Final Cut Error when moving .mp4 clip into sequence

I attempted to move an .mp4 clip into the sequence and it says "General Error" before Final Cut Pro Force closes itself. In the error details it says something about a thread error whatever that means. It will play fine in the Quicktime Player but will not open in Final Cut or allow itself to be moved into the timeline. Anyone know why this is happening?
The .mp4 is in H-264 format and I have Final Cut Pro 7.0.3

Editing h.264 without conversion is not supported in FCP. You need to convert your clip(s) to an FCP edit friendly codec. What codec is appropriate is a function of what the properties of the source h.264 clip are.
You can find the properties for your clip by clicking on the clip in the FCP browser so that it is selected, then typing Command + 9. Either report what the item properties are for the clip, or take a screen shot and post the screen shot here if it is easier.
The reason that the clip plays back in Quicktime is that quicktime is a player, not an editor.

Final Cut Pro 7: Split a clip into sections so I can add part slow-motion

The questions in the question tbh. I just have a clip which i want to slow down part of but i found the only way to do this is to split the clip and then slow down the section. but i dont know how to split it?

While you're visiting the built-in manual system, look up the razor blade tool.

Hi, a "General error"appears on my Final Cut Project when I try to save it. I read in this Community that the solution could be save on the desktop. It works, but how could I solve it in my External HD?

Right click the external icon on the Desktop and select Get Info.

LR4.2 - Error when moving files

I can repeatedly reproduce an error when moving files into folders within LR4.2.
My current folder structure is setup like:
F:\pictures\YEAR\Folder name\Sub folder\
When I'm moving files from "Folder name" to "Sub folder" I will be moving approx 6 - 20 photos at a time when sorting them into sub folders. After a while of moving files, LR will stop allowing you to move files and will show up the O symbol with a line through it. Until you close and re-open LR will it allow you to start moving photos again.
I've had this happen 3 times on me now and is completely reproducible. As above, move a small amount of files from a parent folder into a child folder repeatedly and eventually it will refuse to move any more photos until you restart LR.

Hi,
I experienced the same problem and error message this morning ...and found that the following steps will resolve the error (at least when using LR 3 on a MAC):
(1) Open LR and rename all the files that you are trying to move by hitting the F2 button, (MAC shortcut)
(2) Look for any images that may have a '?' mark next to them and resolve if required. (The '?' indicates a file 'location' conflict within the catalogue, - ie you may have moved the files around outside of LR)
(3) While still within LR ....highlight all the files that need to be moved ....and drag and drop them into your preferred new location in the usiual way.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Error when attempting to merge into table with RLS - ORA - 28132

hey,
i've encountered an "ORA-28132 - Merge into syntax does not support security policies" when attempting to merge into a table with RLS defined on it.
i looked around and found this [discussion |http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:259415261270] on ask tom.
according to the thread - this was a bug in 9i. in 10g merge is possible only if the policy returns "null" and in 11g it was finally fixed.
*i have been able to merge into tables with rls in 10gR2 in some cases.*
i would like to know if anyone has some more information about this error. when can i merge into tables with RLS ?
thanks, Haki.

Never.
The bug was that it did work sometimes in 10g i.e. it should always raise an error.
It's something that I've always found a bit odd and frustrating - that MERGE and RLS policy should not be compatible.
But bottom line is that you shouldn't be using MERGE on table with RLS policy.

Why am I getting a -50 error when moving music to my iTouch?

Why am I getting a -50 error when moving music to my iTouch?

As Jim as stated, you do not want the OS, video app, and media all competing for hard drive access.
It may have worked before, but that doesn't mean will work henceforth, as you have learned.
A FW800 portable drive will cost about $75.00.

Does Mackie Control work with Final Cut 7 when using USB MIDI?

I have a Mackie Control Universal Pro connected via USB to my mac and it works GREAT with Logic and all the complimentary Logic Studio software.
The problem I am having is, when I try to use it with Final Cut, it wont work at all. I have read the post concerning this that was answered by Andy Mees but, I dont use a true MIDI connection, only USB.
Any thoughts?

Final Cut Pro 7: Copying/pasting clips in timeline w/o overwriting

How do I copy and paste clips in my timeline without overwriting the other clips? We know how to drag clips in the timeline (and do an insert edit), but this takes too long since we have dozens and dozens of clips already in our timeline. It's easier to be able to just copy and paste (or cut) but whenever we do this, when we paste the clip it automatically overwrites instead of inserting the clip at the playhead (and simply moving everything else down).
We think we must be doing something very simple wrong or having some unknown box checked because it seems obvious that this should be something very easy to do in any editing program. It doesn't make sense that the default setting of Final Cut is to overwrite clips, right?

This is the FCP-X forum, not the FCP-7 forum, but to answer your question -
to paste copied clips into the timeline without overwriting, place the playhead where you want to place your copied clip(s) and type Shift-V instead of Command-V.

