Effect button crashes fcp x

hey , just installed fcp x 10.1.2 , when i click the effect button fcp x crashes and for next launches stuck at "restoring layout", i tried to reinstall but with no success , does anyone can help ? thx

Proxies are ProRes too ;-)
I agree though.. Absolute no reason to convert to Opt. Media. Which is just one more degredation of image quality. Convert org to proxies and when exporting out... Use the originals.
First to try hit "Revert to original Layout" from the windows menu..... (DOnt think it will help but worth a shot)
I notice you state that you more than one monitor.... Final Cut Pro X --- suffers from severe erratic behavior when more than on is connected...
On my machine (Two monitors) -- 90% of the time FCPx keeps displaying the clip currently selected in the event library although I am in the timeline.... Also, when I click and select an effect in the inspector and hit delete (To delete the effect) FCPx will delete the clip on the which the effect is inserted. All those problems are not there on a single monitor setup... My partner has severe issues as well. If his main OS X Menu bar is on, say the right monitor (Two identical monitors) and he choose to show viewers on 2nd display. The content turns purple or green. If he moves the OS X Menu bar to the other display... no problem.. Etc etc etc... using multiple monitors with FCPx is quite an exciting exerience full of surprises all day ;-)))
In your case...
Try using ONE display only.. JUST to check if it still happens. And I mean.. Physically UNPLUG the 2nd display and reboot the Mac...
If THAT helps... Plug in the other monitor and and reboot Mac (You dont have to reboot, but I recommend that). Now goto system preferences and click displays... IN "Arrangement" drag the white OS X Menu bar to the other display... Other as in .... where it was NOT when the problem was occuring...
Now boot FCPx... and hit "Revert to original Layout" from the windows menu.....

XML Crashing FCP while importing. Magic Bullet Looks could be the problem

Hi All,
Need a little help here.
I am using FCP 6.0.5 on a power mac G-5.
I am trying to open an XML which was exported out of FCP 7 as a version 4 XML.
Magic Bullet Looks is being used on the project, and I think this is were the problem is.
when importing the XML it crashes FCP when I select the Include Video/Audio Effects.
When I import the XML without this option selected it opens fine.
I have MB Looks Installed on machine, so the Plugins are there.
Just wanted to see if anyone has dealt with this issue or might have any insight to the problem.
I can post the Crash info on the specific thread if that can help.
Thanks!

Couldn't agree more Jim - hence why I'm not using Snow Leopard yet as I had a nightmare in the early adoption of an older operating system. As for MBL, there seem to be many using it without problems so I don't think it's an issue with the product per say and it really is a very good plug-in. (That view will change to excellent once the problems go away) I just need to get to the bottom of which square peg is destined for which round hole and I'm hopeful that all will be well. I've also submitted a support question to Magic Bullet so will update if I get a solution. I like the CleanApp idea. I'll try that as well. (and I may even give Snow Leopard a go!)

Dragging a large still image from the browser into the viewer crashes FCP

Okay, I've not seen this problem until just a couple days ago but was wondering if it was just me or if everyone has this problem? I've found a work-around, but let me explain the problem first.
I'm creating a growing up photo montage. I scanned all of the pictures myself at 300 dpi (as I've always done in the past) and saved them as TIF files. Some pictures as relatively small, i.e. 3.5 mb is size and do just fine, but it appears anytime I drop a picture into the viewer in preparation for the the timeline, it will crash FCP if the image file is any larger than about 5 or 5.5 MB. Now I know there is a limit on the resolution of a still and it shouldn't be any larger than 4000 pixels in either direction, but that is not my problem, the problem appears to occur with large files. I've used large still files before in past projects without any problem, so this is why I'm stumped. I've went as far as trashing my preferences, but that didn't change anything. I've even tested a still image from a past project that was something around 9 MB (or was it 19 mb?) in any case, it also crashed FCP but... I've used that picture before in past projects without any problem. I even created a new test project just in case my project file itself had a problem.
My work-around is to simply drop the still image from the browser directly into the timeline, thus bypassing the viewer. This works every time without a hitch. I can even double-click on the still now setting in the timeline to load it into the viewer so I can add effects or keyframes or whatever without any problems (thank goodness). So, has anyone else experienced this problem or is it just me?

Is this image saved in a colorspace mode that is anything other than RGB?
CMYK & Grayscale images will cause problems.
Some light reading regarding your choice of 300 dpi: http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html
Unless you plan on panning and zooming your images, the best procedure is to use one of the video preset templates in Photoshop and paste your content into it. Scale and position using the Transform controls. For best results save as a TIFF without compression. Don't forget, always in RGB colorspace.

Substandard renders and .motn projects that crash FCP.

