Can't Get Rid of Dropped Frames in FCP 7

Hello all,
I am editing in FCP and have only gotten as far as laying down a music track (MP3), and some b-role. I have given myself some space at the beginning of the track, and as soon as the video kicks in I get the dropped frames message. There are no fancy edits or effects, just the video. It happens with both .MOV files taken with my Canon 7D, and with footage I had converted from .MTS.
The RT drop-down menu in the timeline only offers the following options:
Play Base Layer Only
Use Playback Settings
Full Quality
I have gone into Playback Control under System Settings and adjusted the options to the following:
RT: Safe
Video Quality: Low
Frame Rate: Quarter
I am still receiving the dropped frame message. My footage is stored on a 500 GB external Rugged LaCie drive, and is connected using 8-pin FireWire. The footage is being edited in 1080. Everything is up to date.
Much appreciation for your help.

Thank you both for replying.
I converted the audio file (but still getting the error message) to AIFF/16bit/48kHz using iTunes. I had converted the .MTS fils to .MOV with iSkysoft Converter to the following settings:
Resolution: 1920x1080
Frame Rate: 23.97
Bit Rate: High Quality
Channel: 2 Channels stereo
Sample Rate: 44100
Bit Rate: Medium
I did not convert any of the Canon files to Pro Res. What do I need to do with those files? and is there something I can do during capture to help save a step in post?
Thanks again to you both!
Warmest regards,
~Shawn

If you have Soundtrack....
In FCP select your audio track while holding down the control key-send to-soundtrack audio file project. A save window will open asking where to save the file, pick a folder or create one for these files and hit -save-, Soundtrack will open- find a part of your audio without talking,(room tone if you have it) click and drag in the grid and select just that noise, go up to Process-set noise print.
Then go to Process-reduce noise, a new menu will open with sliders. push the play button so you can hear your noise and move the top slider until the noise is almost gone. (if you go to far the vocals will start to sound very digital) play with the other sliders to get the right sound, hit -Apply. Make sure you save. Good luck

Can't get rid of Red Frames or Audio dropouts on PPCC7.2.2

I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.1 using PPro CC and Encoder 7.2.2(33).
Have tried using the "clear the media cache" trick; worked once, but not the second time.
Still getting Red Frames on long exports (more then 8 min).
Also, I get blasts of white noise now and again which scare me out of my chair.
The Noise blasts and red frames happen about 5x in a 00:28:30 Export.
What can I do to rid myself of these problems?

Ask in the Premiere forum and by all means be a lot more specific - proper system info, exact sequence settings, source file info, export settings.

Can't get rid of Photoshop frame when saving image

Hello! I'm having a very frustrating time saving an image from Photoshop to a CD. I hope you can help me.
I have an art piece that was professionally photographed and saved on CD. I recently opened the image with Photoshop Elements and cleaned it up. I tried to save the image (gave it a new title so it wouldn't replace the non-edited original) onto the CD, but when I did, the Photoshop frame (the layers screen, photo bin, etc.) was saved with it. I just want to save the image. How do I do that? Thanks!

Sounds like you took a screen shot. But more likely, your computer is set to open images in photoshop hence the PS frame. Try saving the image as a JPG and opening it with a preview function rather than the default PS.

How can I get rid of "Jagged Edges" in FCP from .psd/.tif/.tga text files?

Hi guys,
I posted this once before but don't know if anyone looked at it or not.
I am getting "Jagged Edges" in .psd/ .jpg/ .tif/ .tga text files
when I edit them in FCP5.1.4.
What is going wrong?
It is getting very frustrating for me at this point.
Can someone help me out please?
Thanks,
Zia

The usual questions...
Have the clips you're looking at been "fully" rendered?
Are you looking at the computer monitor or an external broadcast monitor?
You can't judge what you've got unless you look at FCP output on a broadcast monitor.

A box with a blue outline appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. I can't get rid of it, and it obstructs the view of the bookmarks as I scroll up or down. Help!

I was trying to bookmark a page, using the "Choose" menu in the bookmarks. I must have touched a key by accident, and a box with a blue outline & the name of one of my folders appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. At first the box contained the folder name, then I was trying to delete the box, and erase the name, thinking it might get rid of the box, but it didn't. I can't get rid of this box! It obstructs the view of what is underneath. It stays in the same position as I scroll up & down in the drop-down menu, and it hides what is underneath. Please help me get rid of this box. It is driving me crazy! Thanks!

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. Basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device

Strange frames i can't get rid of

I'm using premiere to cut an already cut movie. this means that most of my edits are close to a pre-existing cut. for some reason single frames are seen in the edits when i play it back, but not when i advance frame by frame.
to make matters worse when i exported my project, even more of these strange frames appeared at almost every cut i made. it makes my edit look incredibly ammaturish, but i can't get rid of them!!
the more i search through the footage frame by frame the less extra frames i see, but the more i play it back, the more appear
it's totally infuriating!

In the context of a straight cut, surely no handles are nessicary?
by straight cut (just so there are no further misunderstandings) I mean that one frame is in one shot and the very next is in another with no transitions such as fades etc. just whack to the next clip; the standard most common cut.
i'm pretty sure handles isn't the problem.

