Exported sequence no longer in FCP

I exported a sequence. Now it doesn't show up in the FCP browser. How can I get it back.

Use SPOTLIGHT...the magnifying glass on the upper right of the screen. Search for AUTOSAVE VAULT.

Exported sequence way longer than storyline

A storyline was created which had 41 minutes of footage in it. This was then edited down into a 14 minute long video.
However, when exported, the video was 41 minutes long.
There are no stray clips in the storyline, and I am not looking at a compound clip. Nor is there a gap clip adding this length and I am not using PluralEyes at all.
The storyline does not even extend to the 41 minute mark; the only way to reach this point is to manually stretch a clip to that length.
I have tried duplicating the project and manually copy and pasting the clips which comprise the sequence into a new project, neither of which has made any difference.
It appears that Final Cut Pro thinks that the sequence itself is 41 minutes long, regardless of how long the clips inside it are (unless I manually extend a clip to longer than this 41 minute mark)
I'm using Final Cut Pro 10.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.3

The storyline is a timeline within a project into which footage has been placed to create a sequence. As I understand it, the official name for a timeline in FCP X is 'storyline'.
There are no compound clips on the storyline.
Of the 41 minutes originally placed on the storyline, 27 minutes have been removed in the editing process. The footage was of a 41 minute long conference speech, of which 27 minutes was audience discussion, and was therefore cut out. Thus the original story line was 41 minutes long, but the edited sequence on the story line is 14 minutes long.
The 41 minute long exported video has the edited 14 minute sequence, followed by 27 minutes of plain black. I'm not confusing the Events browser with the storyline. There is a fully-edited sequence which is successfully exported, but with black 'filler' in the exported video, of which no trace can be found on the storyline.
This is an issue with the representation of the timeline in an exported video, rather than a connection between the event browser and the storyline.
Thank you for answering and I hope this additional information is of use to you. The key points are that I'm not confused about how storylines work, or about what the event browser is in comparison, but that there is an exporting issue which I can't understand.

Source files gone Offline but still exist - Can't export sequence!

Hi folks,
I'm hoping someone can help me out of a predicament, please.
I began a brief project a year or so back in FCP 3x for a friend to send to her kids. Since then it lay fallow until she brought me some new footage to add, but still have the Scratch disk intact as it was and the FCP Project files library with it. In the interim I'd upgraded the FCP Studio 3 and opened up the project in FCP 7. Strangely, some of the clips in the bin were listed as offline. I couldn't discern any pattern or reason why some clips were still linked with their raw source files and some not. In any case, I finished editing the short sequence in the timeline and went to export it to QT. I should have realized that, predictably, the exported sequence included only those segments that were not offline. I checked again and all the source clips from the camera exist, but was unable to reconnect them to the clips that access them.
For instance, the source file might be named, 100_2347.MOV, while named in the bin, ELS - Windshield Before JLM.
I'm notified that 20 of the clips are offline, but any attempt to reconnect fails. I'm not as savvy in FCP as I probably should be, otherwise this would not have happened, or I could reconstruct the actions that got me there, but I was fairly proficient on a Moviola and fluent on a Steenbeck about a 100 years ago, though.
What can I do at this point? Is there any way to force a reconnect? Manually? Will I have to start a new project re-import the clips and recut the thing? I hope I won't have to edit the thing from scratch at this point. What am I forgetting (Doh)? Thanks in advance for any help on this.
All the best,
David

Control-click on an offline clip in your FCP Browser, and choose Reconnect Clip from the drop down menu. In the top box of the pane that opens, you should see the clip listed as offline, and the directory where FCP was expecting to find the clip.
Is FCP expecting to find the clip on a drive that you no longer have connected, or have renamed?
What happens when you press the locate button?
Don't worry that you have renamed the clip in the browser to something other than than the source file name. FCP will keep track of that.

