Final cut pro keyboard layout issue

Hi everybody, and thanks for your help.
I'm Italian, working in Italy, using fcp 6.0.5 with MacOSX 10.6.2 on a laptop and 10.5.x on a Mac Pro, and on both my computers I had big problems because fcp can't match with the Italian keyboard layout without some time-losing operations, that once completed, brought back fcp to normal use... lately (in the last week) this new layout I created (and saved, having to reload it EVERY time I launch fcp) started not working anymore, on both my computers, and keyboard shortcuts are almost not usable anymore. You can easily imagine what does this means in therms of time-losing and focus on the project.
Now, I'm wondering how is this possible.
I understand (but hardly accept) that Apple's top level editing software is not immediately compatible with a non-USA keyboard, but this new problem is really disappointing me. And because this is happening on TWO different computers in the same arc of time, well, this makes me think it's not depending from my operating.
Does anyone else is having the same problem lately?
I had some other reason to start thinking to move to another editing software (but more expensive), and this new issue is giving me a new reason to make the big step. But honestly, I would prefer remaining on fcp, I'm still (but I don't know for how long yet) proud to be an Apple user, even if when 15 years ago I had my Apple Macintosh maiden flight Apple was the most safe machine my hands could touch. Please, back to the future.
Thank you,
and forgive me for the last part of this email, maybe a little off-topic.
But maybe better complaining at home that doing it outside.
best regards,
Stefano Bianchi.

Hi Nick, and thanks.
Unluckily I've already knew about this option, but no result. Some tools work, some others (like zoom in/out) not.
Anyway, this would switch my system language from italian into english, not big problem, but not very professional from Apple, leaving a bug like this.
If there were technical reasons for which international keyboard layouts are not released from Apple, and you (or someone else) knew about them, may you please explain me? Knowledge will help me to revaluate Apple's operate.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.
Stefano.

My Final Cut Pro X rendering issue

Hi,
I'm new to using Final Cut Pro X and was hoping someone could help me with the issue I'm experiencing.
My Final Cut Pro X keeps rendering. As soon as I open up the application it just renders and I can’t do anything. It won’t move past 4%. I've rebooted my Mac five times already. I've recently uploading videos to the timeline (the last time I logged on) and it's 22 minutes.
How can I fix this issue? I have plenty of space on my Mac's hard drive.
If anyone could help, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alicia

I can see that Innocentius replied, but can't see the reply. So this may be redundant to his post.
When you import media, you are given many options – to copy to events, to optimize, to analyze, and so forth. Which options did you elect?
What kind of media are you using? And if it came from a camera, describe how yoi brought it into FCP.
If you hot Command-9, it will open the Background Tasks window. What does it indicate is going on? Better yet, post a screenshot of the window.

Final Cut Pro Upgrade Licence Issues

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can advise .
I had an old version of Final Cut Pro and recently bought the upgrade , which I installed successfully.
Then, seeing that I had a whole new box of manuals, in a moment of madness, I threw away the old box . In doing so, I have thrown away my old licence.
So now if I ever need to re-instal Final Cut Pro , or instal it on my laptop (it is only installed on my desktop) , I have no licence key for the original ( which I must instal before the upgrade ) .
Anyone got any ideas how I go about getting a re-issued licence key?
Thanks in advance .

Final Cut Pro X - Overheating Issues

Whenever I use Final Cut Pro X on my MacBook Pro, SMC Fan Control says my computer is 80 Degress Celcius, and issues a warning. Why does this program overheat my MBP? Any help?
Thanks in advance.

FCPX will render the timeline while exporting hence the CPU temp rise. You can select parts of the timeline to be rendered. It might be adavatagous to render the timeline in sections and wait for the CPU to cool down and then do another render section. In the modify menu there is a RENDER SELECTION option.
Sending feedback to apple would be a good idea as it is apparent that there should be an option in the preferences to manage how much memery and CPU is used for rendering.

