HELP: Smooth Cam wont work!!!

Hello,
I have been having some trouble applying the Smooth Cam Effect to clips in FCP 6. When a clip is active and I go to turn on the smooth cam effect in the video effects folder nothing happens. Smoothcam has no effect when it is applied. Replaying the clip with the effect on it does absolutely nothing different from the original. This is not a problem with exporting. This is a problem of just applying the effect to a clip. It doesnt even analyze the clip it should be applied to.......
I have used this effect on other footage and have seen the difference it can make. However, with the clips I am currently working with I see no difference. All of the footage I am trying to apply this effect to is very jittery with a lot of fast camera motion. Footage that I thought would be perfect for the Smoothcam effect. Has anyone else experienced trouble with the smoothcam? Is there something I am doing wrong here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is possible that the clip's media you are having troubles with was previously analyzed.
Control click the clip/s in question and in the popdown menu choose reveal in finder.
If next to the original media you find a file with blank icon and extension .mtdf delete/trash that and apply smoothcam again.
Remember that when applying the filter the entire media file to which your clip in the timeline refers to will be analyzed.
If you want a specific portion (an edited clip) of the media to be affected by SCam then set IN and OUT and export that as QT movie self-contained (no loss of quality involved) then re-import that and apply SCam.

  • Built in Camera wont work

    Ive had this computer for about 6 months now and after enjoying using photo booth and a working camera for 4 months it wont work any more. Every time I open photo booth it says that the camera is either unconnected (unlikely) or its in use by another application. When i check to make sure that all other application are closed i still says the same thing. I've created new accounts on my computer to see if it will work but of course it dosen't. Is there any thing i can do to fix this? Or is it pretty much done for? Please help! thanks

    Hello glamette
    You've received some good advice above. At this point, if your problem remains, you can use the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight to see if the iSight itself might be the problem. If so, you will need service by an Apple professional.

  • My ipod touch 4g camera wont work because the shutter stays closed

    My ipod touch camera shutter stays closed when i start the camera app. This has been happening for a while but if i reboot the ipod several times then the camera will work. I have rebooted it about 35 times now and the shutter still will not open.

    If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem the I would go make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare.  If you look at the right-hand side of the page with your post you will find other posts with the your same problem.  They are under the heading More Like This.

  • My Creative Cam wont work properly in MSN Messenger! I cant get the effects to work PLEASE HELP!

    When I open the webcam centre everything works fine I can get all the effects...BUT when I open messenger (MSN) I get a good picture but when I open the effects window I cant get the effects to work in there.... I went to the creative site which tells me I can use this cam ok in MSN Messenger....Please help before I pull my hair outThankyouBillie-Jean x

    I had the exact same issue but finally after much reading found that the Advanced Video FX utility must be activated first, then open the Web Cam Center.
    On the upper left side just above your image is a Device Selection box. You may not redily recognize it as such.. Click on the down arrow just to the left of the Format tab and select the "Creative WebCam(With Video Effects)". Now try the effects. This did the trick for me. Hope it works for you!

  • G575 Windows 7 Home Premium activation problem and easy camera wont work

    I have bought the G575 a month ago for my parents and everything was fine but yesterday i looked at the laptop and the camera was not working and the windows was not activated. I tried to activate it online by providing the windows key at the bottom of the laptop but it didn't work. Later i saw that the camera was not working and i tried to install the driver for it from the lenovo website and the installation failed saying that the device can't be discovered. I opened the device manager and tried to install the drivers trough the windows update and it failed saying that the drivers are found but the file is not found for the usb composite device. Any suggestions how the problems can be resolved?

    Hello saso and welcome to community,
    You need to enable the camera by Fn+Esc key and then install the camera driver.
    If you have received the pre-loaded Windows 7 with the laptop it comes as activated. If there is issue with pre-installed Windows 7 then you need to reinstall the Windows with OneKey Recovery
    Best Regards,
    Tanuj

  • After updating to io5 my front camera wont work, have done a restore but still no good,any ideas anyone

    I have an iphone 4 and have updated it to io5, the camera on the front does not work now, it will not open the shutter, I restored it but still no joy, has any one had this before and how do I fix it please

    I am having the SAME problem. It is making me want an Android this is so FRUSTRATING! Here's my issue:
    I have an iPhone 4 with 5.1.1. It fairly recently decided to have tons of issues connecting to Wifi. The 2 places I connect to Wifi are my home and my work. At home, my phone manages to about 95% of the time find the wifi signal, but I have to go manually put in my wifi password every time I want to connect, otherwise it'll just stay on 3G. When it doesn't find the signal I have to keep refreshing it and it eventually finds it.
    At work, the wifi that EVERYONE else uses, I have the most trouble connecting to. I have to manually go into my wifi settings and find the signal. That is IF it actually finds it. About 50% of the time it just doesn't find it. Then about 40% of the time it sees it, but when I try to connect it says "Unable to join the network "SEWELL"" (that's the name of the Wifi). Then about 10% of the time I can find it and connect to it. AND then sometimes when I am finally connected it'll just kick me off in the middle of browsing and I'll go back to 3G. This happens with work and home.
    I have tried EVERY troubleshooting method. I reset the network settings, I soft reset the phone, I did a full restore and deleted everything and still it doesn't work. I reset it all the time trying to get it to work and it just does nothing.
    Any other suggestions or am I just going to have to deal with it until the Samsung Galaxy S III comes out?
    Do you think if I took it to an Apple store they would replace it and that might help (iPhone 4 probably had it for over a year)? I know other people with iPhones (3G and 4's) and theirs work fine so I don't know how it can be the Apple 5.1.1 update?

    I just upgraded to the new Windows 10 and I cant get camera (webcam) to open pops up a screen saying  something went wrong  make sure your camera is connected  and not being used in another app. I checked and its not. Please help..

    If System Report / Hardware / USB does not list a camera, you have a hardware problem.
    Is the computer still under warranty? If it is take it to an Apple store. Check warranty here:

    Even if it is not under warranty, have it checked out at an Apple store. There is no charge for diagnosis.

  • I just bought QOTSA new album and track 8 smooth sailing wont work

    Anyone having troubles with track #8 smooth sailing?  It is telling me that my computer is not authorized to play it but when I enter my password it tells me it is and wont play the song.

    Delete the defective track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Recycle Bin. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
