Canvas/Timeline Gone

My Canvas and Timeline are gone. They're grayed out in Window. I can't remember how to bring them back. Help, please.

Go to browser and double click on the sequence icon.

Canvas, Timeline and Browser missing.

Hey,
My canvas timeline and browser are all missing.

I cant even import any files?..

Sorry! I have just noticed you have cured it!

When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

Problem getting canvas & timeline to display

The timeline & canvas will not display when I open up FCE. FCE has worked great until now...
FYI - I tried the following to correct this problem:
1. Resetting the display mode (windows, arrange, standard & small windows). Note - The canvas & timeline listings in the drop down windows menu were unchecked & displayed in light gray.
2. Reloaded FCE & checked for software updates.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Al -
*Thank you very much! You solved my viewing problem!!!!*
FYI - To ensure that I am able to view the sequence "automatically" every time I open up any of my clips, I will save each project when the sequence is opened.
Not sure what I did differently to cause this to happen recently, but now the problem is solved.
*Thanks Again!!*

Media Not Recognised In Canvas/Timeline?

So I went out to shoot an interview and I have captured the footage from my DV tapes and edited it all in to FCP 6.
I returned to it toda, and the timeline is not recognising the footage any longer! Although the Viewer plays the clips in their entirety, when you play through the timeline, sound comes through, but no picture. Even more confusing, the wireframes of the footage/images are displayed, but the actual image is just black. Not only that, when you drag a perfectly good piece of footage into the canvas, the picture again does not show up!
Anybody got any ideas what could be going wrong? This is the third project I have "lost" through these bizarre goings-on.

Hi,
Check that your canvas is set to show "image" and not just wireframe.

How to preview audio in real time in the canvas/timeline

Hello there, I am new to Apple and FCP (though am an experienced Avid editor) and I have managed to get acquainted on many things already but the following is driving me nuts:
Whenever I try to play most audio clips (sfx or music in mp3/m4a/caf format) in the timeline I get a beeping warning sound as if it was unrendered. This happens even when only playing 2 tracks of audio and nothing else. the same clip plays absolutely fine in the viewer but not in the timeline/canvas. The only clip I have tried that I don't have this issue with is the sample audio clip downloadable from the FCP help menu.
I have made some research and believe this is due to sample rate of the source material which is not compatible with that of the sequence. In this forum someone has advised to convert all audio files to 48Khz/16bit sample rate to make things easier. Does anyone know how I can do this and/or offer general advice on this issue?
Many thanks, Emi Polito.

The list of audio files that FCP can work with is in the manual.... MP3, m4a's etc aren't supported. You need to transfer them to Aif's or WAV files. MP3 and M4a files are delivery formats, not editing formats. Transfering them in QuickTime or iTunes or even FCP or compressor all work to do this. But it has to be done in order for FCP to work with them.

FCE canvas & timeline disappear

So I'm enjoying the new FCE 3.5, and editing all morning with no problem...when suddenly the canvas and the timeline windows disappear. I go to the window tab and lo and behold the canvas and timeline commands are greyed out. How do I activate these windows again? I'm at a loss...nothing in the literature spells this out. Thanksfor the help.

Thanks for your help...It took me awhile to locate the sequence (I had renamed it)...but a simple click rrestored everything.
Thanks again!

No sound at all in viewer or canvas/timeline

Something has happened to the sound output in FCE. I've been using it for a year and only today no sound in computer speakers when in viewer or timeline. The sound in the computer is fine for anything else. FCE v 3.5
Should I reinstall FCE?
Please help! Any advice would be most appreciated.

Ian, u da man
I haven't used FCE in over a year, using iMovie 6 for the little video editing I have done. Now I am up to edit a few Christmas videos, and had the same issue as mvh2. Going to View>Video Out and selecting Canvas Playback did the trick. Thanks!

No audio transfers from viewer to canvas/timeline

Audio & video play fine in viewer...but when I drag the clip to the timeline or do an overwrite or insert edit in the canvas...the video transfers but the audio does not.
Clips that I edited an hour ago are still fine (both audio and video)...but I took a break for dinner and when I returned no audio will transfer. I've even attempted to repeat moving the clips that were fine before dinner and now even they lose audio when I move them. I didn't change any settings and am at a loss. Can anyone give me some help? Thanks.

Tom,
That was it....thanks so much. Don't know how they got unattached...but I've learned another good lesson.

Canvas has gone green and displays nothing...

Hi,
Im using Final Cut Studio 2.
Everything was working ok and I was adding some text and now the canvas won't display anything its just green. New projects are fine its just this project. I really dont want to re-do this project as it has taken me ages.
I guess I must have done something wrong... any ideas?
Is there a way of setting the Canvas back to default setting?

OK well i found some sort of solution but i don't really think things are right...
It was to do with the size.. set fit to window and its ok apart from i get green lines on the previously rendered clips... is this normal?
Would be great to know how to return the canvas window to its default state.

Rendering issue in the timeline/canvas

Hello there,
Whenever I try to to manipulate the display of a clip by dragging the image and repositioning the clip by its handles (using image + wireframe mode) in the timeline, I am unable to preview it in real time (requires rendering). What puzzles me is that if I try and do the same with the same clip in the viewer I am able to play and preview in real time. Is there any plausible reason for this?
I've tried to change sequence playback settings to low quality but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Emi Polito.

It will vary from machine to machine (more power = more RT effects in the Canvas/Timeline) but if it's off, turn on "Unlimited" in the RT button in the Timeline window if it's off.

Problem with jog control in canvas and timeline

Hi, please help
When I try to 'jog' (see the video frame by frame by pressing the L and R arrow keys), it will not work in the canvas/timeline. It seems to work just fine in the viewer, with any clips that have not been entered into the timeline yet, but when I jog in the timeline, I can hear the audio frame by frame, but not the video, it just remains static. This is quite a problem for fine editing... Does anyone know how to solve this or even have a clue how to try??
Thanks

Include a <s:List> component with a custom Item renderer.
See the Flex documentation : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS03d33b8076db57b9-23c04461124bbeca597-8000.html for more details.

Where us my canvas and timeline and why does it say Viewer:slug ????? HELP!

Ok I dont know whats going on but when I go to Window-> Canvas it is greyed out!!! Whats going on pls pls help me!
Thsnks

The Canvas and Timeline options are greyed out because there is no open sequence. Look in your browser for a sequence, double-click it, and the Canvas & Timeline will appear.
By default, the Viewer will load a video Slug, which is just black video.
This is normal.
