HT4589 fcp 10.1.1 won't playback

FinalCutPro 10.1.1 on MacBookPro with 4 gigs ram stalls and will not play back. Yesterday I was able to reboot and it played, today it just will not play although eacc clip in this three minute video has been redered. Seems like I was able to throw away certain pref files in the past to get it up and running, but I don't remember which ones. Any help is appreciated.

How is your free stage space? Do you have a separate drive for your llibraries and media?
In the Viewer Display dropdown, set playback to Better Performance.
Open up Activity Monitor to see what's going on with memory while this playback issue is going on.. Check the swaps info,
4 GB is cutting it close with 10.1. If your model permits, increase that to 8 GB.

P2 files won't playback...

Has anyone had this issue. I am trying to playback some clips that originated from a HVX200. I used log and transfer to bring into fcp v6 and took a small clip and cut it down to say 20 secs moved it to the timeline and hit enter. The clip won't playback. When I hit enter again it stops on whatever frame it end on and updates to that frame but won't play throughout.
Any ideas.

Update:
A/V Settings
-Playback Output
Mirror on Desktop or set to none...
When I clicked on none it would play in monitor. When I clicked on output to Digital Cinema and didn't have set to mirror on desktop it did not show up. I'd hit Enter and it would not playback. When I hit enter again it would update to the frame it stopped on.
So basically the settings in the A/V Settings Tab need to reflect the output you want...so it is now working.
Thanks for your help...

FCP 5.1 file won't open in FCP 7

Hi.
I am at my wits end...I have a FCP 5.1 file that I have been working on for years.
I had to upgrade to FCP 7 for reasons I won't go into and now my FCP 5.1 file won't open.
It is a file with footage from P2 cards. It has magic bullet/looks builder used throughout. I am not sure if that is the issue at one point ONE of the messages I got when it crashed (I got a few different ones at different times) was something about looksbuilder not working right.
In a nutshell, it slowly starts to open and then quits. (It gets to about 33 percent open over the course of 45 minutes and then crashes.)
The file is about half a gig and there is plenty of room on the MAC itself so it shouldn't be that the Mac is overtaxed.
I don't know what to do.
I tried opening various back-up copies, etc. because I thought maybe something was just corrupted. NONE of them open.
I tried deleting render files to limit how much it was trying to process when it opened the thing.
I even tried turning off the external drives that hold the media hoping that if it couldn't find the media it would just open the shell of a file for me and maybe I could reconnect it all later. Obviously, grasping at straws...
I am out of options. Do I just need to wipe my computer and reinstall 5.1 from scratch? That would stink because there is another project being worked on on the computer that is a FCP 7 file.
I tried putting a copy of FCP 5.1 back on the computer (so I have 7 and 5.1 on there now) to get it to open, but FCP 5.1 won't work either now (I get General Error 41 - whatever that means) Maybe you can't have two versions of FCP on the computer? Maybe it thinks it got opened in 7 so now it won't work in 5? even though it never fully opened? Guessing...
I'd appreciate any and all help. All I want to do is open the 5.1 file and save it in FCP 7 and work from there.
Thanks!
Shari

Hey Michael:
Thanks for the response. I did something similar in that I opened the file on another computer that had FCP 7 and it was fine. So I saved that. Then I went to my Mac and tried to open that file and it crashed...but it said something about Looksbuilder...so I contacted them and they had me uninstall, reinstall and then fix the preference files for Looksbuilder and it now opens.
YAY!
Thanks again,
Shari

FCP 7.0.3 won't open project files with OSX Lion.

After upgrade to Lion, FCP 7.0.3 won't open existing project files (built with 10.6.8) Error message is "wrong file type". Help?

If deleting your preferences doesn't work, here are some more troubleshooting tips
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2591
If you like, you could send me a project file that won't open. I'll check it on my system and we can eliminate the possibility that the project files have been corrupted. Me email is in my profile. Be sure and compress project file before attaching to email (control click on file and choose "compress." this will create a zipped version of the file that's suitable for attachment.).

Premiere Pro CC Won't playback with an audio interface (Scarlett 2i2)

Pretty much when i want to playback my videos they won't, when i change the audio hardware to my computer speakers it works but with my external audio interface it won't playback.

Hi,

Premiere Pro Won't Playback Video

I am using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 on an iMac OS X 10.9.
Any video won't playback in the preview tray or the other tray (top right). Nothing will playback. This was working a few weeks ago, but now nothing plays back. What can I do? I have already tried reinstalling Premiere and I even formatted my iMac, but to no avail.
Also when I press play, the stop button appears, but when I press it, it doesn't go back to the play button. Please, I need Premiere for work, any ideas?

Are you using external speakers for playback? I have some Genelec's that plug into the computer via firewire, and occasionally I have the same problem you do. To fix it I unplug the speakers from the computer, plug them back into a different firewire port, then restart the computer. You can test if this is the issue by going to Preferences, Audio Hardware, and then selecting either your headphones or internal speakers. If playback works, then try unplugging/replugging your speakers.
It's a hacky fix, but it's worked for me (in fact it worked for this afternoon).

