FCP HD 4.5 not recognizing video playback

Recently I upgraded my operating system to 10.4.8 from 10.3 on both my G5 and powerbook. I use FCP HD 4.5 on both. Now FCP will not recognize a firewire connection either in log and capture or recording video out. This problem started after the Tiger upgrade. I've checked all a/v settings and it states the firewire connections are missing when they are not.
Strange thing, during an attempt to capture video I can manually control the play and stop functions of the deck in the capture window but can't record clips.

Since you recently upgraded QT, this will probably fix you right up: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
Make sure you follow each step exactly as outlined or it won't fix the problem.

  • 7.0.2 Does NOT resolve video playback issues

    Still no fix for video playback stuttering in this version. Maybe it will help some of you having iPod problems, but I don't see any other improvements.

    On the iPad, close any open windows so you see the "favorites" screen, then you should see the Private link at the lower-left of the screen. For the iPhone, see:

  • Sony VAIO laptop not recognizing video ipod

    I just got a new Sony VAIO laptop. I plugged in my ipod, and it recognized it as an ipod and everything. I went to go install it, and the stupid windows hardware installation wizard couldn't install it. I have tried numerous times and it still can't. Now when I plug my ipod in, neither My Computer nor itunes recognizes it. The latest ipod updater doesn't recognize it either. However, the ipod itself has either the "charging" or "charged" icon on it. It charges like normal when connected to the laptop. I have yet to see it say "do not disconnect" when I connect it to the laptop I am using USB to connect the ipod. I have tried all of this stuff too and it didn't fix the problem: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343

    After three days and countless hours that I will never get back, I finally figured out how to get the computer to recognize the ipod and work like it is supposed to. If you go to the device manager and it is showing up with a yellow question mark next to it, open it up and if it is giving you a code 28, try this.
    Go to this thread, it helped me and maybe it will help you.

  • ITunes 7.0 Not Allowing Video Playback

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 7.0 all the video podcasts and purchased videos from the iTunes store do not play on my Windows XP Pro PC. The sound is fine but the video is just a a bunch of multiple colors and lines. I checked the IDE settings as suggested in a troubleshooting topic but still is a no go. Anyone else having trouble?

  • FCP Log and Transfer not Recognizing .MTS

    This is weird. Two weeks ago I received a bunch of MTS files and brought them into FCP 6.0.6 with Log and Transfer. Today I received a bunch more and opened FCP to log and transfer the files and now FCP won't recognize them I haven't changed anything to my knowledge. Any more troubleshooting ideas? I have clipwrap and that works but I have an outdated version and I guess upgrades aren't free so I only have the free trial version. Anyways, log and transfer worked great and now this problem!?
    Thanks in advance!
    Tim

    FCP can recognize MTS video files as long as you have the whole file structure.
    AVCHD->BDAV->Stream and something like that.
    If you indeed just have single MTS video file, you have to use a MTS Converting software.
    Hope my info helps.

  • Why is Internet Explorer 8 Not Recognizing Video on CS4?

    As we use Macintosh iMacs we cannot validate IE 8 on our CS4 Dreamweaver.
    But looking at a PC earlier we saw that IE8 did not recognize the video on our web page.
    We checked it at http://validator.w3.org But there was no given reason why.
    Does anyone know why? It works on Safari, Firefox and Opera.
    Thanks for any help...

    Microsoft's web browsers are bad. Very bad.
    But they all work with Flash if you have a Flash plugin and most people using Internet Exploiter download Flash. Problem is, that won't work for iPads.
    If, what you are trying to do is use HTML5, it simply won't work with a Microsoft browser. It will work with Webkit (Safari and Chrome) and will not work with Firefox until Firefox supports a video standard (which they won't until someone comes up with an Open Source video Codec).
    So Flash is still pretty much it.
    What I'm looking to do is to go with HTML 5 and do a detection for Internet Exploder and Firefox and offer a Flash alternative for them. I don't have an example yet, but I'll be looking at ways to do that.

  • Video playback on external monitor working. Only works when Print to Video

    I'm having a problem. I'm using FCP 5. When editing, my video playback is not showing up on my external monitor (Sharp MiniDV camcorder). It does however show up on the external monitor when I "Print to Video." This is the first time using FCP 5. I never had this problem with previous versions of FCP. Can anyone tell me whats going on? Thanks

    #8 External Monitor Viewing.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • No video playback to external FS device 6.03

    Hello. I have read all the posts about not seeing video playback on my external device (TwinPact 100/FW). I can see the current frame on my external monitor so I know the connection is good. But the image does not scroll when I playback from the timeline - it only updates on the external monitor when I stop playback.
    Any suggestions? 10.5.3
    Thanks very much for the help.
    D.

