FCP X and Importing Media problems

I currently have the Macbook Pro Retina (running Mountain Lion), A Sony HDR-PJ10e Camcorder and Final Cut Pro X and am having increasing problems trying to import the video shot on the camcorder.
Prior to installing ML, the camcorder would be recognised within FCP, but refused to recognise any of the footage, indeed if I tried to import the MTS files direct, they are greyed out which I have previously read is a known issue of sorts and that only import from camera can be used (but is not working in this case)
I have tried encoding the MTS files using Adobe Media Encoder, i have tried various formats but the only only that FCP will recognise is quicktime MOV files.
What can possibly be causing this problem?
I should add that the footage is shot in 1080p, but even down converted to an MPEG2 file (be that .mpg or the split .m2v and wav files) FCP still refuses to recognize these as a valid format as they are greyed out when trying to "import files"
Any help would be appreciated but I have to confess to being a relative novice to all things mac.

Prior to upgrading to ML, the camcorder was recognised but refused to import anything using the method you describe (I already tried that). I was able to make an archive from the camcorder but it will not even open that archive to iport anything.
Unfortunately, since the upgrade to ML when the camcorder connects to the computer, the PMB software crashes. The camcorder is still available in Finder after pmb has crashed, but it is no longer recognised in FCP as it was prior to the upgrade to ML.
The camcorder has internal memory and the ability to use a card, but everything is currently stored on the internal memory, everything is in the exact same format, frame rates etc...

Upload FCP Projects and Associated Media to a Production

Hi,
This sounds very silly but I`m really disappointed and can`t figured out how to do it.
Is there a way to upload a *.fcp project and associate NOT ONLY the project but ALSO the Media that this project contains?
In other words, if I upload a FCP project and choose a Production to be associated the production is created but ONLY the FCP Project Asset is inside this production, not the whole medias.
A scan production (for the FCP file) also doesn`t work.
What works is uploading all media and associating to a production or do a Scan production into a directory with medias. But my FCP and Medias are in distinct places and a thought that FCP project could help me cleaning the Media directories (by uploading the project and after all medias are catalogued archiving them, so the rest in directories are useless).
The work around would be:
1- to do a Scan Production in the Media files and after that uploading a FCP project associating with that Production, but as I`ve said I can`t just scan the entire Media as it`s very messy and with this way I could be guaranteed that my important assets are catalogued (and archived) and the left ones in the messy directories could be quick filtered to exclusion and cleaning without worries.
2- to upload a FCP and associate to a production and after that manually move fcp associated assets to this production (this almost impossible because the limitation of 200 assets per page).
Can some one propose a better way?
Regards

No, you are correct, but unfortunately these are Elements (inside the FCP project) and not real Assets. So for instance, if you fill in the annotations on the Asset it will not show on the Elements (inside FCP projects) and vice-versa. You can`t do a lot of other things as well with elements as you can with assets.
So I would like to have a Production with all media created automatically when a FCP project is uploaded (or scanned).
Regards

Export and import, same problem in 08 as in 07!

I am so fed up and frustrated with this problems in iPhoto, I had exactly the same thing in iPhoto´07, and on an other installation:
When I import pictures from a folder on my HD, it imports the pictures, but it NEVER finishes the import-process! It goes on and on forever. So I have to terminate iPhoto and restart. The pictures are then imported, but the "Last import" folder is not updated. And I don´t know what harm this does to the library. Anyone else with this problem?
I also cannot export. It exports up to ca 370 pictures, and then I get this message "cannot create folder .....".
I have no iPhoto plugins. A new fresh plain installation, plenty diskspace and 2 GB ram
I removed iPhoto and then reinstalled - didn´t help
I did repair disk/permissions, didn´t help
I rebuilded the database, didn´t help.
My guess is this is a bug in iPhoto, when will Apple fix this!

