HD import footage out of sync in Final Cut Pro X.

I am finally using my Final Cut Pro X and just got a Canon Vixia HF G10. I imported my first footage just a quick sample - only 25 seconds. The audio is not in sync with picture. In iMovie HD it plays perfectly but I need to use Final Cut Pro X. This picture also seems jumpier - not sure why. I have an importance project to get going on and need some help in fixing this problem.

Workflow:
Some of the AVI files he gave me were not accepted by MPEG Streamclip. He then burned the files to a dvd for me which I brough into MPEG Streamclip and exported to DV. This is how I got the exported file:
I did not change anything...just hit "export to DV"
For the files he gave me as AVI's (which he forgot to burn for me) I opened those in QT Pro and did save as to give me an MOV. When I tried to export it, it gave me the wrong size as there was no option to export 720x480 16:9....

Out of sync in Final Cut Pro 6

I shot a musical audition in SD on a Panasonic 3CCD camera. I'm using Log and Capture in FCP6 on my MacBook Pro, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM). I wanted this audition separate from others I've filmed, so I copied my previous sequence and deleted the video from it, then I brought in the new clip. After a few seconds, the audio and video go out of sync. I checked the sequence settings and they are the same as my original sequence. I tried ajusting the capture settings in Log and Capture Window (I chose DV NTSC 48K Anamorphic, which corresponds to my sequence settings, as best as I can tell (below):
720 x 480 NTSC DV (3:2)
NTSC- CCIR 601/DV (720 x 480) Anamorphic 16:9
Lower (even)
DV/DCPRO-NTSC
Editing timebase 29.97
48 Khz
16-bit audio
The footage isn't out of sync when I watch the being captured. I've tried several times, and yes, I zoomed in at the head of the clip to make sure I hadn't somehow bumped the audio tracks out of alignment!
Can anyone tell me what is happening here?
Thanks,
Andy

Oops. That's where I thought I was. Sorry.

How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response!
I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP. Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7. So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random. Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7. Thanks

How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7? Thanks.

Locate the .caf file you want to use in FCP in the Finder. Normally, iLife sound files will be in Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/(subfolder).
Open the file on SoundTrack Pro, the go to File->Save a Copy As. In the Save As window that will open, navigate to where you want to save the file, then near the bottom of that window, use the drop-down File Format menu to choose AIFF. Set the bit depth to 16-Bit Integer and the Sampling Rate to 48000 hz.
Import the resulting AIFF file into your FCP project.

Audio And Video out of sync in Final Cut, but not in quicktime

I heave searched the forums to no end to find the solution to this issue, unfortunatley, I have not solved the problem.
I am using Final Cut 4.5 on a G4 running OSX 10.3.4. This system has worked perfectly for years with no problems. Neither the system, hardware, or software has ever been changed on this machine. Suddenly last week, despite perfect sync while previewing the capture, the Audio and Video were of sync in Final Cut, but when checked in quicktime, there were no problems. That is how I eventually figured out this was a final cut problem.
By out of sync, I don't mean it is by a specific number of frames that can be adjusted and then everything is fine, the sync seems to drift so that if you edit the audio to be in sync in one part of the video, it won't be at the end. Also, it is out of sync from the first frame played, not a gradual drift.
This is definitely not an issue of frame rates or final cut settings as will be evident by the steps I took below to find the source of this problem.
This is what I did to attempt to fix the problem:
- Check drives using disc utility and repair permissions
- Remove Final Cut Preferences using Apple guidelines
- Switch hard drives
- Delete Final Cut and reinstall newer version of final cut (since the capture files played fine on Final Cut 5.1 on another machine)
- reinstall entire OSX 10.3.9, wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Final Cut 5.1
- switch ram slots, and even replace ram with different sticks from another G4 machine
None of these solutions worked. Is there some hardware problem with my G4 that is suddenly causing Final Cut to play audio and video out of sync?
Hope you can help, otherwise this otherwise great G4 is going in the dumpster!
Thanks

For what it's worth, I'm having what looks to be the same problem. Driving me insane. Here's what's going on-
Editing in FCP 6.0.2
QT was just updated to 7.3.1 the other day (hmm)
On an MacBookPro machine, OS 10.5.1
Software updater says everything's up to date of course.
DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal (footage was shot at 24PA on a DVX100b)
In Quicktime, the file previews fine, everything's in sync, everyone's happy. In FCP, the video and audio are wildly out of sync. I did a test inside of quicktime and sliced out a small portion of the media clip and did a "save as" and this small slice played in sync in FCP. However, this did not work for the entire clip. Clip is weighing in at 5.58GB for a 32 minute run.
I'm trying to multicam 2 tapes together and manually syncing these up is proving to be difficult at best. When anyone gets any ideas/leads/patches, let us know.
Grr,

