FCP 7, maverick, animation million+, iMac play back issue

I have 3 years old iMac, 8Mg RAM duo. poorly handled transparent overlay HD 1920by 1080. It would play and pause in the viewer preview window, slow rendering time. So I got my self the new iMac 27" with 16 MG of ram, quatro. The playback and rendering looks even worse. Is it bad memory, computer itself, or Maverick is not compatible with FCP7?
Thanks,

well yeah. animation codec with alpha (or even without) is NOT a playback format. It's an uncompressed format for working with full quality video with transparency.
HOWEVER, Apple ProRes 4444 can have an alpha channel and plays back on my system just fine. As a matter of fact, it will actually play back while keying over background video in fcp7.

HF R400. Play back issue on computer. Not the right codec?

I own a Vixia HF R400 and when i try to view my videos on my computer in any media player it says that this file format is not supported in all of the players. It also mentions something about the codec? Not to sure what this means. I recorded in AVCHD if that makes a difference. If anyone could help that would be great! Thanks!

Adding to what other posters said one important thing missing: to the best of my knowledge AVCHD defines the container format as well as the video and audio codecs. The video codec is H.264.
From my own experience I know that Microsoft's so-called media player doesn't really work with H.264. Especially when using any higher bitrate as AVCHD does, many media players freak out. The same happens with high-bitrate mp4 and mov containers with H.264 streams inside them. Think GoPro Protune H.264 footage.
VLC seems to work, but you may experience playback issues. Xine has no problems ... but doesn't run on Windows.
Funnily, my Samsung Note 10.1 2014 plays back any high-bitrate H.264 footage up to 45Mbit/s without any problems, even in hardware. On the other end, my Samsung TV chokes on the same footage.
In my own experience, AVCHD should be seen as kind of raw file to be used solely as input to video editors, but not useful for direct viewing. Transcode to lower bitrate footage if you want to watch your footage on Windows, low power tablets and phones, as well as TVs.

Play Back Issues

Ok guys I recently downloaded the trial because I'm thinking of getting on the cloud. 1st off I built my own system its pretty sturdy.
Supermicro X9DAX-IF board its dual cpu
2 xeon e5 2630's v2 ivy bridge
84 gb of ram kingston hyperX
Nvidia Quadro K4000
120SSD samsung just to load progarms
2tb western digital green to store data
1200w cosair platinum
liquid cooled system
windows pro 8.1
Now my playback refuses to work it works fine in after effects and prelude but it will not work in premiere. its fine if i scrub and you hear the audio, but if i push the space bar it only plays for a second. I see they fixes for the mac but is there one for the PC because this is a deal breaker. I'm thinking if you guys don't care to fix this issue or give a fix I'm thinking I should just flip completely over to Nuke and Hiero and learn a set of softwares. I downloadd those trial versions today and they work fine video loads and plays back so i can make my cuts.

84 gb of ram kingston hyperX
Should that not be 64?
Nvidia Quadro K4000
Pity, since it's so slow, as are your CPU's.

As long as it is the Pro version, OK. If it is the EVO version, bad luck.
2tb western digital green to store data
That is the cause of your problems. NEVER use a green disk on an editing rig and God has forbidden it's use if it is the only data disk in any system.

Play back issue

Just installed and updated Logic Studio on a DualCore 2.3 G-5 Pro Logic is working fine but SoundTrackPro is not. Trying to play the Ducati demo and there is a problem with it stopping soon after play back. At first there was a message that read Audio was dropped and that long files needed to be removed or other apps shut down. No other apps open. Now I have sound but it still stops right after playing.

Ok, here is the message; "SoundTrack Pro is dropping audio because your computers hard disk cannot deliver all of the audio in time. Try removing some long files or quitting other applications".

Mp3 play back issues oniPOD nano

I have an iPOD nano with version 1.0 software.
I use LAME and EAC to generate MP3 VBR high quality files.
Some CDs while ripping may contain small errors the ripper (EAC) can't correct as the disc is scratched, I then encode these wav files into mp3 vbr with lame.
OK, load them into itunes then on to my iPOD nano and iPOD Shuffle.
The suffle plays them beautifully can't even detect the error on the wav rip from the scratch, it does not course any skipping or skips or errors in the play back.
The Nano plays the song but skips in the middle with a
scrunching sound that nasty and its loud. Totally ruins the pleasure of listening to the track.
I have many such tracks..... so why is the nano mp3 decoder so poor compared to the shuffle. Will when will it be fixed?
I rang apple and Bala said I should post here, so here is the post, while he forwards my "ticket".
As it stands I would tell any one out there DON'T buy a Nano, keep to the shuffle until this is fixed. Also I
feel the shuffle sounds better than the Nano, The nano sounds woolish compared to the shuffle. But nano is dead sexy
I will be returning my nano if the jumping and skipping can't be sorted its just not worth listening to my tracks on it.
Have fun.

