Final Cut movie gets choppy in one specific part

I'm using the Trial version. Both in the project and exported, the video gets choppy during one specific part (maybe a minute long). The video lags and the music cuts in and out. The rest of the video is fine, so I'm not sure what could be causing this. Has anyone else experienced this? Anything helps, thanks.

It is a regular .mov file. It's just that it is dependent on its Project and its Render files
and also, just purely out of curiosity, what would have happened to that render file that's missing on the computer the movie was edited on? I haven't deleted any render files, did it somehow just disappear?? Thanks!
I have found that Render Files seem to get lost. Whether they are deleted in some way or it's just that FCE can't find them, I don't know.
As far as opening the FCE Project is concerned, you can easily re-render to replace any missing Render Files, but I don't like Reference QT Movies (the Dependent ones) - see my recent post at:

  • My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I send the sound in the right channel thru the left one in Final Cut to get a full stereo sound?

    My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I duplicate the sound in the right channel and run it to the left one in Final Cut to get full stereo sound?
    I've already copied and pasted the right channel (A2) onto the left channel (A1) but that just doubled the volume on the right channel.
    For instance, when I listen to my audio with headphones it only comes thru the right one.  How do I make it so that it comes thru both headphones?

    Stereo is something else. It is a sound field where the individual elements are located through varying the amount of electrical energy for each element delivered to each channel.
    What you have is a mono source that should be panned to center. This will equally divide the signal so it will be delivered out both the L & R channels.
    Load the original clip to the VIEWER and set the PAN to 0 (zero). Delete any duplicates. They are unnecessary.

  • Problem Burning Final Cut Movie Using Autoplay Feature

    I exported a Quicktime movie I made from Final Cut Pro. I wanted to burn my DVD without having the menu at the beginning, so I dragged my movie (from the "Media" link) into the autoplay box in the map view. It seems to work well-the preview shows the movie has been imported. However, after burning the DVD I get no response from my DVD player, or two other players I've used. I get error messages and the DVD does not play automatically.
    When I go back and import the Final Cut movie into a DVD theme, not using the autoplay box, and burn the DVD everything turns out fine! I cannot figure out why it doesn't work when I drag the movie into the autoplay box, but works great if I import the movie from File>Import>Video.
    Not sure if this matters, but when I exported my Quicktime movie from Final Cut I did not make the movie "self-contained." Any help on this would be great!

    Hello Wade,
    you should always create a disk image from your iDVD project. That way you can test it with DVD Player before actually burning to disc and rule out burn errors by burning at slow speed with DU.
    Not sure if this matters, but when I exported my Quicktime movie from Final Cut I did not make the movie "self-contained."
    That may well be one of the problems. If you do a search on the FCP board, you'll find that most experienced users recommend exporting as self-contained.
    I'd suggest exporting a self contained QT movie from your timeline, then creating a disk image.
    hope this helps

  • Final cut movie file dependency?

    I'm hoping someone can explain to me how exactly "final cut express movie files" work. I've read that they're just .mov files, and I know that if I change what program they're set to open with they show up as "quicktime movie files" instead; what's confusing me though is that I thought they were independent of the project file, render files, etc but when I transferred several to another computer (having created them by exporting to quicktime in FCE), now only one of them will play (in quicktime - this computer doesnt have FCE). On one computer I've tried, quicktime just hangs, and on another, the file opens but it's only audio. Now one of them won't even play on the computer it was created on. I also have an iDVD project that references one of these movies, and opening that project file I get an error that it's searching for a referenced file - NOT the final cut movie file itselef, but apperenetly something that file is referencing (I'm not on that computer now so can't give the exact message but it's something with "Seq-1" in it as I recall). I may have also gotten that error opening one of the movies in quicktime, I can't remember anymore...
    But it really seems these final cut movie files are referencing something - is that how it's supposed to be?? I have some I've made from previous projects that work just fine totally independently (I've deleted everything else from those projects). Any idea what's going on this time?
    I'm using both FCE HD and FCE version 1 - the only movie that seems to be working independently was exported from version 1, but the others were from HD. Sorry I don't have more details about the errors, I'll try to post more later when I'm at home.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Exporting Final Cut Movie Frame as High Resolution Photo

    Hello everyone,
    Is there a way to take a frame in a final cut movie and export it as a high resolution photo? My supervisor has taken some great video footage and would like to use parts of it to make a calendar. I've tried exporting in quicktime, but the highest resolution I get is 72 dpi.
    Even if there's a 3rd party program that will do this if Final Cut won't, please let me know. Thank you!

    There are any number of up-rez tools for Photoshop that do a pretty good job of creating pixels where none exist. Simply resampling at a larger size/pixel count often creates acceptable results. But, as stated, there are only a limited number of pixels available: whatever you shot with. If you shot with a fabulous high def (not HDV) camera, you might have as many as 1080x760 some odd pixels.

  • What is Final Cut Movie anyways?

    Hello guys,
    lately, I am having problems with my videos exported as Final Cut Movie.
    They work fine on my own machine, but they don't play on my friend's computers, even on brand new iMac with QuickTime 7 installed.
    QT refuses to open the file. File's icon on their desktop does not show QT logo, but when I right click for file info, it says: File type - Quick Time Movie
    So I am wondering, what is Final Cut Movie anyways? Is it true QT file, compatible with QT players worldwide? Or is it just kind of intermediate format, only meant to be converted into some more compatible format?
    Thank you so much.

