Final Cut Pro not recognizing Magic Bullet Quick Looks

Help! Lost my hard drive on my iMac, had it replaced, reinstalled Final Cut Pro Studio 2, downloaded MB Quick Looks again to reinstall. Final Cut is not showing it in the drop down effect menu like it used to. Can someone tell me how to configure FCP to see the MB QL again?

I can't remember what I did but I have a feeling it may be the penultimate suggestion on that list:-
+If you have recently re-installed your host application or OS, there may be a corrupt installation of one or both of these.+
I recall reinstalling the FCS 3 apps soon after the original instal but can't recollect exactly why! That is probably what got mine working again.
However, if you do reinstall FCP make sure you completely uninstall it first using FCS Remover

Font Families in Final Cut Pro not recognized

I was curious if there was a way to allow entire font families to appear in the text tool in Final Cut. Currently only the name of the family shows up and when it is seleced Final Cut seems to arbitrarily choose one of the fonts from the family to display. I have tried this with OpenType, PostScript, and TrueType fonts, and all of them have this same problem. I am also sure that the fonts are installed correctly, as they all show up without a problem in every other problem. In addition, I have tried it on multiple machines and all have the same issue. I have also tried computers with fpc4, fpc4.5, and fpc5, along with a variety of fonts.
Is this just something that final cut does not let you do? is there any way around this other than making titles in an outside program and bringing them in as jpgs or the like.
any help would be great
Thanks,
Tim

For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.

Final cut pro not reading camera or mini dv player

My mini dv player jammed so we went to the canon gl2 to use as our vtr and final cut pro won't read it we tried our other gl2 and final cut won't read it we also tried to see if I movie would read the cameras or the machine and I movie would'nt recognize them either. Once I movie recognized the camera but would not control it or by running the camera manually. what happens when the fire wire cord is plugged in the program won't initialize. Any ideas?

Stream of consciousness writing went out with Jack Kerouac. Please use paragraphs.
What computer do you have?
Are you connecting your camera through external firewire drives?
The inability of cameras to easily connect via firewire comes up here daily, if not hourly. (facility with the SEARCH function located in the upper right of the forum is highly encouraged.) Canon cameras seem to bring their own special problems as well. If you have an iSight G5, you may have other issues ...
Try this as a troubleshooting sequence -
- Turn everything off
- If you have an external firewire drive, disconnect it.
- With only the Canon connected to the firewire bus, turn the camera on
- Turn on the Computer
- Open up System Profiler and look for the FIREWIRE section.
- Do you see your camera listed?
If no,
- you have basic connection issues - try the firewire port reset (do a search here on the forum)
- if you have an iSight camera - disconnect it and try again.
If yes,
- Open up iMovie and try to capture a short segement.
- Did it work?
if no,
- there is something potentially wacky with your camera settings.
if yes,
- Now open up FCP, make sure your firewire communication protocol is FIREWIRE BASIC
- Try to log a short clip and capture using Batch Capture.
- Did it work?
If no,
- you likely likely need to reinstall Quicktime. Search for 'quicktime reinstall' on this forum.
If yes,
- you may need to install a second bus for your capture drive. You do not want to be capturing to the system drive.

.Mov from Final Cut Pro not playing on PC

I've made a short video edited with Final Cut Pro. The file was saved as a .mov QuickTime movie. The demo looked great on a Mac but it has to go to people who only have PCs.
Loaded the demo onto the hard drive of the PC, but the demo is showing poor resolution. It Loaded the latest releases of QuickTime, tried putting QuickTime in safe mode, tried re-setting the screen resolution and tried using different PCs. Still get the same fuzzy screen. Even tried saving the demo in different formats from Final Cut Pro, but still no better.
Any suggestions? Thanks-- Foster

I have the same problem and need a good solution. On 2 seperate PC's. I believe (but don't know 4 sure) that it is something to do with Quicktime not using the Windows direct X environment.
You could try going into quicktime / Edit / preferences / quicktime preferences / advanced /tick the safe mode GDI only circle ... restart quicktime and try again.

Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
There are no markers.
Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
Thank millions for a solution.

It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite. I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating.

Final Cut Pro not under "Purchases"

I bought Final Cut Pro this summer and I want to move the app onto my new computer, but when I go in the App Store it does not show up under "Purchases." I already deleted FCP off my old computer so I'm stuck with nothing. i checked other posts but none of those seem to help. Does anyone know how I can redownload FCP without having to repurchase the app?
Thanks!

If you are logged into the App Store with the Apple ID and password that was used to purchase and the application does not appear on the Purchases page you need to contact the App Store.

Dvd created in final cut pro not working

I have created multiple Dvd's in Final Cut Pro X and never seem to have a problem. Yet with my most recent project I've run into a problem. The created Dvd's will not play on any of our dvd players, blue ray or regular player. The error message I am getting on some of them is "region not supported". But they will play on any Pc or Mac I insert them in. I burned the Dvd using the dvd function in Final Cut.
Any advise?