Sitara:
Boot into Safe Mode and try to import. If it works then there's something amiss with your primary account. It may be another preference that iPhoto interacts with. To see if that's the case do the following:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
If the import problem persists in the Safe Mode, I suggest you reinstall the 10.4.10 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Export FCP project and linked media assets

Sorry everyone, I know this is an easy question but I have searched for the answer and am still very confused. I want to save my FCP project and just the appropriate used media assets in one place so I can send a condensed version of my entire project to someone to further edit. I know there is an easy way to do this because I have done this before, but I can't remember.
I was confused because I found a number of answers but some of them talked about how afterwards the media files will no longer be able to be tracked by the Final Cut Server? This is what scared me.

Use FCP's Media Manager to duplicate the project media. Be sure to include handles if needed.

Why does my project and imported media in browser missing frames?

Hello!!!
I have been using Final Cut Pro for about 6 months now and loved everything about it! However, since I have updated my software system and app itself I have been experiencing "missing frames" during playback and in the clip itself in my event browser. I have tried downloading Preference Manager to resolve the problem and it still doesnt help. What is the problem? Why does this happen? and what can I do? Is it an import setting? or maybe a recording setting on my camera.
Please a solution would be greatly appreciated as I have deadlines to make and I can't fluently edit my projects.
Additional info: when I export a file that misses frames during playback it is smooth and nothing seems wrong.
Thanks guys!!!

Some things to check:
Your media drive should have 15-20% free space. Does it after your clean up?
What kind of connection…Thunderbolt and USB3?
Is quality set to Better Performance?
If the answers to all of the above are yes, and you're still having problems, download and run one of the speed tests from ALA or Blackmagic.
Create proxy media and edit with Proxy, (Don't forget to change the setting back to Original/Optimized before you export.)

Please help no idea what to do
is it the burner problem

Guy,
Try these two things:
1) Go to the "Go" menu and click on Utilities.
Open Disk Utility.
Select your hard drive and click "repair permissions."
Close/quit Disk Utility.
2) Click (once) on your CD or DVD.
Go to the "File" menu and click on Get Information
Scroll down to Ownership and Permissions
Change to "read and write"
You will need to put in your password.
Beyond these things, I am not completely sure what you are trying to do. Write to a CD-RW? If so, you will need to use Disk Utility to erase it first.

FCP 7 and Lion reconnecting problems

I still haven't heard any comment from Apple on this. I feel caught in the middle here, as an editor. I had to get Avid Media Composer 6 because everyone I work for seems to be running away from Apple now that they've released FCPX. To install the latest version of Media Composer, I had to upgrade to Lion. I was told FCP7 would still work on Lion but I'm having all sorts of issues, beginning with problems reconnecting media.
Does anyone know if Apple is going to release some fixes for Studio 3 so it does work with Lion as advertised. Apple is behaving strangely, or really, poorly these days. It's one thing to leave old apps and hardware behind as you move forward, but when you start leaving your customers in bad situations, that's not good. Please Apple. Communicate with us on this. I'm shocked really. I understood FCP7 had about a 50% marketshare. Why drop that ball?
I don't like Lion that much so far either. Not happy.

Did you do a clean installation of Lion or did you install it over your existing OSX 10.6 and all your apps?
If you did an overwrite install, you may be dealing with all the problems you had in 10.6 but didn't really know about because they had not risen to the level of noticable. Upgrading an OS can break these incipient issues.
A number of people are running FCS3 on 10.7 without a host of issues.
My suggestion (painful as it may sound) is to get a new hard drive for your MacPro and do a clean installation of 10.7 on it then install FCS and your other apps from the original disks. My guess is a number of issues will be cleaned up.
Good luck.

Moving projects and imported media from computer to EHD

Hello all
I have just recently finished a project in FCPX and all the media is stored on my Macs hard drive. I am wanting to move this project to my EHD, so its not taking up so much space on my computers HD. But in doing so i also want to be able to go back and edit the project at anytime. Can anyone help me out on how to move everything over. I tried to copy the project folder itself but says that the file volume is to small to copy over.
Thanks

Tom,
When I duplicate the project to a properly formatted EHD as you have suggested, fcpx accurately creates duplicate event and project files on the EHD, however it also creates an exact duplicate event in the event library i.e. with the identical name and contents as ther original - 2 exact event files. Is this normal?

