FCP keeps quitting when using compressor

Hello all, when exporting via compressor, FCP keeps quitting. The compression is a custom file that I use all the time. This has never happened before. I've trashed the preferences - which usually fixes most bugs, but not this time. And ideas?

As a work-around, export a self-contained or reference movie from FCP (File->Export->QuickTime Movie). Be sure to include chapter markers if needed.
Use the resulting file in Compressor.

FCP quits when importing pics

Doing a project with lots of yearbook pics, and about half the time FCP "unexpectedly quits" when importing these pics. They're regular jpegs, no noticeable pattern, so I now transfer pics to desktop and do it from there. Best way is to set all material in media as a few of you told me, but I'm too far into this project and it's almost done. Any ideas as to why FCP quits would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure all your jpegs are RGB and not CMYK.

Iphoto quits when importing

what to do when my iphoto keeps quitting when importing?

What versions of iPhoto and the system are you running. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

FCP keeps crashing when loading thumbnails from bin

Hey folks,
I am having constant issues where FCP keeps crashing when I load a bin with thumbnails. This doesn't happen every time I open a bin, but after I open say 6 or 7 bins. After the research I have done I have come to a couple of possible solutions 1= this previous post
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9545404#9545404
The only thing that is stopping me from trying this procedure is I don't have another Mac with the VADriver, so I have to extract it from the OS DVD, which is fine thanks to the Pacifist program which makes it easier, but I don't know how to get the specific file extracted.
I also noticed that the guy who solved the same issue with this procedure has an older OS to mine, so surely with the new OS the problem would have been resolved??
2= the other solution seems to be to put the footage onto a hard drive with a faster connection other than firewire 800. But this doesn't seem right to me because the project worked perfectly fine on the old PowerPC Mac using the same external FW800 drives I am using on this computer.
I would appreciate any advice. at this point I am probably wasting around 1-2 hours a day with FCP crashing and having to reopen the project to work on it again.
Anyone having similar issues?

Here's what the fabulous Crash Analyzer says about it:
*MPEG Media*
This crash appears to have been caused by MPEG media (or MPEG-derived media such as XDCAM, HDV or H.264) in the timeline. MPEG-based media is not recommended for editing in Final Cut Pro.
*Suggested Actions*
Set the codec of your sequence to ProRes in Sequence Settings.
Alternatively, and for best results, transcode any HDV, MPEG-2, XDCAM, AVCHD, H.264 or other long-GOP media into an editing-friendly format such as ProRes or Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).

IPhoto 8.1.2 quits when importing

iPhoto 8.1.2 quits when importing. It only imports 1 photo at a time. Every time I try to import more photos, it quits.
I tried deleting com.apple.iPhoto.plist
I tried repairing disk permissions
I tried creating a new account, and it quits there also

Flash cs5 keeps crashing when importing images.

I got the same problem. I tried to import into Flash cs3, cs4, cs5 - constant error in each application.
But seems I've found the reason why this happened in my case.
I just deleted the installed system video codecs (divx, xvid, third-party codecs).
I do not see a direct connection with the import objects into flash. But fact, immediately after the removal of codecs it has to work.
I suspect that the reason could be a third-party codec that is associated with playing QuickTime. Maybe.
Also if it does not help you this way, I used a temporary solution.
Open the psd in Adobe Ilustrator, copy images to clipboard, paste it into flash.
In my case the images are not displayed on the screen after insert, but put into the library.
Don't touch objects, just save the file, close the Flash.
Launch Flash and open saved file. In my case in the first run was an error.
Close the application and open it with file again.
The second time the error was not followed, the images were within the document 8-)
This option made it possible to work until the issue is not solved completely (adobe, wake up!).
win7 64, cs5 (cs3, cs4 had the same issue)
Perhaps it can be useful for someone.
thx
Sorry for my English.

Please, oh Please someone help me. My FCP keeps quitting unexpectedly and I'm in the middle of my biggest project ever. I need help!

My FCP keeps quitting unexpectedly, it’ll start load up and then quit around 16% of loading my project. Please, someone help me this is my biggest project.

You do know where the project is, don't you? Select the project in the finder and get info for thr project. How big is the file.
You can find how to trash your preferences <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html">here</a>.
You do have the media on separate drive, don't you? If yes, unmount the drive with the application closed. Drag it to the trash. Trash your preferences. Launch the application. Reset the scratch disk if you have to. Open the project. What happens?

