Gestures and FCPX

Hi,
I've read that some have problems with their multi-touch gestures.
On my iMac (with OS X Lion) they work very well in every other program, except for FCPX, 10.0.2.
Especially zoom and tripple finger gestures.
The program is recently installed.
If anyone has a hint, I'd be very happy to hear their oppinion. Maybe it's a knwon FCPX bug, or the preferences file need to be delete (which I read somewhere...).
Thanks.

Probably same thing as Has anyone had a failed trackpad MacBook pro retina? ? I'm a bit glad I'm not the only one ... :-)

  • Best Practices for sharing media with iMovie and FCPX

    So I've a large iMovie Events directory, and would like to use that media with both iMovie and FCPX projects.
    I'd rather not duplicate the media, so would prefer to import as references into FCPX.
    The dilemma is that I see that it's possible to modify or move media from within the iMovie application, and therefore break the reference to that media with FCPX.
    I only see two options:  (1) Never Ever modify the location/name of media in the iMovie Events file (even from within the iMovie app) since I would break an FCPX link if that media is referenced, or (2) always import (copy) the iMovie events into the FCPX Event Library making an independent original so that I can confidently operate on those media files in either application.
    I'd surely rather not have to do (2 )(e.g. doubling my storage demands) to gain the flexibility of using either application to edit the video, but really don't want to live with the restrictions of (1).
    Thoughts / Solutions?  What might you consider as options or best practices?

    Unless there is some other reason, users should own the right to share their mailboxes - it shouldn't be something that demands administrator management (if only so that the administrators aren't swamped by user requests for sharing their mailboxes). 
    For true shared mailboxes, when the mailbox is created, full access is granted by an administrator.

  • I have imovie 10.0.4 and FCPX 10.1.2

    I have imovie 10.0.4 and FCPX 10.1.2 and I cannot get iMovie project sent to FCPX.  I see a very brief progress bar, but then nothing and no transfer to FCPX.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    David

    Any iTunes music in it? Some iMovie content just does not transfer. You really need a basic project to transfer.

  • OS Yosemite and FCPX 10.1.4 compatible?

    Hi,
    I'm currently using OS 10.9.5 and FCPX is working just fine. Is it safe to update? I also use Motion 5.1.2 and Pro Tools 11.3.1 are these fine too?
    Dave:)

    here, both, FCPX + M5 =: flawless
    Was prepared for a 'clean-install', didn't need, just hit 'update', wait half an hour - done.
    Perhaps just guts, but feels faster, snappier, better
    No ProTools at hand ...........

  • I have a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and FCP7 installed I would like to run FCP7 and FCPX on the same computer, is this OK

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) with Mac OS X version 10.6.8, I use this for video editing with FCP7. I would also like to install FCPX, my operating system is Snow Leopard. Is this OK or do I need to up-grade my operating system. I want to be able to use FCP7 and FCPX on the same Computer. Your advise will be appreciated.

    You will see from the hardware spec that the latest version of FCP X requires Mavericks.
    The Mavericks spec shows you can upgrade to Mavericks on your Mac Pro.
    Ensure you have a bucket full of RAM installed.

  • Nikon D7100 and FCPX

    Hi,
    I am trying to understand if FCPX is able to work with the RAW H264 file coming from a Nikon D7100.
    I'm using FCPX since it came out, I know it is able to work with H264 file like the one coming from a Canon D5,
    but I read that the H264 file from a Nikon D7100 is for some reason "different" from a "normal" H264 and FCPX does not support it.
    I know I can compress it to a ProRes, (outside FCPX with compressor), but I want to know if I can use the amazing ability of FCPX to work with RAW files and compress it later.
    Thank you.

    You would probably find more direct help by talking to other Nikon shooters who use FCPX. M
    I don't know anything about the Nikon codec or why it might be giving you trouble while others do not but have you tried simply transcoding the footage to ProRes422? Your files will expand by a factor or three or four but you will not have these difficulties.

