Final cut X - bad export black screen

Hello.
Export a black background with FinalCut X or Motion5 is unacceptable. Instead, I have a black color is still green and jaggedscreen. Black screen I am doing by shifting or adding clip black rectangle.

It's not clear to me from your post whether you've already checked Prevent App Nap.
If Media Encoder is also taking a long time, I also wonder about the media in your project. What formats are you using in the event for both video and audio? Anything unusual in the way of imported graphics?
Also, have you installed any third party software, including plug-ins, since the time when FCP was running OK?

Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

Final Cut having problems exporting after updating to Maverick

Since the update, Final Cut will only export videos in a reasonable amount of time when Final Cut is open to the front. Otherwise a 45 minute video takes 8+ hours to export. Not sure what has happened or how in the world to fix this.

Anyone Please Help i need to send these Documents and can't. Thanks

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

Can I use Final Cut During Compressor Export?

Hi,
This is my first time using compressor and I'v read that you can use Final Cut while Compressor exports. When I start to export from Compressor, I get a message on Final Cut that says Frame X (what ever frame the export is on) and I can't use Final Cut when Compressor is exporting. I have rendered everything in Final Cut's timeline. Can I use Final Cut while compressor exports?
Thanks,
Zevie

Zevie,
You would not lose any quality. You will speed things up considerably.
To set up compressor to use all your free cpu, you need to enable sharing with qmaster. On your system preferences, there should be a qmaster item.
There are lots of posts about how to set it up. Do a search on it. I think even apple has instructions on how to do it. You can read the compressor manual as well.
It is called distributed processing, and you will want to set up a quick cluster.
Here is an article about it. The only thing that I know is different is on Snow Leopard, you may have to select "Managed" in the services box for compressor. This will allow you to select the number of instances.

Final Cut Pro - Canvas is Black

The Canvas on my Final Cut Pro has turned black and I am unable to preview the video on it. It does however show the wireframe

Check the view menu - is it set to the "wireframe" option or the "image + wireframe" and also under "channels" (in the same menu) wether it is set to "RGB" or "alpha".
You want it to be "image+wireframe" and "RGB" respectively

Final cut pro X export files bigger than originals

I got two WMV files, each file size about 500mbs, I converted them to mp4 using permute. Afther converting, each file size about 490mbs.
Then I open the mp4 files with final cut pro, I just want to mend the two clips together, it's that simple. I finish puting the clips adjacent to each other. Then hit export and chose encoding method .h264.
When final cut finished exporting, the movie is over 4GB in size.
Why is it so big ? the orginal files combined size is just about 1 GB.

File numer 1
format :H.264, 1,280 x 720 AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
FPS: 29.97
data size: 1.23 GB

Ripping dvd footage to Final Cut and re-exporting to DVD

Greetings,
I'm taking footage off of various dvd materials with the intention of bringing them into final cut and re-exporting an edited product onto dvd. My method has been, thus far: to rip whichever chapters I'm looking for using Mac the Ripper, bring the chapters (VOBs) into MPEG Streamclip for 100% quality conversion to the 'Apple DV - PAL' setting, and then bringing those files into final cut for editing. However, it seems no matter what my export setting is, I'm getting quality loss on the finished product - a bit of pixelation (most evident on high-def televisions), etc. Converting the .VOBs to an Uncompressed setting wouldn't work as I'm working with hours of accumulated footage and the space it would consume wouldn't be a possibility. What I don't understand is why, when I burn a cloned dvd using Mac the Ripper there's hardly any quality loss at all, but here I'm getting quite a bit. Is this due to a re-compression happening somewhere? And is there any way of getting rid of it? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

There is about four or five generational losses in your workflow.
There isn't a way around that.
Use the original footage to preserve quality in the process.
Plus, why is MacTheRipper necessary with non commercial DVDs?

Final Cut Pro X exports video clip as black

Hi Everyone,
I have a big problem, I'm trying to export a project with many HD clips, the first of which is the only one being shot as AVCHD on a Sony DSLR and converted to .mov by Voltaic HD because otherwise I can't import it in Final Cut Pro X. The rest of the clips are directly imported from another camera, no conversion.
The first clip (the one I had to convert) plays and gets edited fine within FCPX, but after I export the whole project, all the part that had that clip is just black picture with no sound. My titles, photos in the meantime are still there, but otherwise all black until the next clips show up.
The sources clips are hd1080p but I'm trying to export the project as 720p. My FCPX version is 10.0.9. I've edited videos from the same source and conversion before and never had this problem.
So now I just took the same single clip into a new project and exported it at 720p and there it just works fine ... Arrrghh!! How can I fix this?

