Codec trouble with FCP6

Hi everyone, I have Final Cut Pro 6 and have trouble regarding with codec. I referred to the past discussions, but I could not figure out what was wrong.
First of all, I just started to learn how to use final cut pro and I bought "Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro 6". The book comes with lesson files on DVD.
My trouble is that I can't open the lesson files accompanied with the training book properly.
I first copied the lesson on my desktop, then clicked the file, but the display says ""Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card". ".
I don't know why this happens.
I have an Intel processor iMac I bought 5months ago and I recently installed Final Cut Studio2. I believe that my Mac has a good system enough to handle the files.
When I open the files directly from the lesson DVD, only audio plays, but no video.
What is codec? It seems that my computer can handle almost all types of codec. Do I have to download something?
The training book says, "In order to reduce the file size, the clips you will edit were recompressed using the new Apple ProRes 422 codec.".
Umm, I have no idea what to do. It will be my great pleasure if anybody knows the answer!!

Yes, I have the latest version of FCP6.
Actually, I read a review about the training book and some people also had the same trouble, so it might be the training DVD whic his causing this whole trouble.

  • Trouble with RED Log and Transfer in FCP6

    Hi there,
    I am cutting my first RED feature and am having an issue getting all my footage into FCP 6. I decided to go with the RED Quicktime files and am Log and transferring them in as we speak. Most of the footage was able to be dropped right in with no problem what so ever but I am on the last 1TB hard drive and it won't mount the folders to transfer the footage except one. One folder when in fine but the rest won't even mount. I tried importing each .RDC folder in on its own but I get an error:
    WARNING
    "A008c001_0212LV001.R3D" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    Obviously these files are put together the same way as the other couple hundred files but these ones are giving me trouble. Has anyone else ran into this problem and how do I get the footage in.
    By the way I can open the .R3D files in Red alert without any problem
    Thanks,
    ~Jake

    A while has passed, unfortunately. I've been working my way through this mess, as well.
    When you get the "unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure" message it usually indicates that a catalog-like file is missing. The same now happens with P2 transfer.
    Check for an ".rsx" file within the RDC folder. Log and Transfer may not be happy if this file is missing. Sometimes it gets missed when the media is being consolidated across drives.
    ** What I'm having trouble with now is that Log and Transfer repeatedly fails to load a selected directory --- except on the umpteenth attempt. You know, the one where I'm beyond the point that most normal people are up the Bell Tower sniping at the citizenry.

  • Troubles with effects and colors in FCPX 10.1.4

    Hi to everybody.
    I have a problem with colors using the effects.
    Lets look at more less neutral picture (picture no 1)
    ftp://ftp.strefa.pl/Zrzut%20ekranu%202014-12-16%20o%2022.34.30%20%283%29.jpg
    If you look at the RGB Parade you see the down part of the RGB distribution is ok.
    But if I start to use any effects the Parade changes in this way:
    ftp://ftp.strefa.pl/Zrzut%20ekranu%202014-12-16%20o%2022.34.54%20%283%29.jpg
    You see, that the down part of the color distribution (for all 3: red. green and blue) is cut-off, even when I use the effects which shouldn't influence on the color.
    I spent some hours to find any logic, and I discovered following regularity:
    1. The source movie I imported came from Nikon D7100 (.mov), 1920/1080i
    2. The behavior of FCPX during the playback of those clips is crazy and ustable (few seconds like in pict.1 few second like in pic. 2).
    3. I have instaled the newest versions of Nikon D7100 firmware and of course FCPX 10.1.4. I think (not 100% sure) the trouble with FCPX appeared after 10.1.4 update.
    4. I don't have any troubles with other camcorder (Canon XF 100)
    Did somebody have simillar effects / troubles with FCPX? Any solutions? I have a job to do, and this situation completly devastating my deadlines.