Final cut pro not working with Yosemite

I yesterday installed Yosemite and the previous version of Final Cut Pro does not work with it. When I try to install the latest version of Final Cut Pro from the purchased tab in the app store, I get the message: "Final Cut can't be installed on this computer because it requires at least 4 GB of memory". When I go to the storage tab in "About This Mac", it shows that I have 154.49 GB free of 319.21 GB. Can someone help? Many thanks.

Final Cut Pro not accepting serial number??

I was working on a project just fine this morning. I close out and just tried to open Final Cut and it brought up the licensing window, so I put in the serial number and it says it's not a valid number. What happened??? Im on it for an hour this morning and now Im blocked out 5 hrs later?? I have Final Cut Pro 7.

I'm having the exact same issue as Chester Finney1. I would LOVE to know how you fixed it, because I can't seem to. If anyone knows how to fix this without needing to contact Apple, that would be fantastic!!!
I'm on a MacBook Pro and have Final Cut Pro 7. It tells me that my serial number is invalid for Final Cut Pro 7, Compressor and Motion. But DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro are fine.

Final Cut X not recognizing EXTERNAL GTECH 2GB Drive

Hello,
So I just purchased FINAL CUT X and my external GTECH hardrive 2 GB is not being recognized. It does NOT show up on the desktop. I've browsed through a couple of forums and I think the MAC OSX could be the problem. Or that final cut X is configured to my computer's hardrive rather than my external. When I go into APPLICATIONS, UTILITIES, Desktop utilities I see this "APPLE HDD HTS547550A9E384 Media," which I believe is my drive because its using less the a GB of space last time I checked.

If the drive doesn't appear in the Finder sidebar under devices then the problems in the drive or the OS. How is the drive formatted?

Final Cut Express not recognizing firewire

I recently deleted my hardrive on my '04 iBook, and reinstalled all my software. I have Final Cut Express version 2.0.2, and upon reinstalling it, and firing it up for the first time, with my XL2 on and attached via firewire, the "External A/V" window pops up, and says "Unable to locate the following devices..." referring to the firewire connection. Now that always pops up when nothing's plugged in that's turned on, but this is the first time it's ever done this when my camera is plugged in and on. I went through every NTSC firewire setting on the "Easy Setup" window, but nothing changed. iMovie reads my XL2 just fine with the same firewire cable. This problem did not occur before I clean out my hardrive, and reinstalled everything. But prior to reinstallation my "capture" function was freezing up after 5 minutes, and said my "startup disc" was full. Any ideas on what the current problems is?

I'm experiencing the same problem. I have a macbook pro 2.4 GHz, using a Canon HV20. When I enter FCE is prompts me saying "Unable to locate following device: Apple Firewire NTSC." However using imovie, everything works fine, I'm able to capture images simply by turning on my camera.
Not sure if its a problem with my FCE, because I've tried to edit in FCE using video from imovie and it gives me an error message constantly.
any ideas?

Final Cut Express not recognizing P2

Running FCE on on my iMac, camera gets to desktop no problem. When I open log and transfer, FCE does not read the files. I am shooting on HPX370P, and installed the drivers from the disc but they are not staying in my applications folder. Help!!

Sorry, Final Cut Express does not support P2. Not DVCPRO HD nor AVCintra. Log and Transfer is for AVCHD formats only.

Final cut pro not capturing

Hi guys, this may be an incredibly stupid and easy question, but I'm having trouble with one of the two new final cut workstations we bought for my school (the other one is fine).
Here is the problem. When trying to capture clips or batch capture, FCP says there is a problem with time code and to select another in point. I've tried dozens of tapes with different clips that worked on the other computer with FCP with no problem, but with no avail. When I sometimes DO get a clip on the timeline, in playback there are audio drop outs every time. I checked the speakers and they are fine as well.
All tapes play fine in the dvcam machines and the clips are fine on the other machine, the problem occurs on the other one consistently.
Keep in mind that both computers and FCP programs are set to the same settings, I'm using an imac4 with OS 10.4.9, a DSR-11 for playback.
Any help would be greatly apreciated!
ProfBrian
Imac4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

good idea, and a valuable tip for me, but I just tested another deck, the one with problems apprarently needs the heads replaced!
thanks
BC
I hope you're not having to uninstall and re-install
the software.
Here's what I do
Use FCP Rescue to trash preferences
Then Go to Applications>DiskUtility
Then highlight your system hard drive and run "Repair
Permissions"
When that's done if I have external drives just as a
check I highlight those and run "Verify Disk" I just
want to verify that it's okay I don't do anything
else to that external drive.
Then I reboot. Let me say that again "then I
reboot"...I have to say it again because I forget
sometimes.
Once everything comes up again and you open up FCP
you need to reset your System Settings, particularly
the scratch disk and anything else that makes it
special to you. In your case make sure it matches
the settings you have on the computer that IS working
for you.
If this doesn't work then you may need to run
something like Disk Warrior, but let's not get there
yet.
