Corrupt ipr files coming back to FCP
I have made an effect in live type. and when i use live fonts in this case they play fine in livettype but when saved and imported to FCPas an ipr file Its all corrupt. This has happened previously after an apple pro apps update, and I had a workaround.
I am working through a Blackmagic multibridge pro Its a mac Pro 10.6.4 2x3 ghz quad core Quicktime is 7.4.5. After my last update even my workaround no longer works, which was to take the blackmagic codec component out of the QT folder, start livetype and then replace the component. This worked until I upgraded to snow leopard The only way I can get it to work is to export the movie, but i like to work the other way and import the .ipr file in case I need to tweek the timing of my effect.
Anyone help?

Could be a problem with AT/FCP versions as Zeb notes but I can import .ipr files on my machine without issue. Do it often; current project, even as we speak.
You may have set in and out points in LT that don't include any characters. But without knowing anything about the fonts and effects you're using, kinda hard to speculate from where I'm sitting except to say it's probably going to turn out to be something very simple.

Possible corrupt music file on back up disc - can't restore iTunes library!
Sold old laptop last week in prep for getting new PC, backed up iTunes library onto DVD disc (whole library went on 4.7GB disc with no problems) - got new PC yesterday, downloaded iTunes 9, inserted back up disc, tried to restore but keeps getting stuck on one song and going no further. Can anyone help with any other suggestions because I'm going nuts! Can't update my iPhone as there's nothing in iTunes to update it with!
Yes, the relative location is the same, the user account has the same short and long lame as before.
I did try to use the preferences to point to the backed up itunes folder. Once when it was on the eHD and once when I put it in the music folder. Unfortunatley no luck.
I will try your idea about using "Consolidate Library"
One other interesting thing I tried a few days ago was to follow the procedure outlined in the apple support section about restoring the library. It has you move the libray xml file to the desk top, trashing one of the other files (I forgot which) and then choosing the xml file placed on the desk top upon starting itunes. I thought it was kind of odd to select the very xml file I was having trouble with so I chose the backed up xml file. It put all of the playlist folders back in duplicate, but the library was still empty (probably becuase the xml file is just a reference file and I hadn't loaded any actual music files) If the consolidate doesn't work, mabye I'll try that again, but also put the folder with the actual files on the computer as well
I'll let you know how "Consolidate" works, thanks for your suggestions! -
Can Automatic stacking of files coming back in from PS be disabled?
When I send a DNG file to PSCS4 with the "edit in PS" command in LR (2.3) and then finish with the new file in PS and save it as a PSD, it gets automatically put back in LR just fine. BUT I notice that it is always stacked with the original DNG file (in the open stack configuration). I would like it to be NOT stacked at all and just organized according to file name.
Can this automatic stacking be turned off? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Thanks in advance.
ScottWhen I open up a DNG file in LR 2.3 it opens directly in PS WITHOUT going through Camera raw and has all of the adjustments I have made to it in LR, thus it would seem to me that LR is the Raw Converter that is doing the work. I never see the Camera Raw dialog box/controls, but I always see all the adjustments that I have made in LR before sending the file off to PS.
This experience seems to contradict what you have said.
Can you help me understand this further?
I appreciate that it isn't obvious, but when you choose Edit in Photoshop CS4 (Ctrl/Cmd+E) in Lr2.x the DNG file is sent directly to Photoshop and processed by Camera Raw in the background. The converted file is not saved at that point but instead exists solely in RAM until saved in Photoshop. However, when you configure Lr2.3 to use Photoshop CS4 as an additional external editor the DNG file will be processed by Lr and the converted TIFF/PSD is saved before being sent to Photoshop. -
Why does a .tif file come back to Lightroom2 from CS4 as a new file?
In my workflow I start with a virtual copy of a .dng file in Lightroom2, make adjustments there and then take the file to CS4 for further refinements before bringing the image back to Lightroom2 to print. When the images comes back to Lightroom2 it comes back as .tif file but doesn't replace the .dng files. I now have three files. The original, the virtual copy, and the .tif file. In Lightroom2 the sliders for the .tif file are all back to zero. The adjustments can be seen in the image, but there are no indications by the sliders that any adjustments were made. In preferences I have it set that a file coming back to Lightroom2 from CS4 comes back as a .tif file but why don't the sliders show the adjustment I made to the original image in the .tif file as well. Feels like I am starting over with a new file.

