Hard Disk Error with Final Cut Pro

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help out. I recently upgraded to the latest version of FC Studio. I'm going into FC Pro to start a new project, and I'm using a scratch disk I have always used in the past, and I'm suddenly now getting the following error that pops up when I set FC Pro to this scratch disk:
The selected disk is formatted using FAT32 which has a 4GB file size limit. Using it as a scratch disk will lead to unpredictable behavior when using or creating larger files.
Can someone explain? Is there something I need to do?
Thanks!

Wow, I never knew that FCP checked the format of the scratch disks!
What a great idea.
As Nick pointed out, you need to reformat (Erase in Disk Utility speak) the drive and set the format to MacOS Extended if you don't want issues.
Be warned that Erasing (aka reformatting) the drive will delete all material on the disk. Anything you want to save needs to be moved to another drive first.
Good luck,
x

  • ERROR WITH FINAL CUT PRO

    SIR, SOME TIMES ONLY I AM AFFECTING ONE PROBLEM, IF I AM CHANGING ONE CLIP SPEED THEN SHOWING ONE "GENERAL ERROR IN -CANVAS- WITH RED WINDOW---AND ALSO ONE MASSGE TOO--ITS--"display unwavailable close and reopen window to reopen" KINDLY ANSWER ME SIR , ONLY SOME TIME HAPPENING THIS, I AM WOKING IN INDIAN IN ALOCAL CHANNEL AS A VISUAL EDITOR NAME IS V.S.SANAL[VYSHNAV]
    THANKING YOU
    BEST WISHES SIR

    so was the material captured with "device control" with logging or did you use "capture now." If you used "capture now" you might try exporting the clip (or just the section you need as a selfcontained quicktime with the same settings and then bringing that file into fcp and applying the speed change to that clip.

  • Creating 1080p Blu-Ray with Final Cut Pro 10.0.7?

    The latest version of Final Cut Pro (Vers 10.0.7) seems to share to Blu-Ray disk only at 720p resolution (1280X720) - not 1080P (1920X1200).  I know you can always use Compressor to create a 1080p Blu-Ray, but is there any way to create a 1080p Blu-Ray disk directly with Final Cut Pro?  It seems to me I was able to do this with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro X.

    If you do a 1080 project @24fps or 29.97fps, FCPX will output 1080 frame size using the Blu-Ray settings. If you use Share >BD for either 720 or 1080 @ 60fps, it will choose the 720 resolution.
    I have no idea whether this was always the case.

  • Error messages during editing with Final Cut Pro

    Hello,
    I am working with Final Cut Pro for the first time, editing my first indie movie project. The software normally works fine and when I started this project it ran fine for a while. But the software is now operating increasingly slow, to the point where it won't let me advance frame by frame. And I am getting several error icons popping up in the viewer window and the clip window to the right and I don't know what they mean. One of the icons is a little yellow triangle with a black exclamation point in the middle. Another is a little whi circle with a black letter x in the center. Another is a small green circle with a check in it. Does anyone know what any of this means? Could I be out of ram on the hardrive? I noticed that the changes occurred as soon as I did ctrl + z to undo an edit - it went haywire right after that. I would greatly appreciate any tips, thoughts, suggestions. Thank you.

    Slow performance can come from a number of different things. Without knowing more detailed information about your setup or workflow, it's difficult to accurately troubleshoot.
    -What kind of Mac are you using?
    -What is your source format?
    -Where is your source footage located?

  • What camcorders are compatible with final cut pro 7

    There are so many cameras that use hard disks and flash memory and I don't want to buy one that is useless with final cut pro 7. What are some guidelines I can follow?

    Yesterday I was driving home from work in the carpool lane, and a motorcycle was coming up behind me. So I did my usual pulling to the left to give the fellow ample room.  But the car in front of me veered to the right as the motorcycle approached -- obviously to try and block him.  I was quite peeved at the idiot driver, even though it had nothing to do with me.
    In the same way, I am offended by the tone av3x is using.
    I don't like how he/she is talking to you guys, with comments such as, "David, why not just answer the question?"
    Hey av3x: The people on this board don't owe you any answers.  They are not getting paid to read about your troubles.  They have invested time with you already, and you should be respectful.
    BTW, it sounds like the JVC HM100 might suit your needs.

  • Error Messge: Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a CPU type of G5

    I recently updated my OS to 10.5.8. I also downloaded AVID codec for quicktime. Then, when I went to open FCP on my MacBook Pro (2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), I was hit with the error message Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a CPU type G5; this system has a CPU type of G4. I've never had a problem running FCP on this laptop. Any suggestions? Help!

    Also, I found another person who posted with a similar problem and here's what he wrote, (but curiously, he doesn't state what the fix was to his problem).
    After 1 and a half hours of support from Ireland it came out that some llibrary setting
    was conflicting with the startup of FCP. Apple did not hear of this problem before. I wonder
    how many macbookpro users have the same issue...

