Final Cut Pro generated an error / unexpectedly Quit w/compressor & Qmaster

Hello all I have Final Cut Studio 3. I am using the latest Final Cut and the latest compressor.
I have a Core i7 so i am trying to use all 8 virtual threads or at least four. However when I use the "This Computer" option in compressor it is not an issue. It will compress fine. However, when i use the virtual cluster i set up with QMaster i get the dreaded "Final Cut Pro generated an error or unexpectedly" and it fails. I am unsure what to do. Here are the circumstances:
When I to compressor from FCP and use "this computer" it is no problem.
When I send to compressor from FCP and try to use your personalized cluster (taking advantage of those expensive cores!) it won't work. it fails and give me the aforementioned error.
PS I know that I can make the file quick time self contained movie fm final cut and send it to compressor, but this program should work on it own without doing that.
I have enclosed a video which can be seen at:

irtual Clustering works by launching multiple copies of the Compressor encoder, each of which needs access to the source media that you are compressing. This is fine if you are compressing from a source movie clip, as they can just open the file multiple times.
But when you export from Final Cut Pro, FCP can only communicate with one copy of the encoder - it cannot launch multiple copies of itself. Consequently, you cannot export to a virtual cluster from the Send to Compressor command.
A common misconception is that exporting to a QuickTime movie is slower. This is wrong - it is actually faster for two reasons - 1) it is faster to read the file directly than to request each frame from FCP and 2) you have access to virtual clustering. If your timeline is completely or partially rendered, deselect Make Self-Contained and the QuickTime export will be quicker.
Another issue is that you are using up all of your virtual cores, leaving nothing left over for the operating system. There are varying schools of thought on how many to choose, ranging from the total number of cores minus one to half the number of cores (the latter being Apple's official suggestion). Also remember that each instance requires at least 1 GB of RAM, and remember to leave some extra for the OS and running applications.

Final Cut Pro HD: General Error - Unable to open file

Hi Everyone,
Problems again. Thanks for all of you who responded to my last dilemma.
Using Final Cut Pro HD, I saved my project and tried to reopen it and it won't open; gives me a "General Error 41" message. I saved a copy to the desktop and it wouldn't open either. I tried restarting, using 400 firewire and 800 firewire and nothing.
Anyone know of a solution? Thanks and appreciation ahead of time.

from the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU - it worked

Final Cut Pro dropped frame rate issue

Hi there, i currently shot a short film on the canon 5d mark II 30fps and i am trying to edit it in final cut studio 2. I have recently bought the new macbook pro 15inch 2gb module.
Now the canon footage is h.264 but when importing the clips into final cut pro 6 there is a lot of dropped frame rate issues but I thought this machine could handle HD footage?
Can someone more advanced than myself recommend what i am doing wrong or a work flow that i can work with to stop dropped frame rates and render times.
Last piece of information, the project will be entered in film festivals in the spring its only a 3 minute short and i have 5 folders of footage under 4gb each which was taken from the camera
Thanks for your help.
Michael

You are missing a huge conceptual point. If the file can not spool off of the hard drive fast enough, you get dropped frames. It isn't a processor or ram issue right now, it is a hard drive speed issue. Your system drive is overtaxed trying to run OSX, applications AND spool video. It just can't keep up. Changing the graphic card isn't going to help (and how do you change the card in a laptop?)
Get an external esata drive - with the new MacBookPro you'll need an esata Expresscard34 adapter for the computer to connect the drive. Firewire is not an option with that machine and USB2 will not cut it with high data rate formats like ProRes.
When you drop in the ProRes clip to the timeline and it tells you there is a mismatch, this means your preset for the timeline is something other than your clip. You WANT ProRes and you need the sequence to match your clip - tell the program to CHANGE the sequence to match the clip.
Video is not easy and it isn't inexpensive. Time to open up those manuals and your wallet!
Good luck,

Final Cut Pro 'dropping frames' problem

Hi. I have a macbook, version 10.6.8 - I am trying to use Final Cut Pro version 6.0.6 and am having problems with the 'dropping frames' issue. I know you can get rid of the message, but does anyone know how to solve the problem, as when it comes to exporting the film I won't be able to? Is my mac too small/old to use this version of FCP? If so, is there anything I can do to rectify that? (that doesn't involve buying a new mac!)
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

#12 Dropped frames on capture/playback
Shane's Stock Answer #12: Dropped frames on capture/playback
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58640
1) Do not capture to your main system drive. Since it is busy reading the operating system and application files, it will intermittently drop frames during capture. Capture to a separate internal drive, or external hard drive (firewire and eSATA for example).
2) Deactivate any anti-virus/filesaver software, including Norton and Virex. For some reason these programs think that the large files created when you capture media are in fact caused by some sort of virus, and they try to prevent this.
3) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mac OS Extended, journaling off. If it isn't, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
4) Trash the FCP preference files. Use PREFERENCE MANAGER to do that, available here:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com
5) Make sure that the hard drives you are capturing to are fast enough to handle the footage being captured to it. A regular firewire 400 drive cannot capture uncompressed HD, or even uncompressed standard definition. A RAID array of drives might be in order for these formats.

Final Cut Pro drop frames on timeline playback

i have Mac Pro Dual Xeon 2.0Ghz, 3GB Ram, 2 SATA IIHDs 1 for system and other for Final Cut.
But when inport any video to timeline and try to play back the only think i get is dropped frames. I have to render and render anyting i put in timeline.
I am using Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
Help me!
In my school i have power mac G4 DP with 768 ram and final cut 5.0 with no problems, just rocks.
Mac Pro Dual Xeon 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

If you have to render... it's a mismatch.
Check your video files again... AGAIN!
Scroll across the video file in your browser window and see what EXACTLY the codec and size and frame rates are.
IF they don't match your sequence you'll have to render.
Now -- sometimes if the windows are overlapping or your video isn't set to Fit-to-Fill for the windows you'll get some dropped frames... make sure that is good too.