    Well I noticed that they had been reset when I trashed the Prefs.. was showing PAL. But I reset to NTSC/DV and then the external monitor should Unrendered. So then I rerendered the projcxt and same problem - no playback to the external.
    To be specific:
    720 x 480
    NTSC CCIR 602
    Field: none
    Compressor DV/DVpro
    Very frustrating. Would footage normally need to be rendered to show on the external? Ans must the compressor by DV for it to show? I normally work uncompressed (as the project will end up on DVD).
    Thanks for the help.

  • My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognize video taken on my new iPad, is there a way to resolve this?  I would like to take movies on my iPad and make movies in iMovie on my iMac.

    My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognized videos taken on my new iPad.  Is there a way to correct this, or perhaps I am doing something incorrect.  When I connected my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto popped up, but not iMovie.

    You have to import the movie into iTunes via iOS file sharing, then drag the movie from the file sharing window in iTunes to the desktop, then you can import the movie into iMovie. Here are the details.

  • Leopard Upgrade - Front Row 2.0 Video Playback Choppy

    Hi Everyone,
    I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and all is well except for video playback via Front Row. I'm playing video_ts files - which play back fine if I use the Apple DVD player application. In the new version of Front Row they tend to 'studder' and are choppy from time to time. I have 1GB of RAM installed, and I'm wondering if that is enough??
    Another note about video playback... I was watching the Dallas vs. Greenbay game last night via a live stream on the Internet using my Mini on a hard wired connection. Unfortunately, it was choppy for both audio and video. My G4 Powerbook did a perfect job. It also has 1GB of RAM, it's running Leopard - and I was watching the game over a wireless connection. Audio and video were almost perfect.
    Do you think that Leopard requires more memory than Tiger on my dual core Mini? I'm wondering if I should upgrade to 2GB's of RAM - or maybe re-install Leopard from scratch. (I did an upgrade install the first time.)
    (Also - My Mini is connected to a 37" 1080p Sharp LCD display via DVI.)
    Thanks for the help and advice!

    Thanks for the response Boece...
    My startup drive has 15GB of free space. The files are playing from an external Lacie HD (via USB 2.0) that has 20GB of free space.
    It's odd that all files will play perfectly when using the DVD app to view the movies. Front Row 2.0 will have intermittent problems when viewing the same file.
    Nothing else is running on the Mini when I am using Front Row.
    The only other time that I have seen choppy video playback is with the screen saver. I really like the new 'Mosiac' option for pictures - but with this display the Mini can't zoom from one picture to the next at all without being all choppy. It's almost like the graphics card is having trouble. The other options for 'Collage' and 'Slideshow' work fine - with smooth flowing playback.
    I'm planning on hooking the Mini up to a 19" monitor today to see if the problems go away.
    I'll report back with the results.

    Ken Selvidge ([email protected])

    I am not a computer savy person.  I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
    Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
    File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
    Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
    You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
    Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

  • ITunes cannot recognize touch/audio/video playback will not function

    All right, I asked apple support about this and didn't even get the dignity of a response, so here goes. My computer crashed a while ago, and when we rebooted it, this started: Whenever I plug my iPod into the computer, I get a message saying "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again." So I followed those instructions, and I still get the same result.
    A reason I think this might be happening is because I installed the iPod Touch update (not the one you have to pay for, but the one that puts that grey strip across the bottom of the home page), then the computer crashed. So maybe the update is installed on the iPod but not on iTunes? I'm not even sure how to get the update again to be honest.
    There are a number of things that we have not reinstalled yet on the computer, like our audio/video playback. Whenever iTunes is started I get this: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not function properly." And it doesn't--we have no sound on the computer right now. That is something I would like to change ASAP, I'm just dying to hear some new music.
    And when I say we have no sound, I mean zero sound capabilites: iTunes, Windows Media Player, even the internet, there is nothing at all.
    I really don't know much about computers, and I just didn't know where else to turn. Thanks to anyone who thinks they can help.

    Hey dbsabres06,
    Use the steps in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698 to uninstall and reinstall the Apple software on the computer. The Apple Mobile Device support is the driver that allows the iPhone and iPod touch to be recognized.
    For the audio configuration issue, try the tips in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304424
    Not hearing audio from system events, or applications like windows media player might be a driver issue.
    Try running your windows updates or checking your computer manufactures website for updates.