    You would probably find more direct help by talking to other Nikon shooters who use FCPX. M
    I don't know anything about the Nikon codec or why it might be giving you trouble while others do not but have you tried simply transcoding the footage to ProRes422? Your files will expand by a factor or three or four but you will not have these difficulties.

  • Trouble with flickering after converting AVCHD files to Apple Pro Res 22

    Hi guys.
    I have figured out that Apple Pro res 22 is the best format for my AVCHD files.
    But I am having trouble with the files after converting them to this format.
    Every 60 frames I have a blurred frame.
    This results in a flickering effect when watching the clip.
    The original MP4 clip (AVCHD) plays fine on the Mac but when I convert is it flickers.
    I have captured a still shot of the frame here
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/FrameError.jpeg
    Here are the settings I am using for the conversion
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/Error.JPG
    Here is the converted file in Apple Pro Res 22 format with the flickering
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/SANY0007.mov
    I'd appreciate any help that you can offer.

    Actually I think I might have found the answer.
    After diggin deaper into the camera manual I have discovered that the setting I had it on "Full HD" actually is interlaced not progressive. Even though tha badging on the camera says Progressive"
    So I think something got lost when converting the files to apple pro res.
    I just shot a 10 sec clip on "Full HR" which is the progressive function and it converted nicely.
    I'll come back to this post after shooting and making a little test movie today.
    Thanks for your help.
    PS. I wonder what codec it actually shoots in. Apparently it is not AVCHD but MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression (I thought that was AVCHD)

  • Trouble with PE8 and AVCHD video

    Hello,
    I have a good spec. computer with a Intel Core i7 CPU 930 @ 2.8Ghz and a NVidia Quadro FX580 graphics card and want to be able to edit video from my Panasonic HDC-HS9 camcorder.
    I can play video footage through Windows Media Player just fine, but the video is pixelated and generally not very good when viewed in the preview window in PE8.
    I have got Quicktime version 7.6.6 but if I try and play the video through that it states that 'Error 2048: Couldn't open the file 00282.MTS because it is not a file that QuickTime understands'. I read somewhere that you need to have the latest version of QuickTime installed and was wondering if this a symptom of the problem.
    I have downloaded GSpot v2.70a and looked at the file I am trying to play and it states that the Container File Type is 'MPEG-2 Transport Stream and Mime Type: video/mp2t.
    My Panasonic manual says that I am recording in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec.
    It just seems odd that image quality is perfect in WMP and poor in PE8? I have also noticed that when viewing thumbnails in PE8 organiser it does not display an image at all?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Bill Hunt,
    Thanks for taking the trouble. My responses are in red.
    QT is unlikely to be able to play the file. It is, however used by PrE for other playback operations. IIRC, 7.6.6 is the latest version, unless a new one has JUST hit. Now, that said, 7.6.2 & 7.6.3 exhibited problems in other Adobe programs. Many found 7.6.6 to be good, but some others did not, and rolled back to the "last known good" version, 7.5.5 (the one that I use on all computers, until 100% of Adobe users report otherwise). Thanks for the advice.
    Now, when you have Imported the AVCHD material into an AVCHD Project Preset, is there a red line above the Clips in the Timeline, just below the Timeline Ruler? Yes, the red line is present.
    What is the Magnification of your Program Monitor in PrE set to?. I use 100% for critical viewing, as Fit is a very poor emulation. By default ‘fit’ was selected – I changed it to 100% (and others) but no effect on image quality Now, I do not believe that PrE 8 has added the Program Monitor Quality settings, like in PrPro, but Rt-click on the Program Monitor and check to see if Quality is in the drop-down menu. You’re right, no quality control setting. There are playback settings but again tried all permutations.
    Also, check to see if you have Hardware Acceleration (do not think that Win7 has that any more), and try adjusting that. I have run the DirectX diagnostic tool within Win7 and everything is fine.
    Check for the very latest video driver, and if there is any newer one, install that. Got the very latest drivers from NVidia website.
    Look at GPU Acceleration, and adjust that, then test. I have enabled the PhysX GPU acceleration within the NVidia control panel.
    Otherwise, you system seems plenty beefy enough to handle AVCHD footage.
    One last question - please tell us about your I/O sub-system, i.e. the HDD's, their size, speed, free space, controller type (Marvell 64xx/63xx SAS Controller that is up to date) and how you have them allocated.
    I have two Hitachi 1TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm) – no RAID configuration. I had the drives factory partitioned as detailed in the attached screen grab. Win7 64 bit and PrE is on the C drive and the video files in the H drive. If I ever get round to doing some editing I was going to use the D drive as a working space. I’ve seen some forum discussions that advise against partitioning but I thought I was keeping things neat and tidy by doing so?
    RAM - 6GB CORSAIR XMS3 TRI-DDR3 1333MHz
    With other Video formats, that is the most important aspect of a computer, but with AVCHD, the
    PS - you have upgraded to PrE 8.0.1 haven't you?
    I don’t know if I am using the 8.0.1 version [The help about screen shows 8.0] as I am currently using the trial version of the software and do not have the option to check for updates through the help menu. I am very keen to buy the full version as I have used Photoshop Elements for some while and want to remain consistent. I also use Acrobat 9 Pro and there must be advantages in keeping everything with Adobe.
    I don’t really understand video codec and don’t know whether it is right to assume that because the file plays fine through Windows Media Player, I can assume it is not a codec issue with PrE. Do WMP and PrE share codecs?
    I am not sure I’ve given you anything to work with but again would appreciate any pointers. If nothing else I am learning quite a lot as I go along!

  • Trouble with audio driver HPG60-243C​L

    Hello.
    A few days ago, I needed to format my notebook (model G60-243CL) and I did everything just like I'm used to do. I reinstaled Windows 7 and after instaling the drivers downloaded from HP drivers page, I had to restart the computer. That's when my troubles began.
    Sometimes, when starting up, everything goes on properly until the Windows loading screen, when my computer suddenly restarts again. It doesn't happen everytime and it seems a bit random to me. However, I noticed that when it finally turns on after restarting several times, the audio is a bit odd in every application that involves audio like musics players, videos and games.
    On the rare occasions where my notebook manages to start up properly, the audio stays normal.
    I already tried formating again, reinstaling the audio drivers and codecs, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    There is no simple way to record sound in Java, AFAIU.
    Uncle_Sam wrote: ...on some mixer and then play it back. ...
    Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.
    Is it not possible to record computer audio when a microphone is connected? If it is, how?
    Significant question. Are you interested in getting this code to work for the machine you sit in front of, or is this for 'the general end user'?
    I have no general solution for the latter, but for a single machine, installing an 'audio loop-back' (either software or hardware) might be the answer. That is the most intelligent thing I can offer that might help get around this problem.

  • I am finding FCPX has trouble with mixed audio sample rates

    I am just putting this thread out there to ask if anyone has experienced issues with mixed sample rates in the timeline?  Specifically I have noticed that a timelilne with an audio rate of 48KHz with have troubles with a song at 44.1KHz - this is irrespective of what sort of video codec I am using. It happens to me a lot lot with stills actually.
    If I preconvert to 48KHz, I do not have the same issue. Just asking if this has been discussed or mentioned elsewhere so I can figure out if it is just me.
    Thanks

    You might want to duplicate the capture preset for DV/NTSC 48k and change the audio to 32k.
    Then try that.
    But I'd also change the JVC's audio settings to record in 48 while you're waiting. Should be able to do it... cheap or not.

  • Trouble with choppiness

    I just got a Cannon Vixia HF10 and Final Cut Express. I finally figured how to get the videos onto Final Cut from the camera but am having trouble viewing the videos after the camera is ejected. When I try to play them, the audio plays perfectly but the video becomes very choppy and jumps around a bit before often stopping completely while the audio keeps on trucking. I just want to be able to watch my videos and I am beyond frustrated!!! Please help

    I am having the same problem with my Sony HDR-SR11.
    Still have not found a solution.
    My settings:
    Under Easy Setup I have selected AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 with a rate of 29.97 fps. Under System Settings>Playback Control I set RT=Safe, Video Quality=High, and Frame Rate = Full. My scratch disk is a 7200 rpm 500 GB SATA. I have a Mac Pro 2x2.66 Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 2GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video card with 256 MB VRAM
    Another forum topic recommended opening the Log and Transfer program and clicking on the gearbox icon at the top center and selecting Preferences... Press the Clear Logging Autofill Cache and set the AC-3 Audio to Plain Stereo. This didn't work for me but it seemed to help many others. Solves problem where you get a stop sign with an exclamation point on it when you try to import.

    Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
    I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
    I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
    Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
    is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
    is there anything else I can try ?
    should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
    If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

    AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number)
    -- Get total if single allocation
    OR pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number;
    RETURN return_amount;
    END;
    If I comment out either half of the OR statement (either the subquery or the pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number half) the function returns a value in .02 seconds. If I leave the OR in, it takes 2.764 seconds to execute?? Can someone please show me a better way (faster) to do this? I tried using nvl() around the subquery but couldn't get it to compile.
    Thanks

    These things are difficult to diagnose remotely, but here is something you can try....
    SELECT */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
    INTO return_amount
    FROM   primary_pledge pp
    WHERE  pp.prim_pledge_number IN (SELECT pc.pledge_number
                                     FROM pledge_codes pc
                                     WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
                                     AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
                                     AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number
    UNION ALL
    SELECT i_pledge_number FROM dual)
       RETURN return_amount;
    END;If that doesn't do anything (and it might well not) there are a large number of different ways we can recast this query. To save us further guessing please give us more details: execution plans, database version number, volumetrics.

  • A trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement

    Hi!
    I'm having trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement...
    With Access I can make the following and everything works well:
    SELECT name, birthday
    FROM client
    WHERE birthday LIKE '*/02/*';
    but if try to do it in my application (it uses Access), it doesn't work - I just can't understand that!!!
    In my application the "month" is always the currently month taken from the "System". Look what I'm doing...
    String query1 = "SELECT name, birthday " +
              "FROM client " +
              "WHERE birthday " +
              "LIKE '*/" +
              pMonth +
              "/*' " +
              "ORDER BY birthday ASC ";
    ResultSet rs = statement1.executeQuery(consulta1);
    boolean moreRecords = rs.next();
    The variable "moreRecords" is always "false", the query returns nothing although the table "client" has records that attend the query.
    Please, anyone can help me?! It's a little bit urgent.
    Thanks,
    Katia.

    Hi Katia,
    I'll bet the problem lies with the characters you're using to escape the LIKE clause. You're using the ones that Access likes to see, but that's not necessarily what's built into the JDBC-ODBC driver class.
    You can find out what the correct escape wildcard characters are from the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getSearchStringEscape() method. It'll tell you what to use in the LIKE clause.
    I'm not 100% sure about your code. It doesn't use query1 anywhere. I'd do this:
    String query = "SELECT name, birthday FROM client WHERE birthday LIKE ? ORDER BY birthday ASC";
    PreparedStatement statement = connection.createStatement(query);
    String escape = connection.getMetaData().getSearchStringEscape();
    String test = escape + '/' + pMonth + '/' + escape;
    statement.setString(1, test);
    ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
    while (rs.hasNext())
    // load your data into a data structure to pass back.
    rs.close();
    statement.close();Let me know if that works. - MOD

  • (Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

    Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
    I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
    Let me know if you know why this is happening.

    With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
    Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
    While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
    I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
    You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
    Something you can try:
    System Preferences -> Network
    Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
    Select *Set Service Order...*
    Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
    NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

  • Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

    Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
    Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
    Thanks,
    John

    Or, how about this:
    Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?
