Final cut proX wont auto save anymore.

While editting final cut pro pops up an error message saying " final cut pro cant save progress" click continue to continue to edit or quit. It does this everytime i try to edit. Please help...

Select the external drive and perform the Get Info command (command-I) on it. The permissions are at the bottom of Get Info (I think in the Sharing section). Does it show Read/Write for your user name?
One quick way to see if permissions is the problem is to just enable "Ignore Ownership". You might need to click the lock icon and enter an administrator username/password to change it. If enabling this option fixes your problem then you do have a permission problem.

I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

Hi Carsten...good luck with your project.. I had just about as many Video8 & Hi8 tapes as
you that I digitized and eventually brought into FCPX..took me many months not weeks
to do so,BTW, as each tape was 60-90 minutes in lenght...and many hundreds of
gigab ytes of storage ( uncompressed AVI files)..it's tedious work unless you plan to farm
it out to a processing house...also regarding eventual storage format...remember
Hi8 is 400 lines or about 540X480 in todays resoultion metrics..you can't make hi-def out
of source that starts out as 400 lines...in my case I rewrapped the avi files into .mov
containers and imported the mov files into FCPX where I got rid of the hundreds of
minutes of Colorado mountain landscapes to get to that one minute shot of the kids
on horseback ( late 80's for most of my archives)..so its a job..scouring thru 30X90 min
of source to not miss those precious memories takes diligence and hard work but its worth
it; eventually I encode the uncompressed video I want to save in H.264 format Staandard
Def not HiDef

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.

About Final Cut ProX: why a red line appears at the top o a file imported into a New Event? then when I restarted the Project that files comes as "Missed files" How can i fix it?

About Final Cut ProX: why a red line appears at the top o a file imported into a New Event? then when I restarted the Project that files comes as "Missed files" How can i fix it? Thank you very much.

Where are you importing from – a camera or computer? If you are optimizing at import, make sure the background processes are completed. (Command-9)

Hi, since i put some mp4 video or DVD files on my external hard drives final cut prox won't recognize my hard drives, i move all the video files and the problem still exist. somebody have the solution

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.

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

Will iDVD be able to recognise the chapter markers created from Final Cut ProX Ver 1.1 ?

Hi there,
It has been quite a while since I use iDVD from Final Cut Express 4 days. So, please excuse my ignorance.
Can I know whether iDVD will be able to recognise the chapter markers I created from Final Cut ProX Ver 1.1 ?
That is to say, if I share/export a file from FCPX and tick the "include chapter markers" box ...
Thanks

Ian R. Brown wrote:
I don't know but you can find out for yourself in a couple of minutes.
Make a one minute project (any old clip) and add several chapter markers.
Export it and drop it into iDVD to see whether the chapter markers are recognised.
Thanks Ian, problem is forgot how to use iDVD already ...
And i remember reading some where that iDVD cannot recognise the markers generated by the earlier version of FCPX. So I am not sure about the Ver 10.1
So I was thinking, if Ver 10.1 is still the same, I might as well no need to re-learn iDVD yet ... Hahaha
Cheers

Will Final Cut ProX recognize my project from previous FCP 7 version

Will Final Cut ProX recognize my projects from FCP 7 version?

No. It only recognizes iMovie projects.
Final Cut PRO, indeed.

Is there a way in Final Cut Pro 7 to save custom Batch Export settings?

Is there a way in Final Cut Pro 7 to save custom Batch Export settings?

Don't think so. Years ago, I seemed to figure out a way in an earlier version of fcp, but when I tried to recreate it, I couldn't make it work.
You can send to compressor and save custom presets there.

HT4589 Final Cut Pro wont launch anymore

I updated to the latest version of Final Cut Pro and now it wont launch. the window comes up and all I get is a spinning colourful wheel as a cursor and no way to operate the software.

Could be a problem within one or more of your Events or Projects.
Move your Events and Projects to new (temporary) folders so that FCP X doesn't find them on launch.
If it launches OK, then quit the app and move the Projects back one by one (re-launching each time). The media will be offline (red clips) but if it launches OK, quit again, and move the Events back one by one - re-launching each time you move an Event.
This should isolate the offending Event - you can then use a similar technique to track down the individual file.

Final Cut Express wont make make a self contained movie

Until recently I have always been able to export my movies from final cut express HD without any problems. They save as final cut express movie files. Now when I come to export a movie, I click on " make self contained movie" and what I get is a quicktime movie that is split into 3 parts, one named whatever I had told it to save as and the other 2 with the same name but -av1 or -av2 after it. If either of these is deleted the original wont play but they wont open on their own. There is sufficient hard drive space and they are all saved in the same folder. There appears to be a 2GB maximum file size as the first movie is 2 GB the second is 2 GB and the third is whatever is left over. Anything smaller than 4 GB just saves as a 2GB plus whatever is lreft over! They will play if original video clips are deleted so they are independent but wont play if one of the 3 is missing. Please help this is driving me scatty
Powermac G4/466 (upgraded to dual 1.4GHz), Macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Is the drive you aresaving to formatted to Mac OS Extended?
Sounds like it could be Mac Standard.
Also check in Prefernces that the file size export limit is not set to 2 gig.
