Final Cut Pro X doesn't seem to recognize 120 fps

I hust bought a GoPro Hero 2 with the capability of shooting 120fps. When I upload the clip into my timeline it says that it can't recognize the format and prompts to 60 fps. Any thoughts on how to get the full 120 fps? Thanks

Here is the link.

But Tim Wolsky is correct. If you set your project at 29.97 before you start editing the project and then drag the clips in, they will conform to 29.97 and be able to slow down. I also like it in Final Cut becasue it is preset to ramp up and down into slow motion. Meaning, if you only want part of your clip in slomo, you select the Range tool, highlight that section and slow it down. Final Cut has an algarithm that does a slight ramp down to slow mo, so it isn't jarring. Very cool.
The gopro software will allow you to slow it down to the appropriate frame rate then export it as the longer, full slow motion clip. It's more exact than final cut, becasue it doesn't work in percentage, but you do lose flexibilty.
I shot some footage the day I got the camera and slowed it down in Final Cut. I will upload and post it to the thread, if you are curious on the end result. It's just grainy, becasue it was dark and indoors, but you will get an idea of the smoothness of the effect.
Hope this helps.

  • Final Cut Pro Trial doesn't import correctly from iMovie

    I am trying the trial version of Final Cut Pro.
    I am trying to import iMovie Projects into Final Cut Pro.
    When I do so, no clips import (they are all still photos) and sometimes the sound imports and sometimes it doesn't.
    Is this just because it is a trial version? Does this work normally in Final Cut Pro?
    My end goal is to create a DVD.

    They are all in a folder on my Mac.
    What fodler? Are they in iMovie Events?
    aren't the free tracks in iMovie/Gargage Band/etc, free of copyright?
    Yes, but FCP won't link to them if they're not in events.
    You should finish these projects in iMovie.

  • Syncing audio in Final Cut Pro X doesn't create a compound clip

    I just had a quick question that hopefully someone can help me with. I was shooting some video with my Canon t3i the other day, and I record audio into a Zoom H1. I imported all of my audio and video into Final Cut Pro X and I wanted to syncronize the clips, so I chose the video and the correct audio to go with it, and I right clicked them, and chose syncronize clips.
    Now, my question. On every example I've seen of this, syncronizing two clips creates a compound clip which would be great, but when I choose syncronize clip, it just creates a new clip of the video with both audio files apart of the video. It's not a compound clip at all, it's just a video file with two audio channels, one with the cameras audio, the other with the Zoom H1 audio. When I go to shut off the cameras audio channel and just leave the Zoom H1 audio, my video starts to skip and just goes black, yet the audio plays fine...
    I guess I'm just looking for help, is there something wrong that I am doing when I am trying to sync these clips? Are there certain file settings that I should have? My video is recorded in 1080p with 24fps, the audio is recorded in WAV format. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • My Final Cut Pro X doesn't run. An Izotope window pops up and fcp crashes

    Hello,
    i installed a trial version of Izotope RX2 but now Final Cut does not open. A authorization window from Izotope pops up when i open FCP and it crashes. I can't press any button (Authorization or Continue) of that window and FCP crashes, i always have to force quit.
    I have already cleared Izotope but the plug-ins of Izotope still appear on my Reaper (audio software).
    Did this ever happened with anybody? Or just somebody knows anything that could help?
    Thanks for the attention
    jmmiranda

    I'm guessing you have an izotope audio unit plugin still installed on your mac that's causing problems.
    Trying finding it and removing it temporarily from here:

  • My final cut pro x doesn´t work

    when I open my program gets stuck while loading, I am very concerned that the work week and the machine is there mark error. No work force to close the program and send a report if nothing happens ..

    If Al's suggestion doesn't work try this  .  .  .  .
    Corrupt preferences can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be one of the first things you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

  • Final Cut Pro 5 doesn't capture when there's a break in time code

    Hi,
    I'm trying to capture a mini DV tape using "Capture Now". When it encounters a break in time code, FCP stops the deck and the capture -- which is what I want it to do -- but I don't get a media file in my Browser window or in the Capture Scratch folder of the footage that should have been captured up until the break. What could the problem be & what is my fix-it?
    Thanks for any/all help!
    Natascha

    Check the settings in User Preferences (General tab). The "On timecode break:" popup menu should be set to "Make New Clip" or "Warn After Capture". If its set to "Abort Capture" nothing will be saved.

  • TS1233 How do I get chapter markers for iDVD from Final Cut Pro X?

