HD footage not visible in FCP 5

Hi there,
I'm using FCP 5 on a MBP. I captured some HD footage from a Sony Camera and transferred it from my Producer's MBP to my Portable HD. On my producer's MBP, the footage looked fine, but when I imported it into Final Cut, I have the audio but not the video (all I have is a black screen). I also have a red "need to render" but it refuses to render when I hit Option R. Can someone help me please?

Apart from what Jon asked, what exact version of FCP?
If it is 5.0.4, it is incompatible with your hardware.

TechSmith ensharpen footage not readable on FCP 7.03

Hi,
I have problems to read footage encoded with TechSmith ensharpen 1.3 codec in FinalCut Pro 7.03. Any ideas ?
Thanks for your help

David is correct. You're using Camtasia, right? Yep, that's a very proprietary codec. And their codec download won't help, it only reads, won't write, in FCP.
Convert to ProRes (LT), you'll be fine.

RED Camera footage is Jumpy in FCP

Hello!
I am working off of an iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, with FCP version 6.0.4 (yes its older but I can't afford the newer version just yet). I downloaded the component from the red website in order to view the footage in quicktime and FCP, but its VERY jumpy and skips frames. I am also sourcing the footage from an external hard drive. Ive searched the internet and these forums for a solution to this but didn't find any helpful links. Does anyone know?

That's not entirely true - the fast RAID part - REDCode is highly compressed, so it isn't that demanding on disk bandwidth, however it is extremely CPU intensive. Which is where the stuttering comes from. Even on an 8 core system, without rendering, the CPU has to DeBayer and downcovert on the fly, 4K material to 1920x1080 - it's bound to skip a few frames now and then...

Casio Exilium Camera Video not visible in I-Movie 08

Hi,
I had created a number of movies with footage from my casio digital camera and my sony video camera.
Now with IMovie '08 the clips from my Casio camera (.avi files) are not visible. I tried opening the clips with QT and saving as .mov files but they were still not visible.
I have hundreds of clips that I would like to use with Imovie 08. Please help!

How do I convert with ITunes or QT Pro?
In QT Pro, open your file in a player. Select the "Export to Web > Desktop", "Export > Movie to Apple TV", "Export > Movie to DV Stream", "Export > Movie to iPod", "Export > Movie to MPEG-4", or "Export > Movie to QuickTime Movie" using AIC, DV, H.264, Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 Video, or Photo JPEG with either Linear PCM or AAC audio.
To use iTunes, you first have to place the content into an MOV file container using either the QT Pro, MPEG Streamclip, or similar media player/converter's "Save As..." File menu option. Once in the MOV container, drop the file to your iTunes Library, select it, use the "Convert Selection to iPod" or "Convert Selection to Apple TV" Advanced menu option, and import the converted file to iMovie '08. (QT Pro and MPEG Streamclip are both quicker and more direct.)
I have not done that before. Can you do it in bulk?
iTunes converts one file at a time. QT Pro does not allow batch processing but will allow you to convert multiple files simultaneously. MPEG Streamclip allows batch processing. iSquint probably has the easiest to use batch processor but like GarageBand and iTunes, it requires the AVI content to be placed into an MOV container first.

Page 1 Not Visible

I have 7.07 Adobe Professional and when a document is opened
page 1 is not visible. I have to toggle to page 2 and then back to
page 1 to see it, does anyone know how to help me?

In my project however: when I insert from media
browser title only shows black background with
text.
You have a couple choices. You can render your LT
movie in LT and make sure the box is checked that
reads "Render Backgound", but this doesn't seem to be
the choice you want from your post.
So go back to your live type graphic in Live Type and
move your background elements (drag them up) above
the thick gray bar in the timeline such that it
exists in the same area that your text tracks exist.
This way your background elements and text tracks
will all be seen in the .ipr file. And then when
it's in FCP maybe you will need to render it
depending on all that is included, but no big deal
just render it.
Everything will be there.
In you response to me: (You have a couple choices. You can render your LT movie in LT and make sure the box is checked that reads "Render Backgound", but this doesn't seem to be the choice you want from your post.) You left out one important detail. You first need to go to Project Properties and then check the Background Box).
Once you do that you can save your project (with the texture below the backround bar) and import into FCE. You still need to render in FCE. Thanks for your help.