Exporting 1-frame stills from fcp

Here's my problem: I've captured lots of 1-frame stills from clips, stored in the Browser. Using 24PA Anamorphic Setup, wanting my final DVD to play 16:9 on a widescreen LCD. I then create a new Anamorphic Sequence and drag all stills to the timeline. Then, I export all the stills as jpg's, using QT Conversion to jpg. This works fine. But when I look at the resulting stills in Photoshop, they are squashed. Now, I can convert them to QT files and then get a nice correction by exporting the stills back out of QT, using Show Movie Properties>Visual Settings>Unchecking "Preserve Aspect Ratio">Changing Dimensions to 853 x 480. But then I've got a QT file which doesn't open in Photoshop. Yikes! By the way, in fcp, it doesn't seem to matter what format I set for the export--png,jpg,photoshop, etc. The stills always look squashed, compared to the video that they came from. Thanks for your help.

Drew13 or anyone! Oops! I just discovered another problem. I changed the pixel aspect ratio of all the 1-frame stills that I had exported from my 16:9 fcp project, and while there in Photoshop they look correct. But if I open these pictures in Preview, they still look squeezed. Then, if I open them again in Photoshop, I get this notice, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum quality." When the picture opens, it looks correct at 16x9 again. Apparently, changing the pixel aspect ratio in Photoshop does not "really" change the photo. My goal is to use the exported stills in a DVD slideshow,and have them look correct at 16x9 dimensions, but now I'm stuck with all squeezed photo-stills. Hmm.

Exporting Sequence Unknown error

Impossible to export sequence, I keep on getting the message "Error compilling movie. Unknown error."
I even tried to export in batches, it still does not work.
The sequence is under 5 minutes with mix camera footage: GoPro, Iphone, MPEG4, MXF files.
Working on a MAC PRO 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel. 16 CB memory.
Editing with Premiere Pro Cloud CS6. Editing mode AVCHD Square pixel 23.976 fps matching the MXF files.
I had previously exported another sequence of shorter length just fine. (it was a minute long) but this one is a no go.
I took out the majority of effects I had created which were all done with CS6 (repo, resize, etc.. ), still getting the same message. Started new project, new sequence, etc.. Same issue.
Project was previously edited on another computer, on a PC, and the names of the folders and the clips were modified on the drive (from the original folders which do not exist anymore) I had to relink the footage clip by clip to keep the original description, and yet sometimes when I shut down the program, the clips go unlinked, and I have to start again.
I am just trying to export for Youtube.
Suggestions are welcome.

In my experience, having mixed content (codecs, resolutions, frame rates) does not cause encoding to fail.
Your graphics card is not supported for PPro's GPU acceleration, and new drivers will not change that. For the purposes of your current encoding problems, being able to enable GPU acceleration is not likely to fix the issue. In fact, it's more likely that GPU acceleration would cause the problem, so I was going to recommend switching to software only had the GPU been in the mix.
Here's what I'd try:
Clear the project's cache file in case one of them is the fly in the ointment. You'll find them at the following path (unless you set a custom path for this project): /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common
Download the trial version of PPRO CC, load your CS6 project, and try to encode. It's possible that you're hitting a problem that was fixed in 7.x. Be advised that if you make any edits to the project in 7.x, you will not be able to open the new version of the project in CS6.
If neither of those measures work, then the best bet is to try to isolate the cause of the encoding failure. I do this by dividing the sequence: 1st half/2nd half; or video-only/audio-only; or if there are multiple tracks, disable one at a time.

Exporting taking extremely long time

Hi,
I have been working with FCPX for about a year and all of the sudden, my files are taking forever to export. I'm exporting the ProRes timeline files by using the Share option. I always export the file with current settings to the desktop. Once it's finished on the desktop, I convert the file to H.264 using a Compressor droplet. I've read that this process is supposed to be faster then exporting H.264 directly from FCP. The files I'm using are about 1-2 hours of 1080i ProRes. For the file I'm exporting now, the estimated export size is 140 GB and in 24 hours of export time it has exported 45% of the file.
I know these are big files, but it never used to take this long to export them. What can I do to speed up this process?
Here's what I'm working with:
Computer:
MacPro5,1
OSX Version 10.6.8
Processor - 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16 GB 1066 DDR3
FCP X - Version 10.0.8
Compressor - 4.0.7
This is my first time posting a question to this community but I have found answers to many questions here before, so thank you.

Suggestions:
Check the amount of free space on your boot drive and media drives. If they have less than 20%, do some archiving. If there is plenty of free space, check the drive speeds by downloading on of the speed apps from AJA or Blackmagic. Also Verify disks and repair permissions in Disk Utility.
While exporting, open Activity Monitor to make sure that you don't have a memory leak. Check free memory and Page Outs.

Is there a difference in quality between exporting to .dv in iMovie09 & FCP

I recently purchased FCP to do batch exporting of full quality .dv files because '09 didn't seem to have that option. I've been messing around with it now, though, and it appears as though both are capable of doing this. I've searched for this information and found conflicting results-- is exporting to .dv in iMovie destructive or is there no difference between '09 and FCP?

This thread sounds mysteriously similar to this one.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2380150&start=0&tstart=0
If you export to .dv with either FCP or iMovie I'm quite certain that you will be re-compressing your video. That's just the nature of the interleaved file structure of .dv
I you import .dv into FCP you will have to render the audio ONE time. Not the video.
If you export .mov files using the current settings (which should be DV NTSC) you will NOT be re-compressing the video. but you will have a .mov file.
FCP is NOT the right application for archival or any sort of file management tasks. File management is one of FCPs weakest attributes.

How to export sequence to P2 card?

Hi everybody
I saw a tutorial in Adobe webpage explaining how to export sequence back to P2 Card, as Premiere CS3.2 (updated) is able to recreate, from a edited timeline, all the folder and file system needed to be read on a P2 card under mxf format.
This can be a great way to export full resolution HD edited footage from one PC to another.
Unfortunately, I cannot find "export to P2" choice in my menu. I get export to Encore, to Tape, but no "P2" mention. But this mention appear in the Adobe tutorial... concernig any version from Premiere CS3.1
How comes this feature doesn't appear anywhere into the menu of my Premiere pro CS3, version 3.2?
Any clue?
Thanks

I found the link explaining how to do it.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WSE32B8568-2904-4e95-861 A-F09F75AA6C7B.html
Here is what they say:
"Select the sequence or clip in the Timeline panel or Project panel.
(Optional) If exporting from the Timeline, set a timeline marker, numbered 0 on the frame you want used as the P2 icon for the exported.
If you do not set this marker, the first frame of the sequence will appear as the P2 icon by default.
Choose File > Export > Export To P2."
Problem is that: I don't get any "export to P2" at this place in my Premiere CS3.2

BINGO!
You can't migrate the Final Cut Studio apps. They install bits and pieces all over the system folder and libraries. if those files are missing, the apps can't work properly. That's your issue.
use FCS REMOVER from digitalrebellion.com (free) to uninstall FCS 3, and then install again from scratch, and update with the Software Update.

FLV export option not showing in FCP

i recently purchased CS5 Master Collection Student & Teacher Edition. i am told that with the installation of CS5, an flv export option should appear in FCP when using "Export QT Movie".
Unfortunately this is not the case, neither does it appear in the FCP export menu, nor does FLV show up in Compressor, when choosing "Quicktime Export Components" from the "add" button.
Can anyone help?

In this scenario, you don't want, Export > QT movie. You instead want, Export > Using QT Conversion. Then one of your "OPTIONS" should be "flv."
Unfortunately this is not the case, neither does it appear in the FCP export menu, nor does FLV show up in Compressor, when choosing "Quicktime Export Components" from the "add" button.

In Compressor, same sort of deal: you need to set up a file with "Quicktime Export Components" selected. Not QuickTime Movie. Then set the encoder type to FLV.

The watermark on export function no longer works...

The watermark on export function no longer works... and when I go to edit the watermarks, it closes out the edit watermark window.
Any suggestions?

