Final Cut Server: Files not importing...

Hello,
We have the strangest thing happening in Final Cut Server.
Here's the process:
1. We work on the project and link to videos already on FCServer
2. We sometimes import/link local files from the local system into the project
3. When we "check-in" the project, we obviously expect those local files to import into FCServer. If the files are on the desktop or any one of our ethernet servers, they run great. We would like to put the files on a local Fiber drive, but when we do - It doesn't import and when FCServer gets the entire project checked-in, it shows the media as missing. The fiber drive is not local to FCServer on purpose, so it'll ingest the media.
Any ideas?

After running tons of tests, still only happening for one person. We haven't been able to replicate it for more than that one person. I ran even more tests today and not seeing the issue. Must be something that person is doing incorrectly. The same person went through 2 computers with two totally different installs and had the same issue, however - Every other system/person I try this with it works without issue. I'm gonna close this discussion as I can't replicate it.

  • One or more of the updates requested by Final Cut Server could not be...

    We are getting the warning " One or more of the updates requested by Final Cut Server could not be applied. (one or more replacement file(s) had unexpected track settings.)" when a FCPv6.06 (possibly also FCPv7.0) project file is checked-out of Final Cut Server v1.5.1. The assets linked to the project are cached down successfully (this in not an XSAN environment) but opening the project alerts to some offline media files (not all) and we need to manually relink them to the assets in the Final Cut Server cache. All is good again until the project file is checked-out of FCSvr to another workstation.
    Having a look at the path of the offline files it is referencing the path of the assets as they were on the previous editor's (different) workstation. None of our workstations have the same path to the Final Cut Server cache.
    My understanding and experience is that FCSvr manages the paths for FCP linked assets and modifies the checked-out file's path to point to the workstation's FCSvr cache?
    Can you tell me how I can resolve this issue?

    I may have resolved this issue today or I'm at a stage where I can't replicate it. The problem may have been propagating from a within a template FCP project file we use to start our productions. I assume it was a corruption of the FCP file that FCSvr didn't recognise?

  • Final Cut Server Client not opening

    Please someone help me out. I have been trying to get this for a few days.

    Try removing the FCSvr client from your local machine and then reinstalling it from the web installer while you are connected via VPN. Run these commands in Terminal to remove it:
    rm -r ~/Library/Caches/Java/
    rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.finalcutserver/
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finalcutserver.plist
    rm -r ~/Desktop/Final Cut Server.app
    Sometimes my client just won't launch like you are seeing and reinstalling it within whatever network connection I'm using gets it working again.

  • Final cut pro files not present

    I have a FCP project that I have been working on for a year and have made DVD's from through compressor. Suddenly when I open compressor it states that there are no files associated with this project.
    Another user suggested I trash the preferences, but am loath to do this incase it makes things worse as I'm not very clued up on some of the systems functions.
    Please help

    I have posted twice today and am getting answers that don't make any sense to me. The problem occurs in Final Cut when I go to export a project with compressor, I get a message that there are no files associated with the project. Someone suggested I change my preferences, i didn't understand that and am wary to satrt fiddling around in preferences.
    i have exported and burned this project to DVD several times before and now cannot???
    Any more suggestions would be appreciated.

    Re: final cut pro and compressorMar 22, 2012 4:04 PM (in response to DBLewis) 
    My assumption is this is a FCP 6 or 7 and the older compressor, right? Just to be sure that it is not FCP X and the new compressor! Though you posted here and the knowledge base is somewhere else, I will try to help as much as I know.You will need to save a compressor file to make compressor remember every setting you have done. Compressor doesn't simply remember this automatically.If you still have the FCP file with the associated media, you can easily re-export the project to compressor again and do it again. As a back, you should also consider a full quality export of your project, which you can then re-encoded to different formats. Hope this will help.

    CCan you give more details? What camera did it come from? What do see in the import window? Maybe post a screenshot.

