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?

Final cut 10.1 will not output or input thru Blackmagic intensity shuttle thunderbolt on 2013 Retina MBP while Premere Cs6 does

Final Cut 10.1 will not output or input thru Blackmagic intensity shuttle thunderbolt on 2013 Retina MBP while Premere Cs6 does

As I mentioned, Premere Cs6 has no issues with the BM Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt. This proves that the Mac sees the shuttle. iMovie, like FCPX 10.1 does not see it. Not sure if this is an Apple issue or a BlackMagic issue. I plan to contact BlackMagic on Monday out of curiosity. This issue is more of a surprise than a dead end. Happily there are easy workarounds for capture. I use the BlackMagic software to capture. My main issue seems to be that I am unable to use FCPX to output through the Shuttle. Fortunately I have a Mac Pro and an older BlackMagic card which has worked. It is so very nice to skim video on an SSD. No lag and no wear and tear on a mechanical hard drive. The 1Tb Apple SSD is shockingly fast. It is a new world.

Upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not work

upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not launch but my final cut express HD 3.0 version comes up. I reinstall my final cut express 4 upgrade disc and it still will not launch.
Where do I go from here?

You installed from the discs, right?
What happens when you try to launch? What are you doing to launch and what happens you do it? Can't see you computer from here. If you probably need to contact Apple with an installation issue on a new computer.

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!

Final Cut is Crashing--Will not Open

OK, I have repaired permissions, trashed preferences, unloaded all the audio plugins (mostly because they take forever when FCP opens), and finally reinstalled FCP Studio 2.
The only thing on my startup disk is OSX SL and programs. I always work off external drives. I have had this setup for some time now - since SL came out and all of a sudden FCP will not open, and I get the following Crash report. All other FCP Studio2 apps open.
I also have a recent install of Logic Studio, but FCP was working after this for a few weeks.
I have also seen this post that refers to illegal copies of FCP.
"Yes the answer is simple. The new prokit update recommended for users of FCP will DISABLE any version of FCP that might have come from a less-than-legitimate source if you know what I mean. very clever.
I got a new copy of FCP 6 and it installed and works perfectly but I won't be downloading any more apple updates unless I'm positive they don't contain any more "fixes" like this."
I have used FCP since version 1.x and have dutifully upgraded, except for the latest FCP Studio 3 upgrade. Listen, I need to use this program
Please Help!!

Shane,
Thanks!! I am aware of that software, after today. I will look into it. Is it through the FCS Maintenance Pack that I will have the ability to disable the offending plugin?
That is a bummer that it is that plugin as I wind up using that a lot for footage that is submitted by certain "monkeys" to the projects I work on. I actually call it the "Monkey Cam" filter.
In any case, I appreciate your help here. I removed the plugin from its folder and tries to open FCP and ...it crashed again. So it might be another plugin?
There was a lot more to the crash results, as I have a lot of plugins, but the board would not let me post such a long post. Would you be open to me adding this and running that too? I am not sure I want to drop the $130 or so on FCS Maintenance, and am kind of tossing around upgrading to FCS3 instead - in hopes that will fix the issue?
Let me know and I will post the remaining code. Mahalo.

My Final Cut pro x will not let me do 1 frame stills

I am working with a Time lapse and final cut x will not let me make the duration any shorter than 2 seconds. How do I over ride?

The selection duration can be made very small, but of course it's very difficult to deal with a one frame selection. Usually the best thing is to convert the image sequence to video before bringing it into FCP, or you can put all the items in the timeline, select them, and set the duration to one or two frames.

Final Cut X suddenly will not take my youtube credentials

I've been using Final Cut X to upload directly to Youtube for many months.
Suddenly today, it will not take my YouTube credentials on ANY of my 3 YouTube accounts...
It just gives me an "Invalid Account Name or Password" every single time.
I'm still able to upload to my vimeo account. Anyone else experiencing this? It happened out of nowhere. I upload 2-3 videos a day. None of my passwords have changed.

Hi, I am having this trouble now with FCP X not accepting my YouTube details. I can get to the
GOOGLE account settings, select SECURITY, but I cannot then find CONNECTED APPLICATIONS AND SITES.
so I can't then click REVIEW PERMISSIONS
Please help
Thank you

Final Cut Express 4 will not launch on my Mac

I have a mac OS X 10.5.8 and I have bought final cut express 4 but it will not launch on the computer. Please help.

