Final Cut Pro issues with 10.5!

I realize this is a FCP issue but it's attributed directly to Leopard v10.5. We're not getting any answers over at the FCP Discussion pages. There is much more to these issues than I have written up. Wanted to keep it vague so as not to clutter this Discussion with un-necessary banter. Hopefully someone at Apple will notice this???
These issues are costing a lot of editors a ton of money!
When importing video/audio from P2 cards the clips will load but not import to internal/external drive. There is an error ! that gives no reason for the error. The only way to ingest video/audio is through a long and tedious method that completely takes away the reason the P2 workflow exists. When ctrl clicking a dissolve on the end of a clip that goes to black, the actual effect does not appear on the main monitor. The only way to make the dissolve work is to individually render it (even though you don't have to it's a real time effect). You can do a manual dissolve with the pen tool.
Both these breaks/bugs/issues cost post production a ton of time which translates into a ton of our livelihood. Can anyone at Apple help? When is the next software update coming and will it have the FCP Studio 2 fixes?
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean the interface crashes but the program carries on running? Do the windows just disappear?
Also, if it happens on a lot of programs, it is an indication that something is screwed up on your whole system and I know people hate hearing this but it is at this point that you should consider doing an Erase and Install of your operating system.

Update the software. There is no reason to run a two year old version.

Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.

Final cut pro crashing with slide show photos

I am working with a large slide show - a few movie clips, but mostly still images from Aperture. The photos were shot wtih a Nikon D300 in Raw, not that I think that matters much at all.
Becasue this is a slide show I am working wth short durations for the images - usually 3:14. Most of the transitions are simply cross dissolve, but some are more complex.
I am getting again and again crashes - or the spinning color circle going to oblivion and requiring a Force Quit.
Either can happen when adding new material, moving arround existing material, or trying to reset durations, add text, different transitions, or working wth the Ken Burns options. Sometimes it also happens when resizing the time line zoom level.   This marvelous feature seems the most consistent way of trashing the application so I tend to leave it alone.
I may be able to work for an hour or only a few minutes. Sometimes deleting and re-adding an image seems to help, but that may not be true - most of the time it's just simply random.   The system has 14 Gig Ram and I am using iCleanMemory now to see how much is in play. A crash / freeze may occur with a lot or a little - usually looks like I have about 8.9 Gig in play for normal use of Final Cut and no clear change when it crashes / freezes.
Clearly the images are compatible - they are from Aperture and there is no consistency in always the same image being the issue.
Below is the first part of the error report dump.
Hoping someone has an idea for how to overcome this.
Appreciate the thoughts.
Cheers -
Dan

objc[1012]: garbage collection is OFF

Well, I filmed many of those videos in HDV (the 2x2 wall, the 5x5 wall and some of the 10x10 wall). Plus I converted the whole project to HDV because it is the way I displayed it (thru camera to Plasma TV's) and I wanted the HD space to work with and since part of my videos were HDV I figured that would be best.
Of course the DV footage is not so good quality, but when made very small for that big screen it looks fine I think. Yeah the AIC codec is great but it takes 4 times as much room, but you think that would work better hey?
I just don't want Final Cut crashing like that. I don't care if it can't play it back in real time or it takes 10 seconds to display 1 frame.
I have not used motion....would it work for what I did. Remember I used over 100 discreet video streams I had. I don't want to replicate the same layer...you get the drift.
Did you see it in youtubes HD? What did you think of the quality?

Final Cut Pro issues in Lab environment

Ok so this one has me completely buggered.
I manage about 6 Mac Pros in a small TV Studio/Editing lab at a university. The Mac Pros are managed with an Xserve running server 10.6.2, using Open Directory for account management. All network accounts use a network Home folder, so any machine can use the same account and settings. The same server also manages a 25 machine iMac lab environment.
Each semester, we wipe the Mac Pros clean an reinstall the OS and Final Cut Studio. Last semester, the Mac Pros were upgraded to 10.6, and Studio 3 and we had no issues. This semester, a fresh installation of 10.6 was installed, as well as fresh Studio 3.
Now this is the problem we are having. Final Cut Pro 7 will not correctly create .fcp project files when users are logged in with their network server accounts. If you save the project to the desktop, or anywhere else in the Home folder, it creates a .fcp file, seemingly normal. But after the project is closed, the .fcp will not open again. Further more, a quick file size check shows the .fcp files are zero KB. Opening with Textedit shows an empty document, not even a single bit of data shows up.
But, Final Cut Pro 7 will create .fcp files perfectly fine on the local disk, or firewire drives. Local accounts also work fine. This problem only happens on network homes.
This is severely hampering the workflow for students using these editing stations, as they can't use their network home folders to save any data in Final Cut.
The strangest part, is it worked fine last semester. The same machines were running 10.6 and Studio 3, and the server has not been changed at all.
Any clues?

No problem Tom!
I didn't checked before but i solved thanks to your post... for some strange reason, the French language that i don't use, appeared in my language preference pane. I just added the English, and moved/deleted the French after it and FCP became English again!

