Final Cut ProX Users - Lets get this thing working

I was with FCP from day one. Adobe Premiere was always breaking and needed fixing every month so I jumped ship.
I did not move from FCP 6.06 to 7 as I had a funny feeling that something was afoot. So I waited.
Now, I have a copy of FCPX I am am going to see in the next few days just how broken it is. I would suggest that if you have persevered and like me, cannot resist a challenge and decided to give it a go.
Hang in there and use this post to flag up any ideas, fixes or for those things you just cannot work out.
So here goes:
Before firing up X create a 'test' folder on your external RAID. Because that is where we keep our projects and media ...don't we?
Drop into this test folder copies of differing media and file formats. I have unwrapped XDCAM, P2, pngs, aifs NTSC and PAL media. Anything you can think of.
Be sure to give all your test footage and files names that relate to the format. ie XDCAM 720p 50 PAL. You may need to use Spotlight to track down lost content.
It is important you do this so as to keep the first trial of X as simple as possible. You need to know exactly where all your media is coming from and going to to.
Open X and explore the preferences first.
Open the import dialog explore all your options on this. This is where you will be able to send an (event) project and set up how and where referenced media is located. Don't rush it.
Don't Panic
Note:
Once downloaded X will appear to wipe out 7.
If you try to open a 7 project it will get a message 'no app' right click and use open with.
Quit X first.
7 project will work just fine.

please post this in the Final Cut ProX forum where you will receive a reply.
FCPX it is a completly different application as this is the to the Final Cut Studio version

I recently updraded the oporating system on my 4S phone and now I can't get my email. I've rebooted several times to no avail. What should I do to get this thing working again?

I recently upgraded my phone software to iOS 6 and now my email will not download. I have tried to reboot the phone to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this phone working again?

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

About to buy MacBook Pro & Final Cut if I can get this answered

I have a Sony HD camera to export the video files as .m2ts files. Without converting them, will Final Cut Express be able to edit these video files, or will I have to go with Final Cut Studio for it to work? Basically, I'm trying to edit to stay in 1080i HD, so I need to know:
1. Will a 13-inch MacBook Pro will be enough to power HD video editing?
2. Will Final Cut Express allow you to edit .m2ts files without converting?
3. Will Final Cut Express allow you to render your completed project in its full 1080i resolution?

I can't answer your Final Cut Express questions, but I can suggest against the MBP 13-inch. I was looking at getting one myself till I learned that the video card in the 13 inch unit is not sufficient to run Motion. If I'm not mistaken it won't run Color either. Missing both of these applications is a huge loss. If you're going to get a MBP and intend on editing get at least the 15 inch model with GeForce 9600m graphics. You'll thank yourself for the extra screen space anyway.

I tried downloading Final Cut ProX but my computer said that "this computer cant download Final Cut ProX" and i dont know why?

Another user who can't get this thing started, Listener will not operate!!!

I installed from root, used port 8085 for the database (8080 used by Tomcat) and 1521 for the listener. Logged out, log back in as user oracle. Takes three full minutes to "start" the listener, but netstat -a does not show any listener on port 1521, despite listener startup saying "Command successful". Starting database, then 'lsnrctl status' returns the following:

All firewalls are completly disabled, except for my router which has ports 8085 and 1521 open. So, 1) Where is the listing for the listening in netstat -a? and 2) Why are my database services blocked? I've been trying for a week to get this thing started, I need it for work. I can log in to the database through SqlPlus, so it is there and running fine, but the listener is not working, and I cannot get to the database home page.

Checked the listener log. Doesn't look good. Keep saying host or object does not exist!!

How to Import and Edit a 60i video to Final Cut ProX

Hi Final Cut ProX community,
I just recently purchased a Sony HDR - JP650V Camcorder which shoots 24p, 60i and 60p. I've been shooting long video's and the only frames per second I can use is 60i for this specific camcorder.
Recording mode

(4 h 55 min)
[Long Time ]60i
12 h 30 min
(10 h 15 min)
11 h 15 min
(9 h 15 min)
I've been trying to shoot in 60i and then import it to Final Cut Pro X and edit it for YouTube but everytime I import it the inspector tells me it's a 1440x1080 | 29.97 fps. I know I have the camera set to [Long Time ]: 1440 1080/60i quality, AVC HD 5M (LP).
How can I get Final Cut ProX to recognize the 60i fps when importing the video vs the 29.97 fps?
Reading some forms and being new to the video world could this be because of the i stands for "interlacing" which is 30 fps x 2, so FCPX only registers 30 (29.97fps).
Could that be the issue?

Brandon,
I also use Sony's HDR-PJ50V camcorder to record seminars at remote locations. These seminars are four days long, with some presentations lasting up to 1.5 hours or more.
Each evening, I back-up the days proceedings to an external hard drive.
I record in the 60i mode as it only takes up half the cameras hard drive space. The photos and videos that I use for my outros are recorded in 60p and appended to the end.
I export video to QT7, process it in Compressor, and send to YouTube. See the excellent link below.
I also drag the QT7 file to Toast for DVD burning.

Also see this YouTube link, especially the the 60p ending.

On the fifa 14 iTunes app it won't let me turn on device music, how can I get this to work?

On the fifa 14 iTunes app it won't let me turn on device music, how can I get this to work?
I have bought full access to it.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library. I could not get this to work per the instructions.

I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203. My iTunes library is on an external drive. I cannot get this to work. Any suggestions?

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

Hi,
1. Make sure you have the camera connected via Firewire (i link)
2. The Camera is turned to "play" and, if you are capturing HDV, in the camera menu, it is set to i link "OFF"

Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried a number of different values. Usually when I do a negative offset they're very small values, like -.25 or -.5.
An Update- I took the art work into Ai CS 6 and It still did not work, which is really strange. And I've used it hundreds of times with success in the past. Also I tried it with live type and outlines, ungrouped, un-compounded still could not get it to negative offset.
Thanks for the help.
