Final Cut having problems exporting after updating to Maverick

Since the update, Final Cut will only export videos in a reasonable amount of time when Final Cut is open to the front. Otherwise a 45 minute video takes 8+ hours to export. Not sure what has happened or how in the world to fix this.

Anyone Please Help i need to send these Documents and can't. Thanks

  • Final Cut Pro wont export after Maverick update!!!!

    HI guys, I am facing a painful trouble of not being able to export anything from FCPX after I updated to Maverick. When I click Share/Export Movie nothing happens, not even a blink. Then I tried different exporting options like Apple Devices, Media Browsers etc. but it just gives me on message >>>>
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
    I have tried following options available of many other forums, youtube videos and blogs :
    1. Prevent App Nap in Get Info. Done. Nothing happens.
    2. Try deleting All Render Files. Done. Nothing happens.
    3. Try increasing the disk space. Done. Nothing happens.
    4. FCPX preferences changes. Done. Nothing happens.
    5. Re-install FCPX. Done. Nothing happens.
    I really need to finish a project for a client and this is just becoming such a pain. Where is Steve Jobs???
    Please help!!!!

    Sounds like you're using an obsolete version of the software. What version is it?

  • Problems freezing after update to Mavericks 10.9.5

    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro. all was fine until i clicked the button to update to Mavericks 10.9.5 (and I think there was another update too). Everything froze, the touchpad didn't work,.. nothing. Force quit did nothing. I closed lid - but later when I lifted it, it was all still frozen and I resorted to pressing and holding the on/off button. 
    I've spent the last 24 hours trying different things - sometimes when it freezes, the laptop seems to think the edge of the screen is in the middle (i.e. keep taking the mouse left and it appears on the right of the screen), and also I am getting funny lines and dots on the screen (is it possible it's my graphics??) and the cursor changes to a funny vertical dotted line.
    I tried starting it in safe mode - it got to the log in screen with loads of lines etc. on the screen, but I persevered as I had heard it would produce diagnostics.... anyway I ended up with a blue screen with black lines down it. Eventually I pressed the on/off button again.... so safe mode is not working... (I think.. unless I didn't wait long enough?)
    As suggested on here, I went into the library and have now dragged the caches folder onto the desktop, and I am waiting to see if my laptop freezes again. This appears to have copied the folder onto my desktop, rather than moved it - is that right?
    Today I have also removed 300GB of photos, as I was down to my last 19GB - just in case that was the problem, but it has frozen since, so I'm guessing not. I have 16GB RAM so that shouldn't be a problem.
    I'm fairly new to Mac. I haven't encountered any error codes, just screen freezes and odd graphics. I haven't been able to find where the diagnostics are to run. When it freezes, it gets very hot, so I have been pressing the on/off button and letting it cool off.
    I'm still awaiting to see if it happens again, but I wondered has anyone else experienced anything similar or does anyone have any advice. Any advice gratefully received!

    Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.
    Restart and run the combo updater.

    However, you might need to reinstall OS X in the Recovery Drive. This process should not damage your data but it's always advised that you backup first.
    If you don't have a clone backup it's time to start. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection.
    Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. You will need an external drive to backup your data.

    Free space: It suggested you have a minimum of 10% free but this can vary depending on the size of the drive. When you get below 10GB free you need to start moving files off the drive.
    You can keep your iPhoto and iTunes Libraries on an external drive. Hold down the option key when launching the app to point to the new library location.

  • Having problems exporting and updating through the CC updater

    So my machine keeps crashing on a simple export for some reason. So I looked online at some solutions and Adobe is saying that I need to change some Preference folder's permissions or whatever. One: There instructions did not work. The folder or file was not in there. Two: Now my apps can't update because it keeps asking me to sign in with my Mac user's password and it won't update now.
    Seriously, what is going on? Premiere Pro was working just fine awhile ago. Why this bull right before a big project is due?
    Please, I need some help with this.

  • Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

    I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
    Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

    TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
    BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • Final Cut Pro X export troubles: exports video with only half the audio.

    Ever since I updated Final Cut Pro X, I've been having problems exporting. I either get error messages or the audio doesn't fully export. When I tried exporting a master file to my desktop, I got a message saying “error occurred when creating frame” then lists the frame number. Someone suggested copying the project file and pasting it into a new project. I did that, and it exported without the error popping up; but halfway through the video, the audio disappears, and does so in the same spot it disappeared in a previous youtube export before I tried the copy/paste method. I don't have the original footage; I'm making color correction changes to an edit; so I'm not sure if the second half of the video is somehow corrupted, don't know how to check that, and not sure what to do if it is.
    Another suggestion given to me was to delete the event my footage is in, then create a new event, re-upload all the footage into that one, and relink my project files to it. He also said don't delete my event and project folder at the same time, which I'm not even sure how you simultaneously delete two things on a laptop. I don't understand how this method would work though, since deleting the event makes my project disappear since it has nothing to link to. I'm scared to try this method since I don't want to lose my work; I really don't want to color correct it all over again.
    Is there any way to successfully export the file suitable for youtube posting, or is this a bug in the system they haven't fixed yet?

    Just turned off background rendering.
    I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,083
    Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
    Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,274
    Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
    The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
    If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
    Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?

  • Is there any final cut express 4.0.1 update available?

    Is there any final cut express 4.0.1 update available? I want a RELIABLE source to update this, preferably by APPLE, Inc.
    I'm VERY disappointed that APPLE does not have that on the website. I SUPPORTED you by buying a product and in return you do NOT have a place for us to install upgrades especially if consumers like me got a new laptop. That is just plain MEAN. I mean, REALLY.
    Thank you and I hope to get this as soon as possible.