Hi - Not sure there is a lot you can do, unfortunately. With that said, I'd definnitely do a reset of the printer:
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from back of the product.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 90 seconds.
Connect the power cord into wall outlet.
Connect the power cord to the back of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button ( ) to turn it on.
Try the touchpad.
One other thing to try, disconnect if from the computer/router, power it off and see if you have the same problem. If you're still seeing the same issue after following the steps listed above, it would likely need to be serviced if you want the touchscreen fixed.
Hope that helps.

Export from After Effects to FCP

Hi,
I'm creating a 3 minute presentation at 1920 x 1080.
I'm just wondering what would be the best way to export from AE and from FCP?
At the moment i'm exporting animation compression quicktime movies from AE and bringing them into FCP. It seems to struggle when moving up and down the timeline.
I was going to export from FCP as a Windows media file as the playback is on a PC at an exhibition but I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to export for smooth playback. I'm thinking that I may have to export the movie in segments
Many Thanks

1920 x 1080 with an animation codec is going to generate a HUGE file. No surprise your timeline has come to a standstill.
Why not render it to match your other clips/format of your finished film?
I guess some kind of HD format given the size.
There's no best way to export, you need to know what export settings to select in order for it to fit your workflow or destination format.
If the file is for playback on a PC in kiosk mode, why HD? I very much doubt an internal PC HDD could keep up with 1920x1080 playback without some extra beef in the hard disk department i.e and RAID system.

PP CC 14 & AME CC 14 Exporting Sequence to MPG2 DVD Problem

I am trying to export a HD sequence out of PP CC14 to AME CC 14 for DVD. All my settings are set, exporting to MPG2 DVD. In the PP export window, if I choose either "Export" (which renders the files through PP) or "Queue" (which exports sequence to AME and renders the file there) both finished files are Re-transcoded when brought into Encore CS6. That should not be the case. It is transcoding the file twice and producing terrible quality. Exporting to a H264 for blu-ray works fine, only the audio is re-transcoded.
I found in the previous version of PP CC and AME CC (not the new "14" version), the workaround was to render everything through the PP Export Window and NOT send to AME. If I did that, Encore CS6 would show "Transcoded or Do Not Transcode" in the video status window - and once again, would only re-transcode the audio.
Has anybody else experienced this? Or have any idea what I am talking about? How does anybody else export to DVD?
My workaround now is to use the H264 blu-ray file, import into Encore, choose "Max Render Quality," and burn the DVD that way.
I am running the New Mac Pro 10.9.3
Thanks...

Re Stan:
This problem is happening when I am burning to DVD, not blu-ray.
When I do burn to blu-ray, the H264 file created in the PP 14 export window works fine in Encore - no re-transcoding.
The MPG2 file created for DVD in PP 14 has to be completely re-transcoded in Encore.
On this particular project, I had both a h264 file and an mpg2 file, one for blu-ray one for DVD. I just ended up using the h264 file for DVD, and let Encore re-transcode that file for DVD. It was better quality than using the mpg2 and have encore re-transcode.
I know it sounds confusing - let me know if you understand.

Exporting/Importing between Motion and FCP

Hi, I'm trying to export a piece of DV PAL Anamorphic video footage into Motion to adjust it and then export it back into FCP. But when I export it back to FCP I don't seem to be using the right settings as it becomes squeezed 4:3. It's still in anamorphic in Motion, my problem is just when it exports from Motion back to FCP.
Can you help me work out what I'm doing wrong please?

Final Cut forgets it's anamorphic after it's little outing to Motion. Simple right-click on the clip in the timeline, select item properties, and add a checkmark in the anamorphic line.

that's fine
When I bring in a Live Type movie, it looks pixelated
which I know is because the MiniDV sequence is a different

How do I have my Live Type movie fully hi-res
along with my MiniDV footage looking fine in this
one sequence?
thanks

Try rendering it and then watching it on a video monitor, not the computer monitor.