I only have a 20 GB with Color Display, which sounds fine. I use the Apple Lossless encoder BTW.
I've never had any problem with any CD (even those who jump so badly in the player that you can hear about 5% of the songs) when ripping with iTunes (although once it refused to rip a track on my worst CD).
Have you tried another Nano to see if yours was defective ? Have you tried ripping some of your songs with iTunes and see if, once loaded onto your Nano, songs will play normally ? (EAC may be great but if you can't read them with your iPod it may be necessary to use iTunes.
If none of these work and you are still unsatisfied, and if you like you Shuffle, maybe you can return the Nano and wait until you can try a version that will play your songs, or go for a ROKR

Can my iMac play back mp3 or mp4 audio?

I would like to know if I can play mp3 or mp4 audio files on my iMac with OS X Yosemite. iI is a 27" 3.2 GHz with an Intel Core i5 and 8 gig memory. I am interested in an audio bible study in that format. I appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you,
Lee W.

Of course. Mp3 is universal standard. Mp4 is a standard based on Apple audio/video specs
Pretty much any Mac can play either format natively.
The included Quicktime player should be able to handle the formats without any issues.

I have k9n sli platnm having video play back issues

When I hooked up with Comcast from Verizon I switched modems from DSL to cable modem all using my lan port for the internet and since then some of my videos won’t play. Microsoft seems to think that it has something to do with open h.323 a couple of days ago I was messing around with some drivers for the video or display I can’t remember. It asked me if I wanted to keep the display driver so I did but when I restarted the computer a message about the pci bridge something missing, and the internet wasn’t working but I went to play the videos that wern't playing and all of them play. I did a system restore and got the internet back. But when I went back to look at those drivers again I couldn’t remember so I updated everything and every driver I could think of but still no dice.

Re-write it normally please. I get a headache reading posts that are in all caps. Also, all caps violates the forum rules. Please list all your components along with your re-write.

Strange play back issue with iTunes.

Playing songs from my PC the chosen song plays fine to a conclusion, but then jumps to another song as if switched to 'shuffle' which it isnt. The following songs are always the same. There doesn't appear to be any thread between them they are just always the same and they are songs I rarely if ever play so I can't understand why. I've checked all the controls and all seems fine. My Ipod seems to work fine and will play a whole album without problems. I have xp on the PC and am using iTunes 10. Can anyone help?

Greetings Rusty,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This may or may not help, but;
Try selecting the songs that are starting at random parts during the file.
Right-click on the selected file and select "Get Info".
If the "Start Time" for the track is not set to "0", then set it to "0".
Click "OK".
Does this help?
Kind regards,
Peter.

Play back issue using premier pro on mac book (snow leopard)

I have installed Adobe creative suite 5.5 on mac pro (snow leopard). I have attempted to playback my edited video and it does not work. I have read the faqs and followed what ever instructions I have found from the forum postings. I have reinstalled the product and repaired administator permissions. Can anyone assist me in resolving this issue urgently. Thank you Michael.

I have fixed this problem myself by searching the forum with argument "playback" "playback_issue". This a known problem. Go to link for a solution http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/playback-stops-loops-soundbooth-premiere.html
Thanks to myself.

