Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 problems importing 12fps movies

I open an Image Sequence in QuickTime Pro 7 and save it as a movie at 12 fps.
I import that movie into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 in a sequence with timebase of 24fps.
Problem : the first frame of the movie appears only on 1 frame instead of 2, and the last frame appears on 3 frames instead of 2.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
My work around is to make a 1 frame Freeze Frame of the first frame and add it at the head of the movie and then delete the third copy of the final frame. It's a tiresome work around though because I'm making animated films and have hundreds of these clips to bring in to Final Cut.

Sharon, very sorry, I apparently have mislead you. Still sequences I do in Motion. There may be other ways of grabbing still sequences. The exported movie relies on frame rate of the composition.
After Effects does it, too.
after effects help entry: Change the frame rate of a sequence
When you import a sequence of still images, it assumes the frame rate specified by the Sequence Footage preference in the Import category. The default rate is 30 frames per second (fps). You can change the frame rate after importing by reinterpreting the footage item:
Select the sequence in the Project panel, choose File > Interpret Footage > Main, and then enter a new value for Assume This Frame Rate.

  • Quicktime 7.5 and Final Cut Pro is there a problem?

    Quicktime 7.5 and Final Cut Pro is there a problem with this version of Quicktime?
    i cant capture at all now! I can control my camera but no capture or footage in the window?
    I can capture using IMovie fine!

    Alister, there's no problem with it on my Mac, nor none that I know of ... I think you must have an install specific issue.
    Check your camera setting matches your currently chosen Easy Setup ... in fact, close the Log and Capture window, then go ahead and re-choose the appropriate Easy Setup for your camera and I/O hardware, then choose View menu > Refresh A/V Devices, and then reopen Log and Capture ...
    ... still no go? if not then post pack with complete details of your hardware and software, your camera, the recording format, any I/O equipment that is in the mix etc.

  • 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.

  • I have been using Final Cut pro v6 without any problems but recently had to reinstall.  Since then I can't open and view all my Quicktime clips.  They appear white in timeline which means you can hear audio but not view picture.  Any tips?

    I have been using Final Cut Pro without any problems - v6 - for ages.  I recently had a hardware issue and had to reinstall the software.  Since then I can't open most of my QT clips in my fcp project.  They appear as white clips - audio only no pictures.  There are a few QT clips you can view as regular thumbnail images and they play ok.  What's the issue?  I have fcp v6.0.6 and QT v7.  Any thoughts on what to do next?

    Yes I did software updates which updated fcp to 6.0.6 and QT to version 7.7.  That's as far as updates have taken me although i have requested daily updates.  I forgot to say the clips don't play in QT view either.  Again sound but no pictures when they are played.

  • Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 problems with LiveType & uninstall/reinstall missingCD

    Hi there. I am actually crossing my fingers hoping that people can help me with this issue of mine.
    I have been using full version of FCP HD 4.5 for a long while then I moved from an apt to a new apt, then I realized some of my previous FCP projects would not opened. After a long while figuring out what was the problem, and I realized if any of my projects that contain any LiveType project, my projects will not open. Why? I have no idea why? I am hoping someone might have the answer for this.
    So... I thought I would uninstall and reinstall everything, then I realized I might have misplaced my Final Cut install CD Luckily, I didn't delete the FC, so I decided to leave it on my hard drive. I went ahead and reinstall the rest, but I noticed LiveType doesn't show up at all except I was able to see LiveType Data. I couldn't see/find the LiveType Icon except the folder of LiveType Data. My another question is... was I supposed to have a LiveType installation CD along with the LiveType Data CD or that was the only installation CD I'm supposed to have? I thought I still have the list of items that Im supposed to have that came in the FCP HD 4.5 box... apparently, that is misplaced!
    Can anyone answer my questions--
    1. Why my FCP projects would not opened because of problems with LiveType & what is the problem?
    2. Was I supposed to have a LiveType installation CD along with the LiveType Data CD or that was the only installation CD I'm supposed to have?
    3. Is there a specific order that I am supposed to install FCP HD? Like I should install FCP first, then Motion 2nd, LiveType 3rd, & so forth? If so, please share it with me
    4. Can anyone please share with me on what installation CDs I was supposed to have from FCP HD 4.5? I want to make sure I have everything, which I know I do not, or I can look for specific CD(s).
    This is what I have (they may be for other program that I must have mixed it all together)--
    1. Final Cut Pro HD HD Sampler (obviously that is NOT the actual FCP HD 4.5 installation CD, right?)
    2. Motion Install
    3. Motion Content
    4. Apple Loops for Soundtrack
    5. DVD Studio Pro 3
    6. Live Type Data (1 of 2)
    7. Live Type Data (2 of 2)
    8. Peak 3 Express
    Any suggestions or answers will be SO MUCH appreciated!
    Thank you for taking the time to read this and answer my questions if you can

    Thank you, Nick.
    Shoot. That means I did misplaced my FCP installation disk!
    I still don't understand why my FCP projects that contains LiveType wouldn't opened! I need to get most of them opened! Argggghhh.
    I am curious ... is there any other program similar to LiveType (like creating exciting texts) that I can use to work with FCP?
    Lemme know! Thanks

  • Final Cut Pro 7 Sound Card Problem...