Writelady,
I do not know of any such option. I don't think that it is even possible at this time, however it doesn't mean that maybe sometime in the future Apple or someone else will make a way to do such as your request.
I do however think that you should let Apple know your opinion if you have not done such yet. You can give them product feedback at the following link. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
I hope that this helps,

Sorry, I misunderstood. Apple calls it "the From pop-up menu" — see under Set the From address in this Apple doc:
Mail (Mavericks): Address messages
...Presumably if follow the instructions there and set "Send new messages from" to the address you want, you won't then need to click on the "From pop-up menu" and see the incorrect address.
Perhaps someone else here knows how to remove the incorrect address completely — or try clicking on "Manage your Apple ID" here:

How to get rid off 'long frames'

when I import a movie into FCP and I use the tool 'long frames: mark';
marks many long frames in parts of the movie.
how to get rid off 'long frames'?
thanks
carlos

Long frames are frames whose duration is too long... however sometimes it doesn't matter as you don't see the problem in playback, so if you don't see a jitter there or something, I'd not worry about them.
Dropped frames are frames that are OK, however (usually) your drives can't play them back because they are too slow... they drop a frame to get to the next... this will look worse than long frames do usually.
All that said, if you don't see a problem, you don't have one. Dropping frames is worse though, and I'd suggest that you keep these media files on a fast drive system other than your startup disk. The data rate of the video will determine whether or not you need to use faster disk drives. SATA internals for example will handle 8 bit uncompressed files, but not 10 bit... FW drives range a lot in what they can handle, and the spec should always be MUCH faster than what the data rate actually is. For example, I use G-Raids for 8 bit uncompressed, and 4 gig fibre channel array for HD files. But FW 400 and 800 single drives work great all day long for DV res files, and the fastest of the 800's will handle 8 bit uncompressed if you don't fill them to the brim.

Crazy gap I can't get rid of! help - please??

Hi - my first time on here (well, needing to be on here..!).
I'm having a heck of a time. I've just been hand-coding a fairly
simple site - which I've now finally gotten around to updating.
The site is:
http://www.arcfoto.com
I'm trying to set it up as a fixed (un-resizeable) console
window with a flexible content pane. So - I've been using
dreamweaver to set it all up. But the problem is that I've got this
really persistent gap that I can't get rid of. It's spans the left
and top sides. (about 10px of white) - in the version you see if
you visit the URL - I've had to add gap to the bottom and right -
just to not make it look TOO WEIRD. But I'd really really like to
get rid of it.
The basic architecture is the following: Javascript window
containing tables to organize content. Nothing special - just
rollovers. A friend suggested I could add CSS commands to get rid
of it. I've been doing a fair bit of messing around with any and
all CSS parameters I could.... but nothing seems to really make a
difference. I'm thinking it's got something to do with the
javascript window definition for the window on the entry page
(previous page). But I really have no idea. I'm HOPING, PRAYING -
that someone here might have a suggestion for a quick fix - or a
fix of any kind...! I've been struggling with this for WEEKS
now...!
Thanks.

Martin?
Your PNG files are so huge because you have not properly
exported them from
FW. Just export as JPG images - they'll be fine if you don't
OVER optimize
them, and they'll be MUCH smaller than these are now.
This is a bit hinky -
.style1 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #D1CED0;
border-top: 0;
border-left: 0;
border: 0;
body {
background-color: #666666;
border-left: 0;
border: 0;
border-top: 0;
border-top-style: outset;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
try this -
.style1 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #D1CED0;
border-width:0;
body {
background-color: #666666;
border-width: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-top: 0;
But the big question is: will it work for me?
It could.

Can't get rid of the # when adding text

I'm trying to edit a document in Indesign. I started by doing a Pre-Flight to correct errors and have one left I can't get rid of.
Originally the Text Error was for a font that ID could not find so I changed the font to what was already being used for other text - an included font - Charlamagne Std Regular
When trying to type text into a text box the type jumps to just above the text box where the pound sign (#) sits.
When entering type, even after positioning the curser inside the text box, it jumps the text to right before the pound sign, on top of the text box, and adds a pink box under the text.
I have attached a screen shot to show this. How to I get rid of the pound sign and pink box to be able to simply type some text in the text box (that the pink box is in)? Thanks!

@dkg62 – to make clear what's going on, select the text frame and show us another screenshot.
There are at least four cases where you can get a text like that. All cases imply, that the font you'd like to use is missing. I simulated this by formatting text with a font weight that is not available by a character style.
1. The most likely case: There is baseline shift applied; here in my case 9pt.
All other cases are academical, because the pink highlighting is aligned with the text:
2. Text frame options, baseline set to a fixed value (zero in this case)
3. Text on path and the text frame options (baseline) is just the standard default. You can see a second #-end of story sign inside the text frame.
4. Text on path and the text frame options (baseline) is set to fixed (zero in this case). The second #-sign inside the text frame is shifted above because of the fixed value of the baseline option of the text frame options. And obscured by the pink highlighting.

I have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

TS4003 Since the MobileMe move I keep getting a screen that says "IDisk Conflict Resolver." I've done everything asked to "resolve" the problem but it keeps popping up every few minutes. How can I get rid of this?

Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd
