Color to FCP error

I sent a sequence to Color from FCP as usual and when I was done I saved it and clicked Send to Final Cut Pro. The sequence came back to FCP as usual but when I opened the colored sequence - ie. 'Sequence' (from Color) - there was no sequence there. It was as if I had sent a blank sequence from Color.
Does anyone know what is happening here? I've never had that happen before.
Thanks!

For anyone who is having this issue, definitely try the following steps in order. I used these steps to fix a General Error problem and it fixed the round-tripping error at the same time.
Thanks to OmegaProductions for posting this solution...
Check permissions on the render folder. The general error is usually a permissions issue.
However it would be good for you to trash the prefs again also.
Log in as the user where you are having issues.
Trash all prefs not just .plist
Heres what to trash;
Location /Users/username/Libray/Preferences/
com.apple.finalcutpro.plist
Then trash;
Location /Users/username/Libray/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/
Final Cut Pro 7.0 Prefs (or whichever version you are running)
Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
Then empty trash.
I would then repair permissions on the machine (this usually helps from time to time.)
Log in as your admin go to Disk Utility highlight the disk name and repair permissions.
Restart and Give it a whirl.

When sending to Color from FCP, my video is mostly black, with some green highlights.

I have a sequence of ProRes 422 (LT) and I'm trying to send to Color from FCP, however, when the project opens, the video shows up as mostly black, with most highlights green, blue and red -- but 90% of the frame is completely black. The weirdest part is, in the Color timeline, I can see the thumbnail for the video and it looks just fine.
Currently, I have a 2010 Mac Mini with 4gb of RAM and it's hooked up to my monitor through the HDMI port. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I just got the 2010 Mac Mini -- but my previous Mini was the early 2009 model with only 2gb of RAM and Color ran just fine. Any help/suggestions?

Mac Avid to Color and FCP

A freind of mine--yes, honestly, there is a friend--has built a project in a Mac Based Avid Program. He no needs to take it to another person who will color correct it using Color in FCP. I am Mac only literate and don't have an answer.
Can anybody give me some insight on how it needs to be transfered?

You will have to recapture. Best to use Automatic Duck to help. Export an AAF from Avid, use the Duck to import that into FCP...it retains a lot of information from the Avid, pretty amazing.
www.automatic.duck.com
Now, while the Duck can export ref QTs to allow FCP to see the media...you need to have the Avid codecs installed for this to work...but then you cannot send this to COLOR, as COLOR doesn't work with Avid media. I have tried then using the Media Manager to convert to ProRes, but that didn't work out well. The Avid original MXF files might be the issue, but it just didn't work. You will have to recapture the media.
But it is pretty easy.

Converting color for fcp

I am using an image from the clients web site, that when I import to fcp, the color is completely different. I have forgotten how to change the colors for fcp.
Any help is appreciated!
thanks

No. FCP is a video editor. It does not do graphic colorspace format conversions - other than taking what ever material you drop into a time line and convert it to either Rec 709 for HD or Rec 601 for Standard Def.

Why does my canvas display white after importing sequence from Color into FCP 7

Hi, I have a problem involving the relationship between Color and Fcp 7. When I imported my Color grade back into fcp 7 it permanently changed my fcp working file, even the other ungraded sequences. Now when the cursor is static over a clip all that is diplayed on the canvas is white, but when the film plays it plays normally. This is obviously a problem because it is useful to see individual frames when editing.
Furthermore, when I exported the graded sequence from Fcp 7 as a .mov, certain parts were now blocks of white, the first time it seemed to be the parts where there were green unrendered bars above the clips in the fcp file, but then the second time I rendered it all prior to exporting and there were still two areas where it was white in the export, namely the title credit which I had made against a colour solid Matte, and also a greenscreen clip that I had imported from After effects.
The problem now is that it has permanently changed fcp so that all of the working files for my different projects now display as white when the cursor is static.
Does any one have any ideas?
Thanks alot,
Bill

Ah actually just solved the problem, turns out it has nothing to do with Color after all, just on the Canvas drop down menu to the right it was set to Alpha rather than RGB - very simple really!

Sending files back from color to fcp 7, but experiencing issues

I have four sequences in a FCP 7 project. I sent three of them to color from FCP 7, completed my grading, rendered and sent back to FCP 7. I did the same for the fourth sequence; however, when I opened this sequence in FCP 7 it had over written one of the other timelines media into the same clip lengths as the one I just sent back. So it had media from another project, but with the same clip lengths as the I had just sent back from color. I have never experienced this before. I am working for an advertising agency and I am basically getting raw footage ready so that it can be send to an animation house who is going to be adding their animations, transitions and exporting the project. This project is on a tight deadline and need to figure this issue out quickly. Is this indiciative of corrupt files somewhere? If any one has had this issue please share how you rectified it.
Thanks.