I am having an almost identical problem:
Trying to export (doesn’t matter to what: Master File, Apple Device, etc. all lead to the same result) the project I am working on is producing a black screen with no audio (for the length of the project) – only the start and end titles get rendered.
The project plays fine in FCP X 10.0.9; the initial screen on the export dialog produces a correct looking screenshot (with both the picture and title visible), and predicts realistic sizes for the export file, which ends up being tiny by comparison.
Other projects with a similar workflow are exporting fine: basically I have shot a couple of concerts, and each project is one song with start and end credits and some color correction, stabilization, etc.
The source was 1080P video from a Canon SLR 5D Mark III, and it is being exported to 1080P -- however, I don't think that's relevant, because video from the same source to the same export files worked fine before - FCP X can obviously handle the format involved.
I tried deleting the FCP X preferences -- didn’t help. I had already tried deleting the render files.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Export to quicktime from final cut producing bad quality audio

Hello
In exporting out quicktimes form the timeline in final cut I'm experiencing bad quality audio. Its almost like a fussing or noise in the background. I have tried to export the same quicktimes from a new sequence and only after a couple of attempts managed to get a quicktime with clear audio. I found the only way around this is to export out the audio as a separate aiff file which produces a clear audio file. This is not ideal as it creates more work when in a rush.
Anyone have any ideas how to rectify this?
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
thanks in adavence

The sound is perfect in fcp.
I originally export from fcp using export quicktime movie, thats what causes the problem, which is why I had to resort to exporting the audio file as a separate file to the quicktime as an aiff which solves the problem. But it seem sa shame to have to export the picture and audio separately then use quicktime to marry the 2 together , then to re-export just so you cant have the files as one movie.
I just dont get what its doing.
Thanks for taking a look. I apprechiate it.

Final Cut Express HD Export Problems

I have a project that I recently edited in final cut express hd and i'm having trouble exporting it to any kind of format without creating artifacting and stepping all over the image. The movie is only around eleven minutes long. I need to get this project to dvd for my actors. I have tried exporting using compressor, quicktime conversion, and just doing a quicktime movie, but i can't get a good quality .mov file or .avi file. I want to make the movie in either one of these formats to i can burn it to dvd and save it to an external and then delete the project file so i can clear room for other projects. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the artifacting and stepping in my image? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Born Mad Films

I made a quicktime movie and not a quicktime conversion and used that file in idvd to burn a dvd. That is the best result i've gotten so far but it is still less than satisfactory. I get significant artifacting in black and white areas as well as dark scenes. I have been watching my exported products directly on the display, i didn't think to watch it on my ntsc playback monitor. But whenever I burn a copy to dvd and watch it on a standard tv, the artifacting is still there, some formats have less, some have more. I am printing to video through my little consumer grade canon video camera. I would like to be able to create a .mov fil so that i don't have to worry when i delete the project file. Any more suggestions? I appreciate all the help.

Why won't Final Cut Pro X export in 1080P

I'm trying to export video in 1080P in Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4. Every time I click the share button it says I'm exporting in 720P. I tried to change it to 1080P and its greyed out. I even tried click share to Apple device in 1080P still 720. I verified all the clips are 1080P. I've never had this problem before its always just done it. Heres a screenshot of the share screen.

D-OH! Headslapper!
I have those. Every day. Thanks for posting your solution instead of just letting it go. Hardly anyone closes their threads around here and it really helps those who come after, those looking for similar issues.

Final Cut Pro goes totally black

HI, I have just bought a new iMac (2.5GHz Intel Core i5 with 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ram) and installed Final Cut studio 2 on it. Everything works good except for Final Cut. When I launch it the whole monitor goes black. If I press the command key + Q, I will have the desktop again. Can this problem be fixed?

Just a wild try here but, is it possible that FCP is opening in full screen mode? In that case you would only see black unless you had a clip loaded from a previous session. Try hitting the escape button, which should get you out of full screen mode.
