I have this problem whit Final Cut Pro. >>> The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
Tengo este problema con Final Cut Pro.
This happens when I render.

Guessing that your version of FCPX is old and that you need to update it from the App Store.

Importing transitions from imovie to final cut problems

Hello, I made a musicvideo in imovie, it´s all finished with cuts and transitions but I want to make the "final touch" with balance, colours etc in final cut.
The problem: when I import the imovie project into final cut pro x the clips and the transitions changes the duration so the clips nolonger sync with the music and some of the clips are much longer/shorter than the original. I don´t want to do all the job again, editing and add new transitions in final cut as it already took me a long time......Anyone have any solution?

You can delete the transitions in iMovie and re-add them after importing into FCP X. Granted, this is some work, but it should not be all that much. It is easy to add a number of transitions and to set their parameters all at once.
Like BenB said, transitions behave differently in both programs, and they do not match, so this conversion can cause problems, as you are now well aware.

Final cut to photoshop to after effects back to final cut problem

Hello there,
I shall explain my problem.
I am working with three different programs. Finla cut 7, photoshop, and after effects.
I have taken a jpeg still from final cut to work in photoshop.
In phtoshop I have layered a project to work in after effects to make an animation.
The animation is then exported back from after effects into final cut.
When I do this I realise that the dimensions of the animation differs from the original sequence from where the still was taken.
I work with PAL.
The still from the sequence is 768 x 576. I create a still using 'export- Using quick time conversion'. I do not understand why the image obtained does not have the format 720x576 as it says the film sequences have in final cut pro settings.
When I edit it in photoshop, I create an image that has the 'film-video' setting but the image still does not match the frame. I have noticed there was the setting PAL1/DV square pixel but it still does not match the original format after editing in after effect.
Why is this?
Thank you

Hello mylenium,
Thank you very much for the link.
I now manage to have the same image size when working in final cut.
I hope you do not mind me asking another question. I seem to lose a little bit of resolution. Could this be because i transfer an image worked onto photoshop to after effect and then back to final cut?
I have changed the file dimension before importing it into after effect (from 768x576 to 720x576) and i export the after effect file using quick time in the setting, thus reimporting a .mov file into final cut.
Thx
Best

Final Cut Problem - Duplicate frames when using add composite

I have a problem with Final cut hopefully someone will be able to help.
Clip A & Clip B on one layer and Clip C on another, being used as a transition between the two. Composite mode 'Add' being used on Clip C
When Clip C overlaps both clips in the timeline it causes duplicate frames in Clip B during the 'transition'. If I move it to just overlap Clip A the duplicate frames disappear.
Any thoughts appreciated
Thanks

Hi -
No apologies necessary! I think it may be some of the terms you are using that are throwing me off. A couple more questions:
prayforsnow wrote:
I exported my movie as a mov (HDV 720p) from imovie and imported into final cut.
I then split the clip with the razor tool into the edits I had previously made in imovie with the intention of adding my compositing clip as a transition between these clips.
OK, I follow that up to "adding my compositing clip as a transition between clips". The compositing clip is the film burn effect that you have built as a separate clip?
I needed to split the clips so that I could move them around the timeline and align them with the composition clip I had. If i don't the composition clip will play for too long over the other clips.
Meaning you needed to adjust your edits so that the film burn will fit correctly as a transition over the scenes below, not masking too much of the scene?
The screenshot I have provided does not show them apart. It just shows the clip split ready to be moved.
OK
Upon adding my composition clip, frames from the end of the first clip are added to the start of the second creating a 'one cycle loop' regardless of whether these clips are joined (as shown in my screen shot) or moved apart.
Meaning if you separate the two clips, so that there is an actual gap between them, you still see frames from the first clip where there is only gap on the track below?
If i move the composition clip so that it only overlaps one of the clips ( so not really a transition anymore) the extra frames disappear. Move it back and they appear
Meaning if you place the film burn composite over a clip without a transition, it works as expected?
My only question is if, when you adjust the clips by separating them to get your desired spacing, is there really a gap between the first and second clip, or do you drag the end of the first clip to fill in the space created by the gap? That would cause the frames at the beginning of clip 2 to be repeated as they are being shown on the end of the previous (now extended) clip.
Thanks

We've just downloaded Maverick and the new final cut 10.1. On two separate computers it has crashed and we have lost our entire project that we were editing. Not sure if it is a final cut problem or maverick. Any suggestions on how to get the timeline

We just installed maverick and the new final cut. On 2 separate computers we have had it crash while using final cut and have lost the project. Now we are reading that our time machine is not working with maverick. Any suggestions on how to get timeline back from the new final cut? Thought it was suppose to save automatically.