Can XL2 16:9 60i footage be catured in FCP 3.0?

I'm having trouble capturing my XL2 16:9 60i footage in FCP3.0. Funky lines appear around areas of movement. Is the native 16:9 of the XL2 simply not compatible with FCP 3.0?
I had to create a custom preset for 16:9 and it's basically
720x480 NTSC DV (3:2) with the 16:9 anamorphic box checked.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve

Welcome to the forum Stephen!
It should be compatible. Are you viewing this on an external video monitor? If not, try that because what you see in the Viewer isn't always what you really have.
Might try capturing as standard DV, then turning on the checkbox to make the clip anamorphic after the capture too. The device control for that camera should be FireWire Basic too.

16:9 Option Not Visible

Hi,
Strange problem I am having. I haven't used Encore a lot. I am creating a DVD but have been unable to locate the option to set the aspect ratio to 16:9. It is defaulting to 4:3 and letter boxing my menu BG footage and dvd content. I seem to remember on previous projects a simple radio select for 16:9 on the properties panel but it not visible within this project. I don't know what I have done wrong? The footage is all .mov's exported from Premiere and most definitely 16:9 ratio.
Hope this makes sense.
Regards
Matt

MANY people have had problems with the content for Encore CS6, even with the link Ann posted, since the instructions are not very clear
This is for CS5, but the structure will be "similar" for Encore CS6... except for being in the 64bit program path
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS5\Library\Corporate
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS5\Library\Education
... and so on
Which means that when you unZip (or whatever) the downloaded content you will place the individual library folders as shown above... then, the next time you start Encore, it "should" let you open the folder(s) for the specific type of content
CS5 was MUCH cleaner in all this, since everything was installed during the original process, with no need to download and separately install the content

External hard drive not visible in disk utility or finder

Hi all,
I have had a good look through previous discussions and I can't seem to find an issue relevant to mine.
My external hard drive has 2 partitions (1 time machine back up, 1 general hard drive). The issue is that the HD is running when it is plugged in however it is not visible in either disk utility or finder.
I am running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) on a 2010 MacBook Pro. I also have parallels desktop running windows 7. When I boot windows and plug in the HD I usually get the option to mount the HD to either OS X or Windows. With this issue the option window appears for a split second (not enough time to select either) and then disappears. It seems that the HD may be ejecting itself as soon as it is registered by the computer. I have tried using a different power cable for the HD and also a different usb cable, this doesn't help.
The external HD is a Samsung D3 Station, which i have had for 6 months now and never had an issue with.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Bruce

An update for anyone who can help me:
I have tried the external hard drive in other computers (mac and windows), each time I get the same problem above.
I have removed the HD from the enclosure and purchased a docking station for it (3.5" SATA). When I plug it in to the laptop it disconnects itself straight away before it is visible. With the windows computers it installs the drivers and says that the device is ready to use, then disconnects before it shows up.
As the HD is not visible there is no option to re-format or anything.
This is very frustrating as I was using the HD with no issues and it randomly disconnected and I have not been able to access since.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1 - which is what introduced the bugs.

The only thing that I can think of that might be causing the issues that I have a Mac Mini on Mavericks.

Hi
I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html
He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

IDOC not visible in IR but metadata successfully imported

Hi,
I have this wiered issue.
I want to import IDOC WPUSKR01 (cashier productivity) from BI.
But when I connect to BI system from IR to import Idoc structure, this IDOC is not visible.
But I can manually import the metadata from BI in idx2.
Now how to import this in IR?
I have imported other Idocs (like WPUBON) before and did the scenario successfully for BI.
Regards,
Anirudh Vyas.

Hi,
In BI Tcode we82 I have manually added the entries for WPUKSR01. Now Idoc is visible when importing in IR.
I have checked all the segments in we31, they are all released.
But it gives error:
Error: IDoc type WPUKSR01 contains errors (unable to read segments)
Then, I checked in R/3, there also WPUKSR01 was not there in we82. I manually added there and I was successfully able to import it in IR.
But the same thing is failing in BI. I have SAPALL permissions in all the systems.
Can I use Idoc imported from R/3 in scenario for BI?
regards,
Anirudh.

