FCP WON4T OPEN THE TIMELINE. QT PROBLEM , MISSING CODECS

thx for the reply,
i tried to downgrade QT version because of my MC soft that supports only 7.3. just got FCP 6 that, came with QT 7.5.5.
i trashed many QT files, hoping to prevent any conflicts with 7.3 (like in the old days)
now i can't even open a seq in FCP. project opens fine but with no timeline and only the viewer window.
when i click on a seq i get this message. "can't find the codec. "you may use a compression mode without the good card" (i'm translating from french).
any idea?
that'll teach me to go back and forth bet avid and fcp. gotta pick one.
thx again

hi there and thx for the help.
here's what a pop window said when i went to seg/settings "missing the 1:1 10 bit compressor", then the seq setting window appeared and i changed the codec to mpeg-4. the TL and canvas reappeared. i do have to render the video tracks.
here's what the QT movie footage infos says: "uncompressed 10bit 4.2.2 integer (Big Endian) Timecode. in the timeline when i check the properties it doesn't say anything other than it's ntsc ccir 601 26,9 mo/s nothing next to compressor unlike other shots.
thx a lot, at least i got my tl back.
how should i set my seq settings when i have different sources so i don't have to render all the time?
do i have to reinstall fcp6 to get these missing codec back or reinstall the os . can i just do an ARCHIVE AND INSTALL?
thx

My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

I have created a movie of vacation pictures on my windows movie maker (vista op system). When I open the timeline, select audio, and drag a tune from i-tunes, windows movie maker shuts down and no song is transferred. Are these systems incompatible

I have created a movie of vacation pictures on my windows movie maker. ( Windows vista) When I open the timeline, click on audio, and drag a song from itunes, windows movie maker shuts down, and the song is not transferred. Are these systems incompatible? Can I upload the movie to I tunes somehow and then add the music tracks? Thank you...

You may need to convert the file to mp3

Videos with avi format do not open under Lion and receive "missing codec" message. Worked fine prior to Lion installation.

"Access denied" when opening the timeline

I have FCP 6.0.6. I dragged a picture into the timeline, and the browser shut down. When I tried to reopen the timeline, it said "access denied." How can I reopen the timeline? I really don't want to have to start over.

What app are you running - Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Server?

"Can't open the illustration." problem

Hi,
I have a file that I cannot open anymore. I get a "Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation." message.
The peculiar thing is that I backed up this file to disk back when Illustrator would open it and I get the same error message when I try to open that one. I've gotten this error before on different files, but usualy due to overtaxing my machine and after a reboot the file opens right up. I have rebooted several times now and that just isn't working this time. I'm convinced the file is fine though.
CS4 with Windows Vista
Any feedback would be appreciated.

I thnk it is still the same problem but in this case it is with the scratch disk. I have a feeling that there is not enough continuous room on the scratch to handle this file even though it might appear that the fie is small compared to the size of the available space on the scratch.
Or what's behind door number two
Perhas it uses a font that is corrupt in that it is swelling the font data base which has become bloated.
Of course I could be wrong in both cases which means it is behind the mysterious door nuber three.
BTW did you try moving the Adobe Illustrator CS (#) Settings Folder?

I deleted the preview files and now the sequence on the timeline is missing

I deleted the preview files to save disk space by doing Sequence/ delete render files, now the sequence on the timeline window is missing. what can i do te recover the already assembled sequence on the timeline?
Help please!!!
Elio

First, are you sure that you deleted the Preview files, and not your media files? Can you check in Windows Explorer, that your media files are still where you had them?
Next, if it was the former, and not the latter, this should not happen. Did PrPro give you any sort of message, when you loaded your Project? Something like "where is file xxxx.AVI?"
There are instances where Sequence Timelines do not appear in the Timeline Panel. I'd not think that this would be one of those instances, but... is your Sequence still showing in the Project Panel? What happens if you Dbl-click on it there?
Do start checking the sales for hard drives. Editing video without enough hard drive real estate is asking for problems. It will be money well-spent.
Good luck,

Encore 1.5 -problem getting audio on the timeline

hi - newbie question!!!- i am trying to add audio to my mpeg2 video clip on the timeline in encore 1.5 - i believe you drag and drop the asset from the projects tab into the timeline but when i open the timeline and click the projects tab the timeline dissapears so i am unable to drop audio into the timeline.
is there any way of ensuring both tabs are open at the same time to allow this ?

What workspace do you have set up?
In our installation of Encore 1.5 it is perfectly possible to have the project assets list and a timeline both open at the same time.