FCP 5.1.4 no longer playing clips it used to play w/o rendering first

G5 2.7 Dual GHz PPC, 4.5 GB SDRAM, OSX 10.4.11
I haven’t used FCP 5.1.4 for quite a while. I digitized some home movie footage from miniDV directly into FCP 5.1.4. It plays back fine in the preview window. It plays fine if I open it up and play it from Quicktime v 7.6.4 (518.35). But when I put the FCP digitized clip in the timeline I get the red line indicating that it has to be rendered before I can see it play back in the canvas window. I tried to digitize new footage thru firewire directly into FCP with the same result – plays fine in the preview window and in QT. But it won’t play in the timeline / canvas window until I render it first. And the render file is twice the size of the original footage I digitized directly into FCP.
Also, playback is getting stuck on footage that used to play fine. The audio keeps playing alright, but the video gets stuck, then catches up and plays a bit, then gets stuck again, sometimes never coming back. If I export the file as a QT movie, the QT movie plays with the video getting stuck – I don’t know if it’s in the same places. But it makes exporting a waste of time as an option to “work around” the problem.
Did something change in FCP in the last year that I am not aware of? Like, maybe, FCP now upconverts / up-renders DV footage as HD footage as a default, or something like that? I used to just digitize 4:3 standard def footage into FCP, then drag it down into the time line, hit the space bar, and FCP would just play the files. Trim, delete sections, normal edits, and FCP would always play w/o rendering.
I don’t want to upconvert any of my standard def 4:3 home movies. I just want to digitize the footage thru / via DV, make some straight cuts, adjust low volume, put in some chapter markers, and send the edited home movies to Compressor so I can make DVD’s out of my home movies. I’m not even putting in transitions and FCP says I have to render the entire file from beginning to end!
I did add an iPhone to the scenario since I last used FCP. I noticed that the syncing that seems to go on constantly as a result of / related to the iPhone seems to reek havoc with FCP. So I shut auto-sync off. Now I have double everything in my iPhone again. But I’ll do whatever I have to in order to be able to use FCP to make DVD’s of all my old home movies.
I stopped using this USB 2.0 drive. The last time I tried to digitize something it was on an internal hard drive – separate from my boot drive, and not a partition of my boot drive, a separate internal hard drive, which should be even faster than the firewire 400 hard drives I used to use.
Please tell me if there is something I have to unselect to make FCP 5.1.4 just stay in Standard Def 4:3 so I can just edit my home movies without having to use 166% more hard drive space and wait for rendering on most everything I do.
If my session is corrupt and I have to start all over in a new session, please let me know whether there is a way to export the chapter markers that I’ve already painstakingly inserted on the home movies I’ve already struggled through, so I don’t have to re-figure, re-locate, re-name, and recreate them again. Even a printout of the chapter marker location times and the names of the chapters in simple text format would be better than having to recreate each and every one of them from scratch all over again.
Thank you.

As far as I can tell, they are not different, except for:
Aud Rate: 48001.8Hz on the older clip
Aud Rate: 48001.9Hz on the new clip
I cannot explain why the sample rates are not 48000 exactly. I didn't try to digitize them at the rates they digitized. The first, older clip came off of a miniDV tape via firewire from a JVC SR-VS30 miniDV / S-VHS deck. The second, new clip was digitized from the original BetaMax recording, in real time, through the same JVC SR-VS30 miniDV / S-VHS deck configuration, FCP set to DVDVCPRO50, the standard setting for DV that was the preset, that I have always used, using the miniDV deck as a "non-controllable device" source, recording into FCP in real time "Capture Now".

Why are video frames dropping out on import to FCP 10.2? Clips play back fine before import.

Having trouble with video frame dropout after importing to Final Cut Pro 10.2. Clips play back fine before import. I have an iMac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.13. Tried rejecting clips and reimporting to no avail. I'm also not the world's brightest techno editor.

Hi Russ,
Now you’ll know how really dumb I am! I have the libraries and media stored on 3 external drives, although FCP app lives on the hard drive. I accessed the project from one of the drives. Then also tried accessing it from the program on the HD. The media is AVCHD from a Panasonic AG/AC 160 camera, shot at 60 fps. I deleted the files, but haven’t had a chance yet to re-import as both opt. and proxy. Other clips, imported before upgrade, are fine.
I have an iMac mid 2011; Processor 2.5 GHz, Intel Core i5. Two of the drives are 1 tb and the 3rd is 4Tb
thanks,
kdc

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

Having downloaded Mavericks to my IMac I now find Time Machine couldn't back up to the Time Machine HDD. I am using a WD 1TB independent Hard drive

Having downloaded Mavericks to my IMac two weeks ago, I now find Time Machine couldn't back up to the Time Machine HDD. I am using a WD 1TB External Hard drive. I understand that a number of people have lost data since installing Mavericks on their Western Digital external drives. Has anyone any futher info. Or is there a better way of backing up my computer. Thanks. Lee

Problem playing back HDV from FCP HD

FCP 5.0.4
I am doing my first HD project and am experiencing a problem I cannot solve.
Using both a Sony HDV HC1 and Sony HDR FX1 as playback devices, I cannot get the video to play back from FCP using HDV1080i60. Under Video playback, the options for the HDV are grayed out for the only firewire options:HDV(1440 x 1080) 30fps and 25fps. However, the option exists under Print To Video, and when chosen, will send HD1080i60p video to the cam>hi def monitor.
I have tried every possible setting on both cams to find a solution. Using DV NTSC I can get a work around. The cam's will both capture and control via FCP. Thanks for any advice.

No HDV decks will allow you to monitor external video from FCP through them UNLESS they are in the recording mode. So they just don't support this like DV devices do.
You need to look at a card for this. Least expensive would be the Intensity cards from Decklink. I like the MXO from Matrox too for this too... does more output, but has no input... I use an Io HD for that... and turn that slow rendering HDV to ProRes.. much faster rendering, and visually lossless.