Eth0 missing, Xorg won't start, and removable media problems

When I got back from vacation last night, I turned on my computer and several problems arose. I tried starting X with startx like I usually do but it wouldn't come up. I tried opening elinks to google the problem only to find that the internet wouldn't work. A quick ifconfig showed that eth0 was missing.
I googled the problem with my netbook and found this thread. It sounds like the OP couldn't see eth0 right after he installed Arch Linux, but eth0 worked fine for me about 10 days ago. Also, my motherboard is an Asus M2A-VM rather than a P8P67. Nonetheless, I copied the driver he linked to to a flash drive. But when I plugged the flash drive into my desktop, it didn't show up in /dev/. In fact only two of the thee hard drives I have installed showed up. The two that show up are SATA and the one that doesn't is an IDE. Not to mention the flash drive that didn't show up.
For further testing I booted an old Ubuntu Jaunty live CD I found laying around. In Ubuntu eth0 does show up. As for the hard drives, it looks the same as it does in Arch Linux.
I think I may possibly have a bad motherboard due to devices not showing up in /dev/, but I want to be completely sure. I want to get a new computer either way but for now I want to focus on at least getting eth0 and X working again. Any ideas on how I can get that driver over to my desktop or how I can get X started?

No, I didn't follow the beginners install guide. I just installed Arch Linux then installed the packages that I wanted.

Pro Tools files imported to FCP X causing QuickTime movie problem

Well 2 days later and hours on the phone with Apple tech support Senior Advisors, and problem still not solved. HELP.
Everything works fine in FCP X, but when I create the QuickTime movie, it is way out of sync (by many seconds).
We have isolated the problem to audio files that I am exporting to Pro Tools, processing, and then importing back into FCP X. I can create a QuickTime movie with the original video/audio and it is fine.
Information
The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
I simply provide this FYI. As I said earlier, the original video works fine and the resulting QuickTime movie works fine. So the original files imported into the FCP project are not the problem.
The creation of the problem audio occurs as follows:
- Detach the original audio from the original video, and export
- Import this audio into a 48.0 kHz/16-bit Pro Tools HD session and EQ/limit the audio
- Import the resulting audio into FCP X (exact same length file, audio waveforms aligned with the original audio).
This audio works fine in FCP. It is in sync with the video, everything looks great.
I ran Pro Tools at 16-bits because a senior advisor told me FCP runs at 16-bits but does not convert imported stand-alone audio (as opposed to combined video/audio) to 16-bits; thus the Pro Tools session had to be at 16-bits. I changed from 24-bits to 16-bits, and this didn't solve the problem. (FYI, when Pro Tools imports the original audio exported from FCP, it says the audio is 24-bits, not 16-bits).
What is the problem?
The basic question is why does this audio cause QuickTime a problem?
Something is going on in the conversion to the QT movie. In FCP X, I don't have a way to play with the conversion variables except to set "Video and Audio" and "Use current settings" (which is ProRes 422).
The only difference I see between the original audio and the Pro Tools audio is that the original audio is stereo and Pro Tools works with dual mono files (L & R). The mono files work fine in FCP and I can't imagine why QT would have a problem with these, but I haven't tried converting the files to stereo before importing into FCP.
I should also mention that I selected the stabilization and roll correction algorithms in FCP. I assume these don't create problems in QT. I mention this because I didn't use them when I tested making a QT movie with the original video/audio files.
FCP and Pro Tools are used together all the time to do exactly what I am doing......improve the sound of the original audio. They are the premier video and audio professional programs. Of course, the final product is often not a QuickTime movie, but many times it is a QT movie.
What the heck is going on???
HELP.

