FCP X does not recognize my sony dsr-11.

Just upgraded to final cut pro x and having my first problem. Trying to edit and view video on an external video monitor and the a/v out will not recognize my deck. So when all else fails I go to FCP X help and find that it requires a third party video interface hardware/software. So has anyone encountered the same problem and what was your resolution. I am curious to know which third party video interface hardware/software you selected. Thanks in advance. Liza

Not sure what "DC timeline" is but what I am looking for is just the same playback I was able to get before I upgraded to FCP X. I will look into the Matrox MXO2 just the same.
I contacted Apple support and they gave me the following link:
The VIDEO I/O Section on this link will provide information about video output monitoring hardware. AJA, Atomos, Blackmagic Design and Matrox:

Thanks again for your input!

FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk

FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk.
I upgraded from an i5 to an i7 15" MBP and restored my files using my time machine backup. All seemed to go ok, except I had to use the migration assistant because on the initial boot the MAC didn't recognize the backup database on the USB device. MAybe this is a hint.
Since when I start FCPX it too cannot finnd the project or event directories.
Before my upgrade, I had a choice of files either on the Macintosh disk or the 2TB USB disk.
Now only files on the Macintosh are accessible to FCPX. The USB drive is visible under events and project but it finds no projects or events.
Please help if you can.
Thanks
Barry

Thanks... alas no one has responded.
I think I have the structure that you are recommending.
I have a root level directory (Final Cut Events) with the files in them.
The puzzling thing is that it used to work before the migration!.
Anyway I'm going to move the contents to the root and see what happens.
On a slightly different note...
I also posted a question about CPU utilization. Can I ask a question or two?
While rendering a short clip, I noticed burst of disk activity when the render started (likely loading the media files into ram since I have about 4Gigs available, then almost no activity while the render is happening, then more disk activity when its done.
However the cpu activity is not as high as I would have expected since rendering requires a lot of cpu.
What is your experience? I know some render is done by the GPU, but in my older i5 the CPU was about 100%, now in my i7 its about 50%.
Please look at the attached utilization for CPU and disk activity.
Thanks for any thoughts... Barry

Imovie 4 does not recognize my Sony Handycam DCR-TRV310 so I can't import.

I have used this camera before with out problems but must have been imovie 2.
The program does not recognize the camara. I have unpluged and plugged and restarted and done everything that I have read to do but still nothing. help

I have gone through the steps of this article. I am connected by firewire. I have disconected, recontected, turn on and off and restarted and nothing. I have made sure the date and time are correct. I did upload this tape from at old VHS tape of family pictures. This handycam wasn't a problem with older imovie versions and older systems 9. When I go to the sony site they only talk about connecting to a pc. When I go to apple profiler and fire wire is just says "
Fire Wire bus: Max speeed up to 400 Mb/sec" It does not recognize the camara. The only thing that I have not done is go buy a new firewire cord but I am worried that imovie can't recongnize the camara. Thanks for the help

My FCP X does not recognize my external drive and extra internal drive

I recently had to reinstall FCP X because I found a "?" in my dock when I wanted to work on a project. The app had also disappeared from the Applications file. I had taken a class at the technical college and last opened the program in the lab at school a week earlier. I had been woirking on the project which I had put on my external 3 gb drive. Now, after reinstalling FCP X, my extra internal hard drive and my external drive does not show as an option when I open the program. I cannot access my projects in the Project Browser. I had made four backups, or versions, so I continue to work on the video. Nothing show in the Project Browser. I would like to get to video which I had worked on for some time. The program had work well all semester - until now. Bummer!

It may be that the DVD drive is not getting enough electrical power. Try a powered hub, one that has a separate connection to an AC outlet.
Ciao.

FCP X does not recognize Final Cut Events folder

FCP X will always recognize both internal drives in my MacPro, named Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD2. About one third of the time it will see that both are present, but for Macintosh HD2 it will say there are no Events or Projects or anything else there for FCP X to read. After rebooting anywhere between 1 and 5 times it will recognize the Final Cut Events folder that is actually there and let me get on with my work. I have never changed anything about the folder manually or outside of FCP X, and it's not like it never recognizes the folder. It is only about a third of the time that it will not recognize it.
So I have a couple questions:
Is there any way to point FCP X to the events folder on a specific drive that it thinks is not there so I don't have to keep quitting FCP X and rebooting?
Is this a bug that others have had and Apple will address or is it something about my hard drive?
It only happens to one drive, the other internal drive is fine, and all external drives and drobos have been perfect. Could it be that the drive in question is only 5400 rpm?

If Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders are on your internal drive, make sure they are in the Movies folder. This is where they are installed by default when on the system drive it seems. If on an external or non-system drive put them at the top level of the drive.
Then (IMPORTANT), if you have them on more than one drives at the same time, Final Cut Pro X can get confused IF you have the same event names and project names in these two folders on both drives. It's probably best to put them only on one drive to troubleshoot your problems. Then, once that is resolved, you could have the Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders at the top level of two drives but with differning events and projects within them. It should have nothing to do with a drive being a 5400 rpm. The timeouts for reading drives for an application are much slower than the rotational speed of the drive. IMHO. Best wishes.

IPhoto 5 does NOT RECOGNIZE new SONY Cybershot...

Hi.
Purchased new Sony Cybershot recently... using same memory card from previous Sony.
My issue: iPhoto 5 does not recongnize the new camera.
My usual protocol for importing photos to iPhoto --> file --> add to library -->select camera icon from browser --> highlight photos from disc folder
My camera is recognized by the Mac and I see it on the desktop. I'm able to copy files from the camera folder into iPhoto using cut and paste, but it's a bit slower and sort of a pain in the ***.
Is there a setting in iPhoto which will allow the application to see my camera and show it as an option during "add to library"?
Thanks.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

PC does not recognize second Sony Reader PRS-T3. Adobe ID problem or what?

I have bought TWO e-readers, Sony PRS-T3 yesterday. The first one was no problem, after getting an Adobe ID etc, to connect to my PC (Win 7 Ultimate) and recognized by Sony's PC software "Reader for PC". But the second reader, same model, does not get connected to the PC at all. I checked on a second PC, AND both devices were recognized on it. So there is no problem to get connected when there is no Sony software installed and no Adobe ID registered at login on that computer. Is this an Adobe ID problem? And how can I solve it?

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

IPhoto does not recognize my Sony Cybershot

I am unable to import photos from my camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-HX9V). When I plug in the camera (using the included USB cord) the camera icon doesn't appear in the left colum as it should. Is it because I don't have the driver? The camera is quite popular so I expected the Apple OS to have the driver. I will appreciate any help that will be given.

Can you access the camera from Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?
Regards

Final Cut Pro Does Not Recognize New External Hard Drive

I am editing a large video project and I had to buy an external hard drive. When I go into FCP, it does not recognize that I now have a lot more room to store media. How do I get it to recognize. Please help! Thanks.

I can see the new disk on my desktop. What do I change in "Preferences" exactly?
In Final Cut pro - System Settings - Shift Q...
You can add it to your list of scratch disks... (which, BTW, should NOT include your system disk)

Sony Bravia TV does not recognize Apple TV

I have plugged everything in, power and hdmi etc but in the HDMI input settings the Sony TV does not recognize the Apple TV...
Any ideas??

There are no video adjustements on AppleTV 2.
It outputs a 720p signal.
I would imagine your TV accepts that if it has HDMI.
Try the usual troubleshooting steps:
1 - Turn everything connected on/off at the mains and restart
2 - Try a different HDMI lead if you have one.
3 - Try a different HDMI input on the TV if you have one
4 - Try a different TV set with HDMI input to try to rule out a faulty AppleTV
If none of the steps above work, specifically 4, I would assume AppleTV is a lemon/faulty and exchange it.
If it works ok with another set then it's probably an HDMI incompatibility issue, almost certainly at AppleTV end as you rarely hear of problems with other devices and HDMI, and there are known HDMI glitches with some sets. If it's an incompatibility I would take it back for a refund myself, but do let Apple know here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
so they can try to fix it in a future software update for the device. Provide them the TV make/model number.

Why does ADE 4.0 not recognize my Sony PRS-350?

Why does ADE 4.0 not recognize my Sony PRS-350?

Hi olvaso
I have the exact same problem and needless to say, I am really pissed off!!!
Such technology should not have compatibility problems, either your reader can download ebooks or else it should not be sold as an ebook reader.
I've had to download a DRM removal tool in order to read ebooks that I PAID FOR on a regular e-reader that I REGULARLY BOUGHT!!!
The problem is, not all e-books can get unlocked so I already have 4 books I can't read except on my PC.

PE 11 does not recognize Sony HDR FX1000

Windows 8.1 recognizes the camera attasched via Firewire, but PE 11 does not recognize it. Menu setting on camera is automatic and iLink out.

