Capture willl not work with FCP 5.1.1 installed on Mac Pro 2.66.

I need some help, Please!
Hello, I have just installed my crossover copy of Final Cut Studio 5.1 in a new Mac Pro.
The only problem that I have encountered is with capture. After running for
several seconds capture stops and the spinning beach ball makes its entrance.
After several minutes of spinning the capture moves on for a few more
frames. Again the beach ball will spin for several more minutes. This continues until I click on
STOP at which point the spinning beach ball takes over the machine and will
not give me back control until I turn off my transport/deck. I have reinstalled
only FCP 5.1(not the other apps. from FCS) with no luck. I didn't uninstall the previous copy. No improvement.
All my settings are the same as recommended in Easy Set Up.
The tape and deck work fine on a similar machine with similar software.
I have also found a similar problem with the installed copy of iMovie.
This software was used on a G5 before moving it over to Mac Pro with out
problems. I am at a complete loss. I hope you can embarrass me with a
simple solution.
Thank you for your help.

avidvid, thank you for you advice. I did check the system profiler and the device is
recognized, but to no avail. In fact it is getting worse. When I initiate log and
capture I can hear the transport working. It is moving all the time even though
the capture window is now only showing the color bars. The "beach ball" is now
constantly whirling and will only stop when the "deck" is turned of at the source.
I am worried that I have messed up the reinstall. I am really not sure how much
"stuff" I must remove from the system, or whether to reinstall the entire suite.
Thanks again for your trouble.

Focusrite Saffire interface not working with FCP 4?

I can't seem to get my focusrite saffire audio interface to work properly with FCP? It works fine with all other apps (itunes, QT, Logic etc) and all the other Studio apps (Motion, DVD Pro and Soundtrack Pro) - but in Final Cut the sound is 'distorted' and 'jumpy'? All focusrite and FCP software is upto date.
Has anybody else had this sort of problem? Is anybody happily using the saffire with fcp? (I can't seem to find any on the search!)
it seems strange that it wont work with fcp but work with the other apps of the package? I can't see any sort of settings in fcp to solve this issue? Any help?!

I am actually only using it to play back audio 'syncd' with picture straight off camera or importing clips from quicktime/DVD's etc. in FCP - it is this that I can't hear correctly? (all the clips are fine by the way played in other aps etc)
Yes, editing is done in Soundtrack Pro or Logic Pro (used to have pro-tools mbox - but decided to ditch it and go down the Logic route with another interface!) - but I expect to be able to hear basic audio with picture in FCP?
Sample rates are matched?...

DIVX Converter/Codec not working with FCP and OS 10.7?

For years, I've used the DIVX Converter/Codec to output video files from Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 via the Export/Use Quicktime Conversion/Divx as a .divx file. But today, after I upgraded my OS from 10.6 to 10.7 and installed the latest version of DIVX Pro, the normal output functions pop the screen showing that the output processing has started, but it then hangs with "0%" showing in that screen. Is DIVX no longer compatible with FCP in 10.7? Or, is there some additional setting change needed somewhere to make it work as usual. Oddly, DIVX has no email contact information on its site's "Support" section and nothing in their forums appears to address this. Any suggestions or info appreciated.

You ask this question at FCP forum this is FCP X forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io

Working with EXCEL and WORD files on a Mac Pro

Hello,
I have a lot of EXCEL and WORD files and the compatibility with NUMBERS and PAGES is not really satisfying. Is there a EXCEL and WORD app which runs without surprises on a Mac Pro?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

Midi Parameters not working with FCP X Effects

Hi...
I am creating a FCP X Effect in Motion 5.
In motion I am assigning a Midi Parameter to the Level Input Black Slider.
In Motion it works perfectly and the while turning my midi controller the Levels Input Black follows along, nicely.
Then I apply the effect inside FCP X but nothing happens when I turn the midi controller.
I HAVE published the midi node to the template but it somehow in FCP X it doesnt work...
Is FCP X not capable of Midi ??/
Thanks for any replies...

As you've discovered, that won't work.

Display mirroring not working with my TV once I installed Yosemite. Any help?

I just installed OSX Yosemite v 10.10.1 onto my 2012 MacBook Pro. I have been using the mini port to use an adapter so that I can display my screen onto my TV. Once I installed Yosemite, it is no longer working. Any suggestions? Is there a plug-in?
Thank you David

Every day I like Apple products less, may be Apple had secretly merged with the garbage maker the new name is Applesoft. I purchased this adaptor for my iphone 4 two weeks ago, it was working ok, except the occasional annoying message "this accessory is not optimized for this iphone", but this is an Apple product, W.T.F?
Yesterday, it suddenly completely stopped working, I am sure it's not because of my HD monitors and TV, because I tried on four different HD TVs, I updated to iOS 4.3.3, nothing seem to work. for a $40 dollars tiny cable it seems like a big rip off from Apple just like they did with the $39.00VGA cable(which you can get for $2.00 on eBay) except it would not pass the Apple's so called "optimized" rip-off I am going back to Apple today to see the so called "Genius" and demand they give my money back and give me a working cable, they have to compensate me for wasting my time!!