On rendering out video from Motion (first version) I am warned that almost every object on my timeline is 'too large to render and will be cropped'. I'm working on anamorphic D1 projects and some of the objects it is telling me are too large are things like 720x576 video clips and even 16 pixel high caveats with no effects. I can get a render using the 'export' command in Motion but for some reason these are exceptionally jagged and have no sub-pixel supersampling (I've got anti-aliasing turned on but this doesn't help a great deal and the jagged edge are far too obvious to use for broadcast purposes). I'm rendering Uncompressed 4:2:2 and both project and render settings are upper-field first.
I have tried simply importing the .motn projects into FCP which for some reason manages to render objects much smoother than Motion's native renderer - but unfortunately all of the projects contain particle effects which seem to crash FCP every time it comes across them. Going back to Motion to render these sections is no good as it seems to render particle effects with random jumps and missing frames in them.
Any tips for getting decent quality smooth anti-aliased renders from Motion into Final Cut Pro as I'm not having any luck so far and I've got nine television commercials due for delivery Monday morning - yikes!
Any suggestions most welcome!
Cheers,
Tom

Though I realize Motion 2 isn't available as a separate item anymore, it is absolutely worth getting as far as speed and performance.
I remember thinking that on the same hardware it felt like it was 2x as fast.
Definitely check out the linked Motion Smarts article - it's a great explanation or introduction to the specific problems you can have working with a GPU-based FX program like Motion. This stuff matters - if you can master optimizing your projects by design Motion will be a nice addition to your toolbox.

Capturing AVCHD Crashes FCP

I've been using the new Panasonic camera hmc 151 AVCHD. I've been using it fine at work without problem except I've found a problem with some footage settings and the Perian plugin.
I've taken some stuff home to work on but when I click on the 'add to queue' button in the L&T window, FCP just pooofs off the screen.
Does it everytime without fail.
I want to post the log file but it's massive, before I do, any ideas?
OSX 10.5.6
iMac 2.8 Ghz intel duo core
FCP 6.0.3
4 GB RAM
QT 7.6.2

hmmmm,
1920 by 1080 comes in fine but 1280 by 720 crashes FCP.
The clips play fine in the L&T window but won't transfer.

File Crashing FCP - Can import from different tape brand be at fault?

I always use Sony Premium mini DV tapes and import my video through my Sony DSR-11 miniDV deck into FCP.
I was recently handed a Fujifilm miniDV tape. The video imported fine. But once I dragged it to the timeline, rendering any transitions or filters caused big gray boxes to appear on the video. Sound also fell. I was able to make it work - but the exported file retained the boxes at different places each time I exported.
Now the file doesn't open at all and it crashes FCP. All other files on my system still open and export fine except for this one.
My question is 1. whether the change of tape brand can cause the import to go haywire.
and 2. Is there any way I can open this file? I trashed preferences and restarted with no luck.
Any suggestions ar emuch appreciated. Thanks!

I've never had the same experience, so this is purely speculation.
Changing brands used in the same camcorder has been reported as the cause of recording & playback problems. But, since the playback from the DSR was okay, I'm guessing the brand isn't the problem.
Could be the camcorder settings don't match your FCP settings?
What if you copied the Fuji tape to Sony tape in your camcorder. That way you would have control of both the tape and the camcorder settings.

Thumbnail view crashing FCP -- Kona3 the problem?

For larger projects, running bins in thumbnail view crashes FCP.
Most of the time, I'm editing 6 to 8 min. stories for a news magazine format show. We shoot on Sony XDCAM, so usually 2 or 3 disks per project (roughly 44 mins of HD viddy per disk, with anywhere from 20 to 120 individual clips on the disk).
However, for our documentaries (either 26 mins or 56mins) we shoot between 30 to 45 disks full of content. When importing the disks into FCP7, we use a bin per disc, translating into an average of 80 clips per bin. Whenever a project is this big, I can only open 3 or so bins in thumbnail view. After that, the system crashes. Even if I only keep one bin open at a time, by that fourth bin, the system crashes.
We are using a KONA3 card configuration.
Anyone else seen this?

PROBLEM IDENTIFIED (NOT SOLVED):
I've had this problem with thumbnail images crashing FCP after opening bins for over a year now and when going back using footage from old projects it happens more frequently. I can open 2-4 bins before it will crash FCP completely.
TROUBLESHOOTING IN THE PAST:
- Dumped Prefs
- Re-installed FCP
- Formatted & Re-installed EVERYTHING (OSX included)
- Increased thumbnail cache size
- Created new projects & bins, etc.
CONCLUSION:
None of the above troubleshooting strategies worked. Increasing the thumbnail cache size may appear to work a little but problem persists with little improvement.
HOW I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM:
Only recently have I been working with other formats aside from XDCAM. I've recently incorporated more ProRes files into my most recent project of T2i footage from the Canon DSLR camera. If I open a bin and display thumbnails of the ProRes video clips everything works without a problem. Loading thumbnail bins with the raw .mp4 files also works fine. Only loading XDCAM files will cause FCP to crash. The problem has nothing to do with the Kona card. If you read the posts carefully here and elsewhere you will see the common denominator is the XDCAM encoded video files being displayed as thumbnail icons.
I am using XDCAM EX files at 1080p 30fps. To further isolate this problem as something having to do with the XDCAM files, another user posted on another thread:
*"I am having similar issues with two separate projects. The only commonality between them is XDCam.*
*To possibly isolate it I reinstalled FCP on one system, and installed latest Blackmagic driver on the the same. Both systems are up to date visa vi OS, FCP, and QT.*
*Both still crash with the same regularity as described here."*
Apple, this problem has persisted for more than two years and is a major problem. Just search the forums including this one. Any further upgrades of Final Cut Studio or OS X are worthless until this problem is fixed. A brand new body and interior won't fix a car with a broken engine. Please help!! Please solve this issue with the XDCAM footage in FCP!
If anyone has any solutions or work arounds please notify me. I need it!