Final Cut Pro X Update Issues

Last year I purchased a used 2013 MacBook Air with Final Cut Pro X already installed.
I just learned that in order to update the software, I need to be signed into the Mac App Store account that purchased FCPX.
Is there anyway to transfer the software onto my own account, or do I have to contact the seller and get their information to update. Any other ways to update?

If you are serious about editing with FCP X, buy it yourself. That way you will get each future update
which will match whatever iteration of OS X is most current on any computer on the planet (that you own).
No One in their right mind is going to give you their App Store sign In info. W/O it you are stumped,
stagnant even - in the bottom of the pond all alone. You know how many people write in here asking
how to get something for nothing? Lots. In that respect you are not alone.

I'm having Final Cut Pro X interface issues

I am a total n00b to FCP, and I have messed up my version seemingly completely and have no idea how. I am currently taking a class (only a couple classes in) and the layout on the class FCP X is totally different, listing the different drives and event libraries, etc. It should look something like this:
But mine looks like this:
I've uninstalled and reinstalled three times, deleting my preferences, etc. and it hasn't reverted back to the original layout. Anyone have any clue how I can get it back to the original layout that lists the different drives and events, etc.? I'm hoping it's something simple that a moron such as myself will be able to fix.

You'd get better answers if you post questions about FCP-X in the appropriate FCP-X forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x?view=discussions
This forum is for the legacy versions of FCP (version 7 and below).

Final Cut Pro X exporting issues

So, I'm attempting to export a video from FCPX (Version 10.0) and every time I try to export it (from any of the possible choices) it continues to give me this error message
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDo
Any ideas on what to do?

You need to upgrade FCP X. 10.0 doesn't work with Mavericks.

Final Cut Pro 3 playback issues

My sister bought a copy of FCP3 seconhand and cannot seem to get it to play any video. If she tries to preview a video file, it will start playing audio, then 2 or 3 seconds later, play the video, and then everything will suddenly stop.
She is trying to use it on an iMac G5 1.6GHz with 1.25GB of ram running OS X 10.5.
FCP3 is fully up to date as is OS X.
From everything I've read, the machine should be able to handle it

Hi - So you are saying that you have captured DV, and cannot play that captured clip back in the FCP Viewer (not the Canvas)?
Control-click on the suspect clip in the bin and select Reveal in Finder. Control click on the actual file and select Open With > Quicktime player. Does the file play correctly directly in the Quicktime Player?
Go back to FCP, and Control -click on the suspect clip. Select Item Properties > Format which will open a window that will show the clip properties:

Either post a screen shot or report what the Clip Properties are,

Is my issue with Final Cut Pro or my Macbook pro?

I'm going to try to be as thorough as possible in explaining my situation because I can't figure this problem out and it's exhausting me. I have an early 2011 macbook pro with the 2.2 ghz processor. I upgraded to 16gb of ram almost a year ago. I've been using Final Cut Pro 7 on this computer for several years now without issue and have made no setting changes that would prompt my problems. A few months ago my battery decided to stop holding a charge and now just registers 0%. Around the same time, while editing a short video my computer began behaving like it was overheating. It would crash, restart, crash and then restart again. After I did a disk and permissions repair it began to work normally again and I haven't had any more crashing issues. Around this period of time I began noticing that when my computer turns on it doesn't register the correct time and date. Given a few moments it corrects itself, but for some strange reason it was doing that every time.
Anyway, around that time I tried to upgrade to Mavericks and experienced an issue during installation because my hard drive was apparently damaged in some way and the installation couldn't be completed. I restored my previous OS and tried to carry on as I was with the damaged hard drive for as long as I could. I was still able to do everything I needed on the computer. I could still edit videos with Final Cut. I could still browse the internet. I could still stream Netflix.
About a month ago Final Cut stopped working. I could open the program, start a new project and import media files, but when I dragged them into the timeline, they just stuttered (audio would play but video would lag and then jump several frames then lag and jump frames). At the time I assumed this was because my hard drive finally gave up, but I was still able to do other functions like browse the internet and stream basketball games with nba league pass (granted they weren't crisp hd - on a side note, netflix was also behaving oddly. when I would browse through my list, it wouldn't stop scrolling when I moved the mouse away.) so I assumed the hard drive was my issue.
I just replaced my hard drive with an ssd (crucial m500) and upgraded to mavericks (10.9.1) and now I am having the same issues. Netflix behaves fine. Basketball games stream fine. My battery is still dead (obviously that wasn't going to change). I get the wrong date and time for a minute, but I'm thinking that's battery related now. But Final Cut still lags to the point where I can't use it. Video clips also won't render. I thought this might be an issue with the Final Cut program so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still did the same thing. Assuming I hadn't correctly/completely uninstalled it, I downloaded HitFilm 2 (an editing program that had a free download promotion at the time), figuring using a different program, if i could edit video with it, then my issue is with Final Cut and not my computer. Unfortunaely, I'm having the same lagging issues with HitFilm as I was with Final Cut.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Sorry if this was a rambling post, but I wanted to get as much of the background out there as possible, should it provides anyone with a clue as to what is the issue here. Does anyone have any idea what could be at fault here? I'm stumped.