There are solutions on this forum, search "Final Cut Express won't open," for some of them. Updating to FCE 4.01 is one solution. For HD it is another.

Final CUt Studio 2 will not run on my Mac Pro & Macbook Pros simultaneously

I was under the impression that the licensing contract for FCPS2 allowed for the software to be installed and run on a desktop and a portable machine simultaneously. Am I wrong? I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 legally, and have installed it on my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro, but if I try to open one of the FCS apps while one is running on the other computer, I get a protection error message and have to shut down the app. Does anyone know a workaround to this other than shutting off airport on one of the machines?

I was under the impression that the licensing contract for FCPS2 allowed for the software to be installed and run on a desktop and a portable machine simultaneously. Am I wrong?
Yes, you are wrong.
The license allows for the installation of a copy on each machine but they can not run simultaneously. The intention is to allow users to work with a laptp while away from the main editing machine. If you need the capability running two copies at the same time, buy another copy.
Good luck,

Final Cut Pro X will not open: Asking to "restore windows"???

Hey guys,
I have restarted, updated and done everything I can to get Final Cut Pro X (10.0.1) to open and I keep getting this alert >>> PHOTOBUCKET. I have done nothing new to my hardware or software (other than apples updates) since installing it a month ago from the app store.
The alert keeps asking me to either "Don't Restore Windows" or to "Restore Windows" and I clicked on both numerous times and I still get the "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly" alert which looks like this >>> PHOTOBUCKET after about 10 seconds of selecting either option.
Any ideas? -Joe

Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then if they get corrupted you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
Can't guarantee it, but it's worth a try.

Final Cut Pro X will not export my project - error 1

Hello everyone,
So Final Cut is giving me a hard time. I have a project about 15mins long that I would like to export as a master file and it just doesn't want to work. When I first finished and tried to export, I was using verison 10.0.8. I would select master file for the export and it would just sit there, stuck on 0%. I then realized that I needed to update. I updated to 10.0.9 and tried to do the same thing again - no luck. Next, I closed final cut and trashed preferences. I then opened up and tried exporting again, same thing happened, stuck on 0%. Then I closed again and trashed preferences again. I opened final cut, turned off background rendering, and trashed project render files and event render files (as was suggested in another discussion for export problems). After doing that, I again tried to export - still nothing. At this point of course, I had trashed the render files, so I figured I should just let the project render again. I turned background rendering back on and opened my project - now it would not render! It was stuck on 0%! Okay so I closed and reopened again. I first tried to copy my whole project into a new project and try letting it render that way - nope, didn't work. So I closed and opened again. I turned off background rendering and started a new project. I pasted just a section of my video into the new project and manually rendered that section, which worked. So I pasted the rest of the video (in chunks) into the new project, manually rendering chunk by chunk. Finally I had my whole project again, and the whole thing was rendered. I tried exporting again and got the error 1 message, "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 373 (error -1).". This is my current state of affairs, and its driving me crazy. I just want to export my project!
Please help....Thanks

Thank you. I found it now. This is a location where I did not expect this. I tried to do this using the GUI elements controlling how clips are displayed in the time line. I also was looking for a context menu item on the clip. I did not expect it in the preferences.

The sample audio files in Final Cut Pro X will not play

How can I hear the sample audio in Final Cut Pro X without dragging the clips onto the timeline. They used to play, but stopped after the computers were connected to Tenaka.

The only way to test it is to go to Network system prefrences and switch off all connections to networking. There are no plugins for FCP that are used for network connections.

Final Cut Pro X will not playback viewer contents on external monitor

Tried to follow directions to Playback the Final Cut ProX Viewer on a separate monitor.
Option Window > A/V Output greyed out. how do I use a second Monitor to view results?

Typically you need A/V output hardware from AJA or Blackmagic (and they are recommended for various reasons) but if you want to use your TV or display as a second monitor and also use them for FCP X playback then the trick is to disable the Mavericks feature in Mission Control: "Displays have separate spaces"
