FCP X Animated Titles Error - Help!

My OSX is 10.6.8, FCP X 10.0.7
I am working on a trianing project for the last few months.
It was working fine until i installed a software patch for FCPX which came through the apple software update. (well this is my assumption and i am not an expert on FCPX)
Everything except my Animated Text Titles seem to work.
My animated text titles shows a offline red exclamation mark.
They also shows a red bar on the rendering progress as you see in the picture.
i have used the built in animations such as Continuous and fade from FCPX gallery.
After reading another post, I tried importing a saved project fcpxml from my secondary copy and it comes up with the following error.
If i cant find a fix i will have to redo all the animated text titles (3000) of them
Someone please help me....

I have the same issue and would love a fix. In my experimenting I came across a temporary workaround, and subsequently have a similar issue exporting from Motion 5. Still no real solution, but here's what I've seen:

Exporting Widescreen from FCP to mp4...help!

Help! I'm trying to export a 720x480 video from FCP, to upload onto youtube. I feel this should be easy, but no matter what codec i use, the exported video looks stretched. I want the video to stay widescreen, can have black bars at top and bottom, as long as aspect ratio is kept.
What am i doing wrong??

You mean 720x480 Anamorphic, yes?
Here's what I do...
File - Export - QT Conversion
BROADBAND HIGH
Then, click OPTIONS and change size to 420x270.
That will force 'widescreen' no letterbox.
Then, I load that to youtube directly and IT takes care of the letterboxing.
Good luck,

Installation of Older FCP on New Mac - Need Help

Hi. Help.
I just got a new Mac. I have an older version of FCP - it is 4.5 aka HD.
My problem is that my 4.5 is an upgrade. I first got FCP when it was 1.2.5. Then I upgraded to 3, then 4.5.
To install 4.5 on my new Mac (with Leopard 10.5), I have to install the previous versions first, then the upgrades.
Guess what? I can't install the original 1.2.5, since there is no trace of Classic.
I am not going to go out and buy a full brand new version of FCP, when I am eligible for upgrades.
Is there a way that I can get Classic on my new Mac, even though I have 10.5?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
By new Mac do you mean an new Intel machine or a used PowerPC machine?
If you really mean a new Mac then you need to upgrade your version of FCP. FCP 4.5 is PowerPC based and is not supported on Intel machines. You need a Universal Binary version. The first UB version was 5.1 and it was available during the Intel switch as a Crossgrade, it is no longer available. You can purchase an upgrade for FCP though as long as you have the original serial numbers you do not need to install the old version first.

My fcp will not load please help!!!

i installed waves plugins for my protools tdm system and some how it has affected my fcp. when i try to load it, fcp stays stuck on loading audio filters. i tried reinstalling fcp, i tried trashing the preference folder and restarting ,but nothing helps. does anyone have any ideas? also itunes and quicktime are not loading i think these problems are related.
[email protected]

The same thing is happening to me on my G4. I don't have any third party plugins. In fact, i have looked in the application support folder and i can't find any audio plugins for FCP. I have reinstalled it several times and everytime i open FCP is stalls during the load menu. It always stalls when it starts loading audio plugins. Sounds like we have the same issue. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

FCP 4 won't launch - help!!

Installed FCP 4 on a brand new G5, dual core, 2gig machine. When I try to launch message says, "software or hardware missing - AGT graphics card." Shouldn't FCP lauhch right out of the box without an additional graphics card?
Upgraded to FCP 4 HD. Same result. Upgraded system to 10.4.8 and downloaded pro application support. same result.
grateful for any help..
Thanks..... Len

It is because you are installing old software on a new machine...a machine with specs beyond what FCP 4.o was designed for. It is looking for an AGP graphics card, for that was what was required. Your new Mac doesn't have that, so it can't work.
There are options though...
Shane's Stock Answer #29
You either need to either:
1) use the following hack -

or
2) Upgrade to FCP 5.1

Problems Encoding FCP/Motion Project to DVD, HELP..........

Hi all, i've already posted in the Motion forum and no joy so im hoping the FCP guys can help me. Heres the problem.
I have an FCP project which which is 720 x 576 48 KHZ DV PAL. I'm trying to add titles using Motion. I've tried the Embedd and non embedd methods and when i view the titles in FCP everything looks fine.
The problem occurs when i author to DVD (iDVD or DVDSP4). My settings are the same in FCP as they are in Motion. Any pieces of video with motion effects flicker really bad. I've coastered about 10 DVD's messing with the field settings and no joy. The closest i got to a result was by applying a deinterlace filter in FCP. Whilst this helped, the footage was still noticably lacking in quality compared to the rest.
I've tried exporting the footage in compressor to Mpeg2 then authoring in DVDSP4 and the outcome was exactly the same. I find it hard to believe that im the only person with this problem??? If i create a project in motion with no DV footage it plays fine so theres a problem with motion layering over DV i guess. This pretty much renders motion useless for my needs. Incidentally the DVD's play ok on a Mac/PC, the problem is on Televisions. I've tried three Tv's and they're all the same aaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Can anyome help?

