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

  • 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.

    I am also expriencing the same error. Tried every solution listed so far:
    1. Switch off background rendering. Trash render files. Don't render. Export.
    2. copying the project within Final Cut Pro into another project
    3. remove the following folder: Library > Application Support > ProApps > MIO > RADPlugins > XDCAMFormat.RADPlug
    Nothing worked. I try to export to Vimeo, YouTube, and master. All error right at 9%

    Device Control Preset: HDV Fire Wire
    Video Playback: Digital Cinema Desktop Preview

    Hi guys,
    Well let me tell you...
    I make the easy setup with 108060i and now is working good and printing to tape, but is so slow...
    I remember that before I use to print to tape in 720x 480 cause is more faster and easy, in fact the tv channels doesnt accept tapes in high def! Is absurd!!
    But I need to know how chance the settings audio/video to 720 x 480 but I already try with every single combination and no one works!
    thanks again!
    Also... I need to know what external hard drive is the best and faster to keep my finalcut archives and after make print to tape!
    I have one seagate 1TB but this have an option that I can avoid that is that the disc go to sleep at the 5 minutes and this screw my print to tape work!
    Did you know some one good with Fire Wire??
    thanks a lot, and have a great day!

  • 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.

  • Motion and Final Cut Pro Problem

    I recently updated my computer and went with the new Quad-Core Mac. I had to reload the Final Cut Pro Studio software, and I've got a problem that is vexing me to no end.
    I can import a Motion template (one that I've designed and even the Apple produced templates), but I try to view it in Viewer or when I place the Motion template on the timeline it won't work. Nothing visible on either the Viewer or the Canvas when I try to playback. I can right click and open the template in Motion and have the elements appear and work properly, but nada once it comes back into Final Cut.
    What gives?
    John

    I find the roundtrip to Motion to be less than useful when there are a lot of layers involved. What works better for me is to export a movie using the same settings you're using in FCP and then import that. If the settings in Motion match the FCP settings, no rendering should be required. Unfortunately, you can't then use the "open in editor" function to fix anything... but must reopen the Motion project and export again.

  • Lightroom to Final Cut Pro Problem

    When I compose a series of .jpg stills in Lightroom and then import them into Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, then apply cross-dissolve transitions, and then export to QuickTime, just before each transition begins there is a momentary "blink" to black (this appears in the QT output but does not occur when playing back the series within FCP). When I import the same files directly into FCP without going through Lightroom, the transitions run smoothly in the QT output. This suggests that there is something happening to these files in Lightroom -- does anyone know if this is a bug or is there a setting that I can change to eliminate the problem?
    I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9 on a 3GHZ Mac Pro Quad, 6 GB, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT w/512MB, Apple Cinema 23" display. Thanks!

    Jan --
    I haven't run into this. I've had no problem with Lr exports for FCP, either as TIFFs or JPEGs. I export from Lr to a Desktop folder with Resolution set at 72 ppi, and then import into FCP. Since I'm typically mixing stills with video, as opposed to building a slideshow, I don't apply transitions between all stills. But where transitions are applied, I've seen no flashes of black. The only thing I can think to ask is: are your FCP imports from both sources -- Lr and the other (where's it coming from?) -- at the same resolution, and is it 72 ppi? And are all cropped to the same dimensions? FCP can sometimes hiccup on too-big stills.

  • Final Cut Pro Problem playing and exporting

    I am having problem playing and exporting in final cut pro. I made an animation in maya and used batch render to render a folder of images then imported the folder to final cut pro but it doesn’t play properly in the video window or even when I exported to quicktime. Do u know why?
    Please give me your response asap.
    Thank you very much!

    As the link that Russ posted describes, use quicktime player to open the image sequence and then do a save.  Bringing in an image sequence directly into fcp will cause extreme performance problems in my experience. 
    Describe the setting (pixel dimensions, color space, etc) of the original files.  One important question is whether there is an alpha channel associated with the files.  You may want to change the codec when you do the save in quicktime player to something more fcp friendly like one of the flavors of prores.

  • 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 -

    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?

  • 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 Problem: Green Horizontal Lines

    Ok first of all i am using Final Cut Pro 7 and i have an iMAC with 2.66 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor and 4 GB Memory although i store my Final Cut Pro files on my 1 TB external hard drive.
    These green horizontal lines show up when i add and render a transition inbetween two clips. It happens consistently everytime i add a transition.
    It really looks bad and if someone could tell me how to fix this it would be great. Thanks!!!!

    details of source clip formats, sequence settings etc? specific transition settings? screen shots displaying issue?
