DARKENED CLIP VIEWER.... IS THERE AN ANSWER?
I've spent the past week trying to fix this incredibly annoying problem. The clip viewer in the Final Cut Pro X is DARKENED. I have tried on multiple occasions to recalibrate the screen, color sync, run repair disk, deleted Final Cut Express 4, reinstalled 10.6.8 package. There are two other discussions running on this topic and still no answer.
Apple support suggested deleting Final Cut Express and reinstalling 10.6.8. This is getting insane. When you scroll the mouse over a thumbnail, the image in the clip viewer and the thumbnail go dark. Move the mouse OFF the thumbnail and it goes back to its correct colour but now ANOTHER thumbnail has gone dark. This is quite difficult to explain. Please see the screen grabs below. I've run out of ideas here. This is getting ridiculous!
do you use multiple monitors?
i had the same problem when using fcp x with my second monitor connected.
the clips get back to normal when i disconnected the second monitor from my mbp.
its strange cause i had been using the 2 monitor setup before and there's been no problem.
and then i tried to re-connected my 2nd monitor and it get dark again.
after that i changed the second monitor's calibration / "display profile" to the original setting, and the problem is gone.
hope this can help.
oh, and i'm not recalibrate my screen, i just change the display profile to its previous one (before i calibrate it).
sorry for the bad english, i'm asian.

16 X 9 TIMELINE VS CLIP VIEWER ASPECT RATIO
I can't seem to find out why I am able to get a full screen image when I am viewing a clip using the clip viewer and not from the timeline for 16 x 9 formats. The timeline seems to scale the image down at least to 80%. Is there something I need to adjust in the Timeline settings? If I select anamorphic the image is stretched to the edges but not the top. My clip were recorded 16 x 9 and imported as such.
Would appreciate any help.Thanks for the quick response. I found out that something was messed up with the sequence. When starting fresh and selecting anamorphic without anything in the timeline it works just fine. Thanks anyway.

PHOTOS FROM IPHOTO WILL NOT IMPORT INTO CLIP VIEWER WHERE MOVIE IS CREATED
ok...please answer this question...i NEED it to be answered!!!!! When I try to put the Ken burns effect on a photo and then import it into the clip viewer, it will NOT let me!!!! Please H~E~L~P ME!!!!!!!!!
HELP ME!!!!!Welcome to discussions!
You have not told us enough information to H~E~L~P you.
We need to know everything about your Mac, hard drive space (look at mine below). Go to "My Settings" at the right of this screen and fill out that information please.
In the meantime, i'll throw a couple of ideas your way:
If you are you trying to edit a previously imported image rendered by the Ken Burns Effect, there's an iMovie bug that prevents us from updating the clip when we empty the iMovie trash.
iMovie HD 6 requires Quartz Extreme-compatible graphics cards

OK to remove used clips from the Clips Viewer?
At the bottom of the iMovie 9 screen, there's an area that I think is called the Clips Viewer--the area that shows the imported clips that you can add to your project. After I have done so and I am sure that I don't want to add them anymore to my project, is it okay to remove the clips from the Clips Viewer? I have a lot of clips that I want to use in my project that all have very similar thumbnails and having them all in the Clips Viewer at once will create hopeless confusion.
Don't delete any clips from the event viewer that are used in your project until you have completed the project and shared it. Then if you are sure you do not ever want to re-edit that project or share it again or use those clips in another project then you can delete them. If you delete them while your project is active the clips will go off line and your project is unusable.

Themes - Unable to drag or apply theme elements to clip viewer
Why does a theme dissapear immediately after dropping into the clip viewer?
After editing movie (14 chapter markers) and selecting "Reflection - Black" , theme, element "Open", 3 clips were placed in the "drop zone"and title was typed. The result was stunning, but hitting the "apply" button would place the rendered clip at the end of the movie for a few milliseconds and then disappear. Same thing with theme element "Chapter". Choosing the CHECKMARK or dragging the element directly to the clip viewer also failed to keep the clip there. The clip plays flawlessly in the preview screen; just can't add it to the movie. External firewire hard disk has over 137GB of freespace left. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) iMovie 6.0.3 (267.2)How is your external hard drive formatted? It needs to be formatted for Mac
( Mac OS Extended.) Try using Apple's Disk Utility to format the drive. However, when you reformat you will lose all files on the external drive in the process.

My mother has an iPad and so do I. I have successfully sent photos and videos to her. She took a photo with her iPad and sent it to me. I receive her mail with the word, "attachment" and with the paper clip symbol - but there is never an attachment! No photo! How is this possible if she is doing the exact steps that I do when mailing photos? Is something locked? Thanks for help.
Scroll down to the bottom of the email. Is there a message there to download the rest of the email?
Quit Mail and try again. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally. -
I'm using a Canon HV20 video camera that uses digital tape. After importing to my Events Library in Final Cut X, there are some timecode breaks between clips resulting also in gaps between the clips. Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks Russ. I'm a beginner but Lynda.com has a video on making an archive, so I'll follow her video to try this method.

If I view events there is the same thumbnail for all 270 events and if I open an event I have black thumbnails. I can only see the photo if I open it individually.The only way I can then see the thumbnail is by editing each photo. Then to even further complicate matters the last editted phot is replaces as the thumbnail on all events foders!...grrr. This is what I awoke to two mornings ago after inly backing up my machine which I do every night.
No. Quitefrankly I didn't know I could even use iPhoto on iPad, I just have the photos app that came on it. This is on my laptop. I don't particularly like iPhoto I use it essentially to take photos off my camera and store all the originals. I use Photoshop. To work on them and store them in Dropbox (don't get me started on iCloud!). As I said this is a problem that seemed to crop up overnight after backing up to my external HD.

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig? IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all. Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.
Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

Whenever I open PDF it informs me that Adobe Flash Player is not found. When I check the box to add it, I am taken to Firefox and given a choice to add it to Explorer or other systems. I have chosen both in the past and added it more than a few times. My system is XP service pack 3, already installed Flash Player 10.3.181.34 and Firefox 6.0.2. In checking your web site I see that others are having this problem too. I did not see how to solve it. Is there an answer?
Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again! -
Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham
Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue! -
Is there an answer to why notes go missing?
Is there an answer to why notes go missing on the iPhone?
Is it a software problem?
I now don't have any faith with using the notes app as important things I've taken note of disappear.
AndyIf you backed up when they were there, you can restore with a backup. You might also want to ask on a Yahoo forum if there's another way.
I would think it would be OK to use the Notes app. I don't sync it with anything and I've never had any trouble. You might also look at 3rd party apps... I've heard that Evernote is very good. -