Why is my Final Cut Pro Dropping Frames?

Final Cut Pro 3 has been capturing media for years. Now every 20 seconds it says " Dropped frames." Is this because I updated to Mac OS 10. 4.9? Help. I'm frustrated.

This is a known issue. Updating to 10.4.9 causes FCP 4.5 and earlier to drop frames when capturing. The solution? You'll need to archive and install the OS all over again, and get back to 10.4.8.
Search the forums for 10.4.9 and FCP and you will fine MANY threads talking about this.

Final Cut Pro dropping Frames on playback

I am editing a multi cam video in final Cut Pro. I have set playback to proxy media. I have 250gb free hard drive and 8gb ram. I have an IMac that isnt a year old yet.
I have previously completed a music video, excactly the same composition of 3 camera angles and a soundtrack and no issues at all.
The individual clips play fine but when I play the multicam clip its dropping frames on playback and output. The video is lagging behind the audio.
Considering upgrading ram, but Im confused as to why last week I could do this perfectly and now the machine seems to be struggling?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

1) IF the clips are playing back fine without the effect. It is NOT the drive speed causing the drama... The effect is.
2) FCPx is NOT a real time application like PPRO when effects are applied. Sometimes if your GPU is strong enough and if the effect has been properly coded you WILL be able to achieve real-time performance... But in most cases not...
3) FCPx has BIG problems playing back video in real-time as it is. Even if its ProRes and residing on a super fast SSD... FCPx HAS problems which are hopefully being worked out as I write...
Solution to your problem is to render the timeline if you have effects on any clips. Also, make sure that your project is NOT residing on the same disk as the event library which it is using. The project ALSO need to be on a fast disk because ONCE you render the timeline, the video is being played back from a file in your project folder and NO LONGER the event library
Hope this helps

Final Cut Pro 7 Frame freezing and dropping frames for 3 seconds...

So, I'm creating a video which leads up to .png files being on screen for 00:00:00:20 and 00:00:00:10. When it hits that first frame of 00:00:00:20, it freezes for 3 seconds, misses out the rest of the frames before continues. What puzzles me is that in the playback window in FCP, it plays exactly how it should but when rendering out into "Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920x1084 60i 48 kHz .mov" format, it plays like this...
It leads me to believe that the frames per second need to be upped but not a cut how to do this on FCP. If this is not the reason for this problem, I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks in advanced!

I feel that this is your problem. Editing from a network drive is not particularly ideal as there are quite a few overheads when it comes to data transfer. Bear in mind that in a properly set up network users have a restricted amount of bandwidth to 'play" with so as to minimise horrendous bottlenecks and complaints. Additionally having only 1.9 to 2 GB of free space is a recipe for disaster. The drive could fail miserably and as a result you could lose your work. One thing that is useful to know about conventional drives is that their speed drops dramatically as you fill them up, up to the point that they crawl. I suggest you move your work into a local drive, that is one connected to the computer you use, with ample space to space (filled way below 50% of its capacity). In fact, fcp capture scratch, render and media folders should be there.
Good luck

Final cut pro dropped frames after transition

Hi, I'm kind of new with FCP 7 and have an issue getting dropped frames after applying a transition effect into my video. Everything else is working right but just after I apply any dissolve or transitions the video hiccups.Even rendering it still jumps.
I'm using a canon rebel t2i which gives me a h.264 codec (I've read that is a hard format for editing) but it is the only one I got, is there a way to solve this issue ? Thanks!!

Solve it by transcoding the h.264 file to pro res using MPEGStreamclip.

Final Cut Pro X Export Error

When exporting my project I get an error (Quicktime Error -50). I narrowed it down to a video that I am using within my project. I didn't film it it's a video that was sent to me from a client to splice in throughout the video. I exported it without that video and it exported just fine. So why is it that when I insert this other video into the project it fails to export? I've tried all the export options, none of them work. Please help it's been over a month and I still can't figure it out. Thanks.

Hi Russ,
thanks a lot, the problem is solved .
I turned off Background Rendering, duplicated the whole project and deleted all Render Files within the duplicated project.
Exporting was successfully, thanks.
Russ H wrote:
Some of the export problems that are reported do seem to relate to retimed clips. Use the range tool and select a short section of your sequence that includes a retimed clip. See if it will export as a master file. If not, turn off BG Rendering. Delete Project Render Files (from the File menu in FCP). Try exporting the same selection.

Final Cut Pro Studio installation error

Hey... I was installing the software. About half way through installing it said error and stopped; so I'm confused... should I trash everything installed and start all over?

I remember FCP installing first then the other programs but I wasn't paying very close attention.
You either had a strange hiccup or there is something wrong with one of the disks or there was user error.
Still, this should be a pretty simple process - just feed the disks in the order the install program asks for them. If you put in the wrong disk, it will usually tell you 'no that isn't the one I want' and spit it out. Maybe it didn't do that so you should be very clear about which disk you are feeding it.
You might as well try another install. If it crashes out again give Apple care a call. Installation issues are covered for 90 days I believe.
Good luck.

Final cut pro slow frame rate

So whenever I import P2 files into an event I seen to have a slower frame rate during playback. the footage is good because it plays normally in the import media window but it will at a slower frame rate once imported. the video format is 720p 24 frames.

Where do you keep your projects and events? What are your system specs?
