Final cut pro 6 is dropping files, I would like to know how-to set-up storgage free agent ?

I have been unable to successfully edit my videos, I understand about looking in the easy setup, to match the video been edited,. However the FCP tells me that it is not picked properly and if It can pick the proper format. I click yes. it plays through my only-- two clips, but when I add an effect it drops them.    I have a free agent seagate with 449.3 GB of free storage. I would love, appreciate guidence for the setting-up. If this does not work I work like to use the hard-drice on my PC if that is compatable!
I feel as through my computer space is limited. 109.43 GB of free storage on the Mac. 

So I went into system settings, under the scratch disk and set my memory to save in the free agent (external) hard drive. I set my thumbnamil, autosave, all of it on my free agent hard drive. audio, video, all under the (tab) scratch disk, set to save to free agent.

  • I have Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) and would like to change my project settings but I am having trouble finding the 'Modify Settings button.'  Where exactly is it located?

    I have Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) and would like to change my project settings but I am having trouble finding the 'Modify Settings button.'  Where exactly is it located?  Here is the link which gives the instructions but doesn't seem to say where the 'Modify Settings Button' is located: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12526?viewlocale=en_US

    You have to choose – one settigf or another.
    The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
    WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
    Good luck.

  • How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

    How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
    So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

    You don't need to render before export.
    Rendering is for playback.
    If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

  • I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

    I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

    Hi Carsten...good luck with your project.. I had just about as many Video8 & Hi8 tapes as
    you that I digitized and eventually brought into FCPX..took me many months not weeks
    to do so,BTW, as each tape was 60-90 minutes in lenght...and many hundreds of
    gigab ytes of storage ( uncompressed AVI files)..it's tedious work unless you plan to farm
    it out to a processing house...also regarding eventual storage format...remember
    Hi8 is 400 lines or about 540X480 in todays resoultion metrics..you can't make hi-def out
    of source that starts out as 400 lines...in my case I rewrapped the avi files into .mov
    containers and imported the mov files into FCPX where I got rid of the hundreds of
    minutes of Colorado mountain landscapes to get to that one minute shot of the kids
    on horseback  ( late 80's for most of my archives)..so its a job..scouring thru 30X90 min
    of source to not miss those precious memories takes diligence and hard work but its worth
    it; eventually I encode the uncompressed video I want to save in H.264 format Staandard
    Def not HiDef

    When I try sharing to my apple devices from my final cut pro x, I keep getting a "Quicktime Error:-50". How can I fix this?

    You can search the entire internet by putting that error message into google, see what other discussions appear.
    With only the little information you've provided, I'd trash Compressor and download it again from the App Store.
    You could share the timeline out to MPEG2 and then import that into iDVD, if you have it, or Toast.
    Given an hour or three, someone with better suggestions will soon chime in.

  • My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents

    1: when texting, if I tap e.g. the letter T, occasionally 3 or 4 letters T will follow in rapid succession or when the letter T is highlighted to confirm the letter is correct, it will freeze at that point
    . Also, when scrolling through a message thread to find a particular message, sometimes I have no control over stopping at the wanted message - rapid scrolling right back to the first text occurs & often when I then try again, the reverse happens with rapid scrolling (uncontrollably) through the messages to the last message received.
    2: My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents & data' (17.9KB) under 'PREVIEW' is before hitting 'delete'

    No. The attached is the simplest way of modifying it to do as you want. I've
    sped things up a little to make it obvious.

    You already are. You're making the arrays as you go along so only the memory
    needed for the data that's in the plot is in use at any one time. To do it
    without storing
    arrays at all you'd need to keep retrieving the data from
    the XYgraph, adding the new datapoint and writing it back. Messy and I
    suspect incredibly inefficient.
    You're going to use the memory in any case- a better option would be to
    pre-initialise an array and fill it slowly. At the end of each 24 hour block
    zap all the data and start again without destroying and recreating the
    arrays. Or if you're only doing the 24 hour wipes to save memory, simply
    start again at the start of the buffer woithout erasing the previous data
    and you always have 24 hours of data to liik at once the system's running.
    Do a search for keywords like "pre initialise" or "circular buffer" on
    ni.com

  • Final Cut Pro 7 export drops frames

    I exported a video from Final Cut Pro 7 to a Quicktime .mov file.  The file plays fine on a mac, but when I try to play it on a pc it drops frames throughout the video.  I have other .mov files on this pc also exported from fcp7 that play just fine. Please advise.  Thanks.

    If you are talking about the Canvas and Viewer windows... make sure that their size is set at FIT TO WINDOW Top left button in the viewer and canvas window.
    If you are talking about something else, please give us some more details.

  • Final Cut Pro and EditShare - Dropped Frames

    Hey,
    My Company just got a new EditShare File Sharing server. It's a 5 Rack with 24 drives, for a total of 18TB of space. The problem is, when we're trying to capture straight to the ES (which has 8 RAIDS) there are Dropped Frame Errors appearing. We've tried turning the Internet off, and even re-organized the connection preferences so the ES is the first to be refreshed, but we're still having dropped frames. Info:
    Final Cut Pro - 5.1.2
    Capturing from a DVCPRO 50 Deck thru Firewire
    EditShare - 4.0.2
    G5 Mac with OS 10.4.7
    note Didn't get so many dropped frames when using LaCie Drives. Could be connection speed or not enough broadband. Any Suggestions? Thanks.
    FraserPost

    I believe it's fiber, but not sure. We're also checking because the Gigabit switch has 3 settings, 10/100/1000 gigabits, so it could be at a lower setting, and that's causing a backup in the broadband speed. We're also noticing that the transfer rate from our External HDs (which we were capturing to before) to the ES was slower than anticipated.
    Anyone else find this problem with an EditShare or File Sharing server?
    Just checked, it's CAT6 cables.

    Hi Tom

    If I have to use the 1.9.3b8 version of MPEG Streamclip where do I get the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg component from? Do I purchase from apple (will Mavericks let me install?) or is there somewhere else I should get the file from?

  • How do I import my Final Cut Pro 10 (FCPX) XML files into Logic 9?

    I am using 10.0.5. Which is the latest version Of Final Cut Pro X. I export my project out as a XML in FCPX. Then went into Logic 9 clicked on import then selected XML how ever the XML file was grey and Logic wouldn't  come up as a valid XML to import. Please help me! Thanks

    AFAIK Logic 9 can't import the form of XML that FCP X outputs.
    There may be other ways to bridge the gap, but since I don't  use Logic 9 I can't help further.
