FCP wont open motion projects on tileline anymore

I have been using the FCP suite by creating motion projects and imoporting the project file onto my fcp timeline, I really like doing this it cuts out allot of wasted time. However I just installed the new itunes and the new quicktime update and suddenly whe i try to change a motion project in fcp via "open in editor" teh OS crashes. says I need to restart...AHHHH.
Any ideas?
I use FCP 5.0.4 and Motion 2.0.1

Ouch. The OS crashes? Kernel panic? Also read what TheXlab has to say about kernel panics.
It sounds like the QuickTime update might be the source of your problems. I don't know if FCP 5.0.4 and Motion 2.0.1 are friends with QuickTime 7.1.3.
I would take advantage of the $99 crosscrade offer while it's still there

Wont open my project

i have been working on a project all week and im finished with it now. im ready to export the movies and now my project wont open it says its unreadable or is for a newer version of Final Cut. but im using the same one i made it in.
help please

Close FCE and Repair Permissions. Reboot the machine. Instead of launching FCE and opening the project, go to the project's .fcp file and double click. If not, after making sure FCE is not running, find and trash the FCE preferences. Reboot and launch FCE.

•TIP - Open Motion Project File In QT Pro

Not sure if everyone already knows this but you can open a motion project file in QT Pro.
For this one project I had to export QT files from Motion. It was taking forever and was playing around and discovered that if you open the motion file from QT player and did an export it was much faster.
The export from motion took 54 min...when using the QT method it took 5 min.
Why?
Who cares, it was faster and looked great.
If you already know this trick..great, if you dont I suggest giving it a try if you need a faster solution.
Cheers!

I've tried that. I think there might be a bug in QT Pro (PC) or for some reason my QT Pro can't handle an .ac3 file. I just upgraded QT Pro to 7.5.5 and now I get different behavior. Basically, I'm getting no audio at all even though I've chosen "Add to Movie" properly. I think the problem might be that QT Pro isn't able to recognize my .ac3 file. If I playback the .ac3 file in QT by itself, I don't hear anything at all. I don't have a 5.1 sound card in my computer, but shouldn't I at least be able to hear two channels? Do I need anything special installed (hardware or software codecs) to playback an .ac3 file with QT Pro?

CC 2014.0.1 wont open old project

Mac Pro with OSX 10.9.4 and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB, CUDA 6.0.54
I saved a Premier Pro CC 2014 project on 6th August (3 days ago), I then updated Premiere to the 2014.0.1 and now when it opens the project it just hangs after displaying the timeline, no wave graphics are displayed in the timeline, I tried deleting the preview files, and rebooting, still hangs, I tried opening backups, always hangs and I have to Force Quit it. But it will open other similar projects?
One time when I opened the project I got an error message stating my project had been saved to work with OpenCL, this was now not available and it was going to use CUDA, so wondering if the update has broken some link with the OpenCL drivers? Though the other project I'm working on at the moment is set to use OpenCL and that works???
Kevin

I solved this by sending the project file to a friend who owns an iMac with no CUDA graphics card and CC 2014.0.1 installed
So the project opened and was by default switched to Software only renderer, he did a Save As and sent me the new project and hey presto it opened on my machine, all I had to do was relink the media and it worked.
So circumstantially it looks like some issue with Nvidia cards using CUDA drivers on some projects saved in CC 2014.0 and then opened on CC 2014.0.1

Motion wont open some projects

I am wondering if anyone can help me out with this problem I'm having. I have been working on a project in motion now for the past two weeks. I am putting together two commercials. One 1 minute and one 15 second. The last couple of days the 1 minute project has been running rather slow. I figured this was because I have a lot of layers and only 1GB or DDR SDRAM. The 15 second one runs fine. Just yesterday I closed the ! minute to work on the 15 second and when I went to re-open the 1 minute it wouldn't let me. Every time I go to open it it says there is an error and shuts down. I can still open the 15 second project and other projects as well. Please help if you know what can fix this.

I've done a quick look and get this crash log:

and make sure you've installed the update, but I'm getting the same crash...
The good news is that the file seems to be intact - i.e. I opened it up in TextEdit and it looks good. It may be that cutting out a portion of the project in a text editor (a layer maybe) might get it to work...
still thinking....

Loss of Audio when opening Motion project in FCP

I have a 2 minute video I put together in Motion. When I then open the file with FCP the video looks great but the audio is not exported. When I save the file I state to save both audio and video. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Oh dear, I feel like such a noob now
EDIT Figured out what CTI and Match Frame is
and how do I check for .pek files?
Thank you for your time