Export to Blu-ray from Final Cut Pro 7 with LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray

Hi all
I've got an iMac with Snow Leopard and I'm editing HD video in Final Cut Pro 7. I've created AVCHD discs on DVD to play in my Blu-ray player but now I want to create Blu-rays that will play in a regular Blu-ray player.
Has anyone got any experience of using the LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray Re-Writer with FCP 7? I've checked other posts and it seems one user has had success with an earlier LG Model.
Basically if I connect this drive and use the Final Cut Blu-ray export option in share, will I be able to burn a playable Blu-ray?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi I have one of those drives too .. I use FCP to edit export the movie using 'current settings' and then import that movie Compressor .. alternative I also have Toast with the Blu-Ray plugin .. it gives a nice menu template and works well. http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/plugin/overview.html

Final Cut Pro sluggish with G-Speed drives

We are having major problems with our Final Cut Pro system. We are running 6.01 on a dual 3.0 Ghz Intel with 8 gigs of ram. We have two G-Speed running of off SCSI. Whenever the scratch disk is set to one of the drives Final Cut Pro can barely open a project. Any ideas? I think we need to rebuild the system to truly troubleshoot this but if anyone has any advice that would be great.
Thanks!

With the G-Speed drives still mounted we tried running a job from the G-Raid that our client's project came in on and we had the same trouble we were having with the G-Speed. Since we are only working with DVCPROHD we thought it wouldn't be a problem but we still encountered a slow open.
When we first started the project we copied the files from the G-Raid to the G-Speed drives. We then copied the project file to the desktop and first encountered a slow open.
The project did open faster by accessing the project file from within the folder where the files were located on the G-Speed. For some reason that worked better.
I will see if moving the thumbnail cache helps our FCP woes.

Final Cut Pro / problem with old Audio Units effects

Hello,
Has anyone encountered this problem in Final Cut Pro:
I had a set of Waves plugins, but I installed a new set of them and deleted the old ones + preferences and anything connected to them.
When I start Final Cut, the program is asking "Where is Waves plug-ins folder?" and it is searching for my old waves folder...
I tried to look in the manual and in the program's pull down menus, but there's no answer offered..
I can get the program running though, if i click "cancel" for each of the waves plugins that used to be in the old folder.
Any experiences? Help much appreciated,
Eero

Archiving projects would certainly be a good idea. Unfortunately, I am editing a project which is the collaborative effort of a host of volunteers who made hundreds of shots spread across events that need to be kept available throughout the editing process. So, yes, we are pushing the application past reasonable limits. Still, the project is good fun.
As an experienced editor (Media100, FCP4-7, Premiere Pro), I would have been happier to have been able to continue along the FCP7 path. FCPX is not my cup of tea, apparently, even though, by now, I have become rather familiar with the application. FCP7 was quicker, more stable (yes) and gave me infinitely better control. Or at least a much better "sense of control" so as not to offend any supporters or fans of the new application. So that's just my personal opinion.
But I must admit that it is impressive to see how easy and enjoyable Apple has made it for even absolute beginners in video editing to put something decent together without much explanation or training. I have seen this with a few of the volunteers I am working with on this project. FCPX certainly has its merits, therefore, but you are absolutely right in your comment. We must try to keep our active (and actually mounted) "Final Cut Projects" and "Final Cut Events" folders small, setting aside those which do not necessarily have to be available in separate "parking" folders. For the next project (in general language, not FCPX jargon), I will bear this in mind myself. Cheers.
Best Regards, Huib

Final Cut Pro Compatability with OS 10.4 Tiger - Easy Question

Right now I am cutting a feature film on Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD, OS Panther (10.3.9). As soon as I'm done with this project, I'd like to upgrade to OS 10.4 because I will be cutting a new feature in HDV (24p footage using HDVxDV to digitize and convert to DVCPRO HD).
My question is this...does Final Cuto Pro 4.5 work in OS 10.4? Or do I HAVE TO get the Final Cut Pro 5 upgrade in order for FCP to work in Tiger?
Thanks for the help.
PowerMac G5, 2gHz, 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9) 500 GB G-RAID x4, Canopus ADVC-110, Sony DSR-45
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I switched because I wanted to use the MultiCam, plus for the integration with Shake (which I use extensively) and in the bigger picture, I wanted Motion 2 over Motion 1, so it made sense to upgrade to Final Cut Studio.
But if you're looking for any BIG changes in the user interface or effects, etc, don't mess with your smooth functioning system. FCP 5 introduced a new RT system that causes interruptions in playback during shuttling when the mouse is moved and from general anecdotes is just not as smooth as in prior revs.
For me, I'm happy I upgraded, but if it doesn't bring you any features you're looking for, you should probably stay with the system you're happy with.

IMovie shared drive events - Final Cut Pro Issue

I've been trying to import my imovie events into Final Cut Pro X - couple of problems so far.
1. My events on the mounted shared drives don't get imported
2. When I look to save new events I only have the mac HD as the save location - doesn't show the external drive
Oddly enough on both of the above, the events show up in iMovie as events on the shared drive, and I am allowed to share new events onto the external shared drive.
Any advice on what I can do?

Hi - still have this issue - sorry but has anyone been able to get around this?
Here is a smiley face for your troubles..

Final Cut Pro 5 with OSX 10.5.8

Will Final Cut Pro version 5 work with OSX 10.5.8?
Thanks...

As mentioned above, if your copy of FCS includes FCP 5.1.x you can update the included versions of Qmaster and Compressor to 2.3.1 via Software Update. Then, and +only then+, will everything work.
If your FCS contains only FCP 5.0.x you will need to upgrade or stick with Mac OS X 10.4.
Note that if you decide to upgrade FCS that the latest version is Intel only. You might be able to find a copy of FCS with FCP 5.1 or FCS 2 on ebay or similar.

Why can't I purchase Final Cut Pro x with my iTunes card?

I bought 3 iTunes cards ( $100 each = $300 total) to buy Final Cut Pro and for some reason the system is not letting me buy it

Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.
