FCP X and 'error 50'

Hi, I made a 1 minute business clip and uploaded into YouTube. After receiving the customers 'go ahead', I made some changes and added the customers logo in 'jpg' in the primary storyline. But halfway uploading into YouTube I got the 'error 50' message. After deleting the 'jpg' logo I could upload again. By the way, more 'jpg' s are in the clip but then in the secondary timeline. Any ideas how to solve this issue with the 'jpg' ?
Regards, Geer

weird.
The first thing I'd probably try is converting the jpg to a different file format. You can use FCPX to export a still image and then re-import it in.
If you want to move the jpg off the primary storyling you can "lift" it from the storyline by using command-option-up arrow. FCPX will replace it with a gap clip and make the jpg clip a connected clip. So, I guess that's worth a try too.
Finally, I'd try deleting all render files from both the event and project, and let FCPX re-render everything. You do that by selecting the Event/Project and going to the File menu, and choosing "Delete Render Files..." Make sure to select ALL and not just unused.

Can you explain in detail what you did?

I am trying to capture from Sony HDV 1080i VTR FCP giving an error of not able to initialize

i am trying to capture from Sony HDV 1080i VTR FCP giving an error of not able to initialize. I am not able to capture the content in DV mode. i am using a Firewire 800 to 400 converter and a 6 pin firewire cable to connect to the SonyHDV VTR. Please suggest me how do i do this.

The 800-400 converter plugs have proved a problem for this. What version of the software are you using. It sounds like an older version of FCP, if so you should ask your question on the Final Cut Studio forum.

Graphics render bug in FCP 6 and 7 - Dare to prove me wrong?

I have an issue with an HD video that contains red and purple text and graphics in the edit. I've looked for an answer tirelessly online, with friends, and through trial and error for a good 7 hours before giving up. Here's the deal,
Sequence settings: HD 1440x1080 16:9, 23.98, HDV 1080p24 for editing the canon7d footage that came in - this however doesn't matter because i tested with every setting imaginable including animation raw and ended up with the same results for the graphics problem I'm having (kind of unrelated to the actual footage).
I need to output this 9 minute edit I have to an HD file 1280x720 for youtube upload. So, it has to be under 2gb (youtube's limit) but for client purposes, it needs to be crisp and great looking as you would imagine.
I have a bunch of PSDs, each show a different line drawing of a brush. For each one, the line is a different color. For any of the colors that aren't red or purple, they render crisp and wonderful in final cut pro over top the video. However, the graphics that have the lines that are red or purple, come out pixelated and blurry no matter how i try to render them. The only solution that worked was to render and output them with the animation codec. ProRes HQ worked too but not as well. However, this makes a file way too big. Whenever I went from animation to h264 or from FCP to h264, or any other web friendly format, graphics come out way pixelated. It makes me frustrated as to why all the graphics that were exactly the same except not red or purple came out perfectly crisp. Also, why is animation codec the only codec out there (besides uncompressed obviously) that will create clean edges in these red/purple graphics?
Conclusion: Found that reds and purples are the only colors that seem to be effected when rendering the graphics. Everything else comes out nicely. Animation and pro res codecs aside, any codec making the video small enough for the web (less than 2gb) resulted in the problem of pixelation with the red and purple graphics. Based on extensive research I did online, I was surprised not to find many people posting about the exact same problem. For the issues I did find that seemed related, people concurred that HD nor regular DV video do a good job rendering bright reds or variations of red. Because I found no solutions online or from all the things I tried in the list below
-re-rendered the PSD's in Final cut pro with variation of sequence setting to see if that would make any difference - it didn't. Tried all kinds of different settings in export for h264, keyframes, max quality, etc. no luck.
-tried rendering to "Animation/uncompressed" as far through the process as possible. For instance, I outputted a perfectly crisp "Animation" file that was perfect looking. As soon as I re-exported to h264, mpeg4, or sorenson, or any other codec dropping the file size down, all results returned pixelated results for the reds and purple graphics.
-made sure photoshop settings were all good, even copied and pasted psd into new 1920x1080 project, played with DPI up to 300 to see if it did anything, saved as different formats TIFF, png, eps, layers, flattened, 8-bit, 24-bit, 36-bit, etc., none of the formats worked correctly.
-outputted my own purple and red graphics and text and rendered in final cut to see if the file had anything to do with it. same problem with my red and purple graphics and text.
-Tried adding slight moving grain to the graphic in Final cut to try and trick FCP to thinking it was a video instead of a graphic and therefore render it smoothly.
-consulted with 2 other video editors/media experts, ended up frustrating them as well (and hurting their ego a little since they were sure they could figure it out)
-Ran the shot and graphic through after effects and premiere pro separately (different video programs) to see if final cut pro was causing the problem, same problem with those programs.
-tried rendering on a different mac, still the same.
-Actually upgraded my final cut pro version to the new version (now Final cut studio 3). Ran tests on new version of final cut pro, same exact problem.
-added black edge to purple graphics to see if that did anything different to the rendering. Didn't help
-Changed the hue of the graphic to anything other than red or purple. Wouldn't you know...That fixed it.
Here is a link to the Animation Output of a half second of the edit with a sample red graphic crisp as can be for you to test (12.7mb) -