  • Where can I download Christmas generators / title cards compatible with Final Cut Pro X?

    I'm looking for title cards with holiday themes, snow, Christams trees, ornaments and the like. Where can I find these? A quick search online I found site that said they weren't compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
    I went to rippletraining.com and after downloading got this error message...and yet I am unable to find any applications in the App store that meet my needs.

    Okay, this seems out of my league! …
    you haven't tried!
    you managed to handle FCPX, a highly professional edit-tool.
    What I suggested, is just 'basics':
    compose a few elements.
    Get inspired by other videos you notice around.
    To animate 'elements', use keyframes.
    To apply 'overlays', green-screen/color-key is a basic procedure…
    To prep stills, a designated pic-processor is of fundamental need… although, even MacOS built-in Preview.app allows creation of 'knock-outs'/transparency… in case, you're shy to invest a few $$ for Pixelmator.
    It looks maybe complicated - it isn't!
    Don't try it first time for some serious projcect… but creating your very own Xmas-scenery is a lot of fun… plus, you learn a lot about FCPX and its many hidden gems…
    Final word:
    Catch some nice, own pics with your cam! … snowy trees, 4 candles and some cookies, a frozen window, illuminations in the streets, that crazy neighbour with his 50.000Watts of garden decorations .... Just add a charming title - done. Simplicity rules!  …
    Merry Chistmas!

  • How to replace audio on a music video with final cut pro x

    How do I replace low quality audio on a music video to a higher better quality audio with final cut pro x?
    I have the new audio on cd which I can rip and replace the original audio.
    Some audio and music videos are not of same length, In cases like this how do I sync video to the newly replaced audio?
    Is there any tutorial, link or where to look for this in the manual?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Providing you don't need the video synced or cut to a beat, all you need to do is place your music in the primary storyline
    Connect your video above.
    While your video is connected, hit CMD+R on your keyboard and stretch the video to the length of the music
    If you were to cut the video to a beat, simply add markers on your music track, then connect and trim clips to your markers.

  • Is the Canon Legria HF M56 compatible with Final Cut Pro X

    I am new to Mac and new to Final Cut Pro X. I am looking to buy a new HD Video Camcorder to use with my new computer/software and wondered whether or not the Canon Legria HF M56 is compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
    If it is, do you have to import the footage directly from the Camcorder, or can you first save the files to the Mac and import them that way?
    I currently use a Sony HandyCam HDR-SR10 which produces AVCHD .mts files. I have these saved on my Mac after transferring them over from my PC but Final Cut Pro X cannot import them. Very frustrating for a professional app to be unable to import these files. Even Cyberlink Power Director can use these files.
    Thanks for your help

    It's not on the tested list but it may well work.

  • Your experince with final cut pro vs adobe premiere?

    I am just wondering about your experience with final cut pro and adobe premiere and which you like better and why. Thank you.

    I am just wondering about your experience with final cut pro and adobe premiere and which you like better and why.
    I've posted this in other threads here: I've tried the Final Cut Pro X 30 day trial on my old Mac Pro 5,1 (heavily modified) and my new Mac Pro 6,1 (8-core, D700s).  I have a specific benchmark that I run on an NLE when I'm testing it: how long does it take to export one of my movies to a 720p h.264 MP4?
    If we assume the length of the movie is represented by 't' (for time) -
    The old Mac Pro and Final Cut Pro X 10.0: 2t
    The new Mac Pro and new Final Cut Pro X 10.1: 1/2t + epsilon
    The old Mac Pro and Premiere Pro CC: 1/2t + epsilon
    The new Mac Pro and Premiere Pro CC: 1/2t - epsilon
    The newer version of Final Cut Pro X is substantially faster at exporting my movie than the older version.  But Premiere is still faster than it is.  Also, Apple still can't get the whole "edit the source footage raw" bit right; my source footage is all spanned-clip AVCHD, with files that are over 4G a piece.  FCPX can't just open those raw, it insists on putting a MOV wrapper around the footage.  There's no transcoding happening, but the file I/O for those massive files slows the whole process down significantly.
    Because I don't have years of experience editing with NLEs, I'm not married to any particular UI.  FCPX's UI is ... strange, but I didn't find it too difficult to become used to it.  If it were faster and more efficient for what I do, I'd reconsider it.  But for now, it's all Premiere.

  • Burning a DVD with Final Cut Pro 10 stops at 95%, why ?

    Burning a DVD with Final Cut Pro X stops at 95%, why ?

    Stops completely? Mine stopped at 95% for quite a few minutes then finished.  This is usually the time in the process where the lead out is being burned and it will not show progress for some time.  If it is taking more than 10 to 15 minutes from that point you may have another problem.