Youtube not working with chrome, safari and firefox only on mac computers 10.7

no clue why. This has been happening for quite awhile

Nope, that was done a while ago. Deleted and re-installed as well. Did a discussion search and it looks like it hasn't been resolved for the majority the lion users. If I shut the computer down and re-start it will work for a while.

HP AiO on iOS7 document capture not working with iPad2?

Has anyone else found that the Document Capture does not work with the latest version of HP AiO Remote on iOS7? The app grumbles about "The document capture feature is only available if the camera on your iPad is over 5 megapixels" - any solutions to this problem as we have about 95 iPads out in the business that need to use this function regularly

Hi VijayJois,
I understand that you are getting an error message when trying to use the capture feature in HP's AiO Remote app.
The capture feature in the most recent version of the app will give the error message that you are seeing. A work around to this is to take a photo instead of using capture. The photo is now available in the AiO app in your camera roll to send to the printer, or send via email.

Compressor not working with mavericks

My Compressor is not working with FCP get error code, and will not open, gives message can't use with OSX I have and have Compressor 4.0. Of course, Mavericks was free and now have to spend money to get new version of Compressor. No updates are showing in Apple Store. Anyone have a resolution or am I going to have to buy new Compressor?

If you didn't buy from the App Store, you'll have to find your purchase records and contact Apple to sort it out.

Device not working with Log and Transfer in FCP

I am trying to get some footage off my camera into final cut pro, but Final Cut Pro does not recognise my device when I try to use Log & Transfer
The camera is question is a Cannon Legria FS20, here is a link
http://www.canon.co.uk/ForHome/Product_Finder/Camcorders/flash_memory/LEGRIAFS20/
I have looked around but can't seem to find any plug-ins to get it to work with Final Cut Pro, does anyone know any way I can get it to work with Log and Transfer
Upon inspecting the hard drive, it saves video files in .MOD format with an .MOI file (which i assume is a metadata file
How can I get it so that my device works with log and transfer?
Thanks

Hi -
I did a little Google searching for information on your camera and it appears that it is a Standard Definition Camera that records in the MPEG-2 format.
Log and Transfer only works with High Definition material.
You will need to convert your video clips into a format that will work with FCP.
I know nothing about working in PAL, but you want to download an free application called MPEG Streamclip from
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
This application will convert your MPEG-2 files into a format that you can use directly in FCP.
Once you have converted the files to Apple DV-PAL, with the correct frame rate (25fps?) and field dominance you can either simply drag the converted files into FCP or import them using File > Import.
Hope this helps.

I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve. I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.
I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade. Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
Good luck.

FCP not working with Leopard

Every time I try and launch FCP5 Studio 2 it gives me the "This application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly." Anyone have a solution to this? Anyone else experienced this?
Do I just have to wait for an update?

Having same problem with FCP v 6.0.1 and tried the FCP Rescue 6..... Also does not work with Leopard.
I am just about to try this proceedure.
Delete the User Preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Pro user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
Remove the “com.apple.finalcutpro.plist” file from the Preferences folder.
Remove the “Final Cut Pro User Data” folder from the Preferences folder.
Will report shortly.

Capture devices that work with Final Cut Express

Would any one out there be able to recomend a reasonably priced video capture device that works with FCE other than a video camera? I want to input video and audio from VHS and DVD. I also want to input Audio from cassette and CD.
imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I am in a similar situation. All I can say is that the ADS Pyro AV Link works well with iMovie but not with Final Cut Express or Pro so I returned it.
I am waiting for a DataVideo DAC 100, Their web site gives specific instructions as how to use the DAC with FCP so I am hopefull that it will work with FCE.

The Canopus ADVC 110 has also been recommended on this forum.

Configure Macbook Pro with one hard drive to work with FCP

I would like to do some video editing while on the road. I have a new Macbook Pro with Final Cut installed. I know that the capture scratch should not be on the same hard drive as the application. How do I set up the computer to work with FCP when I have only one hard drive. I do have external hard drives to use when editing at home but I would like to edit while traveling in the car or on a plane.

If you don't have an external drive attached, FCP will default to the system drive. The CAPTURE SCRATCH folder will be located in the DOCUMENTS>FCP DOCUMENTS folder. You CAN edit on the system drive, but performance might suffer and you might get dropped frames. DV, OFFLINE RT are fine, HDV and other formats might give you headaches. I have edited DV and OFFLINE RT HD on my laptop's hard drive on a plane without much problem.
Get a bus powered hard drive like the G-Raid Mini. This way you only need one power source.