    Final Cut Express was discontinued 3 years ago (June 2011).  It was replaced by Final Cut Pro X.
    FCE is no longer supported by Apple.  That does not mean it won't run on Lion, Mt. Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite, however with each successive upgrade to OS X it becomes less & less likely that FCE will be installable or even run properly after being installed, because it is so much older than the current versions of OS X.   That said, the FCE 4.0.1 update is still available through Software Update provided you already have FCE 4.0 installed on your Mac.  The 4.0.1 update is not available "publicly," meaning you can't search for it on Apple's website and find it; FCE 4.0 has to already be installed on your Mac and you have to update it via Software Update on your Mac.
    One forum contributor DID find a way to download the 4.0.1 update without using Software Update, see this thread -> Where can I download Final Cut Express 4.0.1?
    My advice is to move to Final Cut Pro X since you have a Mac running Mavericks (10.9.5).
    I understand your frustration at having purchased some software and now you can no longer use it.  However, obsolescence is a natural part of the technology world.  FCE is now obsolete and has been replaced by Final Cut Pro X.   If you have OS X Lion or any later version of OS X installed on your Mac, you should be looking at Final Cut Pro X.

  • Final Cut Pro X Exporting to Youtube with Canon 5D Mark ii

    Hi,
    I'm having problems exporting to Youtube with Final Cut Pro X. i convert the file and upload, but the audio is not syncing properly. The video is fine. Any tips on what to do? I'm using a Canon 5 D Mark ii. 24fps, 1080
    Also does anyone know where the audio setting are on FCPX?
    Thanks

    Hi aussiearn
    The process you suggested worked beautifully: images clear and true sound accurate.
    I have over 100 30 to 60-minute videos to put on a client's YouTube channel. Using the YouTube settings in Compressor my first uploads colours were looking washed out, and the audio progressively slipped when played via the Safari browser. Your advice has fixed this issue, so thank you for taking the time to post.
    To clarify what I understood your process to be for others who may wish to use it:
    In FCPX choose 'Share' from the menu bar
    Select 'Export Media'
    In the options presented: 'Export' should be set to 'Video and Audio'; 'Video codec' as H.264; 'Audio file format' will be greyed out but show Quicktime Movie; 'Open with' will show 'QuickTime Player.app (default)'. Click 'Next'.
    You'll be presented with 'Save As' options. Name the file and select where you want it to go on your drive(s), and click 'Save'.
    Export will begin: my 6.84GB video, which was 45-minutes of 1920 x 1080 at 23.98fps, took about 35 minutes using a Macbook Pro 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM
    When the export is complete the video should automatically open in QuickTime.
    Within QuickTime go to 'File' on the menu bar and choose 'Export for Web', which is at the bottom of the drop-down menu
    You'll be presented with a box that says 'Export versions of your movie optimized for web-delivery to iPhone and the desktop'. Pick what you want to name the file in the 'Export as' and then where you want it to go in 'Where' (obviously enough). You can save in three versions for different contexts, but I chose only to save as 'Broadband', with the best quality as YouTube will automatically create different versions later. Click 'Export'.
    An 'Export Progress' box should appear. My file took around 45-minutes to process.
    At the end of the process you will find a folder with your chosen name, rather than a file. Click on tha folder, then click on the 'Resources' Folder you will find in side. Amongst other files you'll find a .m4v file with 'broadband' at the end of the name. Rename the file and change the suffix '.m4v' to '.mp4' and upload to YouTube.
    As you said this seems to save a lot of time compared to compressor (perhaps half the time?) The file that began the process at 6.84 GB ended as 1.16 GB, and looks and sounds great.
    Thank you,
    Nigel

  • Why does my final cut express movie flicker after i put on disk using idvd

    Why does my final cut express movie flicker after burning to a dvd using idvd.  Its about 90 minutes long.

    Hi
    As Alchroma writes - more info needed.
    FCE/P to iDVD
    Several things
    • How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Free space on Start-up hard disk
    • Encoding
    • Brand and type of DVDs used
    • Burn speed set
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapters
    How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
    • Disable Screen and Energy saver
    • IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
    This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
    Free space on Start-up hard disk
    I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
    Encoding
    • I use Pro Quality encoding
    Brand and type of DVDs used
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R
    Burn speed set
    • I set down this to x4 (or x1)
    iDVD BUG
    • One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
    the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
    of them will work.
    Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
    Use of Chapters
    • I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
    • NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
    • No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
    (Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    Material used to build movie
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
    from post ??
    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving
    Yours Bengt W

  • Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

    hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
    much respect,
    tommy bravo

    After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

    only half of the body just below the camera and steel side of camera side is getting heated up just after 10 , 15 mins of usage i my iphone  4 is it normal...as earlier the body was not heating up even after 2 hours....the problem started after updating to 6.1.2
    iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2

    Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
    My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
    It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
    It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
    Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
    Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!

  • Final cut pro X export files bigger than originals

    I got two WMV files, each file size about 500mbs, I converted them to mp4 using permute. Afther converting, each file size about 490mbs.
    Then I open the mp4 files with final cut pro, I just want to mend the two clips together, it's that simple. I finish puting the clips adjacent to each other. Then hit export and chose encoding method .h264.
    When final cut finished exporting, the movie is over 4GB in size.
    Why is it so big ? the orginal files combined size is just about 1 GB.

    File numer 1

  • I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

    i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
    my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
    i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
    i am sure there is a simple way round this?
    thanks guys!

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
