FCPX 10.1: why is some video clips shown with a connected clip icon ?

Hi there,
I have finally updated to 10.1
But after conversion, in the browser, why are there some video clips shown with a connected clip icon ? And it doesn't play ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks

The edited project was 60 seconds making up an intricate title sequence involving 24 video segments and 48 png/ PSD files. Had a brain storm and was wondering if there is anyway the the project could move to another event so currently going through all the event folders on my FCPX edit drive. I just can't see how a project can just vanish.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi, Daryl -
If you moved the G4 around to make room for the new machine, that could have jarred the processor loose. It's not unusual for that to happen to an older machine, though it usually happens to RAM or cables, not to the processor.
Years of heating and cooling can loosen a connection and cause some oxidation of the contacts; subsequent moving of the machine, coupled with just a bit of thumping or torquing of the chassis, can cause the connection to fail. Reseating the connection not only makes it secure again, it usually wipes the oxidation off of the contacts.

Hi,
Green screens are almost always indicative of a video driver issue. Could you please post the contents of your "Display Devices" section after generating a DXDiag report?
What is a Dxdiag report and how do I run one?
I suspect you might have an out of date video driver. This FAQ can help you learn the steps required to update:

Finally, if the driver update does not help, try disabling hardware acceleration using the steps outlined here:

why is the video not working with skype on this os

Try this:
Quit Skype.
Click on the desktop so Finder is active. Hold the option key down and click on Go in the menu bar.
In the drop down, select Library.
Open the Library folder and scroll down to Preferences.
In that folder, there is a file called com.skype.skype.plist. Trash that file.
Now try Skype.

Why is my video being broken up into different clips when importing

Hello everyone. I just installed FCP X last night and imported a wedding video from my Canon XH-A1s using FCP, but I'm having trouble understanding why when imported the 1hr long footage taken at church is broken up into several clips. I recorded the clip as a whole and just to see if it was a tape problem I imported the clip to my pc using Sony Vegas Pro and it shows up as one whole clip.....what seems to be the problem? Is it dropping frames or is it just easier for FCP to import clips by using this method....I'm new to FCP by the way.
Using a iMac with Intel core duo, 2ghz Snow Leopard

Is that true Tom? In FCP7 (and earlier versions) HDV clips are imported as a whole, not fragmented. Every start/stop moment causes FCP to create a new clip. So if Orlando's clip was recorded as a whole, FCPX should import it as one clip.
Best regards,
WA (still very happy on FCP6)

Why does some video need to be rendered in FCE 4 before I can work on it?

I've been trying to get a handle on FCE 4 because it's very different than iMovie '08. I have a bunch of content in iMovie that I'd like to mess with in FCE 4, so I exported from iMovie as FCE XML and imported in FCE. There is some video that I re-encoded to Quicktime from ASF and it seems to need to be rendered before it will show up in the Canvas in FCE 4. FCE shows this content as DV/DVCPRO - NTSC under "Compressor" in the browser. Other stuff that was taken off my Sony HDR-SR7 is available in FCE 4 without any problems. This shows up as Apple Intermediate Coded in the browser.
What's the deal with rendering anyway? Why does FCE need to "render" video to add things like effects when iMovie can add effects, etc at will with no "rendering" required?

FCE can do certain effects on the fly without rendering. Some more elaborate transitions, like 3D wipes, require too much processor time to do them in real time. My understanding is that Macs with greater on-board processing power do more of these effects in real time, while slower machines must render.
iMovie can do these effects on the fly because it's working with far less information. Think of iMovie works in the DV format while FCE works in the DV/DVCPRO-NTSC format. It's too subtle a name difference but the reality is quite different. It's like editing still pictures in compressed, lossy JPEG format vs. uncompressed TIFF format. Think about how long it takes your computer to open a photo of say, 8x10" 300 dpi in TIFF vs. that same file in JPEG. Well, that's what FCE has to do. It's working in the video equivalent of TIFF -- 30 frames per second. So there's a greater demand on your processor by a factor of 10. You can see this in action in Quicktime. Save a raw video import 720x480 in .dv and then in DV/DVCPRO-NTSC format and then play it back. The .dv will probably play smoothly while the DV/DVCPRO-NTSC (.mov) will hang up on play-back. It's just too much for your process to display all of those full resolution images so rapidly. And if you look at the two images side-by-side (particularly titles) you'll see how sharp and clear the .mov file is compared to the compressed .dv file.
Hope this helps.

Why do some videos not copy from iphone to pc?

