Final Cut Pro 6 - Can't set Dissolve Transition longer than :00;25

I'm new to FCP and I can't find any information on this issue. Is there a setting that would prevent me from extending the time for this transition?

I have final cut pro 7 can i upgrade to the new pro x or it has to be a fresh installation

i have final cut pro 7 can i upgrade to the new pro x or it has to be a fresh installation

There is no upgrade. It's a separate application.

I have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default specification and i feel some slow performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest?

i have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default configuration and i feel lack of performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest i could do on my Mac Pro ?

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

Mac App store and Final Cut Pro X can a single Apple account purchase 3 separate copies of Final Cut X? Also how do we allow our editors to update FCPX, but not have access to the credit card?

I work for a medium sized compand 400+ people. We have a 3 person video crew. How does our company start an Apple account that will allow us to purchase three separate copies of Final Cut Pro X, but not allow us access Credit Card info, but still allows us to update purchased software? Surely Apple cators to small businesses needing multiple lisences. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

I would assume that since your company has a video department, it probably also has an IT department. Have them set up the needed account(s) and download from the App Store for you.
You should also contact Apple about a mulit-seat licensing arrangement, but those usually involve 25 seats or more.
Apple doesn't really cater to small businesses ... or any business group in particular. They primarily cater to the consumer market.

Lost one of my Final Cut Pro Discs - Can support help me?

Hi,
Just got a new macbook pro and am installing a copy of Final Cut Studio 2 on it. (Previously had an old G5 where I installed studio)
It's a registered, official copy of Final Cut Studio 2 (Academic) and I can't seem to find 2 of my discs. Is there anything support can do for me? Or am I screwed?

Give Apple care a call and plead your case. Their number is included with the documentation that came with the software. Only they can send you replacement disks.
If you purchased it from a store, having the information about where you purchased the software including a receipt would probably be useful. If you bought it used from a person, I'd say you have a much lower chance for relief.
Good luck.

Final Cut Pro X: Can't find project I was working on after closing the program

Recently, I was working on a video in Final Cut, and I had to close it to do something. When I re-opened it, the project I was working on was not there. I have tried looking for folders storing the project, and have found nothing. Any suggestions?

Are you sure you were working on a project, and not editing in one clip's own timeline? This is a pretty common mistake.

Final Cut Pro 6 dip to colour dissolve

i recently saw a documentary shot on HD which used colour flashes as transitions (similar to dip to colour in FCP). The colours used resembled the rainbow and created the same look as 35mm (the end of film stock)
Can anybody advise me on how to create and authentic white film flash transition.
i have tried using dip to colour dissolve, but could not achive the desired effect.
As as reference: a similar thing can be seen in Coldplay's Viva La Vida (look out for whit flashes)
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Thanks Captain M
my bad, i meant "Violet Hill"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IakDItZ7f7Q
this should give a better demostration.
the effect i wish to achieve is the kind you very often see on 35mm footage (as seen in "violet hill".
i wish to create this kind of effect in a music video i'm editing.
the style of the music video is desaturated colours with high contrast.
by gradients, what do you mean? i'm not that experienced with FCP.
do you perhaps know where one can download FCP effect/transition plug-ins?
Thanks again for your help.

Final Cut Pro X freezing when I stack transitions?

I'm trying to place transitions on images that are stacked in my timeline, however every time I try to put a transition on the 5th image, final cut refuses to render the small transition and freezes. I've restarted the computer, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Final Cut, but nothing seems to work.
One thing that fixes the issue is if I'm quick enough to delete the transition before it freezes, the problems stops and I can use Final Cut normally, but the second I try to place the transition, it freezes up again.
I'm on a 2012 iMac 27" with the basic specs. Many videos have been edited on this without any issues so I know it can handle what I'm attempting to do, especially as I've done it many times before.
Is there anyway to resolve the issue? And it seems to be with the transition "scale" at the beginning of the image seen below. I placed "Cross Dissolve" on all of the images at the beginning and end; they all rendered properly and could use final cut without any issues
(There's a video as the base/main file on the timeline, then images that are stacked over the video file. There is cross dissolve at the end of each image and scale transition at the beginning of each image)

I can't make a transition longer than 1 second

I have a simple project in FCP X 10.0.6, with a fade-to-black transition at the end of a clip (followed by black generator). I now want to lengthen that fade-to-black, but I can't. It's one second long, and I can make it shorter, but I can't lengthen it, no matter which way I try to do it. Any ideas? Thanks!

