Final Cut Pro X generators have disapeared

While working in Final Cut Pro X, I noticed that all of my generators, themes, titles, and most of my effects and transitions have suddenly disapeared. Is there any way to recover them?

What version? Post a screen shot? Anything in the search box?

EExactly what settings are you using. Some go to iTunes.

I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
Cheapest and very good image editor?

I own Final Cut Pro 6 and have been running it on an older G4 tower. I upgraded to a MacPro tower and the app will not install. I get a message "Not supported on this computer" cannot believe this. Help anyone.

Need to reinstall final cut pro 6 but have a damaged install disc, what to do?

Trying to install fresh FCP6 but my install disc seems to be damaged. Can I get another disc?

do some googling on cleaning cd/dvd's.
Something like this?
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/419762-REG/Aleratec_240131_DVD_CD_Disc_Rep air_Plus.html
I bought a cd/dvd cleaner at radio shack years ago that saved my butt a number of times. Unfortunately, I have no idea where it is.
And Nick's right (like he usually is) that making a disk image and then mounting it, is a good first step to see if the physical dvd is the problem.

Is there a way make Final Cut Pro X NOT open every event/project I have worked on at open?

I will admit, I am quite new to Final Cut Pro X, but have been a FCP user for years - this version is like learning to walk all over again.
Everytime I open FCP X, it loads every event/project I have ever worked on, and it takes a looooong time. Is there a way to have it open blank and then let me open only the Events I wish to work with?

Event Manager is only $4.99 but if you don't mind doing it manually, it will cost you nothing.
This Apple help article tells you how to hide the Projects and Events you don't want opening in FCP X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4740
As usual it makes it sound quite complex but all it involves is making 2 folders which you name Final Cut Events - Hidden and Final Cut Projects - Hidden and dragging the project and event folders you don't want into them. (The exact name of the folders is not critical so you can choose your own if you wish).
When you want to see them again you drag them back into the original folders.
You should move the folders with FCP X shutdown.

I presently use the Pinnacle Studio program, and am considering purchasing an Apple computer, and using Final Cut Pro X, although all of the previews I have seen appear to be difficult. Is their anyone who has used both?

I have been using Pinnacle Studio, and am considering purchasing an Apple computer, and Final Cut Pro X. I have looked at several tutorials, and am concerned that the program may be over my head, as it appears to be difficult. I wonder if there is anyone out there who has experience with both programs, and can advise me.

Ah yes, I remember Pinnacle Studio crashes very well, even with my reasonably powerful PC. Anyhow, I am running FCPX on a Late 2012 27" iMac, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, with 16 GB RAM. I also run it on a Mid 2009 15" MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz Intel Core Core 2 Duo, with 8 GB RAM. It runs great on both Macs, although there is more beachballing on the MBP - I don't use background rendering on it. There are also plenty of people out there running it successfully on a Mac Mini. The usual recommendation is to get the best Mac you can afford. Don't forget to budget money for an external Thunderbolt hard drive!

How do I import video and sound files from a hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

I just installed the lastest upgrade to Final Cut Pro X. I have an external hard drive connected to my computer and I want to import video and sound files into Final Cut Pro X- how do I make the transfer?

File>Import Files (Shift-Cmd-I). Select the files, fill out the dialog box that appears as you need.

Export markers from Final Cut Pro X to DVD Studio Pro

Hello,
After finding out how to create chapters via markers in Final Cut Pro we wonder how to export these markers to DVD Studio Pro without having to create ourselves a .txt file and writing the names and the times of the markers in it to export it to DVD Studio Pro. Isn't there a way to make this happen automatically?
Unfortunately the new version of Final Cut Pro doesn't have an export to Quick Time Player and this is why this kind of solution falls out and we really need to create the markers first in Final Cut Pro and not directly in DVD Studio.
Is there a solution?
Thank you.

At present, you cannot add chapter markers in FCP X.
If you send the project to Compressor, you can add chapter markers there, or you can add them in DVD SP.
You can add the chapter markers in Compressor or DVD SP manually, or if you create a text file listing the exact timecode positions (from FCP X storyline) where you want the chapter markers to be (each on a new line) Compressor (or DVD SP) will automatically insert the markers when you point it to the text file.

I can't export video from final cut pro trial

I'm currently using final cut pro trial.
i have finished a project, and tried to export the video.
There's not "share" on tool bar, but there' one under "file" toolbar.
To share, i have to add destination, but I can't add any destination

The Share button is in your image. It's the last button in the toolbar and it appears active in your screen shot.

