Cannot get sequence settings right!

Whenever I import a video and put it into my sequence, I get the red 'needs rendering' bar across the top. I tried to fix the settings using this article as a guide but no luck. Any help please?
Videos filmed on Sony HDR-SR5E. Imported into iMovie and then into FCP version 5.0.4.
When I right click on the media in the timeline and select Properties > Format I get:
Frame size - 1440 x 1080
Compressor - Apple Intermediate Codec
Pixel Aspect - HD (1440 x 1080)
However, in the Sequence > Settings menu there is no 'Apple Intermediate Codec' option for Compressor.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hi Shane,
Thanks for your reply.
When I go to 'Easy Setups', it doesn't give me the option for Apple Intermediate Codec at all. It's currently selected as 'Custom', which has this:
The options it gives me are:
The image looks like it fills the screen 'properly', but still a render line whenever I import...

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple IiD and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    Go into Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calenders then you need to click on your email and make sure you have the thing next to the word notes switch on.
    Then they should sync over the iCloud
    Hope this helps!

  • Cannot get into settings to backup

    I cannot get into mt settings area.  I need to backup.  It just flashes to blank screen then goes right back to home screen.

    Double tap your home button to bring up the recently used apps.  You'll see an app icon below and a page view above.  Swipe the page view upwards with your finger to close your apps fully.  Then tap the home button once and you'll be back to your home screen.  Try to open settings now.

  • Verify: Cannot change sequence settings

    So I just want to be sure that I understand this:
    I cannot change the details of the sequence presets in FCE HD. Correct?
    For example, I can choose the 'AIC 720p30' sequence preset, but I cannot change 30, to say 25?
    If I have an existing clip (AIC codec, 1280x720 @ 25 fps) there is no way for me to bring this into FCE without the software rendering it (thus reducing the quality of the existing clip).
    I just want to be sure I understand this correctly. I am very surprised that I cannot define sequence presets myself.
    Thank you for any clarification you might provide.
    BT

    Thank you Tom - I really appreciate your response!!
    I'm a software developer and I can't tell you how surprised I was when I discovered this limitation. So I decided to try to understand how these presets were defined by FCE.
    It is actually very easy (if you are technically inclined) to create your own presets in FCE.
    1) Find the FCE HD application in your Finder
    2) Right-click on this icon and select "Show Package Contents"
    3) Naviate to Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Final Cut Express Settings/Hardware Settings
    Inside this directory you will find *.fcpre files that define the presets for FCE HD.
    I am not going to explain how to modify these files but those among you who understand file formats should easily be able to create your own presets (it took me about 15 minutes to create a 720p25 preset).
    -BT
    PS: Do *NOT* attempt this if you don't know what you are doing. At an absolute minimum, make a copy of FCE before you start mucking around - if you mess something up FCE will fail to launch.

  • Getting sequence settings to match audio

    Hi,
    I imported a few hours worth of footage into iMovie, because I like the feature where it automatically divides clips when the camera is stopped. Now I have taken all of my footage from the iMovie package and imported it into FCP. All was well except for one issue: I can't get the sequence settings to play the audio without redding it out to be rendered. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can edit these clips in FCP without having to render and re-render the audio?
    Thanks,
    Kyle

    It sounds like you have imported DV video into iMovie which is saved as a DV Stream -this is not the same thing as a QuickTime movie that uses the DV codec -which is what Final Cut Pro works with.
    Any time gained by importing into iMovie is now lost to re-rendering the multiplexed audio in a DV stream back to the discreet audio channels required by FCP.
    You have also lost the timecode relationship back to the original tapes as iMovie does not use timecode and discards it. If you ever need to recapture the material (a failed hard drive is one possible reason), it will be impossible to recreate the edits correctly without painstaking, manual eye matching.
    To retain timecode to tape relationships and produce a file that is directly FCP compatible, you must use FCP to capture.

  • Cannot get into settings on ipad

    I currently have an iphone 6 and an ipad 2 both running ios 8.0.2.  I am having trouble with my ipad, i cannot get into the settings for icloud, messages, facetime, email, and a few other things. I have tried turning handoff off on my iphone. I do have a family icloud account set up.  I have not had time to read up on the new settings of ios 8 so i am wondering if this is just how icloud is now? I let my kids play with the ipad a lot and i would rather them not be able to read/write to my contacts with my text, answer my calls etc.

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • I cannot get to my phone settings.

    I changed my password.  The computer is fine but the iphone is not. It has this message about Photostream. I cannot text or call. I cannot get to settings.  Thank you.

    Hello there dinadinadina,
    It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • How to change sequence settings without CC 7.1 update?

    Well, i was hoping that Adobe will release 7.1 update on October 15th, as promised on some websites. I don't recall, maybe it was Creative COW or any other.
    That's why i have created 720p PRORES proxies for 9x multi-camera live performance shoot which lasts for 2 hours for lag free, fast editing.
    I have sucessfully edited it and promised my clients that on October 16th they will get the whole show in 1080p, high quality.
    So, there is no update yet, and yes, i can relink files to original 1080p, but the multicam sequence is capped to 720p and i simply can't find a way to change it's size.
    The old fashion copy/paste way from one sequence to another does not work, since 720p sequence is linked to multicam edits. In CS6 i could edit ".prproj" file in text editor to change any properties (including sequence properties), but right now in CC, .prproj file contains binary data only, so i can't do it that way either.
    Maybe someone knows any other way to change sequence settings right now, or what is the exact day for 7.1 release?
    Thank you!

    Hi Paolon!
    You need to extract your .prproj using WinRAR to a text .prproj file, then use some text editor such as Notepad to search and replace sequence dimensions
    For example find "1920" and replace it to "1280" if it looks like Īt belongs to a sequence definition.
    I don't recall how it was called, maybe "VideoFrameRect" or something similar.
    First create some very simple project to experiment with, and always make a backup copy in case something goes wrong

  • Cannot paste develop settings to multiple images in Lightroom 3

    I have just started using Lightroom 3 and am only able to paste develop settings to one image.  If I select multiple images it will only paste the setting to the active image, not all selected images. I never had this issue with Lightroom 2.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Hi Dorin
    I think the complaint is still valid - there should be no reason that you should have to toggle to Auto Sync before being able to paste your develop settings to the entire target selection, not just the active image in the selection. It should work with that switch toggled to Sync mode as well -- there is obviously a bug here.
    I am having the identical problem as the original poster. I am using LR 3.3 on a Mac, OS 10.6.5, in other words I cannot get develop settings to copy to all my selected target images while I am in the Develop module, only the active image within the target images, without toggling the Sync button to Auto Sync.
    This even after the release notes for 3.3 say they have corrected for the problem "Paste Settings did not apply to all images in the Develop module Filmstrip" (see http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2010/12/lightroom-3-3-and-camera-raw-6-3-now-avail able.html)
    This is silly. How do we ask Adobe to correct this bug?
    Cheers