Hi Chris, thanks for the prompt reply. I've followed your advice, i had to cheat of course. I set up my camcorder as a DV out device and then sent an S-Video to the TV. Now i can see the offending footage before i author. As you predicted the FCP footage is also affected by the motion titles, so that eliminates DVD authoring as the culprit. What a waste of DVD's. So my problem now is that Motion effects are causing the FCP footage to flicker. I have both apps set to Lower field dominance and pal 720 x 576. I cant work out where im going wrong.
Regards

FCP, JVC HD250 Camera. HELP

I just purchased the JVC HD 250 camera and cannot get any signal into FCP. I need to have a live monitor in the studio and the ability to capture the shots in the edit bay at the same time. I have tried every configuration I can think of on the camera/fcp to accomplish this. jvc has not responded to my request for help and I thought I might be able to get some insight here.

The camera has an SDI output that is either SDI or HD-SDI depending on camera settings. also 1 other spigot is timecode depending on how a switch is selected on the side of the camera,can't remember what the other selection is. With the I/O you'll need to come in standard def SDI. hopefully your run isn't over 300' or you'll likely need a DA. I've brought stuff in using the client's camera in standard def direct to a DVCPro 50 deck and also captured other material to dvcPro HD and direct w/o TC into the Kona card in HD. check the downconvert settings to see how you get SD-SDI out. you may need to activate the spigot in the menu

FCP MINI MAC RENDER FARM HELP/ADVICE

A little help from someone who may know - have been getting advice from a myraid of people here in L.A. - even people in the Apple store - and living here in L.A. it seems many answer without really knowing - and - I have searched a bit here on the forums - as well as the web - and am getting very conflicting reports...
We are looking to increase renter times while editing in FCP HD - using plugins such as twixter and such - and - the render times are killing us - even cutting the time from 2 hours down to 1 and half hours would help - we are under a time crunch as our movie is due finished by the 15th of Jan - and - we have to use these effects - so - anyway - we were told that a cheap way of doing this was to buy some mini macs and farm them into the G5 and it would help.
Yet - I see where Patrick has posted a time ago that this would not work as the FCP will not allow.
Before we drop 2 grand on the mini's - anyone have any info that would help guide us.
The people at the Apple store seem to feel it would be no problem at all... but we are nervous.
Thank you for any help or links that could help us - and - or - guide us in how to set this up.
Thank you - Ward.

Yeah, that workflow isn't so great if you have to figure a cut out in a VFX app, then throw it back into your editing system, only to discover it doesn't really work. Backwards and forwards between apps...ugh. Editing is about the discovery process, and stepping out to other apps takes you away, not only from your dailies, but from the context. If you can pull this off in FCP, you'll be the better for it.
One question - are you also applying effects other than just Twixtor to these clips? If so, once you have them set as you like them, turn them off until you get the Twixtor effect right - then turn 'em back on again for a final render.
Another question - what are your media and render settings? What rez are we talking about here? Have you set Render rez to Precision YUV?
Yes, the mini will help, there's no denying, but it is a slower system, with a slower system drive, a slower memory bus, and you're gonna have to whack some more RAM in there - at least a Gig anyway. That's $599+$122. Plus the FCP licence (uhhhh....$1299) and a Twixtor render licence ($65 or $119 depending on Regular or Pro version). So it's over two grand already, and you don't have a monitor as well as that it's really not going to be an amazing performer. If you're gonna spend money, get some better hardware - maybe an iMac?
I think you should divide and conquer - move your non-FX 'story' editorial only onto the slowest system, and keep cutting - presumably you still have those battles too, as you're a month out on the movie. Assign someone else to the FX work on the G5. Spend all day setting up sequences, doing the best you can to guess that it's right - but without rendering. Render like crazed weasels overnight. Check the renders and make your best estimates at fixes fix in the morning - but do not render again. Put those sequences aside until later, and move on to new sequences, set the FX up, and again at night leave the beasts to render. Within a day or two you'll start honing in on the FX, then start locking them one by one. Pass back fully rendered clips to the story editing system, and bingo.
One final thought - but it's total shot in the dark. I'm guessing that if you had extremely low rez material, the effect would render even faster. Perhaps if you re-encoded some of your relevant dailes but at a MUCH lower rez, then worked out the Twixtor effect on that material, it would render faster? I don't know the answer as I've never done this on FCP, but on an Inferno or other VFX app, this is a very common way to massively speed up your workflow. When you have the effect right, you just copy the filter and apply it to the full-rez sequence. Might be worth testing to see if that helps?