    It seems like a tremendous short-coming that Final Cut Pro X doesn't allow for chapter markers that can be used in iDVD or DVD Pro. Surely there is some way to get used-defined markers from Final Cut Pro X or at least re-define the Final Cut Pro X markers in the DVD authoring applications. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have decided to say that my problem is solved by the work-a-rounds that have been submitted. I STILL don't like the fact tha Apple has decided that DVD's are a thing of the past and therefore (chapter) markers are of no use. That may be true is the publishing world of YouTube, Vimeo, etc. but it certainly NOT true for many of us advanced hobbyists that still like distribution on DVD's to our friends or a more localized (private) community -- especially to those who are not computer literate. If Apple wants to exclude us from their customer base, I suggest that base will become even smaller than their competitors who still have chapter markers in their products. I'll get off my soapbox now. . .

  • Can't Open Final Cut Pro X

    I can't open Final Cut Pro X.  The problem seemed to start when I deleted some old backups.  Help?

    Close FCP X and re-open holding the Option key.
    This will allow you to create a new Library, do so.
    If the newly created Library works OK then there is a corruption issue in the current one that doesn't open.
    Try a backup, usually found in your Home>Movies folder.

  • Final Cut Pro X Project

    I recently completed a 20-hour project in which I filmed, edited, and produced a short ad. I am a college student, so not a professional by any means, but I also feel I'm not too bad at throwing together videos. I am charging for this project, and am trying to figure out what a reasonable price to charge is.
    I have included a link to the finished video below, but please do not turn this into a political discussion, I was simply paid to make this ad based on a predetermined script, and would like to know a reasonable price for the amount of polish that it has. Thanks in advance!

    This was actually my first project using Final Cut Pro X. I look forward to teaching myself the greatness of color correction soon haha - thanks for the helpful feedback. It seems Final Cut Pro X doesn't have that many color-correction capabilities, but it's probably just me being new to the program.
    Here's a great free color grading tutorial for FCP X.

  • Migrate the whole iMovie 10.0.3 library to Final Cut Pro 10.1.1

    Is there any way to migrate the whole iMovie 10.0.3 library to Final Cut Pro 10.1.1?
    I know we can use "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function from iMovie but it works for a selected project only, not the whole event library with structure.

    Thanks for your confirmation!  It seems to me this is the situation after tons of research.....
    I really don't understand Apple's logic/philosophy now.... in the new iMovie... it takes out the keywords which is extremely important to anyone with many clips.  I don't mind to pay for the expensive FCPX but I am told that FCPX cannot migrate the iMovie library..... sigh....... what **** they are thinking....
    BTW, it seems the "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function doesn't support sending even the "Event". It supports only sending project with the clips associated with the project.  There is no way to send the clip without associated to project.  Anyone can confirm it?

  • How can i get my Imac, running OSX 10.6.8 with a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, how can i get Final Cut Pro 4 and DVD studio pro 2 to run on it?

    I just bought an IMAC running OSX 10.6.8 (not sure what flavor that is). The processor is 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Late 2006). When i run Final Cut Pro 4 on it I get the following error.
                        "Configuration error
                           This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing
                                    * AGP graphics Card"
    If Final Cut Pro 4 doesn't run on my system, what version of Final Cut can I run on this as I am a filmmaker and really am comfortable with Final Cut Pro.
    On the same note I also have DVD studio Pro 2 and that just quits without any message.
    Hope any of you can be some help.
    Thank you,
    Doug

    This is my first mac in a long time so i'm not sure about what this mac is as i didn't buy this from apple (ala Amazon). I'm a tad confused about the Intel/PowerPC thing. I do know the software version for sure, but the Intel/PowerPC is very confusing. I just need to find someone who would know about this question. It doesn't say G5 on this computer. Thats my biggest confusion. Help Me...

  • 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?

    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.

  • Can I open an imovie project in Final cut pro?

    I have an imovie project that I want to open in final cut pro. It doesnt seem to want to let me. Any clues?

    Hi mattyme,
    It sounds like this thread might be answered, but I thought I'd offer a successful test case as my two cents. I just opened an iMovie project that one of our clients dropped off in FCP 5.1.4.
    As Da Nam mentioned, open FCP, choose File > Open, navigate to the iMovie Project file and open it. It should ask you to save the new FCP Project file, and perform the rest of the functions for you automatically. (as it just did for me; project, clips and all)
    Hopefully this offers a little reassurance.
    Regards,
    -James-

    FCPX cannot open legacy FCP projects, if that's what you mean. There us no fix. The applications are entirely separate.