Color renders out the files and gives them new names... g_1, g_2...and so on. If some of them are exactly the same length as another one that's labelled g_1...FCP could connect it to the wrong one and whammo, your issue.
The REEL numbers should transfer. But if your footage doesn't have reel numbers, then it will link by name and length often. Yeah...messed up.

Why does my clip look different in Color vs FCP via External mmonitor

Can anyone explain why my clip look slightly different in color as opposed to FCP. This clip is exported from FCP sequence with NO filters whatsoever. I'm basically viewing the same clip and switching between color and FCP. The clip seems to have a tad more highlight when viewing in color
I'm using a MacPro/Kona3/Sony Multiformat CRT. Thanks

seems to have a tad more highlight when viewing in color
Do you see a difference in the scopes? "seems to" is not as good a description as we really need to sort out whether this is a gamma issue or a possible 601/709 conflict, even with your Multiformat Sony. There appear to be a lot of RGB, Y'CbCr conversions in your image pipeline.
I am aware that some codecs are handled slightly differently by Final Cut and COLOR. They do not use the same media decoding engine. COLOR's is much more basic (fundamental) and generally speaking is more accurate for that reason. Similar to SHAKE in that respect.

DVA Color Themes V2 Error

This is the third time this week that I've had to re-instal After Effects and about to be the fourth.
I get this "DVA Color Themes V2" error and then After Effects won't open. Not only does this keep happening, but it's happening with 2 different CC acounts on 2 different Mac Pros.
Once I uninstall (clean) After Effects, then Creative Cloud desktop says it will no longer work on this system. It says "click here" to install the newest version. It takes me to a webpage that says, "click here" to install CC Desktop.
When I click on that, it tries to open the existing CC desktop again. So I run the CC Cleaner and uninstall CC desktop.
Once that's all done, I click on the website again to install CC desktop. The browser says "Can't connect to" aas://jhfdsahifdhsuailfhduisla .... (Paraphrasing)
I restart the system. Install CC Desktop, Install After Effects. After I waste an hour on all that it works for about a day. Then it happens again. It can't be just me since it's on multiple systems, but nobody is having this issue upon a Google search. Please help! I'm so tired of this intall/reinstall/uninstall process.

Idem pour moi , heureusement que j'ai After Effects CC . Que ce passe-t-il ?
Une mise à jour à attendre ?
Je suis sur OX 10.7.5 , merci si vous avez des solutions car au prix des logiciels et en sachant que c'est qu'une location cela mérite que l'on se penche sérieusement à ce problème qui me parait comme même étendu ...
Aujourd'hui , je viens de faire la mise à jour d'After Effects , j'avais l'espoir que le problème serait résolu .
Hélas , à ce jour , toujours le même problème .
Et je remarque qu'il n'y à pas de réponse à ce problème .
Que ce passe t-il ?
Pourtant comme je disais , j'ai toute les versions After Effects et elles marchent ...
Et tout sur le même ordi Mac Pro

One camera of three not syncing into color from FCP

Running lastest version of everything on imac 2 ghz intel core 2 duo 2 gb memory. Useing multi-sync to edit three camera shoot shot on vx 200 with p2 cards. Edit is great. One camera goes out of sync by a lot when importing to color.
tried export each clip from this camera and reimporting qt back into sequence. This worked expect, the clip got squished going into color.. didn't stay at HD settings, probably a pixel issue. Tried reexport using pro-res 422 HD 960x720 24p which was our camera setting.
This works but sometimes but not all the time. I get a render error "can't find capture card".
The camera that goes out of sync is in two parts, thus the multi-clips had to be
resynced... this shouldn't be an issue with xml as it's reading the time code unless the timecode is the same on both clips...hmmm...

From the Release Notes:
"Known Issues Affect Sequences Containing Multiclips That Are Sent to Color
Sequences that contain multiclips have known issues that affect Final Cut Pro to Color round trips."
Color does not like multiclips. Too bad the forum search function is disabled as solutions have been offered up, I just can't remember them currently as I rarely touch the FCP multiclip function.

HP Deskjet 1510 Tri-color Ink Cartridge Error

I just bought a HP Deskjet 1510 back in August and I loaded the HP original ink cartridges that come with the purchase. For the first 5 print jobs it was working well, but somehow after a while my laptop and the printer itself just kept warning that there's low ink level in the cartridges (especially the tri-color one). I haven't even got to use the tri-color cartridge much as I've been printing in grayscale ever since I've used this printer.
I've tried taking the cartridge out and putting it back in again; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I thought it might be a contact issue so I cleaned those parts too but it didn't change anything.
It's getting extremely frustrating as I'll have to do this for god knows how many times for every single page I print or copy. This happens to the black cartridge too but 90% of the time it's the tri-color cartridge.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hello @ut32w , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I hope you had a great holiday!
I understand from reading your post that you are running into cartridge errors. I'd like to help!
I would first suggest removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend running through the steps listed in the document below:
An 'Incompatible Ink Cartridge or 'Ink Cartridges Missing' Error Message Displays for HP Deskjet 151...
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Why does FCP error "File Not Found" when I try to open my sequences????

