FCP X 10.0.2 why does crossfade blank following video

MacBook Pro
FCP X 10.0.2
Video imported from Canon 5D Mark II using Magic Lantern (AJ) clean HDMI output via Matrox MX02 Mini Thunderbolt to SSD drive as ProRes HQ 1080i.
FCP X running on built in 750Gb hard drive
I've edited my video and trying to add crossfades but the video after the crossfade turns black and doesn't display.
Also 1080p25 on Canon 5d Mark II, 1080i25 on Matrix MX02 Mini and audio recorded on Zoom H4N recorder. Audio has to be sped up using Propellerhead Reason from 120bpm to around 118.5 bpm in order for the audio to sync correctly.
Help!
Lastly is it possible to transfer the project in its entirety from MacBook Pro to Mac Pro?
Thanks
Keith

OK - sorted the crossfade issue. Turns out that video clips with audio bound in won't crossfade correctly. Break apart the clip item then crossfade works on the video. Apparently according to Apple Support 10.0.2 should have cured this problem but it hasn't so he's going to escalate it.
The Canon 5D Mark II mini HDMI outputs 1080i. 720p is preferable so I'm going to test 1080i to 720p in the Matrox MX02 Mini to see how well that works - I'll also try the PsF (Progressive Frame for Interlaced compatibility...)
Copied event and project folder from Macbook pro to Macpro and that worked but clearly they'll get out of sync so I'll look at the XML output to see if that will help...
No resolution on the Zoom H4N audio running too quickly except that on the clips recorded with fresh batteries the audio stays in sync. Note to self - use fresh batteries for audio recording in video shooting!

Why does my computer buffer videos so bad

Why does my computer buffer videos so bad?

It can be a number of things, RAM and connection speed are the two on the top of my list.

Video use a lot of CPU/GPU resources and thus creates heat. The fans speed up in order to dissipate the heat. If you open Activity Monitor, it will show you the % of CPU that the video utilizes. At high speeds, the fans are very much audible.

Why does iPhoto now import videos?

I'm shooting a video and production stills with my DSLR. Why does iPhoto '11 import the videos? They just take up disk space. I can't do anything with them in iPhoto. Can I tell iPhoto to import the stills only?

iPhoto has always had the ability to import certain formats of video. Also, iPhoto video can be seen in iMovie for editting. - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196.

Why does my 16:9 video show up in 4:3?

I can't figure this one out. When set my 16:9 video as a new track/asset to the button of my choosing, I throw open simulator and when I go to my video... It has been squished into 4:3! How'd that happen, and what is the easiest way to fix it, I really don't want to export all these files again. Thanks.

I appriciate the suggestion, however, that's not my problem.
The menus are all in 16:9, but it's just my video that seems to have been squooshed.
Even in DVDSP's preview mode, that video asset looks like, and reads as 720x480, when the real file is 960x720.
Does anyone have any idea why DVDSP is thinking this is a square video file?

Why does a blank sheet come out of the printer first and then the sheet to be printed? HP d135 printer.

When I try to print from a web page using Firefox, the page usually does not print in the correct format and I always get extra blank pages. Usually the first page that comes out it blank. I'm using a HP d135 All-in-one printer. This problem does not happen when I use Explorer. Does anyone have a fix for this printing problem? Thanks for any help you can provide.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I loaded Windows 7

@paddyv, Welcome to the Community!
You should have the option in the program you're printing from, to change the page order. Check the settings in the program.
If you cannot find the options, please let me know which program and operating system you're running and I will have a look in to this for you.

Why does one of my videos show up as "widescreen" in IDVD?

One of my videos, which I exported from FCP, turns out "widescreen" when I import it in iDVD even though it is a regular 4:3. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could correct this.
Thank you!

I'm having the exact same issue in iDVD. I've exported QuickTime files using Final Cut Pro 6. In a project I'm currently working on 2 out of 10 QuickTime files previewed in widescreen in iDVD - even though they are all 4:3 clips. I tried creating a new sequence, pasting the content into the new sequence and re-exporting the files but so far I'm still having the exact same widescreen preview issue.

Why Does Logoc Pro (With Video Loaded) Crash When Changing Screensets?

Hi,
I have an annoying problem which has only started happening since I've been working in Logic Pro with a movie loaded.
The movie (.mov) is 2min 59 sec long and 3.2MB.
There are about 12 audio tracks with my voice commentary on them and I'm working on a music track to go behind video & voice.
My Mac OSX !0.5.7 has 7GB of RAM.
The crashes happen regularly but only when I change screen sets.
Thankfully the program saves my file every time but it is still annoying because I have to load up again.
I've also turned off automatic backups and a virus barrier but it does not help.
Has anybody had this problem?
any assistance is much appreciated.
thanks,
GB
PS: Since this movie project is my first, how do I save the movie with my voice commentary and music when I'm finished? Is it just a normal bounce?

Yes this is a known problem - with Quicktime. Downgrading to QT 7.4.5 works for some.

Why does it separate audio & video?

