Over the time I've used FCPX, I've had a lot of unusual things happen…but I've never lost any content or edits because of failure to update the BU file. If this ever happens again, replace the Currentversion with the renamed BU file with the app closed. Then reopen.
And as Tom indicated, increasing RAM is a good idea,

  • Cant add transitions or Photos to timeline in FCPX v10.0.9

    Edited a 6 min video made of 40+ photos with 2 audio tracks, 4 titles effects, etc. Was working fine, was able to transitions but then I all of a sudden I can no longer add anything, I cant drag photos into the timeline, nothing.
    PS the I was redoing the project becuase the ngiht before it crashed when exporting and I had to force quit. When I rebooted the app it only had the version when I first started. I am really getting frustrated with the App.
    Any assistance please.
    ( I am using Macbook Pro 13"/ 4gb ram / 10.7.5 OS )

  • Ripping existing sub-titles and reusing them in new project...

    Hi there folks,
    I've been given the task of converting an existing NTSC DVD-Video into PAL -- amongst other things I need to remove and replace existing distributor logos, etc.
    So I've created all new PAL assets, e.g., the main feature, menus, intro, etc.
    The question I have is that the original NTSC feature has a total of four sub-titles sets of which, if possible, I would like to rip and lay back into the new PAL project.
    Is this possible? And if so how?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kindest of regards, Mark Bateman.

    Many thanks once again Steve, I've subsequently discovered the reason as to why DVDSP refused to acknowledge the double line entries -- or rather how to get around the problem!!
    Removing the video asset from the track allowed the subtitles to be imported correctly... Not sure why, but it worked!!
    Many thanks once again...
    p.s. This particular project began it's life in Encore 2.0 -- oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!! I wil NEVER use that sorry excuse for an authoring package again!! Quite how Adobe have the confidence in bringing it to the Mac platform is something way beyond me... Anyway, apologies for the digression...

  • Why no titles in photos?

    I would like to add titles to photos but I see you can't. That means you can't also add a theme intro if your first media is a photo. Also, need to add dissolves to black.
    Good basics but need to improve for V2.
    I did find a way. Make your photo a movie and then import that into a new project.

    So far titles can only be applied on Video Clips, not Photos.
    In any case, I really like your idea of "Exporting your Photo" into Video, and later reusing it in your Project.

  • How to add title to multiple photos (batch change)?

    How do I add a title to a series of photos in the new IOS Photos (ie do a batch change)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately that's not possible in the current version of photos.
    There's a script workaround on this page if you care to use it

  • Titles will not add to my photos! PLEASE HELP!

    I am having an issue trying to add titles to my photos. I have the photos already pulled down and adjusted for the 'Ken Burns Effect.' I was able to add the 'Music Video' title to my first two photos by simply dragging the 'Music Video' title over to the clip, but now it is creating an entirely new clip with a black background. All I am trying to do is have a small subtitle on my photos, which is an informational DVD I am creating that needs a new subtitle for each picture. Any help would be appreciated!

     
    Creating a color clip
    When you move a video or audio clip in the timeline, you create a gap at one end of the clip. In the clip viewer, this gap is represented by a black color clip. When you play your movie, gaps appear as black (empty) video.
    You can change the color clip to show another color. This can be useful as an artistic element in your movie, or to change the background color for text.
    To change the clip's color:
    Hi Lone:
    I also can´t create a colored clip, when I take info on a clip, there is no option to choose color :-((
    All you need to do is click on the black color box and a color wheel will pop up. you can then select your color.
    b From Apple Help Page:
    1.Select the color clip in the clip viewer and choose File > Show Info.
    2.Click the Color box and choose a color for the clip.
    3.Click Set.

  • PLEASE HELP! Add titles to still photos??!!!

    Hi anyone and everyone,
    I am working on a project that I need to add 'titles' to some still photos!!! I am using iMovie 5.0.2.
    IS THIS POSSIBLE??? I've been pulling my hair out trying to get around it but cant....HELP!! Before I sign myself in!!
    Thanks in advance
    Alan

    Alan,
    "IS THIS POSSIBLE?"
    Yes.
    You don't say how you are going about trying to add titles. So I'm going to guess at what your problem is.
    I assume you have placed photos in your timeline in iMovie.
    To add a title, you need to drag the title down to your timeline by clicking on and dragging the little blue "T" next to the style of title you wish to use.
    Also, make sure you have unchecked "Over black" if you wish your title to be rendered on top of your photo.
    Welcome to the discussions! Post back if you still have problems.

  • Pinned tabs no longer there & cant add new ones

    When I open Firefox, the areas where the nine pinned tabs used to be are blanked out.
    I can no longer click a site that was in them and I cant add new ones.
    I have done an uninstall and reinstall of Firefox, this didn't work.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • HT201087 Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app?  Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking.

    Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app?  Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking. 

    I have an iPhone and occasionally use it for photos, but my main camera is NOT an iPhone.  To be forced to go outside Apple for a product when Apple had perfectly good products available is ludicrous.  But it is what it is, apparently.

  • I lost my phone had everything backed up on icloud.got my new phone,went to retrieve my photos but it duplicated a certain amount therefore used the free 5 gb of data. purchased 16gb then but cant see my old photos or old iphone on icloud account

    I lost my phone had everything backed up on icloud.
    got my new phone,went to retrieve my photos but it duplicated a certain amount therefore used the free 5 gb of data. purchased 16gb then but cant see my old photos or old iphone details  on icloud account. it only shows the certain amount that duplicated but no old phone details or old photos.
    gutted all travelling photos

    If you have a backup of your old phone, the backup should include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup should recover them.  This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.