Final Cut : Problem with audio edition

The viewer has disappeared all of a sudden (I am editing a sound piece with Final Cut). When I click into a audioclip, the viewer window does not appear anymore. Can somebody help me ? Thank you.

I think you need to post your question on the Final Cut Studio forum.

Sending footage from Color to Final Cut problem

Hello guys,
I am shooting 7D video so I transcode everything to Apple Prores (progressive).
Then.. I edit in FCP and send it to Color. When I finish coloring I send to FCP again, and then I export my timeline to a quicktime video. MY HUGE problem is that whenever I color correct my footage in Color..using the workflow I just described, the final quicktime file becomes interlaced!!!! If I avoid doing color correction in Color I dont get this problem.
Any ideas???
Thank you very much.

Could you 2x your sequence settings in FCP? Make sure it's a prores progressive at the start of this process.
Also, you're just exporting a QT 'full' (or reference) - not a QT conversion, right?

Audio And Video out of sync in Final Cut, but not in quicktime

I heave searched the forums to no end to find the solution to this issue, unfortunatley, I have not solved the problem.
I am using Final Cut 4.5 on a G4 running OSX 10.3.4. This system has worked perfectly for years with no problems. Neither the system, hardware, or software has ever been changed on this machine. Suddenly last week, despite perfect sync while previewing the capture, the Audio and Video were of sync in Final Cut, but when checked in quicktime, there were no problems. That is how I eventually figured out this was a final cut problem.
By out of sync, I don't mean it is by a specific number of frames that can be adjusted and then everything is fine, the sync seems to drift so that if you edit the audio to be in sync in one part of the video, it won't be at the end. Also, it is out of sync from the first frame played, not a gradual drift.
This is definitely not an issue of frame rates or final cut settings as will be evident by the steps I took below to find the source of this problem.
This is what I did to attempt to fix the problem:
- Check drives using disc utility and repair permissions
- Remove Final Cut Preferences using Apple guidelines
- Switch hard drives
- Delete Final Cut and reinstall newer version of final cut (since the capture files played fine on Final Cut 5.1 on another machine)
- reinstall entire OSX 10.3.9, wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Final Cut 5.1
- switch ram slots, and even replace ram with different sticks from another G4 machine
None of these solutions worked. Is there some hardware problem with my G4 that is suddenly causing Final Cut to play audio and video out of sync?
Hope you can help, otherwise this otherwise great G4 is going in the dumpster!
Thanks

For what it's worth, I'm having what looks to be the same problem. Driving me insane. Here's what's going on-
Editing in FCP 6.0.2
QT was just updated to 7.3.1 the other day (hmm)
On an MacBookPro machine, OS 10.5.1
Software updater says everything's up to date of course.
DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal (footage was shot at 24PA on a DVX100b)
In Quicktime, the file previews fine, everything's in sync, everyone's happy. In FCP, the video and audio are wildly out of sync. I did a test inside of quicktime and sliced out a small portion of the media clip and did a "save as" and this small slice played in sync in FCP. However, this did not work for the entire clip. Clip is weighing in at 5.58GB for a 32 minute run.
I'm trying to multicam 2 tapes together and manually syncing these up is proving to be difficult at best. When anyone gets any ideas/leads/patches, let us know.
Grr,

That solution worked like a charm on the MAC workstations but it still does not work on the Windows XP workstations. Is there anything that addresses that issue?

Final Cut Freezing Constantly: Pinwheels of Death!

