Final Cut wont recognize when i push esc when capturing now.
Final Cut wont recognize when i push esc when capturing now on an uncontrolled device.
help.
I have captured from a VHS player thru a camcorder to FCP, but never experienced a Capture Now not stopping after pressing the ESC key. I did a quick search and found a question similar to yours. The following suggestions are mostly from a response posted by Tony Gay:
1. Trash the FCP preferences. Try Preference Manager for doing that if you don't already have it.
2. Run Disk Utility and select Repair Disk Permissions
3. Check your System Prefs, make sure that your Energy Saver settings are so that the system stays awake and disks do not power down.
4. The FCP preferences will need to be reset. If using Capture Now, check that it is not limited, reset your drives and etc.
5. Check that the codec of the camera/tape match the setting that you are capturing with.
6. Try capturing a short piece using Log and Capture...
7. Try Capture Now.
The person with the problem posted back reporting that after doing the above, ESC was again working with Capture Now.
Good luck.

Final Cut wont recognize my Canon xha1s
My employer has bought a new Canon XHA1s for me to use filming, editing, etc. I am trying to capture the footage I just recorded and the camera is not being recognized by Final Cut Express, but only FCE. From reading through other forums, I have: checked About This Mac>More Info>Hardware>Firewire and seen the camera IS being recognized by the computer (also verified on the camera). I have also recently gone through the Software Update, so FCE is up-to-date and other system things. The same camera also is recognized by iMovie, so I am able to capture through that, but that is not the path I want to take, or the program for that matter. I know I can import the footage from iMovie to FCE, but I'm trying to fix the real problem here. In the Import and Log and Capture Menus, the camera just doesn't show up as a source, even in the Finder. Any thoughts/ideas? I really appreciate it. Thanks.

Final Cut shuts down when I try to stop logging and capturing
Ok, so I know whoever answers will need more technical specifics but for now this is the deal. I have been trying to import footage from a DV camera into final cut and once I try and stop the camera or when I press 'esc' final cut unexpectedly shuts down. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks!
Computer is a Macbook Pro, Version 10.4.11. Drive is a G-Tech - G-Drive 500 GB and I use a Firewire 400 when I connect it to my computer though I import straight into the computer from the camera with a firewire. Camera is a Panasonic AG-DVX100. I have Quicktime 7.6.4. My Final Cut Pro is 6.0.5. My capture preset is DV NTSC 48kHz. Device control preset is Firewire NTSC. Vid rate is 24fps, compressor info is DV/DVCPRO - NTSC and Data Rate is 2.9 MB/sec Not sure if I've given you enough information. I also have a report from when it crashed if it helps any. Thank you.

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?
at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi. -
Final cut bug, interlacing when adding transitions
Hello
So I have been experiencing a problem in final cut pro 6 when generating a timeline using motion jpeg A and using transitions that all clips end up looking interlaced. The fields in the sequence settings are set to non and all the settings are at high quality. All preferences and settings have been checked a hundred times over. Even soemtimes in the past generating a new sequence and copying your timeline to the new sequence would sometimes resolves some problems.
After weeks of banging my head against the wall I managed to find out that importing quicktimes into final cut would default the field on every quicktime to upper odd, causing this problem. Changing this option to none seemed to fix the problem. In saying this, this is not ideal as if you were working with say 40 quicktimes or more you would have to manually change each field to every quicktime before you start your timeline. Not good.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so have you found a better way around it?
ThanksSame Issue: Added a transition and then beach ball from **** and crash. Also lost two hours of work when it restarted and reverted to the last planned quit.
FCPX is benched until Lion and updates. Don't have time to be a beta tester on what might end up being a hobbyists toy.

It is just as the message says. Your video card is not compatible.
You can add a compatible graphics card and use FCP X with your mac. I can't suggest which one, but maybe other people on this forum can guide.
And you may also get good suggestions in the Mac Pro forum. -
Final Cut Express Quits when exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2
I'm new Mac user and I'm trying to compress a movie from Final Cut Express HD when exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2 format when I do that Final Cut application quits.
and if helps you to answer I have the same problem trying to do the same from iMovie HD and from Adobe Premier 6.5"exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2 format"
I'm not sure how you can get to that point: I cannot even find MPEG2 in my list of compression types while exporting with QuickTime Conversion... (I have 31 of them, and QT 7 Pro installed).
In any case, if you want to make a DVD and have iDVD installed, you have simply to Export/QuickTime Movie (without conversion): iDVD will take care of compressing your movie for you before burning the DVD.

Final Cut pro crashes when any effect is click in the effect window HELP!!!
Final Cut pro crashes when any effect is click in the effect window HELP!!!
I have video placed in a sequence and when I go to the effect browser to click on a effect to drop on it the program thinks for a few seconds and then quits. I tried dumping the pref files in the pref folder and it did not work. is there a different method I should try?#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????
My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
Please, please can someone tell me why? -
Final Cut Express installed when I bought my machine will not open, can not find any upgrades
Final Cut Express installed when I bought my machine will not open, can not find any upgrades. I am working on Mac Os10.6.8.
It always worked before.There are no upgrades to FCE any longer. Apple has discontinued the product. If you need to reinstall the version you have from the original install discs, use this app to uninstall it first: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/

when i open final cut pro x when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?
Possible corrupted project or media fies. Here's what I'd suggest.
First trash preferences. If that doesn't work…
Move your Final Cut Projects folder into a folder named Hidden Folder. See if FCP then launches. If it doesn't hide your Final Cut Events folder. Once FCP launches successfuly, create a test event and project.
To track down the problem, successively move load events and projects from hideen to their proper location and open FCP. When and if you get the crash you have hopefully located the problem.
The easiest way to do this is to purchace Event Manager X ($5).
Good luck.

Did you by any chance move the Events and/or Projects folders? Are they on an exteranl hard drive and it is now not plugged in?