After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Looks" URGENT!

My name is Tyler and i'm a Mult-Media Editor in training. Just recently meaning just this project i've been getting this error "After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in “Looks”." every time i try to render. If i try to remove the clip where it messes up and replace it with another it will just mess up in another spot.

2. Upgrade Magic Bullet Looks to MBL 2.0 from Magic Bullet Suite 11 (Didn't Work)
3. Uninstall my gfx card and re-install it with the newer version (Didn't Work)
4. Reset AE preferences by pressing alt+shift+ctrl on the shortcut (Didn't Work)
5. Change render settings from H.264 -> .AVI (Didn't Work)
6. I've deleted "AE_OpenGL" from my After Effects folder (Didn't Work)

I've never had this problem before and hope that someone has a solution to this problem... if so please post an answer. I don't know if its because i put the plug in on all of my clips and then made an adjustment layer with another Magic Bullet Looks or if it's my clips fault but i just dont know what to do.
-Tyler

It sounds like Looks is only crashing on this project. If that is so then it's most likely a problem with one of your video clips. Either there's a corrupted frame or some other codec glitch that's throwing the errors. I'd suggest replacing footage items with temporary footage. You could even use solids. Replace one at a time, then undo, until you find the footage that's causing the crash. Then either re-compress that footage to another codec or replace it.
If Looks is crashing on every type of footage then you need to pursue other options that are more system related.

Rendering Sequence with Motion 3 Template Crashes FCP

I am using a template with 8 drop zones from Motion 3 in FCP 6.0.2. The template is used about 10 times end to end with a slight overlap. As FCP renders the sequence about 23% of the way through it crashes FCP. The templates contain still images - no video.
Any thoughts? (Besides don't use templates)
Thanks!

How to set luma key in FCX 10.1.2? Luma key adjustments do not open when selecting the Effects button on the toolbar.

Using FCPX 10.1.2 and trying to adjust a luma key, when selecting the Effects button on the Toolbar, the adjustments do not appear. Any suggestions?

TThe effects controls should be in the inspector. Select the clip in the timeline and post a screen shot of the video inspector.

AVCHD files crashing FCP using Perian

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone can help with a rather hard to pin down issue.
AVCHD files on a SD card recorded on a Panasonic broadcast camera have started crashing FCP on random file transfers (log and transfer window), say I have 30 clips to transfer, it'll freeze then crash the system on clip 22 but the other clips will be fine.
I have had a look at the report window and it says' Perian has unexpectedly quit' (why the **** are apple using third party software to do the job) and the log is just code to me.
I first suspected the camera an AG HMC151 (150) because I have two so it was easy to just test the other one, but it does it on both.
Then I suspected the cards, it does it on all of them.
So I can only assume it's the macs, of which I have two, both have 10.6.6 and I'm running FCP 6.0.6. they are both about a year old.
Because this is a random problem it's actually rather stressful as this is my living.
If anyone has any good ideas or has experienced this please let me know, I think I have mentioned everything I know and apologise if I have left out some piece of vital info.
Thanks

I've been having the same issue with importing AVCHCD footage from my Sony NXCAM. Through some major digging, I discovered someone else in another forum recommend the program Clip Wrap 2 (which I see someone also recommended above). I downloaded it just now and it works GREAT for creating useable clips. Highlight recommend.

AVCCam Crashing FCP

Hi,
Just back from Cannes where my latest short film was picked up by a distributor...aside from that great news, back to reality:
I'm just trying to load in some footage from the new HMC151 panasonic AVCCam.
However, everytime I try log and transfer it crashes FCP saying there's a problem with Perian. I've tried different Macs, card readers, using the camera as the reader etc, but the clips won't load in.
I tried shooting in 720/25p and the clips came in fine, but that doesn't help the fact I have a card full of 720/50p clips I need to get in and edit.
Any ideas? How do I remove Perian to get that out of the equation?
Help as always appreciated.
Kenny.

It has an uninstaller.
Look in the system preferences.

After effects has crashed see error repor 1. :41

hi okay on one of my computers i go to open after effects and it says after effects has crashed please see error report error 1 then later :41 then i go to uninstal it and it loads and stops it wont uninstal. please help.

how you doing guys, i hope you have solved your problem,if not this is how i solve it most of the time...
we all like fonts... alot.. sometimes we like it so much that we install every font we find kool, but after effects has a little bit of problem
caching most of those kool fonts ( i have 3,037 ).
what i did was booting my pc using HIREN'S BOOT CD in mini windows xp, download or if you have a backup of the basic xp fonts ( like me )
go to your windows folder in c: and cut and move the font folder to other drive and replace it with the basic one, reboot and voila! it worked
hope it helps. ;-)