Premiere pro won't playback

Guys,
I've got a problem with premiere, when i start it, the source monitor is white and it wont playback my project. And after a couple of seconds premiere is not responding anymore and quits. I've tried to close the source monitor but still won't playback...
Starting a new project is not solving te problem.
Reinstalling premiere doesn't either.
Any ideas???

Mehmet,
The "white screen" is a classic result of an obsolete video driver.
Let's get that one out of the way first. What is the make/model of your video card?
What is the number/date of the installed video driver?
Is that the latest driver FROM the mfgr's. Web site, say nVidia, or ATI/AMD? Do not rely on the OS, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver - check that out for yourself.
Good luck,
Hunt

I.O.S 8.1.3 iPhone won't playback video.

Hi,
I have an H.264 Quicktime that I was sent via wetransfer however the video won't playback on my iPad or on iPhone. My iPhone is on i.O.S 8.1.3. It also won't playback on i.O.S 8.1.2. The file will playback on and iPhone with i.O.S 7. I've converted the file to an mp4 specifically for iPads and it also won't playback. It does play on the i.O.S 7. I've tried accessing the file not through we transfer but through an ftp site and the same applies. No playback. Does anyone know about this being a bug in i.O.S 8 or if there is a work around to get the video to play on i.O.S 8?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Louise

Good Morning Denise -
Sorry to hear you are having issues connecting to your Wi-Fi network. I'll include a few more things that you can try to troubleshoot this below. The first thing that I'm wondering is if you cannot connect to your Wi-Fi at home -- are you able to connect to a different Wi-Fi network (at work, a local coffee shop, etc.)? That would be one of the first things to try.
Turning the modem and router in your house of and then on is also a common step as it "reinitializes" everything. Hopefully, one of the steps below will help you with this.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204051
Restart.
For more help, try restarting your device, router, or cable/DSL modem. After each step, check to see if you fixed the issue.
• Restart your iOS device.
• Unplug your router and plug it back in.
• Unplug your cable or DSL modem and plug it back in.
Still can’t connect?
Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
Get more help
Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.

FCP two monitors, 2nd won't display playback anymore

I have two Cinema monitors specifically for working with FCP. The second monitor played what I see on my canvas for two weeks. When I started FCP the second monitor went black ready to play the canvas.
It no longer does this. The first indication of trouble was when I brought a motion template to FCP which was an HD clip. The second monitor would not play it, when I stop the playback I can see the frame it was on. Then today, the second monitor will no longer work with FCP.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. FCP6.

try pressing Cmd-F12 (thats View menu *> External Video > All Frames*)
also check that your second monitor is correctly assigned for preview playback
eg View menu *> Video Playback > Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Full-Screen*

FCP 6 Sequence Settings and RT playback problem

Hi everyone
Have recently bought a copy of Final Cut Pro Studio for my macbook pro
I know to play video in FCP in real time all the sequence settings need to match the captured video/file settings of the clip.
All my settings are matching, Ive tripple checked them but they are STILL saying I need to render the clip before playback in SafeRT.
Have tried deleating files and re-importing them ect still no go.
The file ive imported is a DVCPRO HD codec.
I cant render everytime I want to play a video - thats not an option. It should be okay if all the settings match (Which I belive they do) but still not working.... is there a vital setting I may have missed?
Im running FCP 6 on a
Mackbook pro 17"
5400 rpm sata drive
NIVIDIA 8600 geforce 256MB graphics card
160GB hard drive
2.0 MB Memory
this prob is SO WEIRD
cheers
h

Yeah tried doing that, plays okay but really want to get the safeRT working properly
wow - i didnt realize that the 5400rpm drive in the macbook pro would preform so poorley with compressed codecs such as DVCPRO which is a pretyt standard codec yes?
I guess the 7200rpm drive now is def the way to go - i was getting one anyway
so does it matter that the computer drive speed is 5400rpm when working of a 7200 rpm firewire 800port drive? I assume that if all the media is on the 7200rpm the computer internal drive would only be running the program, which would be more then enough do you agree?
Its looks as if FCP 6 has some way of recognising the computer drive speed for accessing the media and determining whether it is fast enough or not, if not, wont even try to attempt to play in RT resulting in the red render line, no matter if I have my sequences settings all set up correctly and matching. This is something that I am unclear about in the software.

FCP 5.0.4 won't render all tracks.

FCP 5.0.4 fails to render all of my tracks. There are three, and in some places, four video tracks. It only renders the third and fourth tracks. Plays fine in the timeline but will not output in any format. Audio is fine. Video is all black except where there are three or more video tracks, the topmost tracks play fine.
I have trashed FCP preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled FCP - no change. The source files are fine, as I can play them in Quicktime with no problem. They even play on other machines.
Any ideas? Please don't tell me to trash the preferences, as I've already tried that.