Hey all,
I am editing a project in Final Cut 7.0.3, and about every 5-10 minutes I have to stop editing for 1-3 minutes while the pinwheel of death spins 'round and 'round. The problem is specific to my Mac computer.... when I edit the project on a Macbook laptop, the project works fine, despite the fact that this Mac is immensely more powerful than the Macbook.
I've searched multiple on-line forums, and have already tried the following:
(1) Rebooted Final Cut Pro
(2) Rebooted the whole computer
(3) Rebooted the whole computer in safe mode (holding down the Shift key)
(4) Trashed my preferences
(5) Repaired disk permissions, verified disks, etc. (in Disk Utility)
(5) Checked to make sure I wasn't editing in some silly format like h.264
(7) Broke my larger sequence into many more tiny sequences of about five minutes each (and man, it takes forever to edit this way, and doesn't help that much).
Not sure if it's of any help, but here's some additional info:
The computer's processor is 2x3.2 GHZ Quat-Core Intel Xeon, memory is 8 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-Dimm.
I'm editing EX-1 footage, and my Easy Setup looks like this:
My sequence settings look like this, which works brilliantly with my footage (no render bars--green, red, or otherwise):
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Hey there, David,
My media is stored on an external hard drive: a 2.0 TB Lacie drive, which is 1.9 TB full. My guess is that you'll tell me that this hard drive is too full and I should put media onto an emptier drive. This external hard drive is mirrored identically onto another hard drive of the same make and model. I use this mirrored drive (also 1.9 TB out of 2.0 full) with my Macbook laptop--same media, same project--and it works totally fine.
Oddly enough, my Mac boots off of a different eternal hard drive. Due to problems with the internal drive, the system drive is now a 500 GB Lacie external hard drive; it is used nearly exclusively for booting the system, so only 50 GB are in use. The hard drive is connected with a firewire 800, the fastest connection the hard drive allows. Is it possible that booting the system off an external is bogging the system down?
One final addition to this stockpile of notes is that a professional editor recently stopped by to help me with other Final Cut problems, and he felt strongly that we change our presets to XDCAM EX. Before then, I was using the preset Apple ProRes 422, as shown in the image below. XDCAM EX is compatible with the camera's footage I was using, which seems like a cleaner set-up: no green render bars, etc. However, I wasn't having any of these pinwheel problems before we changed the settings. Is it possible that editing with XDCAM EX as a sequence setting is somehow overwhelming Final Cut? I'm not doing anything too intense--I'm happy to edit in a lower resolution now, and render it out later, so long as this will not effect getting the highest possible resolution in the end.

Final Cut Pro 6 on Mac OS Snow Leopard installation problem HELP!!!

After 2 - 3 hours of installing all 10 FCS 2.0 discs and Software Updates, I can't seem to launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. I get *"...software maybe damaged or not installed.."* So I removed all of them and only custom-installed Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. It works with no problem!!! Then I custom-installed Soundtrack, Motion, DVD Studio Pro etc..., I can't launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. again! What the **** is going on? I get that "damaged" warning and Final Cut Pro icon is replaced by missing application icon.
My Mac Pro also has _Pro Tools 8 LE_ with _003 Mixer Rack connect to USB_. That's it. No other application. You think this is maybe causing the problem?
Anyone having similar problem?

Carbon Copy Cloner is pretty simple to use. If you have any questions, post back or read the documentation. As I said in the user tip, test your clone after you make it to be sure it is bootable and your apps work.

I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6

Hello,
I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6 of 1920x1080 60p footage.
I transcoded MTS files shot on a Sony NEX FS100 into Apple Pro Res mov files but the
playback stutters in Final Cut and QTime making it impossible to edit. Is this because the files
are just so big the computer is having a problem processing them? If so what should I edit in to preserve the
best quality?
I am Running Mac OSX 10.6.8
2x2.4 Ghz Quad Core Intel
32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
Admittedly my FCUT is out of date, I intend to up to X when I finish off an ongoing project.
Thanks Luci

You might consider running diskwarrior on your drive (alsoft.com). And run diskutility, repair disk. A corruption of the drive could cause problems. Also, drive speed starts to fall sharply as the drive gets full. Make sure you have a minimum of 10% free space on the drive. You might also get a utility to check the speed of the drive. I think Aja has one.
Also, do you have anything else connected to the firewire bus? If so, try disconnecting it. You might also try disconnecting ethernet and turning off your airport. Resetting your fcp preferences couldn't hurt.

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.