InDesign CS5.5 PDFs cause Indesign 2.0 on OS9 to quite when importing

InDesign CS5.5 PDFs cause Indesign 2.0 on OS9 to quite when importing. Is there a fix for this?
I'm trying to trouble shoot a client issue and telling them to upgrade is not an option.

Try the press quality setting. It should work.
And suggesting that they upgrade is certainly option you should present them with. If they don’t want to, that’s another issue all together.
ID 2.0 is more than 10 years old.

FCP unexpectedly quits when I try to capture HDV footage

I'm trying to capture HDV footage shot on the Canon XHA1 and my FCP unexpectedly quits every time. I've used this type of footage and camera before with no issues.
I've trashed the preferences, tried setting the scratch disk to an external drive and on the hard drive.
I'm not sure what to try next?
Do i have to re-install?
anything would help!
Thanks

FCP version?

Imovie keep quitting when editing/do i need ilife 08

Ok I am doing a project and every other minute my imovie software keep quitting on me I am not sure if its because I am doing to much on it. However, this has been the 1st time I have use my imovie in over a year so I really don't quite understand.
Another problem I have is that I have a JVC Everio hard disk camcorder and when I try to upload my footage I can't. Instead all I receive is a MOD file and the video and audio is been separate, but when I plug it up to a pc I get everything and the camcorder is suppose to be compatible with mac becuase I can upload my photos and I got a disc for it but I had an issue with that also my mac wouldn't show it. Please can anyone give me any advice.
P.S. I went to a apple store and the sale rep told me I need ilife 08 and that ilife 06 is the reason I can't upload my footage is this true. I want to know before I buy it.

On the quitting problem, make sure that you have enough free disk space for iMovie to operate--at least 15GB and 20GB is better.
When iMovie starts acting up, there are a couple of routine maintenance things you should start with. First, close iMovie and trash the file named com.Apple.iMovie.plist located in User (your name)/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create another .plist file on relaunch. Before relaunching, do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. If those things don't work, and you are getting the unexpected quitting problem with other programs as well, then you might consider running a disk repair program like Disk Warrior.
Make sure that your iLife programs are updated to current versions.
Regarding the import problem, the Apple store guy is correct. iM6 is designed to import video from mini DV tape camcorders, not the HD hard disk type. That's why you are having trouble. iMovie 08, however, can import from the hard disk type of camcorder.

Fcp keeps quitting

I am doing some basic editing and fcp has quit 4 times this hour. I am using a fcp 4.0 and editing SD footage from my sony avchd sr-5, (I converted in mpeg streamclip to mp4)....
It started crashing as soon as I started working this morning. This has never happened so frequently before and I edit small clips often. Help! I cant get anything done. any ideas?
thanks

If it isn't HD, don't ever use the MPEG-4 export option if you plan to edit the footage. Go to File->Export to QuickTime and when the export window opens, use the drop down compressor menu to choose Apple DV/DVCPro NTSC (or PAL depending on your location). Set the quality to 100% and the audio to uncompressed 48khz.
Do NOT deinterlace if you plan to edit.

Error message when importing footage

I have Premiere Pro CS4 for Mac and I am trying to import footage from my Fujifilm digital camera the model is F470. When I import the footage it gives me an error message of "unsupported compression in file" The file is a .avi and when I try to use ffmpegx to try to convert the file it says it is an unrecognized file. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much.

FCP keeps quitting on me!

Hi, I am running FCP on a MacPro, version 10.5.8, with 6 gig of memory. But I am suddenly running into a situation where the program quits on me every couple of minutes. Any thoughts that might help would be greatly appreciated as I face a deadline on a project.
Many thanks, Bob

Thank you guys for the links to 'trashing preferences'. I used a page written by Larry Jordan and successfully trashed my preferences. Working in FCP seemed to be working a bit better then, but the problem remains! Right now I need to export a 25-minute video, but FCP keeps crashing before I can achieve the export. Any further thoughts?
As always, thanks very much, Bob

No audio when importing footage under capture

When I'm importing footage from my camcorder into FCE there is audio in the caputure window & no levels on my audio meters. The camcorder I'm using is a ZR500 Mini DV using to import.
These are the steps I have done: File -> Easy Setup then Format: -> (all formats)
after that Use: DV-NTSC Firewire Basic.
Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
FCE 4?

Welcome aboard idw3,
Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
FCE 4?
That's normal for FCE. All versions have been the same. If you need to hear the audio use the cameras headphone socket if it has one.
All audio can be adjusted in the Timeline during editing as required.