I don't understand why some videos will not copy from my iphone 4s to my pc (win xp) when I connect iphone usb to pc using "scanner and camera wizard"? Just some of them. It doesn't matter if its 2min or 2 sec long. Just randomly says it can't copy to my pc...
why??
Also can I avoid all this if I have icloud set up on both devices?
I haven't tried because it seems that everywhere I have read and researched - icloud only pushes photos/photostream/camera roll (as well as documents, contacts, etc) But I am focused on home videos I have recorded on my iphone camera trying to get it off iphone and onto pc.
Immediate response would be SOO appreciated!

Yeah I considered that but I had so many photos & videos I attempted it this way. And I am getting some videos to copy to pc - juist not all...grrr thanks for the icloud info though,

Why new final cut X is so restrictive connected clips? I do not see benefit.

I am coming from final cut 7 and I have no idea why new final cut X is so restrictive in having primary storyline and connected clips. I loved how in FC7 all clips were independent in timeline and gave you freedom to move and organize your clips however you wanted.
Now I have to take extra steps or jump through hoops to move clips around becaused they are connected to primary storyline. Like I have to create secondary storylines. Really??
I do not see any benefit to connected clips except that it automatically follows primary storyline when you move primary clip around - which most of time I do not want it to do. We should be able to turn this off because I do not see any benefit to connected clips with primary storyline.
FCX is dictating how we organize clips on timeline which is way more restrictive than FC7. This is just wrong.
Also bring back enable tracks. Why in the world did they remove tracks. Tracks work and is easier to visualize and organize clips in timeline. Like if I wanted to disable audio or video for a track it was just one click in FC7. Now there are extra steps in FCX They should enable this for people who are use to tracks.
They should really talk scold to whoever mad scientist who wanted to make FCX more restrictive than FC7 and impose their workflow on everyone else.
I like magnetic timeline where you can move clips around and other clips will automatically move to make room for it. This save time.
So can we disable connected clips and let us enable tracks just like better FC7?

The first Quantel NLE, back in the 80ies, was mimicing the Moviola - showing vertical stripes of 'film'.
So, you could ask "Why have they changed to horizontal?"
On editing film, you wrote with some white wax pen an X onto it, to indicate a dissolve....
So, you could ask "Why have they changed that to drag'n drop grey boxes?"
On recording they hold a clapper into the cam, to 'sign' the time-code.
So, you could ask "Why have they changed that to meta-tags, hidden invisible in the file?"
Aside doing compos ('Brady Bunch', '24'), there are no 'tracks' in no movie.
In any movie, there's always just a single storyline...
If you like to apply 'variations', get customed to FCPX' Auditions.
If you like to adjust cut-aways, get customed to the various trim/ripple/nudge options of FCPX.
If you like to pre-select clips, get customed to the Events-concept and its endless options (you can even abuse to create 'bins'!) to tag clips.
If you like to 'pre-comp', get customed to FCPX' compounds and their own timelines.
It is a different, a new way of editing. That simple.
As others told you: nobody forces you to adopt it.
There's AP, there's DaVinci Resolve .... and many others.
And you even can Position a clip...

Why do some videos from some website stop working after seconds or minutes on a new iPad

I subscribe to some website posting videos. The videos will start as it should and then stop after, sometimes seconds, and sometimes minutes after the beginning.
The iPad is less than 3 weeks old. it is already the second. The first was a 16 GB this one is a 32 GB. no difference. This issue does not happen with only one website but other posted videos from other websites.

This and other answers helped me to understand better why I cannot view these videos and search for answers. I found that the videos posted by this website end in .cfm, and doing research cfm is Adobe and is not compatible with apple software ? why this is not resolved is surprising to me - Several other people experience the same issue as I (dating 2007-to 2013) I am not computer literate but I know how to find information on the web and know +or - how to use the programs. There seems to be nothing that will convert these videos into a format that the iPad could process and allow. should I buy quicktime for my windows device and transfer/sync it to the ipad (?)(3 weeks old I paid $900) will this work. I have tried to upgrade the firmware to my router but no luck there either; even following all the steps religiously. the unzip is not working? I get a file the upgrade button rejects.
if it is this cfm format that is doing that, then there is no reason to spend x$ into a new router : the issue will remain the same- is this statement correct ?
your help is greatly appreciated.

Why are some video frame sizes smaller than others?

I am copying a number of short amateur digital video movies onto a single DVD. All are 16:9 ratio, but whereas most fill the screen on my computer monitor and 16:9 ratio television, some appear as a smaller picture - still 16:9 ratio, but with a black border around all four sides of the picture. Can someone please explain what causes this, and is it practical to enlarge the smaller picture movies to match the full screen ones, or will the image quality be noticeably poorer? If it's practical to do, how do I do the enlarging? Thank you.