You are starting over with a new file. LR applies all the
adjustments to the DNG or VC before converting it to a (flattened) TIFF.
That's why you can see the adjustments in the new image. -
Vista system crashed due to a corrupted system file. The C drive was reformatted, and windows reloaded, along with the rest of my programs.
Before the drive was reformatted, an image was made of it on a USB drive to save all the data. Now I need to know how to get the Bookmarks back for Firefox, and the Address Book back for Thunderbird.
ThanksThanks for the quick response. It worked very well, for both Firefox and Tbird.
One hitch, until I remembered: those are all hidden files, in hidden folders. I had a devil of a time finding the "roaming" folder, until I found out how to unhide everything. In years past, I used DOS for that kind of thing. Explorer is much less user-friendly. Now that I know how to do it, it's simple.
Thanks again for the guidance -
LiveType .ipr won't import into FCP - File type not recognized
LiveType file is greyed out when trying to import into FCP as a Standard File type. If we change Standard File to All Files we get an error stating, "File Error: 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
The project and media are on an external FWHD, originally edited on a G5, moved to the G4 FWHD with Media Manager.
We've trashed FCP preference files, repaired permissions, checked ownership of files on the FWHD, created new LT files on the internal drive to no avail.

This is usually two things: In compatible versions of FCP or a missing element that allows the .ipr files to be imported. I have forgotten what the enabler is but it's obviously working on your G5 or you wouldn't be asking the question. If you create a LT file on your G4, can you import it into FCP on the G$?
(You can search the forum for similar problems, it comes up about twice a month.)
That leaves the problem of incompatible copies of FCP. You have not provided that information. FCP is not backwards compatible.

Corrupted files getting backed up
Hello,
I just had a very painful experience and would appreciate some advice on how to prevent future problems.
I backed up all docs, apps and system files with Time machine. Unfortunately, the file system was slowly getting corrupted, so TM was backing up corrupted system files. When I eventually installed a new disk and tried reinstalling the OS, it wouldn't work because the restore tried to copy the corrupted system files.
Any ideas on how to either keep TM from backing up these files, having some program report the corruption or do a scheduled system check to prevent/repair the corruption?
Thank you.The problem is that, as Kappy says, the backup software cannot know the files have been corrupted. Hard drive damage - a frequent cause of corruption - can be repaired, but only an application that can read a particular file might know if it has been corrupted, and even then it might not be apparent until you notice errors in the data that the file should contain.
The only way to protect against corruption is to:
1) Keep incremental backups, like Time Machine does
2) Keep a minimum of two _completely separate_ backups
3) Use two different backup programs (I like Time Machine + [Carbon Copy Cloner|http://www.bombich.com>)
4) Archive important files periodically to CDs, DVDs or additional hard drives and store them away somewhere cool, dry and dark and don't touch them again. Note that, even stored properly, they dyes in home-burned CDs and DVDs will eventually degrade and destroy the data they contain, so don't rely on these for seriously long-term storage. -
FCP Freezes after sitting idle then coming back to it
About a month ago, I reformatted my hard drive on my macbook pro and did a clean install of my FCP software (v6). I also got a new external hard drive (Seagate Freeagent Desk for Mac 2 TB, FW800) where I keep all my footage I'm working with. Since then, I've started experiencing a problem I've never had before... often I'll have FCP open, then open up a browser window to write emails or whatever. But then when I try to go back to FCP, it freezes and I get the spinning beachball. From that point, I have to force restart the computer to re-open FCP, because FCP won't fully quit once that's happened. If I just force quit, it goes away from the screen, but the dot on the dock is still there, and it won't reopen.
This definitely only started happening after I reformatted my HD, but I also got the the new hard drive at the same time... I thought at first it was the Hard Drive not waking up, but I returned the HD for a new one, and it's still doing it. So based on that, it seems like it must be an issue with the macbook. Weird thing is though... it doesn't seem to happen when older hard drives are plugged in, ones that I had before I reformatted my hard drive.
No idea what to do at this point...I agree, sounds like disc sleeping problems with that drive, found this in a quick search

help! my imovie project library is full of temporary folders.. some are the ones i deleted.. i tried deleting the folders one by one but when i try to open the imovie, the folders keep coming back to my project library..
If it was working on 10/1, why not open up the most recent backup library with a timestamp of that day. Unless you specified otherwise, your backup folder is in Movies in your home folder. You can double-click one to open it in FCP.
The update command actually wants a mounted drive selected.
I suggest not going into the library bundles and moving or modifying folders/files except as a last resort. It sounds like both libraries are corrupted.