General Error; failed to render the timeline and failed to export HD mpg2

I have searched for the posts if there is same issue I'm having on the forum, and it seems it's similar yet not really...
So I decided to post one.
I have 2100 sequential frames in jpgs. (each jpg size is 1280x720)
I open "image sequence" in QT 7.04 with 29.97 fps, then save it as MOV in external HD with firewire.
Then I import it into FCP 5.04 on Timeline.
Timeline setting is
Frame Size : 1280x720 HDTV 720P (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio : Square uncheck Anamorphic 16:9
Filed Dominance : None
Editing Timebase : 29.97
Quick time Vieo Setting : Compressor -DVCPRO HD 720P60 Quality 100%
After I place the mov file on the timeline, the Red Bar shows up.
I tried to render the timeline, it will only try to render to 3% and stop, and "general error" pops up.
I tried to use Compressor 2.01 with HD mpg2 preset to export out as HD mpg2 format, and it will fail to export.
After I read several posts on here, I was wondering I might have corrupted mov...
I re-create MOV file from QT and import in FCP5 and do the same... but I still get the same error...
I tried to re-start computer and tried, no luck..
Then I was wondering maybe some of the jpgs is corrupted...
I'm not sure how to check which jpg file is corrputed since there is 2100 frames in directory.
It is able to show all jpgs as thumbnail images..
So my questions here.. are...
If I do anything wrong during the step?
If not... what's wrong? why i can't render the timeline, and why i can't export to HD?
Or if there is a "way" to figure out what file is corrupted..?
This is not first time I have the same problem, I even tried to test out with 10,000 jpgs frames and create mov ... and import in FCP5..etc...
I had no problem with render and export... so I don't think it's the "HD length" issue...
If anyone have the same issue or know what's wrong... please help!!!
Thank you,

I downloaded iview Media pro free trial version to catalog the image to see if there is any corrupted jpgs.
Unfortunately, it didn't find any corrupted jpgs.
I also tried to change the sequence setting, under "QuickTime Video Setting" from "DVCPRO HD 720p60" to "HDV 720p30" (since I found out the frame size for DVCPRO HD 720p60 is 960x720 with 59.99 fps).
The result I get after I placed mov on timeline, it used to give red bar, it gave me orange bar... which made me be able to render the timeline without problem.
However, Compressor still is not able to export HD mpg2.
Then I changed QuickTime Video Setting from HDV 720p30 to "photo-jpg", the bar is now grey, but still not able to export to HD mpg2.
now I don't really don't know what's going on.
anyone can suggest me what else I can try and see...??

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.

Vertical scroll bar disappears on the timeline?

After I use the vertical scroll bar once it disappears and I am unable to scroll. If I click the film strip on and off, it comes back. Is there a way to always keep the scroll bar visable on the timeline?

That has got to be a bug. Go to the Motion menu and Provide Motion Feedback... !
Otherwise, you can scroll with your mouse. I use a mouse with a scroll wheel, but I think I remember the magic mouse has a scroll gesture(?).
You can make the layers smaller by mousing over one of the lines in the layers list to the left of the timeline. The cursor should change to a double-pointed arrow. Click and drag the layers smaller.
You can open the timeline window wider by mousing over the Timeline top border, and click drag to make it larger.
I use this feature so rarely that I had never noticed before. When the scroll bar does appear, it's not "fully formed" either -- just a grey bar -- no resize controls on the ends at all.

Timeline menu problem.

So, I tried to open the timeline window, and when I selected the highlight of the menu stayed after closing the menu. This has happen me before with other softwares, like residual data or something, that floats around until you reboot the software or the computer, in case of Windows. But this little thing does not go away!.
This has a fix or something?

Yes to the updates, from videocard, to windows, to adobe.

Missing Codec in PrE 9, but not 2 or 10?

I've browsed the forum about missing codecs and AVIs, but I'm still confused. I have an old Canon S3IS that saves video as .AVI. I have no problem using those files in PrE version 2 & 10, but when I try to open them in PrE 9 I get the "not supported or missing codec" message and they won't import. Question: Why does version 2 & 10 work but not 9? ...And what is the easiest fix - download a codec pack or a video converter (hopefully a free one)?
(Note: Running PrE 2 on WinXP, PrE 9 on Win7x32 Home Premium, and PrE 10 on Win7x64 Ultimate).

Please do not EVER download a codec pack !!!
Some people who have done so have then had to wipe their hard drive and install fresh to fix the problems
