How do i resolve dropped frames in final cut pro hd academic 4.5?

i've tried all the suggestions in the "warning box"...i also remember seeing somewhere that the viewer and canvas windows shouldn't overlap or something?  should i throw salt over shoulder or wear a certain color or something?

Here are some things that may affect RT playback:
1. Make sure you have enough free space on all hard drives; 10 to 20% free space is a good amount.
2. Do not keep media and render files on your boot drive.  They should be stored on a 7200rpm hard drive that is either internal, or connected via Firewire or eSATA.  USB drives are not recommended.
3. Keep the Canvas window at "Fit to Window" or smaller, but never larger than 100%.
4. Turn of Canvas overlays such as Wireframe, Title Safe or level warnings.
5. Only use media that works natively in FCP.  Do no use video formats like H.2.64.
6. Render the Timeline fully; make sure all render types are checked in the Sequence->Render menus.

  • Dropped frames in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8

    Whilst working on projects in final cut pro playback is jumpy and I get the 'Frames were dropped' warning. This makes it extremely hard to edit and is massively frustrating... Anything I can do? I have upgraded to 16gb of ram on my Early 2011 13 inch macbook pro but it hasn't seemed to have done anything...

    Hi, I just upgraded to fcpx on our 2011 mac pro and I was having problems with audi not starting right away for playback in the timeline or clip library (.5 second or so delay) so I turned on the dropped frame check and sure enough I am getting them. I don't know if this is the reason for my audio playback lag, but was surprising to learn. I have premiere pro 6 on this mac and had fcp7 on it before and never saw this problem.
    The media I am importing is avchd 720P60 and the optimized media box is checked so I'm editing proress 4:2:2 60P footage.
    The Mac Pro has the internal apple raid card with fast drives (raid 0 mode) and plenty of ram (12gb). I do have the ATI Radeon HD 5870 card.
    Do I really  need to use proxy media instead with this setup?

  • How to set movie poster frame in final cut pro x

    Need some help on the following.
    Objective-using QT 7 or later, Current Compressor, FCP X or any other video editing tool, export a mp4 movie that displays a "poster frame" when the movie is inserted into iBook Author. When started by the user, the movie would begin to play from the first frame of the movie (not the poster frame).
    thx ra

    This sounds like a question for the iBooks Author forum. I think you set the poster frame in that application. How you make the video behave in the iBook is controlled in that application not in the editing application.

  • How to remove a freeze frame in final cut pro x

    I've added a freeze frame using Add Freeze Frame, but I don't know how to remove it and go back to the normal timing.  I can remove it immediately with Undo, but I don't know how to do it later.  I've searched around and the only close answer is using Modify > Retime > Reset Speed, but that doesn't do anything.  I also don't see anything in the Inspector window that allows me to remove the freeze frame.  Thanks.

    Hello Denise,
    Assuming your clip is on the Primary Storyline:
    Press Cmd+B to Blade the clip immediately before the frame in question.
    Select the first part of the clip and press Alt+Cmd+Up-Arrow to lift it from the Primary Storyline.
    Drag out the end to cover the duration of the clip you want to overwrite.
    Press Alt+Cmd+DOWN- arrow to overwrite to the Primary Storyline.
    I hope that's what you're looking for.

  • Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image?

    Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image? We have allready tried to set stillimages duration in preferences to 0,08 sek, but it does not have any effect!

    You can drag your images to the timeline, select all, ctrl-d and set the duration to 3 frames by typing 3 and enter.
    Or you can use Quicktime 7 to "open image sequence", select the desired duration, export your animation to quicktime and import that into FCP X for further editing.

  • How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help

    How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help!!

    Simply drop the effect onto the appropriate audio track. Set the frequency for the hum frequency (50Hz or 60Hz depending on your power supply). Include whichever harmonics you think might be present eg. 100, 150, 200Hz.
    Note that I have generally had more success by using Soundtrack Pro's noise removal tool.

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro onto my desktop?

    How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro to my desktop as a movie?

    Can anyone please help me.. when I click on my timeline in my project library and try to export movie nothing happens! and when I  try to "share" to youtube I get an error message stating that it cannot be exported because it contains "no video"... The 4 minute music video that I've created with shots off my Canon T2i looks and plays great....If I uploaded the videos into Final Cut but did not save them on my desktop or anywhere else on the Mac would this be a reason to get this message? I have never experienced this before...the only option under "share" that works is "email"

  • How do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?

    how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?

    Question: how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?
    Answer: It depends on what is causing the flickering.  It could be due to the pixel dimensions being too large for the Sequence settings in FCP.  It could be due to thin horizontal lines in the image.  It could be due to areas of the image in high contrast with each other.   Or it could be due to a combination of several factors.
    If the image is too large, reduce the pixel dimensions to a more reasonable size.
    If it's due to thin horizontal lines, deinterlace the image, or slightly blur the lines in Photoshop.
    If it's due to areas of high contrrast, reduce the contrast of those areas in Photoshop.
    In FCP you can also try applying the Flicker filter to the image in the Timeline and/or a Gaussian blur filter with a setting of around 0.2 or 0.3