    I have created this file by exporting it from Final Cut timeline using: Export as Quick Time Movie. So the file was created by Final Cut.
    Yes, it was created by FCP so it will have an FCP icon. But you can change the default opening application to QuickTime Player in the Finder's 'Get Info' window.
    But even then, as David S. has stated, that says nothing about the codec used to make the file.
    If, when you exported from FCP you made a self-contained movie and did NOT "Recompress All Frames" then the codec used will be the same codec as used in your FCP Sequence. So if you were working in a DV Sequence, the codec used to create the movie will also be QuickTime DV (aka QuickTime DV/DVCPro).
    If you made a reference movie by the same method, it will also be the same codec, but won't play on any other system without the original media and render files.
    In any event, exporting a QuickTime Movie by the above method will create an identical copy of what you have in the Sequence. But it won't play on any other system without the proper codec installed on that system.
    Is it true QT file, compatible with QT players worldwide?
    This is a misunderstanding of what a QuickTime file actually is. The ubiquitous QuickTime Movie (.mov) is merely a container and the audio and video streams contained within could have been made from any number of codecs. The same is true on the Windows side of things with the .AVI file type. Unless the codec used to create the file is installed on the viewing system, the file will not play.

  • Importing a Final Cut Movie to iMovie

    Hello to all of you, lately I've been having problems importing a movie made in Final Cut (.mov) to iMovie. The iMovie just freezes in the last part. I do this because I wanted to import it later to iDVD so I could have chapters, created so I could separate the scenes where I wanted not where the machine told me.
    This movie was two hours long (24 GB aprox.)
    Does anyone how to help me with this?

    You should be able to send your Final Cut movie to iDVD without having to use iMovie. You can make your own chapter markers in Final Cut.
    If you are not planning to burn to a dual layer DVD, you will have to shorten your movie by a few minutes. Two hours is the maximum total content that you can put onto a single layer DVD, and that includes the iDVD menus. Even if your menus are simple, you will not be able to burn a movie over about 1 hour 57 minutes. Dual layer DVDs can hold twice as much as single, so you should be ok if your drive can burn dual layers.
    But now, since you already have the movie into iMovie, to get it to work, try exporting it as QuickTime Full Quality. You will need enough hard drive space to do this, since you will be creating a duplicate of your movie. If you have an external drive, have it saved to that drive.
    Then, open a new iMovie project, drag the new quicktime movie into it, shorten it by a couple of minutes if you need to, and create your chapter markers. Close iMovie. Open a new iDVD project, drag in the iMovie made with the qt movie.
    Should burn fine.

  • Final Cut Movie to QT ?

    I am having problems with my iDVD and final cut movies. I want to use QT movies instead. What is the best setting to export to QT movie with the least amount of compression. FCE to QT ?

    If the files were made by FCP it's possible that the codecs used would also only be supported by machine that have FCP installed.
    Ask the authors to send you a file that uses H.264 video and AAC audio.

  • Can I change the volume of one specific part in a clip/sample?

    Hi!
    The question is: Can I change the volume of one specific part in a clip?
    Im not talking about a specific track, but a specific clip/sample.
    For instance you have a clip/sample with the duration of 4 sec. and you want to adjust the volume of a part that's only 0.2 sec.
    Is this possible?

    yes, use a volume automation curve, search GB's help for "curve"

  • Lost ability to create final cut movie from sequence...

    I'm on Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 and cannot create a Final Cut Pro movie from
    a sequence. When I go to my export functions, I only get QuickTime options.
    I made a Final Cut Pro Movie yesterday, so it does work. Any suggestions most welcome.
    Additionally, in printing to tape (to PD150 Sony cam through firewire), the video captures fine, but the audio (aiff stereo tracks on track one and two) cuts out intermittently throughout recording. Again, any assitance most welcome.
    thank you.

    Yes, just recently upgraded, so I got confused about the QT/FCP movie.
    Thank you.
    In terms of the print to tape, I selected the file and went print to tape from
    the created QT movie. Only small problem were two very small audio pops
    on the tape that don't exist on the QT movie. Could it be a dirty deck head
    or is there something I'm not doing?
    Either way, thank you both for your help.

  • Why is there no disc for Final Cut Pro X, is there one coming, and how do I transfer the program to a new machine from the download?  Thanks!

    Hello:
    Why is there no disc for Final Cut Pro X?
    Is there one coming?
    Can and how do I move the downloaded application from my old machine to a new computer?
    Thanks!

    You purchase FCX in the Mac App Store, there is no disc. You can reload past purchases under your account within the app store. You should also be regularly backing up your system

  • Can I add final cut pro to more than one Mac?

    I'm gonna buy final cut pro 5.1 and I wanted to know if I need to buy 2 or can I just get 1 and put it on both my Macs. I also wanted to know if this will work for Shake 4.1, Logic pro 7, Office 2004.

    It will work on both simultaneously as long as you take one of the computers off your network while editing. Might be a violation of their licensing agreement though. Not sure about that. I have the same copy of FCP on my desktop and laptop but only use the laptop for remote editing when the desktop is not practical.

    Can Final Cut Pro X be installed on more than one computer with the same Apple ID?

    Wow, thanks Tom! I was trying to make sense of Apple's license agreement mouse type, and there was no clear indication of that. Because I have a desktop machine, and a roaming laptop, I wasn't sure if I had to spend that $299.99 twice...thanks, again! Cheers, Tony

  • Final Cut .mov import error

    I have been trying to figure out why in the world final cut generates an unknown error when I'm trying to import a quicktime .mov file. Any ideas?
