Final cut pro has no communication with aja

hi can anyone help me troubleshoot this
i am trying to digitize from a digi beta through an aja into fcp but fcp wont communicate with the deck meaning we have no timecodes? we can digitize
any ideas how to sort this problem?
cheers
simon

you need to connect a remote cable to the deck.
in the capture tool look art device control.
if it says Firewire Pal it means that the computer is trying to control your deck wit the firewire cable - if this is not what you want to be doing then FCP wont control the deck.
You should have a remote cable 9 pin coming from the AJA t the deck - select this option in th device control - think its called aja kona decklink.
then you should get control.
you may have to open/close capture tool and refresh devices.

  • I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started.  There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary.  I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me.  File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter.  The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
    As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card.  Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7.    It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor.   But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
    A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to). 
    This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
    I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message  "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
    HELP.
    Jada.

  • In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

  • Final Cut Pro has stopped loading!!!

    Final Cut Pro has stopped loading!!! - I'm sure this is an easy thing to fix but every time I click on Final Cut Pro, the program begins to load, and at the final hurdle, it stops and returns to the dock as if I had never asked it to load in the first place. I tried to log in under a different account and final cut worked, but only for a while. I tried a previous 'help' tip by deleting the .plist to see if that helped but alas no.
    Thanking you in advance

    Does it crash while the splash screen is up? If so, see what's loading when the crash occurs. There could be something corrupt in your project if it's past the splash screen and you have your preferences set to load the last project on setup. If this is the problem, do some searching here on corruption for some clues.

  • Final Cut Pro X and Macbook with 9400M chip. Has anyone tried it?

    I have a late 2009 Macbook with Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chip. I've got 4 gig RAM installed. Apple lists this chip as working with Final Cut Pro X. Has anyone tried it on a Macbook? Is the performance adequate or should I wait until I get a more powerful laptop?

    Yep, I've got a Macbook with that chipset and it runs FCPX. It's not blindingly quick but it work.

  • My final cut pro has been slowing down unbearably and creating duplicates

    Hi. I have an appointment booked for the end of next week to have my laptop looked at but I was wondering if anyone might know what my issue is.
    I've edited 7 projects on final cut pro 10 and they've all been fine. For some reason every time I closed the program a duplicate of my library was created to the point I had about 100 files. So when I started work on an eighth project, the program was running unbearably slow and my start up disk was full. I deleted all the duplicates but it is still running slow to the point it can't really be used, and it is still creating duplicates every time I close the program. It's also telling me my start up disk is full even though I've just deleted about 100 files and emptied them from the trash.
    Another thing, I'm using an external hard drive for this project so I haven't added any new heavy files onto the computer. They're all on the hard drive.
    It's a bit vague but basically how can I avoid it creating duplicates and has anyone else experienced this problem, as to why it's so slow. It may be an actual software issue in which case I'll find out next week. But in the mean time...
    Thanks
    Tom

    Thanks everyone for responding. I've actually been away from my computer for the whole weekend so haven't been looking at this forum that I only posted on Friday morning. Actually had a heck of a lot else to deal with this weekend so maybe Innocentius and Russ I'd appreciate if you'd keep your rather irritating remarks to yourself. It's been two days.
    I'm using Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. The system is OS X 10.9.2.
    I've attached a screen shot of the details of my computer and a shot of final Cut Pro. It's actually got to the point where I can hardly open final Cut pro because the whole computer seizes up as soon as it gets turned on.
    It took five attempts and several hours to export the last project I did, kept saying the start up disk was full despite the fact I deleted whole folders of videos and then tried again. I'm not sure it's the computer but more the program.
    Any help much appreciated. I am busy though and not always quick with my responses.

  • Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 and AJA Kona LH card...

    Hello,
    I just installed the AJA Kona LH PCI-X HD capture card in the G5 2 Ghz dual.
    I configured it, but when I go to the "System Settings - effects handling" of Final Cut Pro HD 4.5, I read that all the effects can only be handled by "Final Cut PRO HD": if I click on the selection menu, the only other available heading is "none": no AJA KONA!
    This is for all the formats list (DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, DV - PAL, etc...).
    So every think I do, FCP must render, and time flows...
    Can you help me?
    Thank you very much.

    But we got this card especially for this reason: hardware acceleration.
    I read that it has got this feature in this page:

    I don't know more.

  • Final Cut Pro 5.x compatible with Leopard?

    Sorry if this has been asked loads of times but I could not find the posts here.
    Does anyone know if Final Cut Pro 5.x and DVD Studio Pro 4.x are compatible with Leopard?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I don't know what terms you ** SEARCHED **
    But the list referenced above (click on the term searched) has quite a few.
    If you work with FCP/ Logic/ ProTools, etc in any professional capacity, you may want to wait until the fallout settles. This is especially true if you use 3rd party cards & drivers. Otherwise, get a new drive and install everything from scratch.

  • HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

    Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM 
    found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
    So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

    Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures:  LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...

  • How to install Final Cut Pro on 2 computers with a multiple user license

    Our church purchased a multiple user copy of Final Cut Pro, and the music minister who bought it downloaded it onto his computer.  I need to get a copy onto my computer - but he doesn't know what I need to do to get a copy onto mine.  Do I have to have him log into ITunes on my computer to download it  - or is there just a file that downloaded onto his that I can get - or what?  I have seen some discussion of their being certificates for using it that he should have received - but he doesn't remember if he has anything.  Any assistance here would be appreciated - in the Final Cut Pro site it is very unclear.  Thanks in advance.

    I don't know what the procedure is to download it from Apple but you can speed things up by simply copying the FCP X  app across to your computer using either a hard drive or memory stick.

  • Final Cut Pro has quit on me.

    Very abruptly this evening, I was unable to open Final Cut Pro at all. Same with Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, and Motion. I don't know what could have caused it. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks in advance.

    One thing I didn't notice in the other posts, but did you do any upgrading of operating system or applications recently?
    If you did, you might want to make you are current with the proapps, etc.
