Final Cut Pro 5.1 Not Recognizing My Deck!

I just upgraded to FCP Studio 5.1 in the hopes that it would allow me to open a project that get a general error message when opening on my 4.5 (but not on my friend's computer or at the mac store!) Well the general error message still comes up so I resigned myself to starting over. When I opened FCP it doesn't recognize the camcorder that I have been using as a deck for the past few months with 4.5 It is a Sony DCR-TRV38. It isn't on their list of qualified devices but it seems strange and shocking that I would have to buy a new camcorder just to use FCP Studio. They can't expect everyone to do that, can they?

Final cut pro x dissolves not working

Final Cut Pro X, dissolves not working, When I use Ribbon, Heart ect, they showup on the video flickering, will not allow me to render the video, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry. That should be what's the media? What are the project properties?

Send to - Final Cut Pro XML data not seeing my Color render

Sup folks,
As always I did some lurking on these boards and consulted the manual about this issue.
Nada.
I've rendered my shots. They were all queued. They were all rendered.
When I use the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command I get the "not all your clips were rendered" warning. I click yes to see what I will get.
FCP imports the XML data and I get nothing. All of the clips in my FCP timeline generated through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command are all of my original media prior to my color workflow. Not my graded Color renders.
I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
I thought that would fix my problem. It didnt.
So again: my issue is that even with my shots all rendered correctly (i checked them in QT) the XML being sent to FCP through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command is not hooking up with my renders.
Deadline tomorrow.
As always,thanks for your time

I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did >update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
If I'm following the sequence correctly, you rendered your material to a local drive. Then you moved it, changed the paths (in COLOR), and then tried to "Send to... FCP". Is this correct? If so, doomed to failure. In your case, you may have even moved an empty folder.
There is an ironclad and non-negotiable series of events in rendering and initiating the roundtrip. Many users regard this as a "bug". One of the first things that a user should always do is set up all the target paths before even doing the first grade. But it is essential that the target render path be set up PRIOR to loading the Render Queue. COLOR creates the receiving folder at that time, and that is where the media will go no matter what you do after the RenderQueue is loaded. Change the path, change the format... change whatever you want... the deal has been done, and all will be ignored. However, once the media is rendered and you choose Send To... FCP, then the original XML that FCP sent will be modified by COLOR and passed back to Final Cut. COLOR does NOT,repeat, NOT generate EDLs, XMLs, or any of that stuff. It only modifies original lists. That you modified the Media, Render and Project paths (probably only in the User Preferences tab) is meaningless once the project has been rendered. The Render path for this individual project is determined in the Project Settings pane, along with the render dimensions and format. However, COLOR will observe a path change AFTER the render, and edits the XML re-export to try to find the media in the newly named directory. Of course, your media is actually elsewhere, and you get a blank sequence.
Lastly, make sure that you SAVE the project after renders, to retain the "rendered" clip status -- or COLOR won't remember any of this.

Final cut pro HD 2 not working with new updates

recently purchased a new imac. Most of my old programs were not supported. I updated to 10.9 from 10.5. Now, all the programs are running except Final Cut pro HD 2. I get a message sayin"power pc applications are no longer supported" Any suggestions? I read in an old discussion (from 2011) that I might need to download Rosetta?

I do not know which version of FCP the OP is using as I do not recognize his designation of Final Cut Pro HD 2.
However, last weekend I attempted to install Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6) into Snow Leopard installed in Parallels, as a test. It failed!
Final Cut's installer suggested the following problems: not enough VRAM - 64 needed; 0 present (even though Parallels is set for more than the minimum required VRAM); and a missing video card.
I attempted to work around this problem by using Pacifist to install FCS2, which worked, as far as the installation was completed. However, when I attemped to run FCS2, a dialog box came up with indicated that same two problems and then it quit.

Final Cut Pro 2nd monitor not working properly?

Been here before a long time ago, can't remember how it was resolved.
Working in a new edit suite, FCP Studio. Two new Samsung monitors (not my choice). I want one to be my playback monitor.
I set:
Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings
> Digital Cinema Desktop Full Screen
> View > External Video > All Frames
But all I'm getting is a black frame on the 2nd monitor.
They've also got one of those very flat alluminum keyboards ... where F12 becomes a sound control. I'd love to know how I can change the function key to work as an FCP action / 2nd monitor toggling on and off.
That's two questions. Would be most appreciative of an answer for either.

Hey Andy,
I did the first half of your suggestion, but not the second half. Heading down to the studio this morning ... set up in a tiny white chapel looking out across the silvery North Atlantic ... and will try the second half of your suggestion. Will also see if there are two graphics cards installed in the Mac Pro. Will also check out the Window > Arrange in FCP (something I should have checked first off).
I talked to a filmmaker who previously worked on the system, only to discover he never uses the second monitor as a full screen, but rather as a large 'bin'. Interesting.
If worse comes to worse and I can't solve it I suspect I could size the canvas window to super large and drag it over to the second monitor.
Will post back when I've tried the latest suggestions ...
Thanks you mucho guys,
Ben

Final Cut Pro Video Playback not in Widescreen for Anamorphic Material

I have a Panasonic DVX-100B hooked up to my computer and am running Final Cut Pro. I shot everything in the anamorphic squeeze mode. When I play this material back through my camera (which displays the material as widescreen because I forced it on the camera menu) it doesn't playback on the TV in widescreen, it stretches it back out vertically. Is there a setting in Final Cut that will send the signal as a 16:9 signal to the TV, so that it will understand it correctly?

