Help serious Audio rendering issues within final cut pro

Hello
I have some serious audio issues I am using Final cut 6.05. Here is my problem I am putting a AUParametricEq filter on my audio due wind noise etc. Anyway when i play it back on the time line it plays fine no problems but as soon final cut renders the file say for mastering to tape. at some point at the audio the audio goes all haywire, popping sounds or the audio just repeats it self at one frame or i can here audio from other parts of the timeline. And it just happened before i never had the issue. Is it the update. Hope anybody can help as I need to master about 6 projects to tape to clean my harddrives and all 6 projects have the same issue.

Are your audio files AIFF 48K 16 bit?

Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?

No audio track anymore in final cut pro timeline

Hi everyone,
God I feel dumb but somehow i shut off audio tracks in my final cut pro. I can see the previous ones down that I laid. But if I try to bring anymore clips into the viewer and then slide them down to the time line there is no audio that comes with it anymore. What button do I click to allow audio to pull down with the video on to the timeline. Weird.

Make sure you have the audio tracks targeted by using the patch panel at the left of the Timeline. Also make sure that the tracks aren't locked.

16:9 export issue within Final Cut Studio 2

Hello forum users,
I have captured 16:9 SD Mini-DV footage into Final Cut Pro 6, edited, rendered, etc. The edit is complete and ready for importing into DVD Studio Pro.
Now, whenever I try to export the footage from FCP 6 it goes to a 4:3 ratio clip, squeezing the footage from 16:9 and making things look rather compressed, horizontally that is...
I have viewed similar posts within this forum but I can not seem to find a definitive answer to my problem. I simply want to export my footage at a 16:9 ratio with as little hassle as possible. This is the first time I have worked with 16:9 footage so my apologies for being naive.
I appreciate and look forward to your replies.
Thank you,
Neil.

It exports it correctly... as anamorphic material.
So...
Your best bet is to use the widescreen export/compression options in Compressor.
However - if you want to go directly into DVDSP and have IT compress it for you then just load it into a video track and a contextual dialog box will change in the lower right of your window... there, change display to LETTERBOX or Force Letterbox... I always forget.
This will force the 4:3 sets to show 16:9 with letterbox and ws tvs to do full screen.
You can test it out with the simulate window in DVDSP... there are two settings, one for 4:3 and one for widescreen. Make sure it does what you want for both.
Good luck,
CaptM

Sending Audio Files back to Final Cut pro, nothing.

Simple issue:
I send from Final Cut Pro To Sound track pro some audio files along with the clip.
I edit it in Sound track Pro, and save (just like in the tutorial) then I quit.
I go back to Final Cut Pro and what do you know, the file that I sent HAS NOT BEEN EDITED!
Some one help.

I tried the same thing earlier in the year, and when the sound came back into FCP, it was corrupted!
Since then, I don't know if this is a good option, but it seems to work fine:
Once I have finished my editing in FCP, I export the soundtrack into an AIFF. I edit the AIFF via STP, and when finished, import it back into FCP.
I'm not experienced enough to know if this method is bad, but it has worked well for me!

Exporting issues with Final Cut Pro X

I have been working on the project for a few weeks now and it's been working fine till today, Im trying to export several clips from the same footage that was divided into seperate project files and every time I try to share it gives me an error message with a frame number. I've seen other people are having the same issue but none of their solutions worked - the frame number is different everytime, I dissabled all effects and I tried copying and pasting the sequince into a new project file but that didn't work either.

i only can speek for my situation
PROCESSOR 2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
MEMORY 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
FLASH STORAGE 512GB Flash Storage & mavericks mit eingeschaltetem app nap
i do not have a bad frames within my original file or project and a new user account was also not necessary,
but deactivation of APP NAPP was at least 2 times a solution. under mavericks i could export for the first time with no error
thanks for the tip!!

Is my issue with Final Cut Pro or my Macbook pro?