  • Final Cut shortening files on import

    Hi,
    When I import my files into Final Cut, they are being shortened by about 10%. The file works and is full length outside of Final Cut. The shortened files also work in Final Cut. The files being imported were mp4s that have been converted to mov files (422) using MPEG stream clip. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
    Thanks

    I looked for the file name in finder, and it can't be found, my best guess is that somehow it got dropped into one of those places finder doesn't bother to "expand" or look in. I just can't imagine a whole file dissappearing like that. This is not the first time it's happened. Theoretically wherever I drag that file, even if it goes missing, or ends up out of the original media folder, it should still be on the hard drive somewhere. I've run a data recovery software on the card it came off, and I'm running a long scan on my computer, its recovered alot of files so far, havent had the chance to look at them, since I'm at work now...

  • Final Cut Server Metadata will not transfer to FCP

    Hello,
    I am new to Final Cut Server and am encountering a couple of issues. A big one is that the metadata from quicktime clips stored into final cut server will not transfer when I put these same clips from the server into FCP.
    Any idea why? The metadata is with each asset in the server but won't transfer when the clips are transferred into FCP.
    Any suggestion would be great!
    Thanks.

    FCP only supports specific types of metadata.  What specific metadata fields are you looking to export with the clip?  Also, "how" are you getting these clips from FCSvr to FCP?

  • Respect original media creation date in final cut server ?

    my question is...
    is there any way for final cut server to respect the original finder creation date of the media? I do understand that the file is being newly created in the database and thus will have a creation and modification date of when you put it in, but is there a way to tell the database to change the data.
    Why am i trying to do this?
    I have a bunch of old footage that has a creation date reflecting the actual date the footage was created off the camera. I use this date created to find footage in my database such as all footage from a shoot between 10/2/09 and 10/8/09.
    What i have tried:
    I have tried using the A Better Finder Attributes application to change the date created after i have imported the footage into final cut server. this caused issues with the proxy and thumbnail creation when i went to reanalyze the footage to see what it would do. I saw that final cut server does not look at the file itself to know when it was created and only logs this creation date in its own database without looking to the original file for this information.
    I currently have a field in final cut server to manually enter the date but this is yet another step that someone needs to take when importing footage to server and the less steps the better.
    do i have any options for final cut server 1.5 to respect the finder creation date of the original media? or change it after the import into fcserver?
    What good is the creation date in fcserver if you have amassed years of old footage to be put into your database and find footage based on date it was originally created?
    or what good is the creation date if you are on a shoot and do not get to ingest the footage until you get back, say maybe a few weeks later? how would you know when you shot which footage on what day?
    Thanks for your help

    H.264 is a puzzling choice of codec for edit proxies. H.264 is not an edit-friendly codec since it is a complex long-GOP structure and will require a ton of rendering just to play back the timeline. ProRES 422 Proxy would be a much better choice for editing. I'm afraid I can't account for the differences between Compressor and FCServer in this case, but my gut tells me the non-I-frame codec you are trying to use for edit proxies might have something to do with it. Maybe for an edit-proxy workflow to operate properly on the server-side the codec must be I-frame? Is there any reason you do not want to use ProRES 422 Proxy? They are about 1/3 the footprint of 720p24 DVCPRO-HD, which is already very efficient. For that frame rate and frame size they would be roughly half the heft of good ol' DV25.
    So my answer to all three questions would be to try ProRES 422 Proxy for your edit proxies and see if everything lines up.