Final Cut Pro X hangs while restoring window layout

The software stops responding during startup when it begins to restore the window layout. I have already deleted the layout folder in the Library without any benefit.
I would appreciate any thoughts on how to resolve this issue.
Is it possible that the problem may result from having both Final Cut Trial and Final Cut Pro as Applications?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Is the iMovie project in the Final Cut Projects folder? If it is, remove it from there before launching the application.

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!

Final Cut Pro to Final Cut Express -- Format issues?

Hi,
I'm shooting a project on a Panasonic HVX-200A, and my cameraman is going to import the footage to his Final Cut Pro station. He's then going to transfer the FCP footage and data over to an external hard drive, which I am going to use to edit the film using Final Cut Express.
Will there be any formatting issues if I bring the data from Final Cut Pro to Final Cut Express?
Thanks!!
Sameer Ketkar

Clip files can be easily imported into FCE if they are QuickTime DV-NTSC/DV-PAL or Apple Intermediate Codec (720p30, 1080i50/60). If they are other formats/codecs they should be converted to DV or AIC before importing into FCE.
FCPro project files cannot be imported into FCExpress.
I'd suggest a trial run before committing the project to this workflow.

Final Cut Pro 7 issues

I have just recently upgraded to FCP 7 from 5.1 and I am having multiple problems with it. The main issue is that when I batch capture from My Panasonic DVX100 using 24p advanced pull-down the video on my computer after capture is out of sync by half a second to a second out of sync with the audio. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Final cut studio multiple times first with app zapper and more recently with FCS Remover and it still has multiple issues that make final cut pro largely unusable. So Does any one have any advice as to go about fixing it?

Used to be, Apple included the DVX100 sync fixer file on the install disc. Did you look to see if it's still included or not? Here is an explanation from back in the FCP5 days:

10-bit issues in Final Cut Pro

Can anyone point me to any Apple support articles relating to the issues / problems of using 10-bit uncompressed sequence setting for online editing in Final Cut Pro ?
I know Final CUt Pro is broken for 10-bit in 4.5, 4.5HD and on but I would like to know exactly which filters are broken for 10-bit and which not etc.
I have tried searches to no avail, just getting forum discussions that highlight the topic but do not have much in the way of solid info.

You are like a lot of Avid people I know...hold on to the old old hardware because it still works. Only it doesn't. Or it does with a workaround, in this case. But I know soooooo many companies that are still using Avid 7.5 on Beige Powermacs, or Avid Express, or Meridians.
Why are you insisting on 10-bit? DV50 is 8-bit, so you are gaining nothing by going to 10bit uncompressed. Even going 8-bit uncompressed doesn't really help anything. I tell people to either use DV50 or uncompressed 8-bit if they want their graphics to look good when they edit DV. DV50 is a good solid codec. No need to convert.
If you go back to Avid, I hope it is one of the newer ones...Avid 3.5 or 4.0. Adrenaline killed it for me, made me jump to FCP without hesitation. And PC Adrenalines...the worse. But newer boxes are starting to win me over.
But then that is new equipment...more expensive equipment than FCP.