Here is a link to view screenshots before and after to show you what rendering does to the graphics.
http://www.robinsonhope.com/downloads/makeup_ss.jpg
In case you'd like to try and find a solution, please download the link to the HD animation half-second clip and output to h264 or any other web friendly codec that would show these red graphics clean and not blurry and pixelated. Other rule is after doing the math, a 9 minute video with the compression you choose would need to be under 2gb. This shouldn't be too much of a problem because even a 1280x720 h264 at max quality for a 9min video is still under 2gb.
The first person to show me that you are truly a FCP guru and can solve this, post a link of your successful solution, I will praise you as genius all over this forum. I will also be eternally grateful. Live in LA? I'll also buy you dinner, Haha. But seriously...

Welcome to this forum,
Sorry to hear you so struggling with this issue.
And I doubt whether I can solve this for you, but I can say a few things.
The title of this thread is:
Graphics render bug in FCP 6 and 7 - Dare to prove me wrong?
I'll prove you are wrong. Or actually you've already proved yourself wrong in your post:
-Ran the shot and graphic through after effects and premiere pro separately (different video programs) to see if final cut pro was causing the problem, same problem with those programs.
Seams that I try to annoy you, but I'm not. It's not a joke. The fact that other applications can't handle it as well AND the fact that Animation Codec (Which is pretty lostless) does not have this problem, tells you that the problem is likely the low compression you want OR the footage itself. And I dare say it's BOTH.
I downloaded your testfile and have opened it in FCP and I can see in the Vectorscope that your color Red is too hot.
[Click here|http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz356/rienkL/Screenshot2010-04-02at1324 20.png] to see the vectorscope of your picture?
You also see the small boxes (clockwise)
Red, Magenta, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow. The signal of your picture should stay somewhere between those boxes. You should read [this article|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_scopes.html] (two third on the page) about the vectorscope. Also has a picture with the range to be broadcast safe.
So back to your picture and your vectorscope. You'll see that just along the right side of the R in the vectorscope there's a peak which goes way out of the range. And that's exactly the color of your graphic.
I tried isolating that color, reducing the saturation, and then do an export, but that failed. You should adjust that within the PSD's first and then see how exporting goes.
So now you are thinking: My client wants his own colors! Sure he does. But those colors were probably designed for print, which does have another colorrange. Simple technical story. You're bound to specific saturation. Going over that means troubles....
And I'm not claiming that your problem will be solved when you adjust this. It is still possible that h264 just doesn't like red too much. Maybe that's on purpose. Our eyes are most less sensitive to red, so that gives the compressor some extra room to compress in the reds (Don't know if this is what compression developers do; just thinking out loud, just an idea...)
Hope this helps at least a little.

I recently downloaded FCP X and now FCP 7 won't open, any ideas why?

All my projects are in FCP 7 but I am about to start usiing FCP X. Since I downloaded FCP X I am unable to open 7 from
Applications or XML Files, please help.

Hi Russ,
I've tried all 3 of the instructions from the link you sent me. So I've uninstalled FCP X and Motion 3 times and re-downloaded it 3 times and the same thing happens with FCP 7.
It boots up, right up until the part when the windows open on screen and then closes without leaving an error message.
FCP X works fine... Unfortunately I have loads of projects on 7 that I need to complete before an(almost) complete transfer to X.
Anny more ideas would be gratefully received
Regards
Steve

Chris,
I have a Matrox MXO2 Mini, and I've experienced crashes with Final Cut Pro X, Share > Export Movie that were caused by a specific Matrox QuickTime component installed on my Mac. Your crashes may be caused by a different third-party QuickTime component, but here's what I did. You may use this as a guide to see if the same or different QuickTime component on your system could be causing the crashes.
Here's what I did to eliminate the crashes:
1. Go to /Library/QuickTime
2. Find the com.matrox.vpg.AvcCodec.component file
3. If it exists, then move it to a different folder like your Desktop
4. Restart Final Cut Pro X
5. Try Share > Export Movie
6. If it still crashes, try dragging out other third-party QuickTime components that you see in /Library/QuickTime
It took me a few tries to determine exactly which QuickTime component was causing the crashes. You may have additional components in your /Library/QuickTime folder that are causing your crashes. That means that you may need to drag more component files out from the /Library/QuickTime folder to your Desktop until the crashes stop. Once the crashes stop, you can drag component files back into the /Library/QuickTime folder until the crashes start again. This process is a bit of trial and error, but I was able to fix my own problem with a bit of persistence.
I was experiencing crashes 100% of the time, but now that I removed the offending QuickTime component, I get 100% success rate when doing Share > Export Movie.
Good luck!