  • Long HDV and XDCAM clips through Final Cut Server

    Hi,
    I know that I could post this in Compressor and/or Quicktime and/or Leopard/Tiger Forums, but as this problem it`s causing my Final Cut Server to not working well, I think it makes sense to post here.
    To resume: HDV and XDCAM clips (all on original codec, only xdcam transferred to mov in xdcam transfer) with file size bigger than exactly 4GB always FAILS in "Final Cut Server"/"Compressor alone in ANY machine installed from scratch"/"Anything that uses Quicktime". Source and Destination being localy or networked. DV or DV50 can get bigger than that, I`ve never seen this error with DV`s codecs.
    I had seen this problem before I bought final cut server. When I was transcoding our interviews for transcription. We always worked with BETA SP and captured in DV or DV50. We were starting to go to HDV and now to XDCAM and this error has started to appear.
    I have a "proxy" made a year ago from a HDV and it`s original has 8GB. I tried this file again and as I expected didn`t work. In ANY computer with any installations with only the latest updates. I`ve remembered that I was using Tiger at this time, and Quicktime/Tiger/ProApps had a old version.
    My two cents are that some update from Tiger/Leopard/QuickTime/ProApps made this happen.
    So ANY HDV/XDCAM file bigger than 4GB it`s FAILING in ANY system. (Tiger or Leopard, With or without FCP and QT PRO, Installed from scratch and updated every thing).
    Some tests I`ve made:
    -Compressor works with this two codecs to lower res in TIGER and with QuickTime Version 7.4.0 and LOWER. (had to be tested, but I think that was my version of QT when I managed to make the proxy of this two codecs).
    -Compressor doesn`t work on any system with QT above 7.4.0.
    -CATDV (http://www.squarebox.co.uk/) version 6 can make proxy versions of this two codecs in TIGER ONLY! They already know of this problem and CATDV 7 works on both.
    -Compressing in compressor with H.264 (same codec as the FCSvr proxy) BUT without changing the resolution, size and etc. Works OK in both Tiger and Leopard.
    -Exporting through QT works in ANY system BUT I loose TC, so it`s not an option (and I can`t input this workflow in FCSvr without using compressor).
    -Exporting from FCP as QuickTime Movie with H.264 doesn`t work on Both (Tiger and Leopard).
    -Exporting fro FCP as QuickTime Conversion with H.264 works but as exporting from QT I loose TC and can`t input this into FCSvr workflow.
    Error message are always: "QuickTime error = -50" or "QuickTime error: corrupted data" (and of course it`s not corrupted because it`s used - even in FCP to edit - and opened viewed, catdv can do proxy and everything).
    I`m surprised not to see anyone freaking out about this issue... I don`t think that It`s only me.
    This is some problems that I came across while trying to find a solution:

    Hi Chará!
    We should, but I think the others will be disappointed eheheheh.
    It doesn`t matter what version of Leopard I`m using (right know I`m using Leopard Server 10.5.6, but this issue has happened even with 10.4 if QT is updated and all updates of 10.5 up, as I`
    ve mentioned above).
    What file size are those clips that are longer than 10min?
    I really don`t get, how it`s possible that just the two of us has HDV and XDCAM files with file size longer than usual? Maybe people that do interviews don`t like to record the entire interview and when capturing those clips would be under this file size limit? Or maybe we are the only ones in the whole world that transcode longer HDV and XDCAM clips (it`s funny that it doesn`t even need to be FCSrv, with only ONE machine and compressor this issue happens all the time).
    I`m convinced that I have to install a Tiger version in a virtual machine with compressor and doesn`t update anything to test this further on. But I`m certain that with TIGER and CATDV this works ok! And I think that CATDV uses QT engine to do this transcodes.
    This is too much of a mystery to me. Maybe it`s time to spend 24+ hours with apple in a international call and probably not getting anywhere.
    I`m only posting this here in FCSrv forum because this issue it`s must worse when you have hundreds of clips with this issue and if you bought the package it doen`t matter if it`s a problem with QT+OSX or whatever, apple has to solve it for FCSrv use.
    Do you reckon?

  • Final Cut (Server) as an application server for web-video ??

    Hi,
    we are currently evaluating different solutions to automatically postprocess video files, which are uploaded to a web-server.
    The video files are flash-videos (flv) uploaded from the public internet to our web-server. Each uploaded video has to be postprocessed, (applying some slight color grading and processing the audio with audio-units plugins) and finally converted to a h264 video file. The Webserver and the workstation are connected by ethernet or a fast internet connection.
    Is this possible with the Final Cut (Server) automation features?
    Any feedbacks, ideas or alternatives are welcome.
    Thanks in advance fom Berlin, Gemany,
    Manfred

    Final Cut Server's video processing is limited to what Compressor can be set up to do with a file. The rest of the automation potential lies with communication among teams of users and file movement. FLV is not readable by default (via QuickTime), so you would still need the Episode Engine plugin to be able to process FLV inputs. Final Cut Server does not script the comings and goings of the applications in the Final Cut Studio suite, it is a tool for managing multiple artists and editors all batting work around to each other and feeding it to producers for approval and feedback.

