Final Cut doesn't see camera? Please help!!

So i'm opening final cut and i have my camera turned on and plugged up, but it says it can't see it. System Profiler sees it, as well as iMovie. Is there something i have set wrong? I've deleted preferances and everything. It just won't see the camera. the strangest thing was i got it to control the camera but, there was still no video when i would log and capture.
can anyone help?

I created the XML file in Adobe Priemer Pro. Final Cut doesn't see this file. The file in the list not the active. Prompt please.

I created the XML file in Adobe Priemer Pro. Final Cut doesn't see this file. The file in the list not the active. Prompt please.

The XML format Premiere uses is not supported in FCPX. The only way I know of that may work is to go through FCP7 and then use 7toX to get to FCPX.

Final Cut Crashes on macbook pro, please help!

Hi!
I just bought Final Cut Studio 3, but Im having some issues. Final Cut Pro 7 crashes at startup, everytime. Motion 4 crashes when I click on "file". Color and DVD studio works okay-ish (I havent tried them out extensively)
Could this be due to my macbook pro 4.1 not being good enough? I have 4 gb ram, 2,4 ghz, and I dont think it has integrated graphics, so it seems to pass all requirements.
Please help me! I paid lots of money for this program, so it would be a shame if I cant get it to work.

Hi Mads,
These are the specs recommended by apple.

Also, do you have any third party filters/effects loaded.

Final Cut Express: Audio question. Please help!

Hi, I'm new to Final Cut Express and I have a random question.
I have a 2 minute video that I put into my timeline sequence. I added photos over some of the video and now I decided that I want to delete the rest of the video and audio since 2 minutes is too long. Well, now it will allow me to delete the video but not the audio. Does anyone know how to make in/out points for just the audio? and to cut it? Every time I make an in/out point, it only allows me to do it for the video. Now, I have this two minute-long audio that I need to get rid of that I just can't seem to delete/cut.
If anyone out there can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
~Alice

You're making In and Out points in the timeline right? Make sure the autoselect buttons are black for the tracks you want to select.

Can't open Sony PXW-X70 (.mxf) video files for Final Cut Pro X or iMovie, please help!

Hi there--
Just got the Sony PXW-X70 and I can't seem to open the .mxf or even successfully transcode the video files into something that can be read on the mac. (Running 10.9.5)
I downloaded Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac and the Ackrock Video Converters and neither of them work. They just are able to import the audio but not the video portion.
Very frustrated here, any advice? Thanks!

The clips from the X70 are not XAVC-S, but XAVC (sometimes called XAVC-L) and the plugin from Sony linked above is not compatible with them. I also don't recommend those sketchy third party conversion options. Still, as of mid-December, the best options for getting Sony X70 XAVC clips into FCPX are:
1. Use the free Sony Catalyst Browse to convert them (one at a time, although you can queue up multiple files without waiting for the previous one to finish)
2. Use the $200 Sony Catalyst Prepare software
3. Shoot AVCHD until there is a solution from Sony - supposedly Sony is at work on a plugin for FCPX to allow native ingest/editing of these clips. I've read that it should arrive very soon, but we'll see.
I'm using option 1 - $200 is ridiculous, and I didn't buy a camera with 10-bit 4:2:2 and a strong codec to shoot in AVCHD
If it's any consolation, Avid and even Sony Vegas will not import them either.

Final Cut Pro Won't Open, Please Help

Hello everyone,
I had my main hard drive started to fail, but I was lucky enough that
I was able to clone the drive with Data Rescue II.
The majority of my files were ok. I had to do a reinstall for some
things. Which brings me to FCP. Whenever I try to launch FCP, I get the launch window, I get the window where everything is loading, then it just stops. I have FCP Studio install disk. After a couple tries, I reinstalled the software, and the same thing.
I deleted the Application file and the System ID file.
I reinstalled and updated, tried to launch, I have deleted the
application file in Application folder, reinstalled. and again
nothing.
One thing that I have noticed is that even after I deleted the Apps and System ID files, when I go to reinstall, it still says upgrade? Is there a file(s) that I am missing.
I am on a tight deadline, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Welcome to the forum S. Dot! You are lucky seems to me...
Try trashing your Preference files for FCP using this: http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ If That fails, you could try creating a new user to give it another go with... BUT:
Funny, the same thing just happened to me. I used Data Rescue II as well. I've saved data several times for clients too, but in no case would I trust the clone that Data Rescue would deliver... I'd be starting over though with a fresh install of OS and applications. Be happy you've saved your data though, it can be copies over to a new startup disk.
I'd build a new startup disk from the ground up. Install OS X, Run Software update to get to the latest, then install the Studio, and run Software update again to get to the latest... then install other apps you need to. Using a different drive other than the one you are using now... that way you can copy over from the clone you're working with now.
You'll only need previous serial numbers for FCP when you install any of the upgrades. Just install the latest vesion you have.

Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence. Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files. I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right. Here's what I've done to force the issue. Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp. Create a new project. import the audio in the new project. And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project.
Good luck

FCE doesn't see camera after 10.4.3 upgrade

Here I Go Again...a few weeks ago, I got on a discussion thread about difficulties I was having getting Final Cut Express HD to see my Canon Optura camera. After a bit of back-and-forth with Tom Wolsky, he clarified what my problem was, and I subsequently obtained an additional FireWire PCI card, which I attached my two LaCie drives and a DV converter to while having the camera connected to the system's FireWire port. Everything worked fine after that. Well, yesterday I upgraded (my Quicksilver dual G4) to 10.4.3 and Final Cut can't see the camera under any circumstances. (iMovie still allows me to switch freely between the camera and the converter) I removed Final Cut app, preferences and User Data folder, restarted from system disk and ran permissions verifications, reinstalled FCE, removed the drives and the converter with the camera alone connected to system's firewire and then the PCI card, and...nothing. I have been unable to use Final Cut since I got it, I end up doing all my work in iMovie and I'm about ready to cry. What am I missing? HELP!!!

Normally when going to a new operating system such as from Panther to Tiger it's a good idea to do a clean wipe of the hard drive and install.
There is a problem with QuickTime 7 in this upgrade path. There was a sticky at the top of old forum that explained the problem and the solution. Unfortunately it's gone in the new forum.
This article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 contains some of the information. Try that and see if it helps.

Final Cut doesn't playback when copy any files over network

First, i want say a thanks for all guys who help us here. Thank you very much. Much appreciate.
Now, problem...
My Final Cut works perfect sice a starded used 2005, never i have a one problem.
But last week i discover this:
When a copy any files between macs over a network the final cut doesn`t play in the sequence. nothing happening. but if i stop copy in the finder, it ok, everything back normal again.
I try using a project over a network and its perfect, fine.
only if i copy anything in the finder and final cut doesnt play.
Guys, anyone have this problem? Its normal?
I dont know, i try many this before i post here and nothing works.
Ps.: I have two imac i7 and this two have same problem.

I hope i understand you right.
when you copy a file from one network to another sometimes the file paths are lost. Like if you have a drive called FCP HDD on one cpu and FCP HDD3 on another. The original path is associated to the copied files on FCP HDD drive and not the FCP HDD3 drive so a path would be lost there.
If you are connected via gigabyte ethernet cable and the imacs are synced then there would only be a latency problem as the gigabyte ethernet is slower than sata and FW 400 or 800.
If you are just coping the source media (meaning the files you captured from the cam) then all of your paths will be new based on the place you copied them too.
so if i have a project like 'My Commercial' and that is the name of the project file then it is it own project. The media within that project is associated to which ever drive you put it on.
If i move the project to another computer then the media is not there.
Why? Because the project is looking for the name of the original drive which may not exist on the imac you moved the project too. Unless you have a server.
Also, Even if you do move the media files to the drive that IS connected to the new computer the drive is most likely to have a different path for the media.
What you want is to connect the 2 cpus in a way that allows drive sharing.
Do you get the red 'Media Offline" error in the timeline?

My ipad is on an infinite loop. I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started. I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!

I even tried some hints posted for ios6 (turn off Ipad, holding home button and plugging in power cord at the same time and then releasing the home button)
I did manage to get a different screen that shows the itunes icon and a power cord, but nothing happens.

You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Adobe Reader is free. It always has been.
You have obviously downloaded and installed Acrobat (30 day trial version) and the trial period has expired.
You need to uninstall Acrobat (using the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features [Vista/7])
Then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
to completely remove the Acrobat installer files.
Then download Reader 9, install it, and go about reading PDFs for free.
EDIT: Please, please please.... do NOT post a phone number in the forums.
You're inviting trouble if you do.

[Acrobat X Standard] The tool box doesn't work. Please help!

[Acrobat X Standard] The tool box doesn't work. Please help!
I have a Acrobat X Standard.
When I open the documents, I can't click the tool box. but when I don't open the documents, I can use the tool box.
To solve the problem,
1. reinstall the menu.
2. reboot the computer.
But, It still didn't work.
Plz help!!

Was it AA X Std that you had these options in (sorry, I only have Pro)? If it was the trial (that is Pro), it may be that Std does not have to feature. Under XI at the Adobe site, there is a comparison of features between Std and Pro that might give you a hint.
There is also an option to turn on or hide many tools. For me there is a small icon just above the tools...comment titles. If you select that it give a list of tools you can display. Often, several are not displayed by default. How you lost them is another things, but it is getting them that is the basic question.

I cannot open the new email icon for 10.6.8 including the latest security update. My old "Stamp" icon email won't let me in either indicating that the new OS version doesn't work. Please help. I have spend over 4 hours installing and reinstalling updates, etc. and I don't know where to go from here.....

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
