How do I get Final Cut X to recognize a NAS server

Recently purchased a NAS server with the hopes of importing media to the server from two shared iMac work stations. However, I found out that Final Cut X does not see the server. Is there a patch or a workaround?

Did you try File>Add SAN Location?

How do i get final cut pro x to recognize my time capsule in event library

how do i get final cut pro x to recognize my time capsule in event library?

Yeah I'm getting the same issue. I purchased a new Mac Mini yesterday purely to use the new FCPX, and now on day 1 I'm already running into problems... please don't make me switch to Premiere.
Set up the computer with external yesterday, never set anything to Time Machine. Here's a screenshot of the drive, formatted on Mac OS Extended (Journaled):
And here's a screenshot of FCPX not recognizing the drive:
Apple please respond to this post, would really appreciate some help here troubleshooting.

TS2521 How can I get Final Cut Pro 7?

I would like to get Final Cut Pro 7. Is this possible? If so, does the Studio version have motion, etc.?

Motion and Compressor are separate.
And know, that FCP-X is unlike FCP 7 in just about every way possible. The way it works is vastly different. And you cannot open FCP 7 or 6 projects in it without buying a 3rd party converter.
Now, I hear many people like it...I just wanted you to know that it is VERY different from FCP 7

How can i get my Imac, running OSX 10.6.8 with a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, how can i get Final Cut Pro 4 and DVD studio pro 2 to run on it?

I just bought an IMAC running OSX 10.6.8 (not sure what flavor that is). The processor is 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Late 2006). When i run Final Cut Pro 4 on it I get the following error.
                    "Configuration error
                       This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing
                                * AGP graphics Card"
If Final Cut Pro 4 doesn't run on my system, what version of Final Cut can I run on this as I am a filmmaker and really am comfortable with Final Cut Pro.
On the same note I also have DVD studio Pro 2 and that just quits without any message.
Hope any of you can be some help.
Thank you,
Doug

This is my first mac in a long time so i'm not sure about what this mac is as i didn't buy this from apple (ala Amazon). I'm a tad confused about the Intel/PowerPC thing. I do know the software version for sure, but the Intel/PowerPC is very confusing. I just need to find someone who would know about this question. It doesn't say G5 on this computer. Thats my biggest confusion. Help Me...

How do I get FInal Cut Pro to save the render files?

Final cut used to work really great, but lately it has stopped saving any render files, so ever time I try to edit something new it starts re-rendering all of my other files and slows it down to the point of crashing a lot. Is ther any way to fix this or get it to NOT render things that I am currently not editing?

Can you see the render files in your project folders? FCP X does not stop rendering by its own choice, check your preferences, as Tom suggested, and restart FCPX to see your settings taking effect.

How can I get Final Cut 7 to remember my customized keyboard layout?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this community, my name is Flavio, from Argentina.
I'm on a Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2, using Final Cut 7 and I'm using a customized keyboard layout (1 for zoom in, 2 for zoom out), but everytime I launch the application I have to go to Tools>Keyboard Layout to change it, is there a way to tel the ap to launch that layout almays?
Thanks!

It works for me without doing anything special. You might try deleting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If that doesn't solve it, describe exactly what your doing to customize the keyboard.
I assume if you do a "save keyboard layout" from the tools menu: keyboard layout after customizing the keyboard and then load keyboard layout after relaunching fcp, that at least works.

How did i get final cut pro 5.0 to work on mac book pro

anyone know why its working fine?? i just put the disk and it seems to work beautiful...

There is nor reason for it to not work, most PowerPC applications will work on the new Intel based systems. The 5.1 update for Final Cut Pro is meant to run a lot faster thats about it (other than possibly some bug fixes).

How can i get final cut see my camera to import video?

my final cut is not seeing my camera to import video? help me?

First, with the camera connected via firewire to your mac, go to applications: utilities: system profiler and make sure the firewire is showing the camera. If not, it's possible the firewire port is burned out on the camera or on the computer. You can also try swatting out the firewire cable.
HDV is always a little tricky. Make sure your easy setup matches your shooting format. If I remember correctly, the camera may shoot some formats that are not compatible with capturing in fcp. You can usually display the shooting format in the cameras lcd format. Let us know what it is.
When you've matched the fcp easy setup to the format you've shot, quit final cut, start the camera playing with a video signal, and then launch fcp and start log and capture and see if the camera is recognized and if there's video in the log and capture window.

Working on a movie... can't get final cut to even recognize dek for capture

We are shooting a movie on a mini dv camera, it's hd, and we hooked it up like normal with firewire and final cut won't even recognize anything is connected... checked cords, restarted final cut. What do I need to do to make it work!?