  • Final Cut Server Edit Proxy

    Hi,
    I need to do remote editing (with FCP7) over small bandwith WAN (1Mbps) therefore I configure Final Cut Server (V1.5.1) Edit Proxy to use a Quicktime H.264 codec with the following parameters:
    File Extension: mov
    Estimated size: unknown
    Audio Encoder
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    Video Encoder
    Format: QT
    Width: (100% of source)
    Height: (100% of source)
    Pixel aspect ratio: Default
    Crop: None
    Padding: None
    Frame rate: (100% of source)
    Frame Controls: Automatically selected: Off
    Codec Type: H.264
    Multi-pass: Off, frame reorder: On
    Pixel depth: 24
    Spatial quality: 0
    Min. Spatial quality: 25
    Temporal quality: 50
    Min. temporal quality: 25
    The workflow is:
    The remote editor choose on Final Cut Server the FCP project he has to work on, do a Check Out of the project on his Final cut Pro 7 local station by selecting "use: edit proxy" and "keep media with project". Project and associated footage are then uploaded from the server to the remote FCP7 station with no problem.
    When the upload is complete, the editor simply open the project file to start editing on his station. This workflow was working allright till january: when opening the project the FCP7 doesn't reconnect the media with an error message:
    "one or more of the updates requested by Final Cut Server could not be applied. (one or more replacement (s) had unexpected track setting.)" and media files are Offline! When trying to reconnect manually by indicating the proper path for the missing files, I have to uncheck "Matched Name and reel only" to select the edit proxy files. It looks like it was still linked with the original media...
    Looking at the project file, the paths for the proxy files are the proper ones...

    If I change the Edit Proxy setting for ProRes 422 (Proxy) on Final Cut Server edit proxy setting then the reconnection is working OK. I cannot use this workaround as the files are then far too big to be tranferred over a 1Mbps WAN.
    The setup with the Quicktime H.264 edit proxy was working fine after, it seems, the installation of Pro applications update 2009-01 issued end of october 2009, but since january 2010 it does not work anymore.
    Final Cut Server is version 1.5.1 with Mac Os X server is 10.5.8
    Editing station are running Final Cut Pro 7.0.1 and Mac Os X 10.5.8
    What could be wrong ? Does anybody encountered this type of problem?
    Any suggestions welcomed!
    Thanks.

    I'm dealing with this issue right now (FCSv 1.5.1 latest pro app updates, 10.6.2, FCP7). I was under the impression that you could make edit proxies that were 25% resolution (as opposed to just using an efficient codec), but Final Cut Pro is having a rough time getting it right. I too am only getting success with ProRes-Proxy, audio passthrough, and 100% res/everything else. I tried using Apple Intermediate Codec with default "100%" settings and audio passthrough but had no luck. It's way heavier than ProRes Proxy anyways.
    The only suggestion I can make is try your h264 solution with audio passthrough (or Linear PCM) instead of AAC. If that makes a difference we're on to something. Some people started having this issue after an iTunes update, so maybe AAC is the source of the problem.
    The edit proxy workflow really needs tweaking from Apple to cater to internet-based solutions rather than fiber/SAN environments where bandwidth is a non-issue.
    I'll report back later after some more testing.

    Are you installing on 10.8.2 as your profile suggests?  OS X 10.6.8 is the last version FCSVR 1.5 was compatible with. 
    If you're running 10.6.8 and are still having issues, try removing FCSVR prior to reinstalling by using the following article (backup your db beforehand, of course).

    Aha! I was able to solve the problem thanks to the help of another editor.
    Open Java Preferences (Applications > Utilities)
    Click the check box on the first page to allow web applets
    Under the security tab, there will be an existing Security Certificate (signed by Apple Inc.) that is likely for FCSvr. Delete the certificate.
    Open FCSvr again, and Java will prompt you as to allow it or not. Click Allow and tell it to remember for future use.
    Badabing, badaboom! FCSvr is back up and running!

  • Open Source Final Cut Server

    It would make sense to open source Final Cut Server instead of discontinuing it. Many depend on it and have massive asset libraries and workflows that will not be moving any time and need support. QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server is open source and thriving. Final Cut Server should be given that chance as it still has many uses and a lot of potential in areas that Apple hasn't explored.
    Apple please give back to community of loyal users and pro's around the world by open sourcing Final Cut Server and not letting it sit on the shelf like Shake collecting dust when it could be so much more!