Okay, so why can't I make that fade to black longer than one second? I don't mean that I want black to last longer than one second. I mean I want the fade to take more time. It lets me make it shorter, but not longer.

Final cut pro x can't find project anymore

Hello,
I cut a project yesterday. Now I can't open it anymore. My timeline is displayed in red like this:
I tried to rename the project, copy it on the hard drive and import it again - it's impossible on any Mac.
Thanks for your help.

So right now the files on my hard drive are not being displayed because I am copying of it to another hard drive.
Before I was able to connect some of the files, not every clip although it is saved on my hard drive and wasn't removed or renamed.
I am not using proxymedia.

HT4926 If I download Final Cut Pro X, can I move it or re-download it to a new machine later?

If I download FCP X, can I move it to another machine later? I'm thinking of buying a new machine, but don't want to wait until then for the software.

Yes, FCP X is completely self-contained and you can copy it onto a memory stick, SD card or hard drive and put it on any computers you own.
It's worth keeping a copy on a DVD or SD card in case you ever "lose" your normal one as it's much quicker than downloading from the AppStore.

Final cut pro. Can't open from another drive.

I added a new SSD drive to my computer so that I could take my FCP projects and speed up the rendering time, etc. Now that I have it, I can't seem to bring the projects from my old drive to the new one.
Any ideas?

I am running Mountain Lion V 10.8.2 on a MacbookPro 15", v8,2.
I installed a 480G SSD into the main drive and took the old Apple 750 drive and using a data doubler put it into the Optical drive. I then cloned the new drive. I copied FCP across but didn't clone the projects, thinking that I would keep that information on the other drive and use it as needed. When I first tried to boot up FCP from the SSD drive, it crashed. I then booted up the FCP on the 750 drive and it booted no problem. I shut it down and then tried booting again from the FCP on the SSD and it opened no problem. I figure that by booting on the 750 drive it added the copy protection to the FCP on the SSD drive. I then used the Apple instructions on how to erase FCP from a drive. I trashed the FCP on the 750 drive and then trashed the library files that were in the instructions.
So now I can boot up the FCP from the SSD drive. When I look for projects, it sees the projects on the 750 drive. The projects are slightly shaded and when I try to click on them nothing happens. If I try to boot up from the project file it opens and tells me to open the projects from within FCP.
I am going to trash the FCP and re-install it from the apple store and see if that helps. Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated. I am trying to avoid starting over in my edits.
Thanks,
Dug

I have a problem with Final Cut Pro, I can't find my existing events and project anymore!

Can give somebody me how I can solve this problem?

Can we asssume that you upgraded to 10.1 and created those projects and events in an earlier version of FCP X?
Or is there more to the story?

I am thinking of swapping to FInal Cut Pro X. Can I get away with buying a 2010 Mac Pro to use?

Would you recommend eight or twelve cores? Is the speed that important? How much memory? I read so much conflicting information. Sites that say anything over eight cores isn't worth it. Or you should only use six outof the eight memory slots. Or a single 3.33 quad core is better than 2.4 with eight cores.
I will be editing 1920x1080 60p either 35Mbps MPEG4 or 28Mbps AVCHD. Typically a single camera. Sometimes a multi camera shot.
I thought I would ask the Apple forum. I have read the minimum requirements for the software. But I know it is better to talk to people that actually use the product.

For what your editing and with only a single avchd camera, I would go for fewer cores and a higher cpu.
A 12 core would be overkill and would probably give you slower performance in tasks not directly related to export rendering.
A 4 core 3.33 quad core is absolutely faster than a 8 or even 12 core 2.4 in all tasks that don't use many cores. And Most tasks don't. But if given a choice, I prefer a six or eight core rather than a 4 core and would recommend enough memory and the highest cpu you could afford.
16 gigs or more of memory should be good and remember the graphics card. FCP X really takes advantage of the newer OpenCL cards that were recently released for Mac from ATI and Nvidia.

Final Cut Pro 7 exporting adds frames before transitions.

When I export a movie from my sequence the movie adds one or two blank black frames before the transition starts. It does not happen when I render the video out and watch it (preview). It only happens when I export the movie. There are NO breaks in my time code and every video has plenty if handles on either side. Any ideas on how to fix this or why it is happening would be greatly appreciated!
Key Points - Only happens when I export the movie and never when I am previewing it. There are NO breaks in my time code.
-Martin

Thanks, it was actually a mixture of your two questions let allowed me to figure the issue out. I was exporting it at 25FPS while the sequence setting was at 30FPS. I bumped up the export setting to the 30FPS and it plays through the transitions just fine.
It was a user error! :-D
Thanks guys.