I'm going to try to be as thorough as possible in explaining my situation because I can't figure this problem out and it's exhausting me. I have an early 2011 macbook pro with the 2.2 ghz processor. I upgraded to 16gb of ram almost a year ago. I've been using Final Cut Pro 7 on this computer for several years now without issue and have made no setting changes that would prompt my problems. A few months ago my battery decided to stop holding a charge and now just registers 0%. Around the same time, while editing a short video my computer began behaving like it was overheating. It would crash, restart, crash and then restart again. After I did a disk and permissions repair it began to work normally again and I haven't had any more crashing issues. Around this period of time I began noticing that when my computer turns on it doesn't register the correct time and date. Given a few moments it corrects itself, but for some strange reason it was doing that every time.
Anyway, around that time I tried to upgrade to Mavericks and experienced an issue during installation because my hard drive was apparently damaged in some way and the installation couldn't be completed. I restored my previous OS and tried to carry on as I was with the damaged hard drive for as long as I could. I was still able to do everything I needed on the computer. I could still edit videos with Final Cut. I could still browse the internet. I could still stream Netflix.
About a month ago Final Cut stopped working. I could open the program, start a new project and import media files, but when I dragged them into the timeline, they just stuttered (audio would play but video would lag and then jump several frames then lag and jump frames). At the time I assumed this was because my hard drive finally gave up, but I was still able to do other functions like browse the internet and stream basketball games with nba league pass (granted they weren't crisp hd - on a side note, netflix was also behaving oddly. when I would browse through my list, it wouldn't stop scrolling when I moved the mouse away.) so I assumed the hard drive was my issue.
I just replaced my hard drive with an ssd (crucial m500) and upgraded to mavericks (10.9.1) and now I am having the same issues. Netflix behaves fine. Basketball games stream fine. My battery is still dead (obviously that wasn't going to change). I get the wrong date and time for a minute, but I'm thinking that's battery related now. But Final Cut still lags to the point where I can't use it. Video clips also won't render. I thought this might be an issue with the Final Cut program so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still did the same thing. Assuming I hadn't correctly/completely uninstalled it, I downloaded HitFilm 2 (an editing program that had a free download promotion at the time), figuring using a different program, if i could edit video with it, then my issue is with Final Cut and not my computer. Unfortunaely, I'm having the same lagging issues with HitFilm as I was with Final Cut.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Sorry if this was a rambling post, but I wanted to get as much of the background out there as possible, should it provides anyone with a clue as to what is the issue here. Does anyone have any idea what could be at fault here? I'm stumped.

10-bit issues in Final Cut Pro

Can anyone point me to any Apple support articles relating to the issues / problems of using 10-bit uncompressed sequence setting for online editing in Final Cut Pro ?
I know Final CUt Pro is broken for 10-bit in 4.5, 4.5HD and on but I would like to know exactly which filters are broken for 10-bit and which not etc.
I have tried searches to no avail, just getting forum discussions that highlight the topic but do not have much in the way of solid info.

You are like a lot of Avid people I know...hold on to the old old hardware because it still works. Only it doesn't. Or it does with a workaround, in this case. But I know soooooo many companies that are still using Avid 7.5 on Beige Powermacs, or Avid Express, or Meridians.
Why are you insisting on 10-bit? DV50 is 8-bit, so you are gaining nothing by going to 10bit uncompressed. Even going 8-bit uncompressed doesn't really help anything. I tell people to either use DV50 or uncompressed 8-bit if they want their graphics to look good when they edit DV. DV50 is a good solid codec. No need to convert.
If you go back to Avid, I hope it is one of the newer ones...Avid 3.5 or 4.0. Adrenaline killed it for me, made me jump to FCP without hesitation. And PC Adrenalines...the worse. But newer boxes are starting to win me over.
But then that is new equipment...more expensive equipment than FCP.

Need Help Recording From a PC to Final Cut Pro

Ok First forgive me for my inexperience I'm a Audio Engineer trying to help out my company, because our Video Director left. I work for a Video Game Development company and we always have to record in game video for commercials and this is really becoming a pain to me. The game plays on the PC and I have to record it in small HD segments using a program called fraps because none of the 2 Gig or larger AVI files I record can be opened on the Macs, so I have to go through this crazy conversion process to actually get them to the company that makes our TV commercials. I was Wondering if any of you knew if there was a Box that would let me play the game on the PC and then connect that output to the Mac and Record it in HD directly in Final Cut Pro, and then send that Final Cut Pro Project to the Commercial company. Like using the DVI output of the PC's Video card to a box then output to firewire on the Mac or something like this? Again sorry for my lack of experience and the long post just need some help
Thanks

Short answer yes. Longer one is you'll have to look around to find a solution that works for you. There are converters/scalers that will go DVI to video (HDMI) but then you need a capture card for the FCP system. One possible way is two Intensity cards from Blackmagic Design. Put one in each computer and connect them.