Exporting .avi from FCP 3 / Opening FCP3 project in FCP 4

Hello,
I am currently working on a project in FCP 3. I need to export an .avi-file for use in Adobe Encore on a pc. I have done this before and used the DVpal codec which worked ok, but with this project the image quality is not ok, mostly there seem to be small jumps in a sequence (is on the verge of not running smoothly.. sorry, hard to describe).
I tried all the other codecs I have (BMP, Cinepak, DVCPRO-PAL, DVCPRO50 and no compressor) and all either gave inacceptable image quality or the film does not run smoothly, or took several hours for rendering a 3 minute film.
Can anyone recommend a codec that gives decent image quality and does not take hours for rendering (I am working on a G3 900Mhz ibook). Is there maybe an mpeg2 codec I could use so that I could avoid recompressing in Encore?
I also tried importing the project into FCP 4 on a G4 1.5 Ghz Powerbook but cannot open the file. Is there any way to convert the project to FCP 4? I read about using the XML export for transferring from FCP 4 to 5 or vice versa, but FCP 3 does not have the XML option.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know better than you, Randy, but I do have strong opinions.
OS X does tend to avoid file fragmentation, but that can only do so much, depending on how full the volume is and how much file deletion has taken place.
If the volume is very full, and you can't delete enough data to trim it down, the best thing to do is move/copy all the data to another volume, wipe the 1st volume, then move/copy all the data back. This is usually faster than using a defrag utility.
For best performance, keep your volumes less than 60% full. But I know guys who regularly run at 90 and 95% full without issue. So, go figure. And I know that conventional wisdom says to try to keep volumes less than 80% full. The thing is, when you benchmark a volume with a utility that measures throughput on the outer, inner, and middle tracks separately, you find that most hard drives will slow down when more than 60% full. NOTE: Not slow down terminally, but slow down by 10 to 20 percent or so.*
But the real answer to the defrag question is, don't worry about it . . . as Randy said.
* If you do the math, you'll find that the read/write heads are exposed to about 1/2 of the surface area on the inner tracks as on the outer tracks in a given amount of time. FWIW.

FCP wont open

Just as the topic says, my Final Cut won't open. I have version 5.0.4 and have all of the system requirements for it. A few days ago my Mac was working just fine, today when I tried to open it, the loading screen popped up and then it went straight back to finder. I reinstalled it, re-updated it and it still won't work. All the other components for FCS still work fine, except for Final Cut.

Eric, a little help on HOW he could do that would be helpful.
Download FCP Rescue and run it.

FCP Seq w/motion project: edit video

I have a sequence in FCP with a video that i sent to motion and added some effects. I then saved the file in motion, went back to FCP and decided that i want to apply some color correction to the original video. in the seq i have the MOTN segment that i want to get to and color correct just the video. it seems to me that i did that once before, but i can not figure out how to do it

Color correction to the original video would have to be done inside Motion. If you want to color correct the Motion clip as is, just treat it like a clip in the timeline.

Project file wont open

Help.
I cant open my Premiere Pro project files. After renaming some of the source files now Premiere says 'file format not supported' when I try to open. The same computer and program generated these files. I know I have to relink the media but any ideas why it wont open the project files?

Are these MPEG, or VOB's? If so, this Adobe KB Article might help.
If they are M2t files, then this ARTICLE might help.
If none of the above, please tell us the full details of your Assets and also you Project Presets.
Good luck,

HELP!!!!! FCP won't read project!

Alright.
Here is the synopsis of my problem:
I was having trouble with Soundtrack Pro: stalling, extremely long process times, unexpectedly closing etc... I was told to delete Soundtrack Pro and to reinstall it. So, I deleted Soundtrack Pro from my Applications and Dock and then inserted the FCP Studio Installation CD. It asked me to select the program(s) I want to install and Soundtrack was the only available choice since the computer recognized I had deleted it.
I then followed all the installation instructions and inserted every CD part of the installation pack (to my surprise it asked for all of them even though I only need to install one program).
After everything was done installing, I reopened FCP to open my project and preceded to send it to Soundtrack Pro. I COULDN'T EVEN OPEN UP MY PROJECT. The FCP opens but when I try to open my project I get a message saying "FILE FORMAT IS TOO NEW FOR THIS VERSION OF THE APPLICATION".
I don't understand. It is the same software that I originally installed.
PLEASE HELP. I AM WORKING WITH A CLOSE DEADLINE!
THANKS!

It is the same software that I originally installed.
Could it be that there was an minor update to Soundtrack that is now missing?
Sometimes those updates are not directly obvious and come bundled in a ProApps Update package. Reinstalling might have taken you back to an earlier version.
Look in Hard Drive/Library/Application Support/Pro Apps. There should be a file called "Soundtrack Pro Integration.bundle" does the version # correspond to the # of the Soundtrack application itself?
Also compare the version # of receipts file(s) in Hard Drive/Library/Receipts.
This will take some time to sort out. FCS puts lots of files in odd places and some are in invisible folders. Do you have the possibility of moving the project to another computer? That way you can at least get the job out of the door first.
Another idea, although it might not be entirely free of risks:
Move the receipts for Soundtrack and ProApps Udates to a folder on your Desktop. Launch Software Update. It will now think that those updates never happened and should offer to download and install them. The installer knows where the various components go and should only replace the parts that are missing.

Trouble Exporting From FCP 5 to Motion

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have a question. I'm trying to export a sequence of clips from FCP to a motion project. The manual says File>Export>Export to Motion Project as a path but that option does not seem to exist. I've gone the "Send to Motion Project" route but there is no option to embed content that way. How do I send my work from FCP to Motion with embedding so the changes are refelcted in FCP? Thanks.

Thanks! I actually discovered it myself by accident just a minute ago. I was selecting the sequence in the browser before and that apparently doesn't work. Got it now though. Thanks for the reply!

FCP wont open motion projects on tileline anymore