Disk Utility: Java VM Permission errors keep coming back
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my permissions. When I run Disk Utility I always get the same errors, I repair them and DU says they are repaired. Yet, if I run Disk Utility again (even right after a repair), there they are again.
It's a never-ending story: I repair them, DU says they are repaired, but they keep coming back at every scan (even when I run multiple scan/repair cycles in a row).
Permissions differ on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Classes/jconsole.jar ", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrwxr-xr-x .

Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I checked them against the safe-to-ignore list on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 , but except for the last message (the SUID ARDAgent file) the other alerts regarding the JavaVM Framework seem not to be safe to ignore at all.
Does anybody know how to repair these permissions permanently (not just for three seconds)?
Thank you,
DanieleAha. Well, too much caution is better than none. I might suggest you skip the defragging unless you use very large files - 20 MBs and larger - with frequent changes. Unlike Windows OS X defrags files under 20 MBs on the fly to minimize fragmentation. Maintaining an adequate amount of free space on your hard drive will virtually eliminate fragmentation. We suggest 15 GBs or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater, should be maintained as free space. Fragmentation can become an issue as the amount of free space declines. The risks become greatest when free space drops to 5 GB or less.
We recommend repairing permissions and the hard drive prior to installing any new system updates. Repairing permissions after the installation is also a good idea since it's possible that fixes to Disk Utility may remove extraneous but innocuous "errors" being reported each time you repair permissions.
Some other occasional maintenance can't hurt. See the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
ynchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Can corrupt render files cause artifacts like small square white blocking?
Yep, seeing it on footage that has been rendered on the edit suites I was working in at uni. Capture Scratch footage(raw captured footage)seems fine. Artifacts appear on canvas and external monitor. Monitoring via firerwire 400 port through mini dv deck on ext monitor. Working from an external firewire drive on a lacie pci firewire 800 port. Uni runs fcp 4.5 with OSX 10.4.2.
Brought drive home to work on my system with fcp 5 artifacts still appearred until I reconnected them to the captured files and did a re-render. The artifacts have dissappeared, i think. I have saved a copy of the original to work with fcp 5 so i still have the original to work with at uni on fcp 4.5. I need to be able to work at uni as well as home.
Do you think this problem stems from corrupt render files? To begin with I thought it might have been a tape problem but tapes play back clean, the clean captured raw footage seems to back this up.

Color changes my IN/OUTS and sends a BLANK sequence back to fcp
hi everyone, Please help if you know, I am very frustrated
i finished editing a music video HDV 1080i - 5 minutes long... a lot of the clips have variable speeds.
i sent the sequence to color and a lot of the clips are different than the ones in final cut. (what is weird is that the thumbnail on the color timeline has the right icon) but the video that plays is different, and when i go to render it, it shows its length as 1hr or so even if the edited clip is a few seconds long. so i can't even render it to check it out.
with all that, when i render and send back to FCP i'm getting a blank sequence (that is IF i get it to show).
NOte: i tried deleting the corrupted files before sending back and nothing good :s
Please let me know if there is something in the settings that i need to change, my project is due in a couple of days and i'm dying here! i hope FCS doesn't let me down this time.Couple of reasons, maybe.
The "COLOR changes my ins and outs" is usually related to a Variable Time Remap, or some kind of fps incompatibility. Sometimes its the result of nested sequencing, which is in a way related to Multicllip -- all of which are deal-breakers as far as a round-trip is concerned. Final Touch used to re-create the entire source clip, but only insert the selected frames where it thought they should be, which was usually wrong, but there'd be a half an hour of black to wade through. Now it renders the entire source clip, and "you figure it out", is what it tells Final Cut, and sometimes it actually works, but only with constant speed remaps, so there is some math involved instead of pure guesswork.
But trouble shooting:
First, check to see if the media is properly rendered somewhere, anywhere, by using the FInder and Quicktime Player, that is, take Final Cut out of the mix as a possible error element. Try doing a Reveal in Finder on one of the Black clips that you have... "follow the money".
If you can find it, if it exists, if it looks okay, then its time to sort out what Final Cut wants or where it expects to find the media. Maybe in a wrong directory? But if there is no media, anywhere, that is another issue, but I'm betting that it does exist.
There is a correct sequence of events in loading the RenderQueue, in that your target folder must be selected or created beforehand, otherwise everything will go to the pre-existing default directory. Then the XML created by the Send To Final Cut request will specify the folder that you subsequently created -- which, of course will be blank. This is a big, big problem that might be solved by moving the whole works into the created folder where you thought everything was going. maybe.
You MUST do an explicit "SAVE", not an autosave, after Render, to prompt COLOR to remember that it has done the render. If you don't, there is a good chance you will be doing it all over again.
