Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes.

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes.  The import appears to have occured successfully despite the crash as it is in the folder when I reopen FCPX.  But having to restart the program every time I import is annoying and suggests the program is deficient.  The only imports I have tried so far are from iMovie, its sister program.

Have you tried dumping the preferences file, always my first item when issues arise in the FC family. Second, have you tried different file types? It could be a file issue, FCX not recognizing it (letting you import, but throwing up afterwards).

  • Every time i put a clip into the timeline it crashes and just has the color wheel i have to force quit the program.

    I just downloaded the trial to see if I wanted to buy instead of using Adobe Premiere.  Every time i put a clip into the timeline it crashes and just has the color wheel i have to force quit the program.  I tried deleting the program and reinstalling it. Please help. Here are my specs
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    OS X 10.8.2

    Is this for FCP-X?

  • I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro. There are two clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. It is extremely frustrating, can anyone help?

    I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?

    The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
    Is this enough information?

  • I want to use my macBook Pro 2,2 (mid 2007) to display video being fed from a Canon 5D video out into the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.  Is it possible to input live video from another digital camera into the MacBookPro

    I know that the built in iSight camera records video.  I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D.  Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described.  If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)

    Dear Ben,
    Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
    Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

  • How to do import files from my dslr SD card into the timeline in Final Cut Pro X without losing HD quality?

    The video clips appear to be rendering in high quality while in the import bar, but once i drag the clips into the timeline, the quality drops significantly. I have already exported the project, but the final product still shows that the quality is horrible even playing in quicktime.

    Need much more information. I don't know what your DSLR is. Start with that. Please give exact specs of the media and of the project properties.

  • IMovie '11: how to move edited clips back into the event library?

    I made a green screen video that is supposed to be the foreground, and edited out the ums and ahs.  Now I need to add a green screen background, which apparently I cannot do after already inserting the green screen foreground footage.  (I would LOVE to be able to do that, but apparently you cannot.)  I have tried to drag the edited videos back into the event library, but they bounce back out, and I have checked all of the menus twice and there is no command to export to event library.  Help!  I need to insert a background and don't have another hour to re-edit from scratch.

    Hi
    No - there are no easy and straight forward way to do this - BUT
    You must do as one does in iMoivie when there is a need to combine several functions.
    Export out (the manipulated clip) as a full quality QuickTime movie (just this part)
    Then import this as a new Event
    Put this into a new project (if several effects is to be applied) or into Main movie if You only need to apply one more thing as a GreenScreen.
    For several effects - one might need to Export/Import several times. Much easier in FinalCut Pro.

  • When I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    when I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    Because your clip properties do not match your sequence settings.
    It will help a lot if you provide details ...
    FCE Easy Setup
    Sequence settings (vid rate, frame size, compressor)
    Source of your clips (camcorder make/model, etc)
    Clip properties (vid rate, frame size, compressor)

  • Is there a way to copy referenced video clips into the iMovie library?

    When I import video clips into an iMovie event it seems that iMovie uses only a reference to the file. When files are moved things get horrible broken soon. I noticed that iMovie does actually copy video clips into your library when you convert your library from iMovie'11 to iMovie'13. Is there a way to copy video clips into the iMovie library when importing them so that they don't get lost?

  • When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
    Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
    If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

  • Every time I attempt to adjust a Ken Burns effect Final Cut 10.0.6 is crashing.  The program just exits and sends a report to apple.

    This has happened at least 50 times since I  installed 10.0.6 I've done a complete reinstall following Apples directions but the problem persists. I'm using a 17" MacBook  Pro 2.66  i7, 8 gigs of Ram, OS 10.7.5.  My projects consist of 2 to 3 Terabytes of media. This is just one of a myriad of problems I'm having with this release. I'm in the middle of 3 large projects and the crashes are literally costing me 1000's of dollars. How do computer companies get away with releasing seriously flawed products without any accountability.  If a car company did this they'd be facing law suits right and left.

    Try hiding your projects and events. If the app opens, move the projects amd events back to their normal location until one causes it to crash – hence identifying the problem.
    If it still crashes go to your home library>FInal Cut Pro ad trash the Layouts folder. Final Cut will re-built it when you next open it.

  • Ok, I thought I could do a project in my new Final Cut Pro X. I got everything downloaded on Final Cut and I made my Project. The problem is is has taken so long to render that I don't have time. How do I download the video from Final Cut to Imovie?

    Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event"  > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

  • HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

    When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

    Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
    If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
    If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
    If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
    Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

  • FCPX: In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?

    In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
    An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

    The way it works in FCP:
    Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
    You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.

  • I am using HD clips from an EHD in Final Cut Pro X.

    Upon importing one clip to Final Cut pro, should there be 4 clips on the EHD in the Final Cut Events Folder that look like the following?

    What about in Final Cut itself?  I have clips in the Event Library that look like both of these below.

    I am asking this question because I have merged too different events taken of the same event on the same day with two different cameras, and when I do that I get problems with missing red clips with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark ! 
    Even if they aren't related, if someone could explain the reason for the four types of different clips above I would appreciate it.  I realize it could be as simple as "that's what is produced on the EHD when you import clips and select the Analysis files for Color Stabilization, etc.
    Thanks, Tracy

    Since I have an 8TB Pegasus EHD that is rapidly filling up to the point that its almost full, there shouldn't be any problem to go ahead and delete the Original Media Folder after I have an Optimized Folder for that same footage is that correct?
    I can now use this "Optimized folder" to produce films in the Project LIbrary with music, transitions, titles, etc.?
    If I wanted to be redundant ( Engineering (of a component) not strictly necessary to functioning but included in case of failure in another component) I could put all my "Original Media Folders" on a different EHD in case I had EHD failure. Do you agree?
    I couldn't resist putting the definition in parentheses because I couldn't believe how perfectly it fit!!