Continuing saga on quality of rendered project when burning to Blu-ray.
When I play back my video through my 65inch HD TV being fed directly from the Sony HDR FX-1000 the video looks HD quality. I import the files inot my project from the camera as HDV 1080i 29fps (as recorded) frame size 1440 x1080, HD Anamorphic (1.333)
Field Order--- Upper Field First followed by Reverse Field Dominance. PE 11 then codecs and saves the files to MPEG2. When I finish editing.... I select Blu-ray and then burn the disc. The quality is less than than the playback of the raw footage on HD TV. Seems to loose quality from the raw tape footage. If you really want to say poor quality.... try to burn that saved peoject as a regular DVD,,,, I did that for a relative because they did not have a Blu-ray DVD player.
My computer has no problems rendering.
Intel DP55KG MOBO
Intel i7 CPU [email protected]
16 GB RAM
Win 8.1 64 bit
Additional question.... what would be the best settings to make a Blu-ray quality slide show using a Nikon D800 Raw files?
Thanks,

Digital Editions does not recognize and authorize sony PRS-505

The problem is that it my first purchase a DRMed ebook at dieselbooks and I dowloaded digital editions and authorized it with no problems,
i downloaded the ebook and i was able to read it on digital editions. But the problem is that when i plug in the sony reader digital editions does not recognize it, so i cant authorize it and im unable to read the ebook on sony reader prs 505.
Since the ebook is DRMed i cant use another program to do it, i tried acrobat 8 with no solution.
Do you guys have an idea how to solve this problem?

Make sure you have installed and are running the latest Sony EBL software, the installation contains the needed drivers for ADE to talk to the 505. Note: if you are running on a Mac, ADE will not be able to talk to the 505 and you will have to use the Sony EBL 3.x instead.

IMovie (and iMac) does not recognize device(s)

Hello and thanks for reading. I know this topic is like beating a dead horse but this one is unique. I'm a professional editor and I couldn't figure this out so any help would be appreciated. Here's the play by play:
I edit using FCP 5.1.4 and have for years. I've had the same set up running for years and do high volume editing.
I have a chain of 4 Lacie drives, all connected by firewire.
At the end of that string, I have my tape player for capturing footage, a Sony GV-HD700, which then goes on to the TVs, DVD players, etc.
Also the end of that string, I also have a disc burner for making DVDs.
So it goes: iMac > Lacie #1 > Lacie #2 > Lacie #3 > Lacie #4 > Sony tape player & DVD burner > TVs, VCRs, etc.
Yesterday, I was in a rush and the DVD burner was going slow so I unplugged it from the end of the string of Lacie drives and plugged it directly into the back of the computer to see if it would burn faster.
It didn't, so I plugged it back into the end of the Lacie string.
At that point, Lacie #4 became unrecognizable to the computer and therefore so was the tape player, which is further down the chain.
When I plugged the tape player high up the chain, into Lacie #3, it still was not recognized.
I plugged the tape player (Sony GV-HD700) directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
I took the Sony GV-HD700 into our other editing bay and it was still not recognized.
I pulled out my camera (Sony HDR-FX1000) and plugged it directly into the back of the original computer...recognized just fine.
I plugged Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into the back of Lacie #2...recognized just fine.
I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...recognized just fine.
I have a big deadline so I said "Screw it." and was just going to capture from the camera for the time being.
I reset the Lacie drive chain, plugged the Camera into the back of Lacie #4 (just like the original setup) and BANG: Lacie #4 and the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera was not recognized.
I plugged the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...still not recognized.
I thought it might be a Final Cut Pro issue so I pulled up iMovie and it does not recognize any device connected to the computer even though I'm looking directly at it plugged in.
The entire iMac has lost the ability to recognize devices that I've used for years. I've now lost the ability to capture footage and I'm running out of time. It's almost as if the devices were getting infected by one of the Lacie drives (I think Lacie #4). Is that even possible? Has anyone ever heard of something like this? I don't know if it's something I need to change on the iMac to recognize them again, or if it's a setting on the device to reset the connection, or if somehow the Lacie drive corrupted the devices and made them unrecognizable to iMacs.
It's very, very weird.
Thanks for your help.
27" iMac (2009)
OS X 10.8.5
Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
Tape player: Sony GV-HD700
Camera: Sony HDR-FX1000
I've had this setup for years so I don't know what type firewire it is.