If it's a small Canon and it shoots 24P, it is the HV20. I have that camera.
You need to make sure it is in Player mode (opposed to camera mode) then visit the menu. This may be the problem.
Next, use the joystick to navigate the menu. Go to Menu/Settings and set the 1394 out to HDV out. It may be set on DV out.
If that doesn't work, try iMovie. The camera shoots in native 1080i format, but has an option for 1080i with 23.976fps in a standard 3:2 pulldown.
FYI, I've been successful at removing pulldown from the camera in Cinema Tools but that's another topic. If you are editing the footage, working in true 1080P is very nice and is only possible with a small handful of cameras out there. The HV20 is remarkable for it's ability to shoot footage that can be pulled down in its price range.
Another thing: Most editors new to HD editing would be best served by avoiding the native HDV format. FCP and iMovie offer a way of capturing the footage and converting it to a special format called Apple Intermediate CODEC. This is a much larger filesize than HDV, but it is much more responsive when editing. HDV is rather choppy and seems to lag behind my editing movements a bit. Apple Intermediate is much faster feeling and requires much less CPU power to playback. This can further be explained in the many topics found here using the keyword "intermediate".
Good luck.

I have a Canon Vixia HV30 camera and can't get Final Cut Pro x to recognize it. Any suggestions?

How can I get Final Cut ProX to recognize my Canon Vixia HV30 camera?

Does your Mac have a FW 800 port? If it does, use a 4 pin to 9 pin connection. If you have only Thunderbolt, use a FW>Tb adaptor. Either way, your Mac should see the camera. If it does, so will FCP.

Can't get Final Cut to recognize my camera.

I have a Canon VIXIA HF11 High def video camera and I can't get Final Cut Pro to recognize it. I don't have a firewire connection on the camera. It is a USB 2.0. I assume this is the root of the problem. iMovie recognizes the camera and imports the files. Does anyone know of a way to get the files into Final Cut? Thanks!

Might I suggest a training DVD
http://www.classondemand.net/media/final-cut-training/fcp7.aspx
This is an AVCHD camera. You need to use the log and transfer function with the correct settings. You should not use iMovie for capture as it captures in an older codec that's not very good. In FCP7 you can capture in ProRes or ProRes LT, both of which are superior.
I stand to profit from this message.

Does anyone know how to get final cut pro x to stop lagging?

Does anyone know how to get final cut pro x to stop lagging?

Two things: 1) MORE RAM.
2) What hard drive?
I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but the bare minimum to get decent performance out of FCP X is 8GB.
If you mac supports more, even better - go to 12GB or 16GB.
Also, the hard drive? Are you editing on the internal drive? That is also a bottleneck. The system drive should not also be used as a media drive; plus, depending on model, it may not be very fast drive to begin with.
You should use an external drive with a fast enough connection - USB3 or Thunderbolt, if possible; FW800 as a distant third. USB2 may also work, albeit it is a relatively slow connection.

How to get final cut 5 for older Mac

Can't discuss getting codes on this forum. There are copyright restrictions. Sorry. But you might find better support buying the full package from someone who does not wish to keep their own copy. Usergroups are excellent sources for finding people with older software.

How to export from Final Cut Pro after downloading Maverick

Final Cut Pro no longer exports after installing Maverick. I get this: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.) - have paid for Compressor and instaled it - but it makes no difference.

But how do I update Final Cut Pro 10.0.3? Apple says all my updates for everything are fine. It worked well before I installed Maverick, and now I can't get any of my short films out of it! They won't copy over to IMovie so I have to start again and basically scrap Final Cut Pro - which seems a bit unfair just for updating to Maverick. Makes the free download a bit pricey in the long term.

How do I stop Final Cut Pro 10.1 from introducing artifacts?

How do I stop Final Cut Pro 10.1 from introducing artifacts?
Can someone please tell me what do do differently so that my edited video does not develop artifacts that were not in the original camera file. My Sony HDR CX900 produces crazy detailed XAVC S video that FCPX seems to import with no problem but FCPX is introducing artifacts: some on import and more on share. The artifact in the examples below appears above and below the horizontal rope line on this model boat. Please look closely. It doesn't look to bad here, but it dances on my screen. Also, the video generally degrades much more than I would have hoped. How can I get more professional results? Sorry for the long post, but more information now might save time and questions.
Below is a portion of a frame opened in quicktime directly from camera's card.
Below is the associated Inspector for above frame
Here is the same after it is imported into FCPX. Optimized and Proxy Media were created, but FCPX seems to select what to play so I can't tell you which one is shown here.
Here is the associated Inspector capture from FCPX.
Here is the same frame once again after it is Shared as ProRes 422. Note the horizontal lines above and below the rope lines on this model yacht.
Here is Inspector for the above file.
Here is the same once again after it is Shared as H.264 Better Quality.
I tried converting to Proress with 5Dto RGB and Brorsoft Video Converter. They both went though the process, but introduced similar artifacts.
How can I get more professional results?

Russ H.
When I right click on the clip in the browser and select Transcode Media, the dialog box opens, Optimize Media is checked, but OK is greyed out. Transcode is not an option. I think this points to the fact that FCPX is doesn't need to transcode XAVC-S or FCPX can't transcode XAVC-S. This is a new Sony codec produced by the new HDR CX900. The codec is HD at 50Mbps.
Tom Wolsky,
I selected Optimized Media in the viewer and both the timeline and exports (422 and H.264) look great.
The 24 second long exported video jumps a couple of times as if skipping a frame, as it plays. Could this be related to 29.97 instead of 30fps?
Thank you so much for getting the image right. Now if I can just eliminate those couple of small jumps.