No, FCP does not send out an anamorphic flag via firewire. What I mean is, it sends out the video to your deck simply as 720x480, without telling the deck (and therefore the monitor, as well) if that is supposed to be a 16:9 or 4:3 image. In order to monitor with the correct ratio, you'll need to have a monitor that can correct for aspect ratio.
If you're working on a pro monitor, it should have a 16:9 button (or menu setting, at least). Some recent - as in the last 4-5 years - consumers TVs also have an anamorphic squeeze feature that will compress the image vertically. If you've got a 16:9 TV, you'll need to use the stretch feature (of all things) to correct your preview image.
All that said, I'm guessing you fall into the last camp: you're previewing out to a consumer TV that cannot do vertical compression? If so, your only alternative is to nest your anamorphic sequence in a 4:3 one for preview purposes. Of course, this is needlessly cumbersome (and you run into the dreaded issues with nests failing to update every now-and-then) and requires more CPU horsepower. Either that or edit with the distorted image...
Or are you in a whole 'nother situation?

Ilife Sound Effects and Final Cut Pro Sounds are not appearing in Final Cut Pro X anymore!?

Hello,
I am new to the app Final Cut Pro X. And recently when I have gone into the Music and Sound Folder in final cut pro the option for Ilife Sound Effects and FCPX Sound Effects do not appear. I have read other forums and they have said to drag the sound files into FCPX but that isn't even a option. It onlt has iTunes options, please reply back someone this is stressing me out. I don't know if it is because of Mavericks or whatever but it is driving me insane and I need help!
This is what it looks like .

This is a known issue in FCP X 10.1 and you will find many posts about it in the forum just do a search. Several solutions have worked for different users. Try the following:
1. Open and close GarageBand then relaunch FCP
2. Open and close iPhoto then relaunch FCP
3. Close and reopen FCP
4. Trash FCP preferences then relaunch FCP
Any one of these may work. Just try them in any order. Be aware the problem may recur.

Final Cut Pro X is not importing in full quality?

Hi,
I recently installed Final Cut Pro X and so far I'm really enjoying it.
The only problem is that it's not importing my footage in 1080p. I have the Panisonic NV-GS400 (a tape based camera) which records at full 1080p.
But for some reason it is imported at 720p in Final Cut Pro X.
Please help me as I need to start editing a project soon.
Thank-you

Final cut pro x trial not installing

Ok so when i first got my laptop i tried downloading final cut pro trial but it would always say "invalid checksum" when verifying. it happened multiple times everytime i always tried to install it, until one day I'm not sure what i did that it finally downloaded. i used it until my trial was over so i bought the full version the begininng gf this month. i tried installing it and it would download all the way until it changes to installing and then it says "download failed try downloading again in the purchases page" this has been happening the day since i bought final cut pro. now its been 3 weeks and still nothing works, i have chatted with technicians online and have taken it to the apple store and they keep saying they don't know why final cut pro isn't installing because the laptop is working fine. so anyway i got my refund on it, but now I'm trying to install the trial but it keeps showing up invalid checksum when it verifies it,so i click skip and it will start writing the files but then in the middle it will stop and say " failed to download....contact the developer". honestly i don't know what to do anymore i need this app to do school work and I'm really frustrated that nothing seems to be working. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

Well when i took it to the apple store they ended up restoring the whole computer because it wouldn't update so they ended updating it and they said that final cut pro should download fine now since it was updated. i took it home and tried it but nothing happened. i live quite a while away from the store so i called a technician and they told me to wait a week to see if it would download, i waited a week and still nothing happened. and for the parental controls it says there are no user accounts to be managed so i don't think there is any parental controls. So the technicians at the apple store would be able to install it from the system drives?

Why Final Cut Pro Trial does not save works?

Hello, I downloaded the trial version of Final Cut Pro yesterday. Seems interesting, but does not save any work I do. Does this depend on the fact that it's a ''trial''? thanks (I use a MacBookPro3,1, with OS 10.6.8). Thanks

thanks Ian,
I discovered that the problem comes from a corruption of the desktop database, which I repaired with DiskWarrior. Unfortunately it occurred again, two more times and now, the third, this trick is not working. I realized the projecs files are saved in user>films>Final Cut Projects but I cant't find the way to make FCP recognize ad ''see'' them....

Final Cut Pro X will not open: Asking to "restore windows"???

Hey guys,
I have restarted, updated and done everything I can to get Final Cut Pro X (10.0.1) to open and I keep getting this alert >>> PHOTOBUCKET. I have done nothing new to my hardware or software (other than apples updates) since installing it a month ago from the app store.
The alert keeps asking me to either "Don't Restore Windows" or to "Restore Windows" and I clicked on both numerous times and I still get the "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly" alert which looks like this >>> PHOTOBUCKET after about 10 seconds of selecting either option.
Any ideas? -Joe

Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then if they get corrupted you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
Can't guarantee it, but it's worth a try.

The sample audio files in Final Cut Pro X will not play

How can I hear the sample audio in Final Cut Pro X without dragging the clips onto the timeline. They used to play, but stopped after the computers were connected to Tenaka.

The only way to test it is to go to Network system prefrences and switch off all connections to networking. There are no plugins for FCP that are used for network connections.

Final Cut Pro X does not open

Final Cut Pro X goes through the motions of launching then I a window opens up but doesn't populate with anything...it's just a blank dark grey window. I tried uninstalling (dragging icon to trash) and reinstalling but it didn't work.

Try trashing the preference files.
Lots of different symptoms can be cured by trashing these files, so it should be the first thing you try when FCP behaves strangely in any way.
To do it manually is very simple.
Close FCP X if it is open.
Navigate your way to Users>Library>Preferences
Then make sure the preference folder is in List View and the Name column is selected as this makes it easier to find the 2 files you need to trash.
Drag the 2 files I have outlined in red to the trash.
Click this image to enlarge it for clarity.
Then launch FCP X and it will create new preferences and hopefully it will make things better.
That's all . . . . it won't take a minute and may work wonders.