HELP! Convert .mts files for Final Cut Pro 6

Please help!
I am a broadcast/video production teacher in California and we are struggling.
I just bought some Canon R10s to go with our F200s. We edit on FInal Cut Pro and we have 20 G5, PowerPC Macs.
How do we convert the video so we can edit in Final Cut?
I bought an MST converter. Log and transfer doesn't work (we don't have Intel computers), I have tried to change the sequence presets. Some things work, but converting takes forever, we have to render everything, Final Cut crashes, and the video will skip right before the frame starts.
When using the MTS converter, we convert using the settings: h.264, 30fps, 1500 bit rate.
What should we change? What can we do?
We put together a weekly 20 minute show, and if this continues, I will start to lose the kids.
Thanks for the help,
Ben

Welcome to the forum,
Okay, as a starting point, if you're running G5s, you DO NOT want to transcode to h.264 for editing with. It IS NOT a working codec, it is a delivery codec, and/or an acquisition codec for many cameras. H.264 has a complex algorithm and is built on the mpeg4 format.
Without meaning to sound like a grumpy old man, the amount of times we see people on a daily basis coming to this forum with problems caused by editing in h.264, is just ridiculous.
I reiterate; Do not edit in h.264. You will grind your computers to a halt, and be rendering forever.
If you have the hard-drive space, you should transcode to ProRes and use that in FCP.

Picture-in-Picture within Final Cut Pro.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to display 2 videos playing simultaneously within FCP.
I believe it may have something to do with frames but I can't seem to solve my problem.
For example:
I would like to have a video playing, then I would like that video to shrink down smoothly to about a third of the screen and have a separate video playing in the space that the last video was playing.
A pretty good example is the RT Extreme video one the the FCP site: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/quicktours/
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Final Cut Pro 5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

1. Put the video that shrinks on Track 2.
2. Put the other video clip underneath it on Track
1.
3. Animate Track 2 using motion keyframes. When track
2 shrinks, it will reveal track 1 behind it.
So you need to use motion in order to accomplish this or is there a way to do this directly within FCP?

Issue Launching Final Cut Pro - Missing Disks Window....?

Can anyone help me with this issue? Just loaded FCP on my Intel Mac, and I keep getting this pop up window named " Missing Disks" that is telling me "To preserve the integrity of the data used by FCP HD, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the following path(s):
'36th Chamber/Users/Macluva99/Documents/Final Cut Pro Documents' is missing.
And it gives me the option to (1) Quit the program (2) Check again or...(3) Reset scratch Disk (then another window pops up and I have no clue what to do with.
Any ideas...?
Thanks,
[email protected]

This is actually version 4.5 for FCP HD, but I had loaded it on this machine a month ago and it was working and it wasn't giving me this pop up window/issue. That was when I was still on Tiger I believe. Would it be because im also on Leopard now as well?

Issue with Final Cut Pro 7 and Maverick OS.

I wanted to know if anyone was having issues with the new OS X 10.9.4 and Final Cut Pro 7 Studio? Are there any other solution other than purchasing new editing software?

I have FCP 7 running successfully on Mavericks 10.9.4 - although I mainly use Premiere Pro/Adobe CC now.

Rendering mov in final cut pro

I'm trying to export a 22 minute video in final cut pro and it continues to lock up on me when export line reaches 8 percent. Do I need to do something differently?

It may be due to a corrupted media or render file. Check to make sure it plays normally in FCP. If so, try exporting a self-contained movie (File-Export->QuickTime Movie).
If not you'll need to identify where the problem lays; a media or render file. If it's a media file, try playing it in QT Player. If it's a render file, trash it and re-render.
