Final cut pro crashed and I can't find my project when I reopened it
I did my edit in the timeline. Everything was working great. I got 58 minutes of video edited. THen I went to open one of the transitions - got the beach ball and then FCPX crashed. No problem I thought, I'll just reopen and everything will be back where it was - NOT! I can't find my edit. Arrggghhhh. Can anyone help? I am, obviously, a real newbie to FCPX.
Thanks so much!
Mary
I found it! Thanks anyway! You are all such a big help - just having you out there makes me feel like I can do this.

Can someone please help me?
I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
Can anyone please enlighten me.The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

Since updating my Final Cut to the new 10.1.4....for some reason, my computer does not recognize my camera (Panasonic DVX-100)...I never had this problem before updating. Is there any way to fix this? I can't move forward with my projects until I can footage off my camera. Thanks!

How can I make Final cut pro 7 and Yosemite work?
Hi dear Apple.
I have this huge problem with Final cut pro 7 and Yosemite.
I have tried to install it on a Mac book pro that has Yosemite but it doesn't work.
I have an I mac with finalcut pro 7 working on Lion but I need to upgrade it to Yosemite to be able to use CC Adobe.
I have a feature film worth 6,7 million SEK with Final cut pro 7 and I can't translate it to XML files to premiere cause it is in its last editing process. I get an error everytime I try. Also the last version of Fcp (X) ***** for a professional editor. So.. My only option is to finish this film in Fcp7.
How can I use Yosemite and still be able to keep Fcp7?
Please help me or do something about this issue soon. I bought fcp7 for 11000 SEK at the time that was quite expensive.Hi Meg the dog! Thanx for answering!
I know it was left to die 4 years ago. I just think its ****** up.. I work with documentaries and it takes quite a while to finish. I have done one for 6 years now. If I had known that Fcp7 was left to die I would never had started to edit 6 years ago...
I did try this recommended on the forum by another user:
Go to the app location in finder, CTRL click on the app and choose [Show Package Contents]. A folder [Contents] appears, click on it and choose [MacOS]. You'll see a Unix executable. Double click, you'll start Terminal. At the same time fcp will launch. After fcp is launched, close terminal and confirm when asked. Now fcp is up and running. Close fcp and the next time, just open fcp the normal way. DONE!
But it doesn't work for me. I can't launch fcp7.
I have Fcp7 Installed on my I mac and I wonder if that will effect fcp7 if I upgrade to Yosemte?
I tryed to export XML to work on premiere and this is what happends:
Any recommendations? I am going crazy here.. -
Final cut pro 7 and AVCHD import ?
Just got Final Cut Pro 7 and I can't see wether or not that it is able to import natively Sony AVCHD video. I know its probably just me, so much there to see and learn.
Hi -
In FInal Cut Pro, go to the Help menu and open Final Cut Pro Help.
Once it is open, search for "Working with AVCHD".
The chapter will tell you all you need to know.

Compressor 3.5.3 stalls at end and Final Cut Pro crashes
Compressor 3.5.3 stalls at end and Final Cut Pro crashes I have tried Compressor repair, deleted qmaster files been at for a week now and it is doing my head in. Anyone out there who can help please.
Export your sequence File>Export QuickTime Movie. When you save it make sure Current Settings is selected and that Recompress Frames is not selected.
If that export fails, create a new project, copy the first project's sequence and paste into the Time line of your new project. Then export, following the steps in the first paragraph.
Once you have a self-contained QT movie, import that into Compressor. If you need to down res, turn on Frame Controls and set the resize filter to Best.
BTW, why do you need to down-res to SD?

Can Final cut pro 7 and Final cut X live together
I just spoke to one of my friends who installed Final cut pro X and told me that it basically crushed his version of 7. My idea here was to install final cut X to start learning the new workflow and keep my version of Final cut 7 for compatibility issues. Question is can these two live together on the same machine?
Please note my friend is the type of guy that if he does not see the software icon in the dock it basically does not exist.
Thank you in advance everyoneYou can read the official Apple best practice guide here:

I need to burn a Final Cut Pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn a project just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD? ( oh and how can I finalize the project?) Thanks!
I did that already it it only burned one section of the project. How do I export a master file? Can i just save it on the computer then take it to IDVD? Thank you so much for helping me!

I tought about looking in Monitor Activity to see what happens...
Well, when I start working (should I say try to work with FCPX, activity monitor in the %processor column for FCPX jumps rapidly over 100% and reaches more than 200% ??? What the **** is that ?
200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem. -

i am currently using final cut pro 6 and i have a problem that i can not to do a play out to the dvcam but i can record from the dvcam, can you help please?
I believe there is no "Export to Tape" feature as appeared in legacy FCP.
SORRY! Just noticed you are using FCP 6.
You need to ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum.

Final Cut Pro x and Compressor 992 hour to process
I edited a 1 hour-40 minute video, on Final Cut Pro X and processed using Apple's Compressor.
I have tried different Operating Systems (Mavericks and Mountain Lion) on two different Mac Computers.
IMac 2.8 Mhz and Mac Book Pro (both 2008)
It has been transcoding to create video to run on Apple Devices, for over 6 days now, and it shows that it will take 992 hours to process.
The same video, some months back, with Mountain Lion, took a couple of days to process.
Question: Why is it taking this long now?
I have tried to get a DVD done, different types of output; none have succeeded.
I guess Apple, has made adjustments to their Operating Systems, to basically render this computers inoperable, forcing customers to buy their latest Mac models.
Yes, I went to the "Genius Bar" at Apple (twice), first they told me to increase the memory, which I did; even though months ago I had videos processed without extra memory.
The second time at the "Genius Bar", after I had installed extra memory, they had nothing to say, except that "they had a friend" with the same problem, but after "the friend" bought a new Mac, the problem was resolved.
I called Apple support and was told to "reset PRAM", which I did. Still the problem persists.
Any ideas?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/brankoab/12089286396/You don't mention how much RAM is in your machines, nor what are the versions of FCP X and the OS.
These can make a lot of difference. If you are trying a long export with very little RAM (and I must say 4GB is *very little* RAM), then it can get bogged down tremendously. Do you have at least 8GB?
How much free RAM is reported in Activity Monitor?
Are you using Mavericks or a previous version of the OS? Mountain Lion was notorious for slowing down to a crawl in such circumstances.
Give us more info, so we can better help.
In the meantime, you might consider exporting just a small section of the movie (use I and O to mark an in and an out point in the timeline) and see how fast it goes; keep Activity Monitor open while you are doing it.