How can I add a device to my library? My e-reader is registered but not visible.

Hello,
I use a Tolino Shine and can download E-Books via WLAN directly to it. I can also download the books to my netbook. However, when I plug the Tolino into my netbook it is not visible in the Adobe library and I cannot move books from the library to the Tolino.
I tried to reset the Tolino to the manufacturer settings. This did not improve the situation.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Reporting Flag is not visible in the manage screen

Hi BI Experts, Good morning.
We load the inventory data daily in the night time which is delta load.
5 days back, we got 0 records and the request is in red.Then i rerun the infopackage manually and got the total records in to the cube.
From that day onwards its running successfully.
Yesterday i deleted the bad request from infocube.
But the Reporting flag is not visible.
Today i didnot get the records.
Please can anyone tell me the process.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anjali

Hi Nagesh,
Still i am not getting reporting flag.
I tried what did u say.
And today i did not get the records. Infopackages didnot run. It shows in red.
I tried to run it manually but it gives error.
The error message is:
Short text
    An exception occurred that was not caught.
What happened?
    The exception 'CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere
     along
    the call hierarchy.
    Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
    adequately responded to, the running ABAP program 'SAPLRRMS' has to be
    terminated.
Please give me the reply.
Thanks in advance

Anjali

Drop down boxes do not show up. My tabs are not visible. I could barely see the box to type in this question. Something is off. I deleted and reinstalled program it is still just floating words. I work on a Mac with ox 10.6.8

The browser boxes, tabs, and links do not show up with the needed outlines, colors, and shapes. This box I am typing in was barely visible. Above this box is a set of two verticle parallel bars. When I moused over it, I saw it was for inserting a link, but if I had not been curious I would not have known what those lines were for. When I look at this page on PC I have a colored blue backdrop. It is not visible on the Mac. The search box does not have the image of the magnifying class and the arrow does not show up where it should be. The words Post Question just appear below the statement we have made some educated guesses about your browser. I thought maybe it had been a theme that was applied, but I do not see how it could have come on when I trashed the old version of the firefox.

A;though the CSS is very well documented, there are those that ignore those signs. Look at the following
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    position: relative;
    text-align: left;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: auto;
    float: left;
The rest have been given a width of 15em, so this value may be a good start.
DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
/* Submenu containers have borders on all sides */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
    border: 1px solid #CCC;
   width: auto;
    background-attachment: fixed;
Just keep the border property and remove the other two.

Data loaded in Infocube is not visible in the Reporting

Hi all,
In the info cube, the data is not visible for reporting, How can i make it available for reporting,
When i select the Manage option from the context menu of the cube and select the Requests Tab, i get a pop up message that tells
" There is an inconsistency between the load status of the data and the option of reporting on this data.
There is data in the InfoCube/ODS object that is OK from a quality point of view, but is not yet displayed in reporting.
The problem, for example, is to do with request 0000018049, number REQU_F4ZBFRMDGBULE9WCUN3R5UX5X."
How do i find out the inconsistancies?
PS: All the requesta are delta upload
There is no aggregates for this cube.
Thanks n regards
Girikumar

Hi Girikumar
Use the RSRV transaction and select All Elementary Tests in the dropdown ->Transaction data , select the Consistency of the Time Dimension for an InfoCube and select your cube and Execute the button ..if any error are there it will display the inconsistency ..Repair the Inconsistency with Correct Button..
Check the other test also ..
Hope the above helps you..\

I updated win7 and now I cant see ff. I have reinstalled it 5 times now. It shows it is running in task manager but it is not visible on the desk top.

I installed win7 ultimate and then ff. ff worked fine until I installed win7 service pack 1 and all the other updates it recommended. I click to open ff and nothing happens. I look in task manager and it shows it is running. It is not visible on the screen or in the task bar. I have reinstalled a fresh download of it 5 times. I even tried the beta version but still the same problem. I can use explorer and chrome ok but not ff.

The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.
