Final cut will not work on my Imac

I've gone from a 5 year old mac book to a brand new Imac. My final cut express worked on my old mac book but is not working on my Imac. It is saying I need an AGP graphics card, what is this and can I add one to my Imac? Live type and soundtrack are working just not the actual final cut. Please no confusing computer terms as I don't understand half the stuff that is said in this forum! Thanks, Sammy.

I have the same problem. I can't load and save any movie - shortclip. I have tried several ways without succes.
I just bought FCE 4.0 and it's new to me. Nothing works for me. I'm still working in Quicktime.
My camera is Panasonic Lumix TZ7 - AVCHD. I can see my clips in preview but when I put into Sequence a "red hand" shows me "NO DATA". What am I doing wrong? I have also tried different setups i Preference.
(I have the book and DVD from Apple Pro Training Series - FCE 4, but when I follow the instructions it doesn't match what happens on my computer.

  • Final Cut will not open up? Help

    Hi all,
    I have many projects on in final cut pro. I went to open it up this morning and final cut will not open. I see it trying to load and then it does not open. Can anyone please give me any ideas on what the problem might be.
    Thanks,
    Wildmangoose

    Well, you first need to determine whether it's Final Cut that won't open, or just one project. To determine that, you can either trash the preferences or create a new user Account and log into it, then try opening Final Cut from the new Account.
    If it opens, then you know FCP is OK. If you've done that with a new Account, then log in to your original Account, and take the media volume offline. I'm assuming you have all your media on a separate volume from your boot volume.
    With the media volume offline, try to open that project in Final Cut. If it opens, then you have a corrupted media file, either a captured file or a rendered file.
    You then then to find the corrupted file by the process of elimination. More on that later. For now, try the first step and report back.

  • Final cut will not shut down stays in the dock and I have to reboot

    Final Cut will not shut down ..... stays in the dock and I have to physically reboot

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by stuck in Dock.
    You reboot your Mac. Is FCP trying to open automatically (the icon bouncing)? Or is it just visible in the Dock?

  • Rendering - Final Cut will not render clips under any of the 3 choices?

    Final Cut will not render clips mov, or dv under any of the 3 choices, including stuff I have done before.

    I realize your problem is solved, but I thought I would post this is case it might helps others in the future.
    Under Sequence-->Render--> OR Sequence-->Render All--> OR Sequence-->Render Only--> make sure you have check marks next to all the different video types ("Needs Render", "Proxy", etc).
    If there is no check mark, then the video won't render - and this can sometimes seem random, like what happened in your case.

  • Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

    I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
    I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
    I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
    Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
    There are no markers.
    Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
    The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
    The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
    The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
    If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
    If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
    Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
    However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
    FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
    I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
    I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
    Thank millions for a solution.

    It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.  I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite.  I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating. 

  • Final cut will not open within certain accounts

    Hi
    First post and mac experience limited but I have Final Cut Express HD which worked fine on a suite of standalone imacs. I have just rebuilt them onto a mac network with a local install of FCE. When I logon as admin, FCE will open no problem but when I logon with a standard user network account it will display the splash screen then disappear. However, not all standard accounts have this problem as some users on this mac have no such problem accessing FCE, this seems to rule out a permissions problem. Any help gratefully accepted.

    When you say you rebuilt them onto a Mac network, what exactly do you mean? Do you have a Mac running OSX Server (like an xServe) with client users having accounts assigned by Workgroup Manager? ie, they are not logging on to the local machine, they are logging on to their network account? If so, check their permissions in Workgroup Manager, are they allowed to run FCE?
    Also, what version of FCE do you have installed.
    And is there a separately licensed installation on each client Mac? FCE will not run 'networked' from a server and you cannot have multiple users on the same FCE serial number on a network.

  • Final cut will not ingest files from drhd100

    Has anyone had a chance to ingest media using the Focus Enhancements drhd100. If so I could really use their help on getting my system to ingest it. I'm not convinced that Apple has the setup properly I know that you can ingest with p2's and sony hddrive but I don't think they've tested focus jvc's

    So here is an update per my conversations with both Apple and Focus- the manufacture of the JVC proHD DRHD100 Portable HDD.
    "IT'S JUST NOT AVAILABLE!"
    At this point neither apple nor Focus have the ability to communicate efficiently between one another.
    By efficient I mean, whether it be apple or focus who takes the lead, I don't care, but someone needs to this is a huge problem. I suspect that the burden should lie with Apple seeing how the media ends in final cut, but that is just my opinion.
    Enough ranting and raving, back to the point.
    Apple doesn't have the necessary metaData file structure setup to import or ingest the HDV codec created to read the span clips generated from this medium as a single capture. (Firestore or proHD DRHD100, etc.) The newly released update to the ProHD driver will allow 60p but then it has no way to collace the spanned clip back together. That Functionality in FCP is there only for the Panasonic P2 cards, for now. Same issue in my opinion as Sony not, being able to import/ingest from the Sony HDD Cams and its .m2t files.
    Regarding transport stream in .M2T I've spent alot of time on this and it's a dead end. There is no codec currently that will transfer .m2t with proper timecode to .mov. I'm hoping a programmer out there will take up the challenge.
    About the only way to work with the .m2t would be to use a software like GrassValley's Canopus editing or Sony Vegas. But that's a waist of my time and Money. To use those software only as converters. Urgghhhhssh@#$$
    So I'll end by saying good luck and if I'm lucky and persistent maybe I can guilt trip Apple into building the first universal log and transfer window for an NLE. That's what needs to happen, a window similar to what Log and Capture provides for the tape medium, FCP or someone needs to build that for the HDD MEDIUM and optical Medium. Who knows maybe they already have that for the sony optical, but those cameras are out of my price range anyway, so I couldn't care less if those can be read into an NLE system.
    Thanks