FCP to NTSC monitor solution help required

Greetings,
Please forgive me, this is my first foray into owning a Mac.
I am getting started with Final Cut Pro, and am looking for a good way to capture analog sources, and output my FCP timeline to an NTSC monitor. My monitor takes RGB and component, and I would like to use one of those if possible.
I have looked into the AJA Kona cards, and they seem a little too robust for my needs. I won't be capturing HD SDI any time soon. The blackmagic solutions seemed interesting, the Decklink SP looked good, and the Intensity looked OK too, but I haven't seen too much talk on them. Are their any other solutions people are using to monitor their timelines? Currently I am just working with plain old DV.
Thanks so much for your advice,
David

The Intensity Pro may be just right for you with your Mac Pro. Very reasonably priced. I have the HDMI only Intensity card and it is nice. Not sure of all connections packaged with the Pro model, but good stuff. Intel units only for this product.
AJA is an awesome company and great products. I have the LHe and the tech support is the best. Like anything you do get what you pay for.
Good Luck

FCP won't launch! Help!

Using FCP 5.0.4 and it was working fine this morning but won't launch this evening. I just updated to the latest OS, FCP, QT etc and still no luck. The program starts it's launch sequence and just disappears part way through (right aroung the rt settings)
Everything has been rock-solid up until now...any ideas why this would happen?
Drew

Trash the FCP plist file in the user preferences folder for FCP.
Repair permissions before and after installing the latest pro apps update either from software updater or from Apple's download site.

Constant FCP v7 crashes. Need help deciphering error codes

Workflow has crawled to a halt today with several FCP crashes. Below is the error message. Running a MacPro w/dual Xeon procs, 16GB RAM, Snow Leopard.
I've done the basics such as deleting FCP prefs, zapping PRAM, verifying disks/repairing permissions, performing an FS check and discarding render files.
Anyone have some ideas on a fix? Reinstalling the app is next on the list but I'm hoping to avoid that.

Exporting different FPS of one clip FCP and compressor dropping frames HELP

Hi all I'm posting this because I have no Idea what I'm doing wrong I'm trying to export my HD file from FCP as a quicktime H264 in 30fps and 24p of the same file. My client needs it in quicktime format but when I export in both FCP using quicktime conversion and compressor the fps playback is 12fps...8fps?. I've exported before not as quicktime with no problem. NTSC 29.97 version and PAL 25p of the same file in quicktime exported with no problem but the HD 1080 at 30fps and 24p wont work. Any advise or suggestions would be great....

Oh sorry, I've digitized my file from HD mini DV cam with FCP. I captured as HDV 30fps from the camera to FCP. I had no problems exporting with Apple HDV codec into different size and frame rates but trying to do the quicktime H264 at 30fps and 24p 1920x1080 is not working frames are dropping I do the same settings in compressor and still doesn't work.

I still have to render in FCP even after mpeg streamclip - help

I am using some footage from an app on iPhone 4 that is 480x360. Even after plugging this footage through Mpeg Streamclip, I cannot use it without having to render in FCP every single time I move it on the timeline. Someone save me from killing myself, please lol.

epodos wrote:
Sorry, yes. I did that step. It never asks me to conform - I can just put anything in any sequence and nothing ever pops up to ask me.
Then you have this option switched of in your Preferences. Switch it on, to make it happen. And notice it will only happen on NEW sequences. (What version of FCP are you using by the way?
As long as your sequence settings don't match nothing will ever work.
Switch it ON.
Go to User Preferences in FCP, and make sure you have this in the Editing tab:
Also, the program won't allow me to change the frame rate to that odd number. For some reason the framerates in different clips put through Streamclip range from 69.93, 70.93, 71.93, etc - so odd.
In MPEG streamclip fill in a framerate. I think you did leave it blanco. Fill all in like this:
Click images to see them full screen. Notice the Framerate box.
Then import that in FCP.
If you fixed the User Preferences, tehn dropping the footage into a new sequence would give you the dialog.
If that doesn't happen open the sequence settings. In the lower left corner choose Load Sequence Preset and choose the appropriate setting. It should look like this:
Now, does that work?