    I agree with this. We have invested too much to simply abandon our infrastructure and explore other options. Open source would be in everyone's best interest. I encourage you to visit the FCSvr feedback page and recommend this. http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutserver.html. Please be constructive - there has been enough temper tantrums and gripes about FCSvr being killed and the new way the FCPX works.  Please be detailed about how you use FCSvr, any customization you've done, especially if they involve using the command line tools and scripting in any form. I personally have invested countless hours pouring over bash scripts, scouring the 43 "px" tables in the postgres database looking for ways to improve our setup, and writing libraries of functions to make scripting easy. I figured out how to customize our distribution to make it do what we need it to do, to serve our business and our clients. If the road ends here, was that all for nothing? FCSvr is a great product. I know that it doesn't jive with FCPX new ways of thinking. I know FCPX has range keywording and metadata capabilities. But what of a notification system? What of a transcoding server? What of subscription/responses triggering actions like archiving to tape? What about support for changing metadata with third party solutions? What about publishing the catalog to online services like MediaSilo? There are countless functions that have become part of the workflow of professional production companies. FCSvr has totally changed the way we work and think about our assets. I was just beginning to get somewhere with our producers and editors, and I really don't want to stop now. Open sourcing FCSvr would give developers the opportunity to write their own modules for FCSvr, we could see support for all kinds of functionality. It's not going to happen though if you don't tell them you need it.  Send your feedback using the feedback page. Talk to the vendor you bought FCSvr from or the person who installed it in your organization and encourage them to have this discussion with the people at Apple who can make a difference. Please take action, don't just gripe and make broad stroke suggestions here on the forum. Thanks for your time.

  • Final Cut Server and Compressor / Qmaster serial conflict

    On my Final Cut Server machine, i have Final Cut Server version 1.1.1. On my Mac Pro i have Final Cut Studio 7. I have installed Compressor and Qmaster on my Final Cut Server from the Final Cut Pro DVD, so i can use Qmaster (the version of Qmaster must match exactly on all machines). But the two serials conflict, Final Cut Server will not start due to the following problem:
    "Either the current serial number is not valid or there is another server using the same serial number.
    Check the serial number and then stop and start the server using the Final Cut Server Preferences panel."
    Of course both serials is completely legit. Is it really true that i either need to downgrade Compressor and Qmaster (FCS will work, but Qmaster will not) or buy FCS 1.5? I have paid lots of money for this setup already, it can't be true that i am forced to update to 1.5.
    Please Apple, a solution?

    I have a similar case. Maybe someone knows how to solve it:
    We installed Final Cut Server and on the same MacPro we installed Final Cut Studio.
    After a while we dedicated this machine to Final Cut server and used the Final Cut Studio license on another nachine.
    Now, if I want to change or add a transcode setting in the compressor, I'm getting the error message: 'conflicting serialnumber' or something like it.
    So compressor thinks it's still part of th FinalCutStudio installation. But I don't quite understand, because Final Cut Server has its own compressor, isn't it?
    How can I solve this without loosing the custom transcode settings I've made in compressor.

  • Final Cut Server Make Link Not working. And I could almost swear this wrkd

    I am trying to create a link to a new primary representation of an asset ( I am using a script to move it due to space constraints) and I cannot relink to the new file with:
    sudo ./fcsvr_client make_link --llinktype 2 /asset/4387 /dev/19/Set%20Test%201.mov
    CODE = E_DATABASE, DESC = ERROR: null value in column "childentityid" violates not-null constraint, SRC_FILE = PmsTask_Db.C, SRC_LINE = 295
    I cannot create a link of ANY type.. Even if I try a link type of 15 for edit proxy it wont complete... Now here is something interesting thought.. I one time accidentally hot the return key before I had completed type out the movie name and it created a link to /dev/19 successfully .. Of course that doesn't work because it is a device not a movie...
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi -
    I have recently dealt with this issue - the command line error is because FCS is trying to "make" the link, but cannot link to a file that is not already associated with some kind of Final Cut Server "entity", be it on the parent side of the link, or child side.
    I would ask, if you're replacing one primary rep with another, why you can't simply replace the file on the device, with the exact same filename?
    At any rate, if you need to run make_link, you'll need to have the file associated with an FCS entity already, before running make_link. For some proxies in our workflows, this is accomplished by creating a "proxy" asset to be the entity in question, and then running make_link as you described.
    I hope that helps!