I've been pullin' my hair out lately with the whole render issue as well. MAY have just stumbled onto a solution a few min ago. I looked at the permissions settings on the external disc that I'm using as a scratch disk. It was set to read/write for everyone under the sun. I thought I'd just propogate those permissions one more time to be safe and I got an error msg that said I couldn't propogate because some items won't let me. So, I checked IGNORE OWNERSHIP ON THIS VOLUME and voila. Render issue solved. However, I don't think this is the best way to solve the problem...but in a pinch...may just work for ya.
Good luck

Avchd imports into fcp 10.0.7 but choppy playback-even after using clipwrap

I am not sure where the problem may be. I record onto the sd card (16gb sandisk extreme class 10, 45mb/s) from brand new canon m500. Card is read in FCP X and can import but when I play back everything is choppy.
I am recording as avchd, mxp-used 60i frame rate & 30 frame both had same issue.
I tried clipwrap and that improved the first 5 seconds and then still choppy for the remainder.
When I playback the sd card inside the camera no problem-looks and sounds great.
If I look at the file on the sd card - after putting sd card in macbook pro (mid 2009-handles FCP just fine) or copying to computer it is titled as "private." I changed the permissions.
I am also using a canon hv 20 (mini dv)-absolutely no problems with import.
Any thoughts or ideas? I am on a deadline and losing a lot of time.

Thanks Alchroma & digibudIl--Iappreciate the quick reply.
I was able to figure out a solution very similar to the suggestion of changing the playback & optimizing media. Here is what I set up. With these setings, the playback of the file before import is still choppy. After import it is still choppy until the background tasks reach 100%-next to the timecode. Once 100% then it playsback smoothly with these settings.
I was using the internal hard drive on my macbook pro. My workflow is to (sometimes) use the internal hard drive and then transfer to external hard drive. Other times import to external hd.
What was interesting to me about the import process is with AVCHD, is that FCP X recognizes the file from the sd card as an avchd file. I did not need to save the files to another folder, create an archive etc. I tried all these with the same result as the simple import in FCP X.
One last question. The Canon M500 can shoot at a frame speed of 60i and 30. Is 30 lesser quality or is 60 better in some way. I will be editing the footage in FCP X.
Thanks again for the help and I hope my experience helps others.

FCE4.0.1 project file (.fcp) to .mov file. On playback.mov freezes

I have a 25 minute project which, in nested form, plays perfectly when it is in the project file format (.fcp) But once transcoded to .mov, which I do to make a self contained movie, it always, after conversion and on playback, freezes at one particular spot. To get over this I trashed the clip where the freeze happened and re imported it to the FCE Timeline. But, again, once transcoded to .mov, it froze. In exporting from .fcp I go this way : Open the projerct file>Export>QT. Then I give the file a name and pathway and waited while the process happened. Has anyone got any idea what is causing this problem? Or any way of getting that .fcp to an mp4 file without going via a .mov file. My end format for the client is an mp4 file but I do like to hold the project as a .mov master, if possible
James B

First thing I would do is trash all the render files, then re-render the entire project, then try exporting again.
To trash the render files: carefully delete all the files in ~/Final Cut Express Documents/Render Files (unless you set up a different folder for render files)
To re-render the entire project, do both of the following:
Sequence > Render All > Both
Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown
Then save your project. Then try exporting again.
BTW, how full is your hard drive? A loaded hard drive can cause all sorts of gremlins with video. Also, are you using the same hard drive for both your source media files *AND* as your export location?
ps. You can export directly to MP4 by doing Export > Using QuickTime Conversion and choosing the appropriate settings (Format > MPEG4 & related options).

Premiere CC 2014 won't playback

Hi,
I am working on a piece utilizing mostly still images (a mixture of PNGs, JPGs, and TIFFs) which have been animated using the motion properties. This was originally a FCP7 project that I moved over to PPro via XML when my company migrated to the Adobe CC. Starting yesterday it won't play back at all; I will press the spacebar to start playback and the play button in the program monitor will flash to the stop icon, like it's trying to play, but then it doesn't do anything. Sometimes it won't even refresh the program monitor when I move the CTI around the sequence. I've tried restarting the program and the computer and a few times it would resume refreshing the program monitor when I move the CTI, but it still won't play back.
I am running Premiere Pro 2014.0.1 on a Mac Pro with OSX 10.8.5, 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon CPU, 14 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro 4000 GPU with 2 GB VRAM.
Any help you can give will be most appreciated!
-Hunter

Hi lastminutevp,
Thank you so much for the screenshot. please create a new sequence by making a right click on the Video and select "New Sequence from clip" option.
Check the playback in the new Sequence. If it works copy the complete timeline to the new sequence.
Thank you.

FCP 5.1.1 won't start on MacPro

Got my lovely new mac pro last week and FCP studio 5.1 arrived this morning... but, when installed FCP it opened ok... and Motion wouldn't open. I used software update and there were a ton of updates for all FCP studio apps.
But, now Motion is prefect and FCP won't open... no info window... nothing.
Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening?

What happens to the folder - do you have to leave it on the Desktop?