How do I put a FCP project and all it's P2 card files onto a different hardrive?

I have a large project that I will not be working on for some time. I want to transfer all the files and project to a different drive, what is the best way to do this? I have studied media manager but am not quite sure if i understand it completely. Any help would be appreciated.
Catherine

Thanks this is all clear now and thanks for heads up on stills.
A more pressing problem.... I have a 2 T backup hardrive. recently giving a message that it is full.
I have a lot of HD P2 footage on my internal hardrives, but when I "get info" on each of my two drives that hold my FCP projects and i photo, it only adds up to 1 Terbyte.
I went into time machine to delete old backups to Jan. 2012. and it deleted everything up until the day of deleting, not what I wanted.
There is some error ocurring...obviously brought on by me not having a full knowledge of the time machine sysytem, although it seems on tutorials to be supremely straight forward and simple.
I would like to delete all back ups and start from scratch in an effort to solve the " my machine is backing up all day long syndrome." Can you offer any advice or trouble shooting info on this problem.
I did read that if time machine detects a problem or error it will sometimes make a new "complete" back up of all content rather than just add changes on content.
Any insites would be welcome.

Unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie, camera not recognized.

I am unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie.
I have been dealing with this problem for quite a while now, and I think I have tried everything posted on these forums regarding this issue. I have been to the Quicktime, iMovie, and this FCP forum looking for the solution. Hopefully someone has a suggestion that I have missed or have not tried yet. I have a Powerbook G4 running OSX Tiger 10.4. I am running Quicktime 7.04, and FCP 4.5.
My problem is this… I am unable to capture from my Canon ZR-200 Mini DV camera, using Final Cut Pro, iMovie and also Quicktime. FCP says no camera recognized. iMovie says no camera attached, and Quicktime says no recording device found. In FCP, I am using the Firewire Basic setting, and NTSC DV settings. I have captured in FCP with the same camera several times in the past. I think the problem started when I upgraded to OSX 10.4, or one of the Quicktime upgrades.
Here are the details…
- Camera is connect via Firewire. I have tried the built in ports, as well as a Firewire Carbus card.
- OSX recognizes the Canon ZR-200 in the System Profiler, so I know the computer sees the camera.
- I have tried the camera on a Windows XP machine, and capture works perfectly, so I know the camera is functioning properly in VTR mode.
- Deleted my FCP pref’s using FCP Rescue.
- Deleted the Quicktime receipts, and re-installed Quicktime 7.04
- Reverted back to Quicktime 7.01
- Set the audio to 44.1 in the the Audio MIDI setup in the Utilities folder
- Tried the “GarageBand” fix, opening the programing, playing a few notes and closing.
- I have installed Quicktime using the program “Yank” to completely delete Quicktime and re-install.
I may have tried more solutions, but these are the fixes that I can recall.
If anyone has any others suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
Brent

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"
The files are not corrupt. The problem is occurring with all DMGs that are apparently formatted in MS-DOS FAT16. No the file will not mount with Disk utility or any other disk mounter programs I have found.
This is now the second time this occurred and now effects my MBP and my iMac. First time i spent days with Apple support and the only solution was ultimately back up the data, reformat the HD, start over from scratch and reload everything. That lasted about a month before the problem resurfaced and is now an issue on both iMac and MBP.
I tried to identify all the programs I installed immediately before the error, as I am convinced it is the result of a software conflict.
Recent programs includes:
1) upgrading from Parallels 5.5 to 6.0 on both machines.
2) using an HP secure II usb drive and setting up a secure disk.
3) installing new itunes 10
4) new update to Flip For Mac.
The files affected are downloaded dmgs, including personal brain and google earth, both which are formatted in FAT16.
Any help or thoughts? Apple has now spent hours trying and they say i now have to reformat and wipe and start over. That is unacceptable and based on pasted experience the problem is likely to repeat itself. having to wipe and rebuild a HD ever month is not an solution. i need to fid the root problem.
In the meantime, anyone got a real solution on how to extract the data for a DMG using a different method?

Where you able to find the solution, i am having the same problem, all was fine till i install some programs only same one i saw did we both did was flip4mac i uninstalled it but the problem is still there, i also restored and erased the hardrive but im not up to doing that all over again. If you found anything out let me know i would greatly appreciate it

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.

If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,
Mario
