Cinema Tools won't let me conform a video clip

I'm using FCP 7 and CT 4.5. I want to conform a 30p clip to 24p in CT, but when I open the clip in CT, the "conform" button isn't clickable/activated. However, when I open other clips, the button is clickable.
What are possible reasons that CT won't allow you to conform a clip?

Well, since FCP-7 does not work correctly or reliably with H.264 files, use Compressor to convert your source material to an edit friendly codec such as ProRes.
Once that is done, you can use Cinema Tools if you want to, and the whole experience in FCP will be better.

  • Laptop won't let me play any video or change the brightness of the screen at all.

    I got this new Laptop a few months ago and it has just recently started to play up slightly and not let me change my brightness settings at all and now it won't let me play any videos.

    I got a solution
    First check out your performance settings and if u dont know where to find it just right click on my computer and enter to propreties then click on performance and tools, then if the gamming and desktop aero system are 1.0 then you have three solutions.
    1) Install a new windows
    2) check out your computer driver and install tge latest version
    3) or simply you can download DRIVER PAC SOLUTION and install it then after installation is done you might wanna restart the system and check performance again then it should desplay NEW HARDWARE DETECT REFRESH NOW then click on refreah and the rating is gonna go up from1.0.to higher than 4.0.

    9 hours??!
    Twice the length of a cinema epic?
    How are you expecting to distribute it?
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • What is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    what is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    Size is not the issue. In the old iPhoto you used to be able to share a video and it would compress it to fit an email friendly size. It doesn't do that anymore from iPhoto. I miss that feature. I have to export the video from iPhoto to my desktop then take into the old Quicktime 7 to share in email. Crazy.
    It shouldn't be that complicated. I shouldn't have to find a work around. I guess apple wants to put  you in a box so you have to do it "their way" via uploading to iWeb or iCloud instead of emailing video.
    I don't like those options being taken away.  While the quality may suffer by compressing for email, it is still the most direct and unconvoluted way of sharing something fairly quickly. I don't want to have to post to YouTube or Vimeo or iCloud and send a link. Just compress the video and hit send in an email and be done with it.

  • IMovie won't let me share my videos

    Er, Audition doesn't have a liquify tool. Dunno which CS6 app does, but that's the forum you should post on.

  • Macbook pro won't download adobe and won't let me watch youtube videos

    i just got a macbook pro for christmas and it won't let me watch any youtube videos. it tells me to get the latest adobe flash player. I've tried downloading it multiple times, but it still won't work.. Help!.

    Hey there, the exact same thing happened to me last night except for not being able to download adobe. Just make sure your connected to the internet(I know you probably are) and try downloading. I don't have an answer as to why you may not be able to download anything but for what it's worth, if you get to download adobe - install adobe then I close everything, restart, then it will all work
    I hope this helps you my friend

  • Perspective View using orbit tool won't let me rotate in certain directions

    Is the perspective view able to view in all directions and angles? Often when I use it with the orbit tool I can rotate about the X and Y planes but not the Z. Or Z and Y but not X. I was under the impression that the perspective view and the orbit tool would allow you to get any angle/view you wanted. Or perhaps I may be using the orbit tool wrong. But I tried to click and drag in all directions, but is not orbiting in the direction I want.

    Thanks Mark,
    The orbit tool at the top right is not letting me view about an axis. Are you suggesting I hold the command while using the orbit tool as well?
    Also, when you say hold the command and click and drag within the bands in the Canvas, wouldn't this change the orientation of the object or camera? All I want to do is change my perspective view to the angle I want so I can edit 3d motion paths with more precision.

  • Selection Tool Won't Let Me Resize Text Boxes?

    Whenever I try to resize a text box with the selection tool, it won't allow me to resize. I tried the text tool as well, but it didn't work. I don't want to resize the text, just show text that is hidden. I'm crrently using CS4. Can someone help?

    If this is really an area text, then maybe you've just hidden the bounding box. See in View menu how to show it again.

  • My iPhone won't let me watch my video

    Today, I took a video of a little boy break dancing, and it is 42 seconds long. Then, at the end of the dance, I went back to my video to watch it, and a pop up showed up and said "This movie format is not supported." Is there something wrong with my phone? Because this has never happened before. I tried putting it on my computer to watch it, but that didnt work either. It wouldn't let me watch it on QuickTime or Windows Media Player. I also can watch all my other videos I've taken. Only the one I took today won't work. I have also tried restarting my phone, but that doesn't seem to work either.

    It is covered in the basics section of the manual:

  • What's a good video app to use? I have iPhoto and iMovie, but they won't let me email a video. I also want to be able to make a dvd of my home movies. Any suggestions?

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

  • MacBook won't let me trash Quicktime iMovie clips?? Whatup?

    I am trying to trash a Quicktime imovie clip. When I drag the clip in the trash, I am asked to give my password. Then I get the message:
    "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    Have any of you dealt with this? Any tips?
    Thanks,
    Eddie

    Thank you so much. You rock.
    I'm going through the process of trying to clean up my hard drive. My MacBook has been serving me well for 3 years now and I'm trying to avoid the fatigue that my past Macs have suffered from. Let me know if you have any maintenance tips.

  • I know i am online but iChat won't let me talk or video chat

    I try to log onto my @mac.com account, as well as my AIM accounts, but it does not let me talk to anyone. It says i'm online, but i know that on other's buddy lists i am not. This is so frustrating because it happens all the time. The only way i have fixed it in the past is by making a new account, which i don't really want to do like every week. Can someone please help?

    Hi,
    From the way you describe things I think at the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts you are listing some AIM names with Running Men next to them and a Apple @mac.com one with a blue globe.
    There has been at least one other thread where the poster said he could not get his @mac.com name On-line.
    Until yesterday I had not had a problem but I can not get a response from my @Mac Name then.
    It has come back today