I recently updated all of my software and the following day I started getting errors "file not found" when I would try to open a sequence. Now all of my sequences are being lost and I am losing time and money because I can't meet deadlines! This *****!!! With one sequence I had to reedit the entire thing from scratch and when I did for some reason the old one would then open. But the next time I opened FCP both sequences would error out. Following the "file not found" the computer responds with another error "error: out of memory" What the devil is going on with this crap?

I seem to have figured out what my problem was. After trying to build the same project (that failed on the Mac Pro) on my laptop and encountering the same errors, I realized that the problem had to be with one or more of my assets and not my new version of FCP, since my PowerBook is running FCP 5.0.4 and my Mac Pro is running FCP 5.1.2.
In my case the "corrupt" file was a Photoshop PSD file. In the past (FCP 4.5) I was able to use PSD files with hidden layers. I would merge the visible layers into one layer, keep the hidden layers and save the file. Once in FCP, I imported the PSD file and kept right on truckin'. I've done this for years. For some reason now with FCP 5.1.2 (and 5.0.4), that's not flying anymore. Once I "Flattened" the PSD file in Photoshop (deleting all of the hidden layers) I was able to build the project without any errors.
Interestingly, the technique I used to figure out which file was "corrupt" also allowed me to salvage parts of some of my "lost" sequences. I saw this posted in a forum at Creative Cow (creativecow.net). Basically, I opened up the project, clicked the OK button after the File Not Found error, went into the Browser, right clicked on the offending sequence, selected "Make Offline". When I double clicked the sequence it opened in the timeline with all of my assets offline. Then in the timeline, one by one, I right clicked on each clip and selected "Reconnect Media". Once I linked up the media, if I didn't get an error message, I would save as a new project (to salvage what WAS working), and go to the next clip. I did this until I found the offending PSD files.
I hope this helps. Now it's time to play "catch-up"

Sony HDR-HC3 to FCP to Color to FCP to Mac Mini

Hi,
My objective is to play our edited family videos using our Mac Mini(2.0 GHz Core 2) on a Sony 52" LCD at full 1080 resolution. The video is stored on a Firewire attached 1 TB LaCie external disk.
I use a Sony HDR-HC3 video camera (HDV 1440x1080i 25 fps) and use FCP 6.0.4 for editing. I have recently been learning Color for grading.
1. Currently reading footage into FCP as ProRes 422. Footage comes in with the following profile:
Sequence Preset: Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 50i 58 kHz
Capture Preset: HDV-Apple ProRes 422
Current captured footage I'm working with has a data rate of 12.5 MB
2. Once editing is complete, I "Send To" Color and perform the grading
3. From Color, I "Send to FCP". (It asks "Change graded FCP seq. to match the QT export codec?" not sure whether I click Yes or No here)
4. After selecting Yes, the footage returned back to a new sequence in FCP now has the following profile:
Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
1920x1080
21.6 MB/sec
From reading the Apple documentation, I was expecting something funny to happen coming back from Color.
5. I then send this sequence to Compressor where I select the "Apple | Formats | Quicktime | H.264" preset in the hope that I can render out an H.264 1920x1080 file to play on the Mac Mini. It renders it but the Mini can't play the video smoothly.
As I am still learning, I would appreciate any suggestions on an alternative workflow that can lead me to a 1080 video file that can play smoothly on the Mac Mini.
The Apple TV preset renders a video that works smoothly on the Mini, but I'm hoping for the full resolution.
Regards, Tony

Hi Shane,
Thanks so much for responding. Great tutorial also. And I wasn't conscious of any 'drone'...
Yes, I've tried to have the Log and Transfer recognize the card (through both the card reader and lately, by using the camera as a deck but without luck).The card reader and camera mount on my desktop as NO NAME and when I ADD VOLUME I scroll down to devices and click on NO NAME but L&T doesn't recogize the source and nothing happens. That's why I went in to see if the AVCHD folder might be recognized and got that invalid directory message. Following your tutorial I went into preferences button on the right hand upper corner of the L&T interface and selected the AVCHD - Apple Prores LT path in case that made a difference, but no go. Any other suggestions/thoughts?
Cheers, Mark

If the printer has been stored for six years without use, it is perhaps likely that something has seized, or is stuck, leading to the error message.

Colors in FCP looks different than when playing in QT7

The colors of the video's in FCP looks different than when playing back in QuickTime. I wonder if it can be a color management setting in FCP? I have the same problem when playing a clip in AE. I have two FCP machines, but only one of them is having this problem. Any ideas of what I can do to get the right colors back?

Have you enabled Final Cut Studio Color Compatibility in the QT Player preferences?