    Hello,
    Im not really sure how to even explain my problem but Im going to try because Im going nuts over here.
    I just bought a mbox 2 mini and am using it as a soundcard. Usually everything works fine but sometimes when in FInal Cut Pro 7 the sound drops out completely and my speakers become silent with the exception of a "put...put...put...put..put" sound. Gradually gets softer until it dissapears...and then it gets loud again and repeats.
    Any ideas?

    If your audio track has something other than a 48 Khz sampling rate, it will just beep beep on playback until you render it. I never heard it fade out and then get louder though -- possibly because I know exactly why it's doing that and never listened long enough??
    I guess you will either have to wait for someone that also uses that device to read your post or mail their support people directly.

  • Final cut pro rendering and exporting problem

    I imported all the video files from my DVD into Final Cut Pro.....and then when I brought them into Timeline...it asks for rendering..even when i did that it is taking too long to be rendered.....also when I put that from 'Safe Rt' to 'Unlimited RT' then it is showing error of dropped frames......so what SETTINGS and PREFERENCES should i use in Easy setup so that this error doesnt occur...and also I dnt have to render the complete DVD videos files of around 2-3 hours in it....Also when I made a new sequence I kept the setting as DV Pal 24 fps.....so which setting should i use????

    Sounds like when you converted the footage from the DVD, you converted to the wrong format, or the wrong specs.
    With DVD VOB files, normally one would use MPEG Streamclip (freeware) to convert the VOB files to QuickTime DV/DVCpro with AIFF audio at 48khz, 16 bit.  In FCP you'd use the DV/DVCPro Easy Setup.

  • Final cut pro print to tape problem

    So i needed to print this news package on a tape, when i go to do it, all seems well until i play it back. all i see is black screen. We use firewire to a jvc mini dv tapedeck and mac book pro with fcp 7.03. Need help greatly.

    Make sure your camera is getting a signal...
    #8 External Monitor Viewing.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • Final cut pro audio missing from clip once i move it from viewer to canvass?

    hi i'm new to final cut pro 7, when i play my video in the viewer i can hear the audio loud and clear however when i'm move it to the canvass and play it in the time line the audio is gone? can someone pls help me

    Probably best to ask this questio in the FINAL CUT STUDIO forum and not the FCPX forum, BUT -- since you're here...
    Make sure that the AUDIO PATCHES are connected to the timeline... those are the pluggy arrow type looking things on the left side of the timeline.  With the clip in the viewer window add it into the timeline.  Audio should come with it.
    Or - do you already SEE the audio tracks on the timeline and you just can't hear it?  (if that's the case, try opening the audio mixer and making sure the master volume is up.
    Good luck,

  • Final Cut Pro footage and Canon 5D import

    I am able to drag footage from Canon 5 D Mark 111 media card directly into Final Cut 7.  Previously I remember compressing footage, why does one compress footage, the total media is 8 GB.
    Thanks
    Catherine

    FCP doesn't work well with the native files that camera shoots. Unfortunately is APPEARS like it will, but it won't. Yeah, it'll import fine, and you might begin editing fine, but things will pop up, like a sluggish system, loss of sync while editing, loss of sync when trying to export.
    Do not cut the native H.264 MOV files the camera shoots with. FCP demands FCP editing codecs, and the one you want is ProRes 422. You'll need to use COMPRESSOR for this, as Log and Transfer doesn't support the 5D Mark III.  Now, the bad news is that that 8GB of footage will become about 32-40GB...because the format you are converting to has a higher data rate.  This is unavoidable, if you plan on using FCP 7.  Premiere Pro will cut this format natively...and FCX can, but FCX does still want to "optimize" the media, and by that it means convert to ProREs.
    Gotta convert to ProRes 422 before you import the footage.

  • Final Cut Pro - Freeze and Display Problem

    When I try to render something in Final Cut, it renders for a few minutes but then the system freezes. I can still vaguely make out a dock and menu bar and final cut windows, but it's all pixelated and distorted. There are some black I can still move the mouse around (which is also distorted) but nothing happens when i click stuff. Has anyone else experienced this? Could this be a problem with my graphics card? (I bought my iMac new November 2007)
    I've got FCS 2 and have installed all of the updates.

    Is this a new, recent problem?
    Or has this been the case since you installed it on your iMac?

  • Final Cut Pro 5.1 plugin problems

    I have tried to transfer all of my plugins from 4.5 to 5.1 and they will not work. I checked permissions, i put them in Mac Hd-library-application support-fcp support-plugins as where they should be and it doesnt load any of them. I have a lot too. I just dont understand why they dont work? Can anyone give me an idea and or solution to this problem?

    To all who may have had or may have this same problem in the future here is how I finally resolved my issue: After reinstallation of both system and application software, the trashing of preferences and receipts. I spoke w/ apple support and they suggested rebooting PRam (optApple+pr at start, hold until second start up chime). after doing this my audio capture problem was resolved. Hope this helps any of you in the future.