  • Xsan and FCPx

    We are looking to upgrade our Current xSan and FCP 7 Suites to FCPX. I have a question as far as work flow. Currently we are Runnung 3 MacPros FCP Suites with 32 bit Intel Chips and OS 10.6.8. We are looking to go to new MacPros loaded and FCPX. We have questions as to how it will work with our current San Volume which is 4 xserve raids and one Promis raid, stripped as two volumes . We also use an Apple xServe for file sharing.  All being Shared over Fiber. The bigest question is over sharing a volume and Shareing FCPX Project Files, can it be done. Can two FCPX Station Share the same san volume at the same time, share footage and assets. We do not want to work on the same project ate the same time but do want to be able to hand of the project to another edit station to have finishing touches put on it. Currently we can do that by just opening the project from our shared Apple File Server. Can we do the same with FCPX? If we save the Event folder on a Shared File Server can another Edit station open it once I close it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    James

    I think if you read over the Apple white paper you will get a clearer indication of what they intend for FCP X and XSAN project and event sharing currently.
    Final Cut Pro X: Xsan Best Practices white paper
    Final Cut Pro X: Xsan Best Practices
    That being said, it depends on how you want to work. The current approved method of using SAN locations within FCP X allow an editor to gurantee they are the only one working on the project / events. All others need to request access to the SAN location before they can use it. And by request, I mean, they must ask the other editor to disconnect from the SAN location before they can mount it. This works well for editors working on a project by themselves before possibly handing it off to another edtor.
    Of course, there also ways to share the footage and / or events which allows both editors to share the media and working on separate projects.
    And beyond a certain level this manual, shared storage but not shared project workflow can get very messy. If FCP X does not detach from the SAN location then who knows who had it last, and who then can open it. Not ideal. When there are a lot of editors we need a clearer hand-off then search the SAN for hidden dotfiles (.fcplock, and .fcpuser).
    I'm sure Apple is revising this strategy internally, or at least I hope so. Something like Final Cut Server made the check in . check out very rigid but very orderly. These days Cantemo Portal is filling the gap where Final Cut Server used to be a good fit. At a certain size and workflow using a DAM / MAM makes sense to organize assets and projects.

  • Hi I use Osx 10.9.4 and FCPX 10.1.2  How can I choose a CD format which will be playable outside the World of Apple? i.e. in a 10 year old CD player in my old car

    I am trying to make a CD for a Children's Hospital where I used imported tunes from iTunes into FCPX, then sharing and burning in .AIFF or .WAV extensions for the CD.  When I do this I can play the CD on any Apple machine but not in a non Apple Device such as in a CD player in the Hospital, or my car.  I would like to be able to play the CD outside the Apple domain. Any Ideas?  Your suggestions would be most helpful.  Thank you
    DBC
    PS
    I use an iMac OXS 10.9.4 and FCPX 10.1.2

    YYou should do this in iTunes not in FCP.

  • AVCHD .mts files imported but optimised files play fast in QT and FCPX 10.1.1

    Hi Guys
    Panasonic HC-V700 AVCHD .MTS files (from within the 'Stream' folder) imported and optimised into FCPX 10.1.1 but the imported/optimised clips (found in the Transcoded Media>High Quality Media folder) play too fast in QT and FCPX 10.1.1 . Was able to do this fine until yesterday.
    Using OSX 10.9.1 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with just 4GB RAM (hoping to get faster, souped-up new iMac very soon).
    When playing the 1080/50p clips on the camera's video player they play at normal speed. Weirdly, today, FCPX has 'acknowledged' the camera on the import window despite the 1080/50p footage (previously it didn't show the camera as a valid import 'archive' on the import screen). Now, on the import window whenever I play a clip it also plays too quick.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Warm regards
    Peter

    When attempting to play the .MTS files in import I'm getting the 'dropped frames' error message:
    "Issues that may affect playback include available memory, disk speed, graphics performance, and processor performance.
    You may be able to get better performance by doing the following:
    - Use proxy playback by changing the Media setting to 'Proxy' in the Viewer Options pop-up menu. (Requires proxy media.)
    - Optimize your source clip media."
    Could the lack of RAM in this iMac actually cause the video to speed up in FCPX? (weird)

    We regularly use Cocktail by Maintain software. You run the whole gamut of options but the important one is in System - Databases - Rebuild launch services. Also in Files - Caches - then clear the lot.
    This is just houskeeping really but there are so many 'links' in A/cad it needs 'cleaning'

  • New user of Yoga pro 3 : trackpad gestures and win 10

    Dear all,  I just got my Yoga pro 3 and coming from a Mac, I am a bit lost (I use Win 7 at work). One thing that I miss the most is the track pad, although the Yoga's seems to be quite good. However, I thought there would be 2-3 finger gestures, and apart from 2-fingers scroll, which is fine, I haven't found anything. Do I need to install something? The thing I really need is a 2-finger Right click, as in a Mac (I am so used to it!)...the rest I can live without.
    FInally, I was thinking about upgrading to Win 10: do you recommend it? Is it worth it? Also, how to do it? I thought I would get a "Get Windows 10" icon (my wife does in her 4 years old laptop) but I do not.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks !  Indeed it works but I must press really hard! I was more thinking of something like the 1-finger press but I guess I wil make do with it...

