Final Cut to soundtrack pro - Error message

Hi all, I've been using soundtrack pro to edit a FC movie. On trying to apply it back into the movie I get an error message wich to me is
total gobbley gook, it reads.
NS range Exception.
Cannot remove an Observer <Audio File Envolope Track Leader View>
for the key path "meter Jack Order" from
<NSUser Defaults 0x1090600> because it is not registered as an observer
What do I have to do to apply the edited file back into my FC project?

You are pushing the envelope working in fcp6 in Mavericks. Did you do a clean install of Mavericks and FCP? That's usually the way to get a stable system. Here's a user tip on Installing OS and FCP

As a workaround, can you just save an aiff in soundtrack pro and bring that in to fcp?

HDR CX7 with Final Cut Express gives me error message

A couple of days ago I got Final Cut Express 4. When I tried to log and transfer clips with my Sony Handycam HDR-CX7, all the clips were there on the Log and Transfer screen and I could play them and all, but when I added them to my queue, it loaded for a few seconds and then an error message came up in the status screen with a little red exclamation mark. It said, "Error: No Data" My camera works fine with iMovie, but final cut won't work with it. HELP!

There are a number of different causes for the red exclamation mark. Please to a forum search and see if anything helps you.

Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro Audio Drift

I have Final Cut Pro 7 and Soundtrack Pro 3 (the latest ones) and I can't figure out why when I send my audio to Soundtrack Pro the edits are off. I'm using multitrack multitrack project and exporting from Final Cut, but my in point on my audio clips changes to a little earlier and ends a little earlier. It's like it's drifting. I'm using aif files. Everything seems normal. I thought this version of Final Cut Studio would enable me to easily do this.
Any ideas?
BTW I am running Snow Leopard, but that should be a good thing right?

Method of navigating inconsistent among Final Cut and Soundtrack Pro

I'm quite annoyed that navigation along the timeline is not the same in Soundtrack Pro as it is in Final Cut. Is anyone else bothered by this? Have you ever read a good explanation?
John Link

It certainly would. Adobe pulled down a lot of their software so they could rewrite it from scratch, to make it work uniformly. Maybe Apple's heading the same way in the background. Ever use Color? That too has entirely different origins and a completely different UI and workflow.

Project too new for final cut 6.0.2 error message

My colleague at work has edited a rough cut on her Quad Core Intel computer. I'm using a Power Mac G5, and was able to download the project onto my desktop, but I get this message every time I try to open it: "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut." We're both using FCP 6.0.2, I've done all the software updates I can, but I still receive the message. Does anyone know what I can do?

Did the person use the same workstation you are using? If you have the other person's volume mounted on your desktop, and you are definitely running the same OS, and you have the same version of FCP, then try opening the original file, not a copy. If it opens, do a *"save as"* instead of using a duplicated copy of the project.
Also, if they are using a different workstation, they may have another 3rd party component installed that they used, (maybe a filter or codec), that would interfere with it opening. The best way to make sure FibreJet works seemlessly in a multi-station work environment is to make absolutely sure that every station is a clone of the others. If you do an update on one, you have to do it on all. If you add an application, make sure you add it to all stations.
If you are using a different workstation, try to open it with the other station, then mount your desktop to that station through the LAN, and do a *"save as"* to your desktop, then try opening it from there.
Of course, do all this after trying to zip it before copying it. It only takes a second and would eliminate one aspect of the possible problem.

Sending a Subclips audio from Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro

After reading the manual very carefully, I am still unable to send audio to SoundTrack Pro Effectively.
When I have Several clips in a sequence (or even just one) I can select "Send to Multitrack Project." However, even when selecting a single clip from either the browser, or on the timeline "send to audiofile project" is always greyed out, and at this stage in my audio work that's what I need to do! I'm trying to remove background noise, and do other various post work to individual clips.
I have discovered that if I unlink the audio and video, I can send either the right, or left track of the audio to SoundTrack Pro as an audiofile project. The audio was recorded as mono on two tracks and captured on an XL2 as DV Footage.
Can someone please point me in the right direction as to what I need to do? Thanks.

Jonathan:
You can only send single tracks to "audio file projects."
Try saving the two tracks you want to send as a stereo pair.

Final Cut 7 Exporting - GENERAL ERROR Message

Been working on this for days now and it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to export a 22-minute long sequence. These are my export settings:
FCP 7
File -> Export -> Quicktime Conversion
Format: MPEG-4
Options:
File Format: MP4
Video:
Video Format: H264
Data Rate: 25,000 (approximately - it might be a little more or less to get it to 2GB)
Image Size: 1280X720
Frame Rate: 29.97
Key Frame: Every
Frames: 3
Video Options:
Restrict Profiles to: Main
Encoding Mode: Faster (unless you want to spend a couple of days rendering)
Audio:
Format: AAC-LC
Data Rate: 320
Channels: Stereo
Output Rate: 48.000 kHz
Encoding Quality: Best
I keep getting a General Error message. I've tried everything. Settings are kosher, I've rendered every single clip, full timeline renders perfectly well, I export just small segments and that works, don't know what to do.
Suggestions?

