monitor would have the same picture quality as my old G5 iMac, but after the fact found out this is not the case.
    Thanks for the read & any ideas/thoughts much appreciated...

    AFAIK Hmmm Googled "As Far As I Know"... So far I've tried three monitors (all with gradient problem) so it looks like you are correct. I'll try a couple more today as if I need to return my Mac mini with Philips monitor need to do soon for a 24" new iMac even though the Mac mini is not at fault. I'll have to get use to the glossy screen. While writing this an item "iMac or MacBook display too glossy? Apply inexpensive non-glare LCD protective film" has appeared in MacDailyNews.
    http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/20561/
    Thanks for the idea using my G5 as a monitor but maybe quite an involved process?
    It's a shame in all my research before buying a monitor no salesperson mentioned TN display panels. Mind you since the problem no salesperson has said they know about TN display panels or better monitors, just saying any monitor will work with the new Mac mini. Very frustrating!

  • I'm having a problem in FCP7 with all video transitions. Every transition has a rolling flicker throughout the effect. What is causing this?

    I recently upgraded to FCP7 from FCP6. I am now having an issue in playback with all video transitions. When I add a transition to my video it does not consistently play smoothly. I now appears to have an old "film" like flicker rolling through the effect. Our video was shot on a dslr and brought into FCP with compressor as a prores 422 file. We use magic bullet for our coloring effects which are in place on this video. When I was working on the project in FCP6 I did not have this problem. When the project was complete we upgraded to FCP7. The client has now come back to us wanting additional footage. So I opened the old project up into FCP7 and checked yes to all format updates to meet with FCP7 guidelines. So far this is the only problem I've encountered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello!
    For me it looks like conflict with field order (upper, lower - interlaced).
    Please, check Your sequence settings, maybe it should be set to "field order NONE" if Your source is progressive.
    Next thing You could check:
    in Your timeline with bad transitions look into "Effecs tab" - maybe FCP 7 added "shift field filter +/-1" after opening FCP 6 project.
    In general - try to keep sequence settings same as source settings.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Unexplained problem with transitions

    Friends,
    I'm having an odd problem with transitions. When I insert a transition, the transition cuts off the last few second of the audio of a clip and repeats the previous few seconds of audio. The video in transitioned appropriately.
    This problem appears in all three of the transitions I've tried.
    Has anyone heard of this? How can I remedy?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    I think I've fixed the problem, albeit in a cumbersome way. Some of the transitiosn were between video and inserted still images. I might have adjusted the still image duration after inserting the transition. Then again, maybe not. Deleting the transition and surrounding clips/images and reinserting seemed to solve the problem. The program seemed to copy over a portion of the "left" clip that was equal in length to the portion of the clip included in the transition, but which occurred just before the transition began, and included that portion in the transition. I don't know if that's clear, but the lesson that I've learned is that transitions should be the second-to-last edit made, just before adding music. They are very termperamental.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • Problem with Transition Over Nested Freeze

    In a nutshell:
    My normally co-operative FCP (5.1.4, OS 10.4.10) can't seem to cope with one particular transition, in which a wipe effect overlaps with the start of a nested freeze frame. I seem to be able to do this with no problem anywhere else (even elsewhere on the same Timeline), but it's feeling like this one spot is jinxed!
    The gory details:
    I have a short sequence that begins with 3-4 similar shots, each of which end in a freeze frame, followed by a 2-second "Clock Wipe" transition to the next shot.
    In one particular case (let's call it going from Shot A to Shot B), the Wipe needs to begin several frames BEFORE the start of the freeze. So in that case I've taken the shot + the freeze and nested them, making sure that the nested clip has ample handles. So far, so good.
    But every time I then try to apply the transition, I get the not very informative error message: "Not Found." When I click OK (the only option available), the Canvas suddenly goes red, and displays the message: "Display unavailable. Close and reopen window to restore."
    But if I do close the window, both the Canvas and Timeline disappear and can't be reopened -- they're each greyed out under the "Window" menu, and Cmd-2 and Cmd-3 do nothing. If I close the sequence tab and then try to re-open the sequence, nothing happens.
    Meanwhile, if I don't close any windows, and just move the playhead somewhere else on the Timeline, the red Canvas seems to go back to normal. But if I then try to play that Timeline (no matter where the playhead is cued), I keep getting the same "Not Found" error message. If I Undo to before the point where I applied the transition, I STILL get the "Not Found" error!
    In fact, once that "Not Found" error message appears, the ONLY way I've found to get access to that particular Timeline again is by doing a Revert Project. (Other sequences continue to work fine; it's just this one which can suddenly no longer be found.)
    For anyone still interested, here's the troubleshooting I've tried:
    - Doing the same procedure on another transition in the same Timeline -- works fine (even when applied to the very next transition -- the Shot B to Shot C one -- in the Timeline).
    - Applying a transition that's shorter, and therefore doesn't overlap with the freeze "embedded" in the nested clip. This seems okay, but as soon as I then try to make the transition longer, so that it begins before the start of the nested freeze, it's the "Not Found" message again, and another Revert Project.
    - Tried re-creating the nest: nothing. Tried re-creating the freeze frame, then re-creating the nest: still no change. Tried recreating the freeze on a different frame: no difference.
    - Tried applying different wipes to the trouble spot -- but with the same result: if the wipe was short enough not to overlap with the freeze that's inside the nested clip, no problem; if the wipe is long enough that it starts before the nested freeze, it's another "Not Found" message and another Revert Project -- but ONLY for this one transition.
    - Tried applying the wipe different ways (straight from the Browser; Option-dragging a copy of the transition from elsewhere on the Timeline; even making it a Favorite and applying it from the Effects menu).
    - Tried copying all the clips from the sequence over into the empty Timeline of a fresh new sequence: no difference.
    - Tried deleting the master shot altogether, and bringing in a new copy of the clip from the Browser: no difference.
    - Tried deleting all the render files associated with this one sequence, the re-importing the clip from the Browser and re-creating the Freeze then the nest yet again: still no difference.
    - Tried replacing the shot with a different clip of a different take altogether -- same thing!!!
    - Made sure disk permissions were repaired, and even did a complete rebuild of the directory of the disk which has my FCP master project files plus the app itself (using Disk Warrior).
    At this stage, ANY suggestions would be hugely appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi John,
    How are you making the freeze frame? Shift n? Saving as subclip?
    Shift-n.
    Does the freeze frame have ample handles, or just the clip?
    Handles galore.
    Is there a reason that the sequence needs to be nested? How does it work if you put the clips directly into your main timeline?
    It's not the sequence itself that's being nested, just a given shot together with its freeze frame. And that was so I could then begin the transition effect to the next shot BEFORE the start of the freeze frame. If the clip plus its freeze remain unnested on the Timeline, FCP treats the freeze as a separate clip, and won't let me stretch the start of the transition (to the next actual shot) past -- i.e. to the left of -- the start of the freeze.
    But if the freeze and the shot which leads into it have been nested, then FCP should treat that nest as a single clip, and let me extend the transition effect I apply to it as far back into that nested clip as I want. At least that's the theory -- and it's worked for me at other times. Why it isn't working in this one case is what's driving me bonkers!
    Anyway, thanks for the note.
    Cheers,