File error when importing .mp4 files

Hi there,
I have a problem concerning importing files.
I had some .mkv files, which I converted to .mp4 files with just 1 audio track and no subtitles using Handbrake.
Problem is, I can't import these files into Final Cut Pro 7.
It gives the following error:
"File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
I have no problem importing .avi files, or .mp4 files that haven't been converted.
Does anyone know what I should do? I don't know any other program to convert .mkv files, so basically, I'm bound to using Handbrake.
Thanks in advance!!

I didn't know Handbrake was such a bad tool.
I never did much video-editing before, so I usually used iMovie, and the Handbrake-converted files worked fine with that.
And I did what you said, I converted the video to .mov with MPEG Streamclip, using the mentioned presets, but now I have another problem.
A 22 minute file, which was 360MB before converting, turned into a 6.2GB file after converting.
Since I use videoclips from a TV Serie, which has over 60 episodes, this is going to cost a lot of space. Is there any way to reduce the filesize without destroying the video quality, or is there any, ANY, way to make FCP accept .mp4 files?
I don't care if it slows down my Mac or anything, it's just that I know it's possible, with the 700MB file from one of my posts above.

Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

Final cut pro audio missing from clip once i move it from viewer to canvass?

hi i'm new to final cut pro 7, when i play my video in the viewer i can hear the audio loud and clear however when i'm move it to the canvass and play it in the time line the audio is gone? can someone pls help me

Probably best to ask this questio in the FINAL CUT STUDIO forum and not the FCPX forum, BUT -- since you're here...
Make sure that the AUDIO PATCHES are connected to the timeline... those are the pluggy arrow type looking things on the left side of the timeline. With the clip in the viewer window add it into the timeline. Audio should come with it.
Or - do you already SEE the audio tracks on the timeline and you just can't hear it? (if that's the case, try opening the audio mixer and making sure the master volume is up.
Good luck,

Final Cut Pro X Speeding Up Clip Dropped Frames

Hello there!
I record Xbox 360 gameplay through a Hauppauge HD PVR into EyeTV3. I then export those clips using EyeTV3. Then, I import those clips into Final Cut Pro X. In the past, FCPX used to work through these clips incredibly fast and I never had any problems changing the speed in the timeline. Now, however, FCPX runs really slow, sometimes crashes upon startup, and most annoyingly, drops frames...a lot. I import the file and put it in the timeline, and even without changing the speed, it often doesn't even render the whole clip, but rather just appears to 'miss' 3 or 4 frames, which is very annoying. It gets even worse when I change the speed of the clip (namely, speed it up). I know it is not an EyeTV3 problem, because I watch the clips just fine after exporting in QuickTime. I have tried exporting as H.264 an HD 720P, but nothing seems to work. And I don't understand why it used to work flawlessly until now. It is really upsetting and I am at a loss as to how to fix the problem. All help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Why does it say server error when trying to sign into icloud on my microsoft

I downloaded i cloud for my windows computer and when i try signing into it it says server error. what does this mean. i am trying to set up icloud so i can save photos
Please help

Have you tried this with any player and does this happens with all browsers or some specific browser ?
Its possible that correct MIME is not rendered ,browsers rely on the MIME type sent in the server headers.
Can you test out with different files and new pages , try to use original format of mp4 for testing.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Final Cut Pro X exports video clip as black

Hi Everyone,
I have a big problem, I'm trying to export a project with many HD clips, the first of which is the only one being shot as AVCHD on a Sony DSLR and converted to .mov by Voltaic HD because otherwise I can't import it in Final Cut Pro X. The rest of the clips are directly imported from another camera, no conversion.
The first clip (the one I had to convert) plays and gets edited fine within FCPX, but after I export the whole project, all the part that had that clip is just black picture with no sound. My titles, photos in the meantime are still there, but otherwise all black until the next clips show up.
The sources clips are hd1080p but I'm trying to export the project as 720p. My FCPX version is 10.0.9. I've edited videos from the same source and conversion before and never had this problem.
So now I just took the same single clip into a new project and exported it at 720p and there it just works fine ... Arrrghh!! How can I fix this?

I am having an almost identical problem:
Trying to export (doesn’t matter to what: Master File, Apple Device, etc. all lead to the same result) the project I am working on is producing a black screen with no audio (for the length of the project) – only the start and end titles get rendered.
The project plays fine in FCP X 10.0.9; the initial screen on the export dialog produces a correct looking screenshot (with both the picture and title visible), and predicts realistic sizes for the export file, which ends up being tiny by comparison.
Other projects with a similar workflow are exporting fine: basically I have shot a couple of concerts, and each project is one song with start and end credits and some color correction, stabilization, etc.
The source was 1080P video from a Canon SLR 5D Mark III, and it is being exported to 1080P -- however, I don't think that's relevant, because video from the same source to the same export files worked fine before - FCP X can obviously handle the format involved.
I tried deleting the FCP X preferences -- didn’t help. I had already tried deleting the render files.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