  • Final cut will not capture

    i have tiger on my Powerbook g4, just put it on and my capturing will not show signes of capturing footage from my camera.... the sound waves dont even show up on the side. what could be wrong with the final cut after loading Tiger?

    If you tried in iMovie you should also have remote in FCP, correct?
    Can you see image in "log and capture" (in FCP)?
    You´re working with inernal or extrenal disk?
    Have you created a correct folder in system settings (FCP) so you can capture all the clips?
    I give you a tip:
    Wright all steps so we can help you!
    FCP is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get), it´s a simple and powerfull NLE!

  • Final cut pro not working with Yosemite

    I yesterday installed Yosemite and the previous version of Final Cut Pro does not work with it.  When I try to install the latest version of Final Cut Pro from the purchased tab in the app store, I get the message:  "Final Cut can't be installed on this computer because it requires at least 4 GB of memory".  When I go to the storage tab in "About This Mac", it shows that I have 154.49 GB free of 319.21 GB.  Can someone help?  Many thanks.

  • Final Cut X not working properly

    Hi!
    In my office i am editing with a new IMAC OS X Lion. we bought final cut X three months ago and suddely, since one week, has been imposible to work on it because every time i move something in the timeline or import a pic or a video, whatever i do it takes ages until i can do another step further.
    I have uploaded to the new version and checked other forums but i couldn't find a clear answer
    If anyone has any idea how to solve this I would really appreciate it!!
    thanks!!!

    Here's my pet answer for this (very common)  question - don't lose heart! It's an awesome application - you just need to see why it's not working well on your system.
    First, check the spec of your iMac against the system requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
    Particularly your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
    Other ways to improve performance:
    Create optimised media.
    Hide Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power.
    Create folders in the Project library and put any projects you are not working on currently, in there. (Twirl it closed to hide them).
    Move your Projects and Events to an external HD (make sure it's formatted OS Extended - with journaled on or off) and run from there.
    Do you have FCS or FC 7 installed on the same partition as FCP X - not advised by Apple.
    What video codec are you working with?
    Lastly, RAM - Although Apple claim much less is sufficient, I would recommend you run a minimum of 8GB (preferably 16GB) RAM in your Mac.

  • Sharing on Final Cut is not working on my computer

    So, my school newspaper just got a new copy of Final Cut Pro X and it's not uploading a project onto a DVD or onto Youtube. In fact, now it's not excepting the username and password for our Youtube account. Anyway of fixing that?
    -Haileybird15

    This problem was intermittent for me a week or so ago. I have tried numerous times today and cannot upload any work to YouTube from fcpx due to the following error: Invalid username or password.
    Having looked elsewhere, it would appear that Google are working on something that is having a temporal effect - though that could be mere conjecture. I would imagine that given a few days, either the problem will be fixed or the forums will be overloaded with complaints.
    Can Apple test this?

  • Final cut will not load up now?

    I beleive i just downloaded macs auto updates. my final cut hd pro 4.5 will not open? error says it unexpectly quit? Is this because of latest updates? Please help

    Do normal maintenance work...
    Repair permissions
    Trash your preference files...
    Also if those don't work, try update/repair your pre-bindings. Google or search apple's kbase docs for how.
    Good luck,

  • Dvd created in final cut pro not working

    I have created multiple Dvd's in Final Cut Pro X and never seem to have a problem. Yet with my most recent project I've run into a problem. The created Dvd's will not play on any of our dvd players, blue ray or regular player. The error message I am getting on some of them is "region not supported". But they will play on any Pc or Mac I insert them in. I burned the Dvd using the dvd function in Final Cut.
    Any advise?

    For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
    In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.

  • Final cut will not launch after fcs2 install (successful)

    I have just installed FCS2 and unpon launching the software. It gives an option to relaunch but that doesn't work. I've tried searching in the threads and haven't gotten anywhere.
    I just updated to Leopard doing about a month ago doing a clean install, not an erase and install.
    This is error message I am getting

    Any help?
    Thanks

    Ok, here's what happened I needed the Pro Applications Update 2007-2, when I did a software update search it never gave that as an option. I had to discover it by looking through the error details and going in to the FCS2 section of Apples site and download it from there. I didn't even know that it would be the right update but it appears to be, Final Cut just loaded for the first time.
    Thanks for your help.