  • Problem with projects with transitions

    Hi everyone,
    I have a (iMac 27-inch mid 2011) with 10.7.5. When I am working with a project in iMovie and in this project I insert transitions (effects into photos), I have a problem when I make export (share) of the project: at 4 minutes the iMovie makes freeze and it doesn't response. If I delete the transitions then the process works fine. The hard drive is empty (more that 800Gb empty)
    I updated all the apps, I deleted (with AppCleaner) the iMovie and reinstalled it (with Mac App Store) but nothing.
    There is some option like iPhoto to rebuild database with CMD + ALT or something?

    Hi AppleMan1958,
    The problem is that in the event I have only pictures, no videos. When I insert transition effects between images or insert music not export the video. If I remove all the transitions and music then there is no problem when exporting.
    I tried to transfer the project with DropBox to other iMac and it works perfectly and I export the video without problems.
    So the problem is in my iMac. Some plist that not erase AppCleaner?

  • Problems with transitions and HD video from a Canon Powershot....

    Hello:
    First of all thanks a lot for taking the time to look at the question.
    I have recently bought a Canon PowerShot SX200 IS, mainly for photos but it can also record HD video.
    The videos it makes are H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions
    PCM lineal, 16 bit little-endian entero firmado, 1 canales, 44100 Hz and are .mov
    I have a Mac Pro, 2.66 with 5GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB videocard.
    and finally my Final Cut is 6.0.6
    __Ok, so here´s the problem:__
    I can play the videos on Final Cut with no problem, it just has to render the music but when I want to use any dissolve it doesn´t work, well it doesn´t work with any transition at all between the same videos of the canon or with others formats.
    To explain a little better I give you an example. I drag the cross dissolve to two different videos of the same camera and they don´t stick or sometimes it only sticks on one of them, but mainly it doesn´t stick.
    Any ideas?
    If you need more info please let me know.

    *ohh, thanks Nick :)*
    Now I get it, this solves so many question of failed transitions that I never realized over the years, hehe. +I know I say that it was the first time but with the answer I just get it that I had this problem before but I didn´t connect with this one :(+
    Now it seems so obvious that I feel a little dumb but it´s better 15 minutes of stupidity that a whole life of it Well in my case it was like 4 years but it´s better than a life time, hehe.
    Thank you all for thanking the time to answer my question.

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.

  • Problems with Transitions in FCP Exported Files - How to Fix?

    I have completed an HD 16:9 project which plays properly with transitions in FCP 5.1.4, but when I export it, the transitions have a momentary "blink" to black just as the they begin, and then they complete normally -- a very distracting annoyance. I tried several different transitions, and the same problem occurs. I also tried exporting to several different formats and the problem persists. I also tried applying the flicker filter and the deinterlace filter with no success. I would appreciate any help!

    I would also check to make sure the frame rates between your media and sequence really match. This type of thing has also been seen when working with 24p DV50 material - renders such as transitions were showing time shifts and repeated frames.
    If this is HDV, you might try isolating one offending transition, exporting the clips as AIC and rebuilding an re-rendering it just to see if it helps. If it does, you could probably use media manager to convert all of the clips in your sequence and reconnect automatically.
    Hope this helps -

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