Yeah, it has to be a settings issue. Just won't let me export something that large. I threw in the quicktime file of the last portion into the timeline with the rest. General error once again at 80%. So I know it's not something in the actual sequence.
If it exports as a quicktime, and then it exports in three broken up segments without a hitch, there must be something that's not allowing me to export a file that large.
Any clues?

Final Cut and Soundtrack Pro

Just recently upgraded to Lion and having issues now with FCP and now Soundtrack Pro. I never had any problems until the upgrade, also noticed that my Quicktime Pro is gone, which I used all the time for making flv files for my website for all those in the world who insist on not loading QT on their machines. I am having to use QT 7.6.6 to do that and my flash files are doing strange things.
http://homepage.mac.com/ote_productions/Malcom.html
Yes, it's supposed to flash like that because I degraded the footage, but not that bad. It has never done anything like that before.
Another problem I'm having is I have a Macbook Pro hooked up to an old 20" Apple Cinema Display DVI late 2005, I never had issues with it, but now when I got to full screen on my FCP it is making strange lines in the footage as it play back. Never did this before, when I display on the 15" laptop monitor, no issues.
Soundtrack Pro crashed on me 3 times this morning, never does that.
Anyone else having any problems? I'm afraid to upgrade to the new FCP because of what I"m reading online about it. I think Apple needs to release a fix for this or are they trying to force us to use the new version and not worried about the old version? I am a professional who using these apps daily to do my job and it is causing me time that I am losing money on.
Please fix Apple we depend on these apps to work. Wish I had not upgraded to Lion now!

Why are you being forced to use the new version of anything... including the operating system?
If you are a professional then you always stick with what works and/or use what it takes to get the job done.
STP is not supported under Lion, it's been discontinued, EOL.
I worry about you Mac folks.... the days of auto-upgrading to the latest and "greatest" are over, "It Just Works" only pertains to iMovie, Garageband and apps included with the OS.
Apple is a hardware company, their software is designed to sell hardware, Lion requires more memory and processing power as does FCPX.

Final cut w/ soundtrack pro

When I try to send audio from a clip to Soundtrack pro, my "send to Soundtrack as an audio file' is greyed out. I can only send as a multitrack project. Why? and what should I do?

Do you have more than one audio clip selected? You can only send one audio clip at a time to STP as an audio FILE project. Any more than one is a Multitrack project.

Final Cut Freezing and giving error messages

FCPX is slow and unresponsive and when I drag clips into a project I sometimes get a message that the project cannot be saved, but mostly I get what you see below. Before you ask, it's not full, it is available, nothing has moved or changed. Any thoughts? this comes up constantly.

What file type to export vid from final cut to studio pro

Beginner here, the question I have is what is the best file format to export from final cut to studio pro so that I will play in a decent to good quality on a DVD that I make in studio pro. Thanks.

For my FCS projects, I export DV_NTSC "anamorphic" (I use 16:9 format) to a "reference" movie: that is quite fast after all rendering is completed and the resulting file is pretty small. The only disadvantage to "reference" I've found is that you must keep all those FCS file around since those are what is referenced by the export.
I export like that instead of exporting to compressor because for me, exporting directly to compressor is very slow; on my G5 Quad, my compression step is about 1:1 with real time.
You can take those .mov files into DVDSP and let it do the compression using your defaults. I prefer to use Compressor directly so I can set the compression, Dolby, etc. parameters. Compress to mpeg2 and AC3 (Dolby Digital) and if you are just in stereo, just keep it in stereo, check the "no surround encoding" and make sure the highest audio level in either channel is -3db (or the compressor setting let you reduce the level by 3db). That prevents a downmix to mono (like on a cheap TV) from clipping (-3db + -3db = 0db. (zero plus zero = +3db and is clipping).

Final Cut 7: Apple Pro Res Export Drops In File Size?

Hello all. We are noticing a 30% drop in file size when, after importing a 5-minute Apple Pro Res HQ file into Final Cut and performing minor editing (essentially removing a few frames from the ends), the resulting export (also Pro Res 422 HQ) is noticeably smaller, going from roughly 2.5 GB at the start to 1.7 GB at the end. Has anyone seen this? Is this normal? Does it affect file quality? If so, is there a workaround? Thanks for any and all help!
Sequence and imported clip settings both match and are at the highest quality. The original file was captured from a BetaSP into Final Cut as a Pro Res 422 HQ via a Sony DVW-A500 deck.

Those numbers suggest the possibility that you captured 29.97 and exported 23.98. Any chance that's the case?

Where to buy more cinematic musics for Final cut's SoundTrack???

I love the cinematic musics included in garageband and soundtrack like
there's this piano song called "Newborn"
Others are like
-Broadcast News Long
-Celestial Body Long
-Investigation Long
-Medal Ceremony Long
-Piano Ballad
In Garageband these are in the Jingles section and in SoundTrack they are also somewhere in there
I'm not exactly sure where they c ame from but i bought 2 jampacks for garageband way back, so they may be from there or where already in garageband. Anyways, these are the kind i want. I want lots, of course i'm willing to buy them online. But is there a site that sellls those kinds of cinematic short music compositions?
I have Final Cut and SoundTrack 1.5

hey there jonsondonson,
you can use Acid loops in GB & ST/STP, they have samples from their CD collections for listening to on-line, but i don't know if they're downloadable.
see this link: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/loop_libraries/?keycode=7777-4701
good luck.