  • 12-Core Mac Pro w/ 32GB of RAM and FCPX is S..L...O...W....

    This is annoying.  I'm trying to cut a feature film on this.  On a two week old Mac Pro.  12-Core Mac w/ 32GB of RAM.  It's becoming a liability and I'm starting to think I made the wrong choice going with Apple and Final Cut Pro X BOTH.  The amount of time this software is adding to MY life timeline is ridiculous.  I'm only running FCPX.  No other programs.  And anyhow, I should have enough RAM to run more than that w/o these problems.
    A feature film means I have 400GBs of clips in the Event.  This is a real life situation and a editing program needs to be able to handle that.  All the media ia on a different internal 7200RPM drive that isn't running the OS.
    Renaming a clip in the Event Library is slow.  Adding scene and other information to a clip is slow.  Processing after importing a clip from tape is slow. 
    I just imported 10 clips ranging from 30 secs to 3 minutes in length.  They are SD from a DVX100 tape.  Not even talking HD here.  It's supposed to be analyzing in the background but the rainbow ball spinning constantly and allowing me only enough time to click something once before it spins again isn't "processing in the back grond" in my opinion.
    I bought the best so that I wouldn't have to deal with garbage like this.
    I haven't even started editing yet.  I understand this is first gen of a new revamp so it's going to be buggy and crash on occassion.  I know what I signed up for.  but these are basic tasks.  I can't even imagine how performance would be with hi res stuff.
    So my question is: What the heck is the deal here?  Does Apple check up on these discussions?  When will I get a professional level program that actually utilizes the tools I have running under the hood?

    Just to update everyone reading this thread.  I have begun to cut a teaser trailer for the film (ThereAreNoGoodbyes.com if you're interested!) to premiere at a film festival next week and the editing process has gone smoothly.  Editing itself appears to be fine thus far.  Although im dealing with a very short project runtime at this point (90 seconds).
    At this point it appears the major issues are with importing, transcoding, and analyzing.  all headaches and much more time consuming than i have had experience with in the past (on other NLEs).  my assumption is maybe it's the "analyzing" thats the main problem here.  for my personal curiousity i wanted to see what FCPX came back with in the a/v diagnosis, but if i turned all of those things off on import (just guessing here) perhaps the process would have been much faster.
    whatever the case may be it should NOT be advertised as something that can be done in the background until that's an actual fact.
    after this trailer is finished (this week) i will start working on the assembly cut of the film which will clock at anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours and then ill get a better idea if FCPX can handle what id consider to be a normal-sized project.  I'll post back here with my impressions...
    side note: i had to do some basic effects in Motion on some footage and that was smooth and painless working within Motion and coming back to FCPX with the footage.

  • ALL the Icons disappear for seconds after using five-finger-gesture and swipe to another page in the home screen

    Hello,
    iPad Air, 8.1.2
    This issue has been making me annoyed for a long time...
    You can find the bug by following steps:
    1). Go to Settings APP.
    2). Use five-finger-gesture to close this APP, and quickly swipe to another page of home screen before the icons in the current page haven't dropped down.( I mean...The animation that likes icons dropping down)
    3). You can see ALL the icons will disappear for seconds.
    I've restored the firmware again and again, but it doesn't helped at all...
    And if I turn on the "reduce motion" option, the icons won't disappear.
    And...Some little bugs:
    1) In APP switcher, when swiping up to close APPs, the icon's animation is lost. (I mean...The icons shouldn't disappear without any animations. In iOS7, the icons should have a "closing animation"
    2)In lock screen, press the power button with a very high speed, and you will see the "time" in the lock screen is being appeared and disappeared, appeared and disappeared, appeared and disappeared...
    I hope you can understand me, I'm sorry for my bad English, I'm a middle school student in China, and I have to report these bugs.

    I am not seeing that problem, however, this is a user forum. You aren't talking to Apple here.

  • Do you live dangerously and install FCP7 and FCPX on the same volume?

    Hi, I went ahead like a crazy person and just installed FCPX on my system where I also have FCP7.
    Now I see al these warnings saying that you should have a separate boot disk for FCPX and FCP7.
    I have had no problems with FCP7 thus far.
    Do you have both installed on the same drive? Does it work?
    Please write a reply if you have so i can sleep easier
    Thanks!

    Yes, I have them installed on the same drive. They both work, though not simultaneously. Larry Jordan has had them on one drive for a couple of months.