(1) It is immediately out of sync. It even appears to be speeded up to me initially, but this is subjective. But it is clearly out of sync throughout, not a gradual drift.
(2) When I create the audio files in the Pro Tools session, the files are automatically stored in the audio folder of the Pro Tools session. So I don't actually have to go through an export process. I just close the Pro Tools session, then open FCP X and import the audio from the Pro Tools folder.
I'm not sure what additional specifications you seek, other than:
- wav files
- sample rate = 48 kHz
- Bit rate = 16-bits (and earlier I used 24-bits)
- Files are dual mono, rather than stereo (name_01.L.wav, name_01.R.wav). As I mentioned above, I have not yet tried converting these to stereo before importing into FCP, to see if dual mono causes an issue with QT. It does not cause a problem in FCP. I will try this today if we don't solve the problem.
(3) I can upload a portion of the audio to a server and send you a link to the file so you can download it. Is there a way to private message on the forum so I can get an email address to send you the link?
(4) The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48 kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
The FCP Project was set up at:
- Starting time code - 01.00.00.00
- Format - 1080p
- Resolution - 1920 x 1080
- Frame rate - 29.97p
- Audio channels - stereo
- Sample rate - 48 kHz
- Rendering format - Apple ProRes 422

Final Cut Pro X won't import media or create new projects?

I have tried restarting my computer, updating softwares, and deleting layouts etc. I was using FCPX today, but after I deleted all my projects and files from the program (like I do when I want to clean it up), it showed "create a new project" and "Import Media" or something along those lines. When I click on them (or try from other routes) they either do nothing or work a little and then do nothing, but never actually compeletly work. Please help!

Have you tried trashing the preferences with
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

Fcp x 10.0.9 I can't select in and out points while importing media, and scrubber won't work in event browser.

I have two problems, and I have already un installed and reinstalled FCP X, and still have the issues.
1) In the import media window I can no longer select my in and out points to import. Pressing the "I" and "O" keys, I just get the audible error beep.
2) in the event browser I can select the in and out points, but it will no longer scrub through the clip with the cursor.
I do have OSX Mavericks installed, but the issue was prior to the install.

Tom, perhaps I used the wrong terminology, skimming not scrubbing. In the event browser on the thumbnails of my clips, I recall being able to skim to a point and then select the in and out points. It apparently is solved. I guess the reinstall fixed it. Well like taking your car to a mechanic its not making the clicking sound now.
As far as the import. I think by your response you solved the problem. I can select the in and out point when I import from a camera or my iphone, but I did not realize you could not select the in and out points from a video file already on my hard drive.
I appreciate your responce, and have a great day.

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...
I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.
I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Can't import Media into FCP X

In the last week or two when I try to import media into FCP X I end up with a very dark and locked import screen. The only way I can recover is to force quit FCP X. It doesn't always happen but it is getting more and more frequent.
I have not updated to Marverik and I'm running the latest version of FCP X on the same iMac I have used since installation.
Any suggestions beacuse it really is starting to beome very, very frustrating.
Thanks

They system is hanging up, waiting on some command to finish, which is not able to. So let's look at ways to fix this. Becasue you never want to do an upgrade to fix problems. Only upgrade a proerly working system. Otherwise, you may just be hauling old problems into a new envoronment, and making things worse. I've seen it a lot over the years.
First, verify that all of your drives have at least 15% of their total capacity as free space. Not enough free space on any dirve can cause similar odd behaviors.
Second, you need to do some housee cleaning. Start by downloading and running the free application "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com). Use it to trash the FCPX preference files. It is easy and safe to you. None of your media or projects will be touched. After that, run Disk Utility to "Repair" all of your drives (ignore "Verify", total waste of time).
If none of that helps, I'd recommand you download the free application "FCS Remover" from Digital Rebellion. Use it to uninstall FCPX. Some folks say to just move the app from the Applications folder to the Trash. That leaves a bunch of other files hanging around that could be bad. Use this app. Once you've uninstalled FCPX, launch the App Store, go to the Purchases section, and FCPX will have an "Install" button. Reinstall a fresh copy, see if that helps.

Problems importing media

Is anyone experiencing problems importing media? I'm trying to import to a project but FCP is making it difficult to locate my files, my stuff isn't organized, and EVERYTHING is being loaded from my Hard drive, my external hard drive, EVERYTHING, so it's difficult to locate which file i'm exactly looking for.

I believe today's OS update (for the computer, not the phone) has some Apeture fixes in it - have you downloaded that update and tried again?