I have a few divX that I'd like to burn to DVD, however, when I import them into iDVD it separates the audio & video (Project info - assets), thus making the actual video seemingly twice as long, so I can only burn have as much to a DVD ... why is that?
I understand iDVD doesn't natively support divX, but have the proper codecs to do it ... so just curious if it's still a result of iDVD not quite fully understanding divX? but even still, once I convert to .MOV it still separates ...
so confused ... and frustrated ....

yeah, I'm guessing that it's the compression that will change things ... whenever I put a divX file in, it said it was taking up twice as much space as the file originally was, so I guessed that meant audio & video ... but that could just be coincidental ...
In all my stupidness I was judging based on file size, not run time. I'm trying to throw a few rugby games onto DVD, each being 1hr20min. Roughly 1gb/game ... on a 4.7Gb DVD i figured I could comfortably get 3 games .... I just realized my folly just before checking back here for answers ... doh!!
dumb dumb dumb.
oh well, live and learn ... again.
As an aside ... why is it that on my package of DVDs it makes reference to different modes (Standard, Long Play, Extend Play, etc.) and how many hours can fit on the disc ... those are usually VHS modes, aren't they? so I'm assuming (I should stop that) that I can't use this info for my divX file, cause if I could fit 6 hrs onto a disc (which the package says I could if I used Extended Play), then I should be able to fit the rugby games on ... but alas I can't, so I'm assuming this doesn't apply to me ...
sigh ... sometimes I wish the guys at my local electronics dealer would be more knowledgeable ... but that's not likely to happen anytime soon, especially if they're on commission

Why does safari quits during videos?

I'm having trouble watching clips on youtube or other links. During the video clips, Safari will unexpectedly quit. Also the clips will run about 4 seconds, then stop and load for 10 and then run for another 4. I have no idea why this is happening.

Why does Office language follow the Keyboard and can it be stopped

Hi
To clarify here I work for a multi-language company Office is installed in US English language packs are loaded for French, German, Czech and Japanese.
For my case I have a French Laptop but most of my communication is in English. In the office language settings everything is set to English. But the keyboard remains set in French.
Image not included because I'm not trusted yet.
When I open any Office document the proofing language will be French. In Word for instance at the bottom of the screen every new document opens with France (French).
I have tried changing this via the language preferences, by GPO and by Registry hack and nothing works. The proofing tool always defaults to the user input language defined on the OS. You can change it document by document of for PowerPoint slide by slide.
But that's not what I want. I want the spell check and grammar to check for the language I define as default.
Has anyone got any ideas.
Thanks

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your question.
As per your description, it seems you have the Detect language automatically
option turned on. This feature detects the language that you are typing in and enables the proofing tools for that language.
Please try to turn off this option and then verify result:
Open a new Word document or an email message from the Outlook client.
On the Review tab, in the Language group, click
Language.
Click Set Proofing Language.
In the Language dialog box, deselect the Detect
language automatically check box.
Hope this helps.

Why does dragging an imported video into a project reduce the file size by half?

I used a Canon Vixia HV40 to import 1 hour of HD video filmed using 24F and cina mode. My import and project properties were as follows:widescreen (16x9, 24F, cinema, import size = full, original size.
The specifications for the imported file are as follows/:
Size: 22.12GB
Dimensons: 1920 x 1080
Codec: Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM
Color Profile: HD(1-1-1)
Audio Channels: 2
Total Bit Rate: 47,113
When I drag the imported file into a new project, the resulting .mov file has the following specifications:
Size: 9.67GB (approx half the size)
Dimensions 1920 x 1080 (same)
Codec: H.264, AAC (different)
Color Profile: HS(1-1-1) (same)
Audio Channels: 2 (same)
Total Bit Rate: 20,607 (approx half)
What causes the file size reduction and bit rate reduction? Is it a result of the different codec? Is there any corresponding loss of video quality that results from the conversion?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Thanks a lot for your quick and detailed response!
Maximum image quality and file size are not the same thing, for a start.
Yes, but with JPG's they tend to be correlated, aren't they?
When you view a photo in iPhoto it's a composite of the original and the decisions recorded, and applied live as you view.
Oh, I always thought iPhoto makes a copy of the orginial and modfies that ...
If you want to use that photo for something then you have to export it. This make a new file with your photo in it. When you export you have a lot of options - including ones that will make the filesize bigger than the original. This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Ah, that is cool. That solves my problem.
If you use drag and drop from the iPhoto Window that's a form of exporting too -but you have no options there. You get the iPhoto Preview. That's a 'handy-good-enough-for-most-things version of the shot. If you want more options use the export command.
That's what I tripped over. (I used the email feature from within iPhoto for a quick sharing ...)
Thanks, G.

Why does my Premiere preview video not match output video? Colors, sharpening, saturation, etc.

The right side is Premiere. The left side is Windows Media Player. My export settings are attached.
WTF? The actual output is way more grainy, oversharpened, higher contrast, and oversaturated. The same thing happens when played with VLC and YouTube.

The problem is you're not using a properly calibrated external TV to judge the quality of the video. You really need that stable reference. Computer monitors and software players just won't do.
Computer monitors are more than up to the task of judging end results of encodes and exports. The encode the O.P is producing, is for the purpose of display on a computer monitor. What value is using a "TV" for this purpose? Definitely do not use a CRT TV for any QC purpose. CRT tubes even on the best of reference monitors had a useable reliable life for QC purposes of about 2 years. They have not been produced for a lot longer than that now.
You may have a point about the various software players.
@the O.P
Do you check your export by using the OUTPUT TAB in the Media Encoder?
Your settings appear to be perfect for the purpose (as long as you have Un Checked the 'Use Previews' setting)
If this is checked it uses the NLE preview files to encode your export.
What was your second screen grab taken from?