Onlining p2 footage to dvcpro hd in final cut pro hd

so i'm gearing up to shoot with two cameras: the panasonic hvx900 and the hvx200. trying to figure out a workflow. i want to end up doing two things: using only dvcpro HD masters in the online (which would require transferring the uncompressed P2 files out to tape) and editing the P2 footage, along with the DVCPRO HD footage, at standard def in the timeline. so...
1) do i have to first transfer the P2 footage to the DVCPRO HD tapes and then do a downres capture from that? or is there a way that i could use the timecode from the P2 footage to make it through to the online using a different source (the DVCPRO HD tape) as a master, which would theoretically have the same timecode as the P2 footage?
2) can you even do downres ingesting? or does it have to be a capture? if it's not possible, then it seems like it's not even worth it to try to save time through ingesting.

hmm. the issue is that we are doing a doc and it's going to be huge, size wise, so we'd like to offline edit in standard def. so we can't really do the edit and be done thing. but we're trying to determine whether or not it's possible to capture from one format (P2 card files) and online using a copy of that P2 file with the same timecode transferred to a tape. or whether it's better to just transfer it to the tape first and then capture into the session from that. it could save us time if it were possible to ingest the p2 files in full HD for later transferring to the tapes, as well as converting to standard def for the offline editing. so i guess the big question is, assuming we get the right version of final cut, is it possible to do a downres ingest? and does final cut pro hd not do ingesting? thanks.

Capturing footage form HDR FX7 to Final Cut Pro 5.1

Hi Guys,
I think my posts are borring as I didn't get almost any replies. But I still need to figure out what to do with my new Sony HDR FX7 and how I can get the footage out to FCP 5.1
I've posted the details of what I've done in another thread here it is:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4655824#4655824
I just retured from the apple store and I was told to meet with one of the final cut pro gurus during my one to one lessons. But the earliest I can do that would be a week from now. I was also told that because it's Sony, there is known problem with capturing HDV into FCP. However, there's seems to be some sort of "patch" or program that you can download (probably a patch for FCP that enables you to capture from Sony HDR FX7.
Do any of you know that the apple store guys are talking about?
Where can I get this patch? What should I do?
I've tried the HDR FX7 on FCP 6 and the result is the same, it captures only first 2 seconds of the full hdv. Please help. Your responce is highly, highly appreciated.
Thank you,

Please do not double post. It confuses the natives and clutters the issue.
If you have something to add to an existing thread, just add it to the thread, don't start yet another one.
cheers,

Fade Out to White in Final Cut Pro (FCP)

Could someone please show me how to do add a fade-to-white transition in Final Cut Pro (FCP)? (Instead of black, which is default.) I want to be able to do both: 1) fade to white; 2) and white to the picture. An example clip:
http://www.allfilters.com/campingfilters/gravityfed/platypus-gravityworks-filter
*Click on the "Videos" tab.
This clip ends with "fade to white." I want to apply the same effect in the beginning (white to movie).
Thank you in advance.

Effects > Video Transitions > Dissolve> Dip to Color Dissolve ... add it at the start and end
Double click the transition at the start (the Fade In) to open it in the Viewer and change the Color property to White. For extra credit you can change the Start value to 50%. Then double click the transition at the end (the Fade Out) to open it in the Viewer and again change the Color property to White. For extra credit change the End value to 50%.
Or another way would be to use Effects > Video Generators > Matte > Color Solid to create a "White" clip and then use that to dissolve into and out of your edit using a regular Cross Dissolve transition or by placing the Color Solid on another layer and the keyframing the opacity.
Hope it helps
Andy

How do you import raw motion video projects into Final Cut Pro X

How can I take a raw motion video (not a template for a transition, generator, etc.) and import it into final cut pro so I can just put it right into one of my projects.

Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

Hi,
I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

Blanking/blurring out specific visuals in final cut pro?

I have a feeling that this is more suitable for the motion support forum, but is there a quick and easy way to blank out say a car number plate or logo on a t-shirt in final cut? The blurring doesn't have to be spot on, just enough for legal reasons.
Thanks
Alex

thanks for that! Which folder do i drop the app into? It says on the link you provided to drop it into /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins, but that path doesn't exist on my mac. I get to the Application Support folder and there isn't a folder for Final Cut Pro. I assume i just need to drop the Region Blur into the effects folder?
Thanks