Downgrading from Final Cut Pro HD to Final Cut Express 4

I have Final Cut Pro HD I have chosen to go back to (or to) Final Cut Express 4. I just bought the upgrade version of FCE 4 and I am wondering if FCP HD counts as a former version of FC for the upgrade version. I haven't opened the box so I want to make sure in case I need to take it back.

No it does not. The upgrade requires a previous FCE serial number. You'll have to return the box.

I just bought Final Cut Studio, now Final Cut Pro X came out. Can I get a refund on Final Cut Studio now that it is obsolete?

I think this is so bad on Apple's part. I just bought Final Cut Studio, and now they release Final Cut Pro X. Apple keeps a veil of secrecy about the release of their products, but if I had known Final Cut Pro X would have integrated the main Final Cut Studio components I would have waited. How could anybody have predicted an App from the App Store would integrate 3 of the extensive components of Final Cut Studio? I am ticked off that I spent $1000 for FCS, and now Final Cut Pro X basically makes it obsolete! Is it possible that Apple will offer a refund for Final Cut Studio, since really they should not have been selling it so close to the release of Final Cut Pro X?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am more at peace of mind that there may be a market now that Final Cut Studio is off the shelves. Basically I bought Studio to ramp up my video making abilities from iMovie for promoting my son's adaptive skiing. Studio gave a lot of great functionality for me, but I also bought FCP X and it has most of what I need. I had thought that there was no way to have the rest of the Studio (Motion, Color, Soundtrack Pro) in FCP X unless you had the full Studio before hand. Some Apple folks thought similarly to me, which is why I dropped the grand on it. Now I found that Color and the Soundtrack piece are integrated into FCP X. I was baffled. I am still not clear on what I can do with the full Studio that I cannot do with FCP X? As with any new software release there are bugs at first. I am guessing that if I ride out the bugs much of the functionality from the Full Studio will be in FCP X (and Motion and Compressor Apps), thus making the Studio eventually obsolete, since the 64 bit and full use of my Quad Core Processor is definitely one step up, with some of the other step downs.

I am a beginner at Final Cut Pro. Need help converting MPEG-2 to use.

I am a beginner at Final Cut Pro. I have mpeg-2 video footage that I am trying to import the footage into Final cut, but can't. I understand I need to convert the file format. I am unfamiliar with how to go about the converding file formats and the codec what is the best way to go about converting the file format so I can edit it on Final cut pro?

Where did the files originate? (How were they created?)
Some formats can be brought in with the help of plug-ins.
MPEG Streamclip can usually convert them to Quick Time.

I Just bought Final Cut Pro X and now I find out

I just bought Final Cut Pro X, I have used Final cut Express 4 with no problem using a firewire supported camera, Now I find out there is no video camers I can buy for Final cut Pro X for under $500, all the video cameras are now USB and for PC Microsoft based computers, What the He..? Does anybody know of a video camera (AVCHD) HD for around $300 to $400 I can buy, I really do not want to buy off ebay ...I'm not sure what Apple's policy is on returning software That has been downloaded but If I can't find a video camera for this software...I want my mony back. Help??
Oh buy the way I'm just doing short 3 min SHORT clips for web etc, I have a Mac Mini Ver. OS 10 10.7.3, CS5.5

I don't understand what you are saying. It doesn't make sense and is not true.
Cameras using FireWire are now a thing of the past. These were the traditional Mini-DV tape types that we have known for the last 15 years.
Almost every camera made nowadays is AVCHD which is ideal for FCP X and their prices start at about £180.
They use USB instead of FireWire but that is no problem whatsoever.
They work perfectly and are much better in many ways than the old mini-DV tape cameras.
I am a complete dinosaur, always harking to the past, but even I have embraced them as a fantastic step forward.
And they are very cheap!
I could go on and on.
So what is the problem?
You can buy a brand new AVCHD camera for £180 which will work perfectly with FCP X or you can use your old mini-DV tape camera.
It's a win-win situation however you look at it.
P.S. You can ignore the list of recommended cameras. It is completely meaningless as new cameras are being produced all the time and there is no way Apple could get hold of them and test them even if it wanted.
Take my word, almost every camera made will work perfectly with FCP X.
I would say that every camera will work but there may be some weird type to prove me wrong.
