HT5103 SPINNING BEACH BALL FINAL CUT PRO..HELP!

Trying to edit a project and the spinning beach ball appears and continues to spin the second I click onto the project. Seems so sensitive.I've deleted and clean up files etc..in disk utility, went into my osx, cleaned up there. What else can I do? Help!

Hi!
I have to reply to everyone out there having problems with slow Final Cut Pro X.
Since I got my app I had so much problems. But I upgraded my Powerbook to a 2.5Ghz Intel Core i7 with an external Thunderbold drive.
I have had no problems with anything since then.
So my understanding is that there is nothing wrong with FCP X it self. You need a fast machine and (of course) a fast external drive.

I can't burn a normal dvd from final cut pro.Help would be much appreciated!

Hi.I am having great difficulty burning my final cut pro project to dvd.It is shot in HD and I have compressed it but when I burn a dvd it will not play in a normal/standalone dvd player.Could someone please tell me how to burn my project to dvd.Can HD film be burned to a normal dvd?The final cut pro file is only 1.3 GB.Any help/advice is much appreciated.Thank you.

>Could you please tell me what the best settings to use when compressing to quicktime or if infact it has to be done at all?
Matt has already told you twice; his first response (above) gave you step-by-step instruction.
I'll spell it out for you again but with slightly more detail:
1. In FCP, render the Sequence fully, then go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie. (do NOT use "Using QuickTime Conversion). In the export window, do NOT Recompress All Frames. You can chose to make the movie self-contained or not.
2. Use the resulting file in Compressor, where you will chose a DVD preset appropriate for your video's duration. If needed, you can duplicate then modify any preset to better suit your needs. Compressor will create two files; an MPEG-2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.ac3).
3. Use the two files created by Compressor in DVD Studio Pro to author and burn a DVD. Do NOT author an HD DVD as these will not play in DVD players.

Final Cut Pro Help

Ok, I just bought a new iMac with Tiger. I have Final Cut Pro 2, with all of the upgrades to HD. My problem is that I cannot install 2 because it wants OS 9. What do I do? I need to start editing with Final Cut HD, but I can't do anything until I can figure out how to install 2. Please Help!
Josh
An older G-5 here at work has Classic, but mine doesn't. Do I need to get my hands on OS 9 and install it so I can have the option like the g-5??

Welcome to the forum. Please update your profile listing your computer info and OS.
What OS do you have?
What kind of iMac do you have?
Make sure you meet the system requirements.

FCS2 does not run on OS 9.

Spinning Beach Ball at login--please help!

Hello! Today I booted my iMac and when I clicked on my username as usual, the spinning beach ball appeared. It was working fine till yesterday! The only two unusual things were yesterday evening, when Safari died on me when a Flash ad loaded and then all the rest of my open applications started not responding (I forced-shut down my iMac and went to sleep), and the Apple firmware update I did on Monday (but again, it was working fine till yesterday). What do I do now if I can't login? Please, please help me! I was very stupid and did not backup the data in my FileVault, so I really need to access my Vault!

Cleaning global and user caches didn't work, cleaning user preferences didn't work, Safe boot didn't work, single-user mode didn't work, the only option left to me was Archive and Install, which fixed my problem.

Importing/Exporting LiveType Files in Final Cut Pro HELP ASAP!!!!

Heres my issue...
I created a little text animation in LiveType and then decided I wanted to bring it into FCP to put together with a company video I created as the intro. I rendered/exported it from LiveType and then took the final exported video and imported it into FCP. All I can say is, I am very frustrated, because the animation looks very good exported from livetype and in FCP when playing back on the timeline, but when I export it out of FCP, it looks awful and quality/size is all messed up. I made sure to set the canvas in LiveType to match 720p and tried every exporting size under the sun on FCP from 720, 720 16:9, even SD and other weird exporting features and I can not get it too look ok.
Then I tried just going into FCP and Importing just the Livetype file WITHOUT rendering it, and I till had the same issue.
Not sure if I am still mis-matching my settings and/or canvases within both programs, but all I know is I have tried many options and still no luck. If anyone would like to see screen shots, or actually compare video footage of what I am doing when Im exporting (using a screen capture program) let me know and I can email it to you and we can go back and forth to discuss and show images and what not. I really need to get this done for a client project and would help me if I had this answer soon.
Thanks!

Don't bother rendering a movie out of LiveType, simply save the project file and import it into FCP.
LiveType outputs in the Animation codec only, so you will always have to render. Using the project file has another advantage -right clicking and choosing "Open in Editor" will drop you back into LiveType where you can quickly make adjustments, save and return to FCP with the changes in place.
To set project properties, you can use the Place Background Movie function in LiveType. Drop a short clip in and it will automatically adjust the properties to match. You can delete it once you have the settings. If you have Anamorphic video, you will still need to adjust the pixel aspect ratio -exact settings depend on the format, you haven't told us that yet.
Again, depending on the format, you might have to set the Anamorphic flag in FCP's Item Properties for the LiveType file.
When you view the FCP export in QuickTime Player 7 (not QuickTime Player X) make sure that the High Quality Playback preference is selected.
Typefaces in video:
Avoid using small, thin, delicate and Serif typefaces. They never work well.
A well known example of a Serif font is Times, which you should avoid at all costs in any case -it makes it look like you made the titles in MS Word. Stick with San Serifs with clear, bold strokes. Helvetica is a popular example of a San Serif.
If your titles are white, reduce the brightness to around 90%. Apply a shadow or border to distinguish them from the background. While it might sound counter productive, applying a tiny amount of blur can help too.
One more thing: Don't put your email address in the body of your post. The forums are open to anyone who wants to read them and by extension, web bots. They will harvest the address and bombard it with spam. We don't do personal email on the forums anyway -we share information amongst all users.

Hi Jan,
Great work so far, how long has it taken those 2.39 GB of PageOuts to accumulate?
That is from last startup.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Provide Feedback for the Final Cut Pro User Manual and Onscreen Help Here

The Apple documentation team for Final Cut Pro would like to know what you think about the Final Cut Pro 5 Help documentation (available in the Help menu):
• How often do you use the Final Cut Pro Help? Under what circumstances do you use it most?
• How do you find what you're looking for in Final Cut Pro Help? For example: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
• What do you like about it most?
• What is missing?
• Are there any particular examples of manuals or documentation that you consider to be good models for the Final Cut Pro manual and onscreen help?
• By what method do you usually learn a new application? For example: provided tutorials and manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training classes?
• Did you use the Final Cut Pro Getting Started book to familiarize yourself with Final Cut Pro? If so, do you feel the book provided a good introduction to the application?
• What do you think is the most difficult feature/concept to grasp in Final Cut Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had with the Final Cut Pro documentation?
• Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
• Are there any other delivery methods or media you think we should explore?
• What size computer display do you typically use to view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch, 17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
• What resolution is the computer display set to when you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280 x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
• Do you use multiple computer displays?

• How often do you use the Final Cut Pro Help? Under
what circumstances do you use it most?
Often, I much prefer that to the Manual, though the Search function is very clunky. Search for Nest for example and you'll get about 50 listings for the table of contents and indexes alone, when all I would really want is the explanation of how to actually create a Nest.
• How do you find what you're looking for in Final
Cut Pro Help? For example: table of contents, index,
skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
Search.
• What do you like about it most?
Ease of use to get through the manual instead of going through the books themselves.
• What is missing?
Better organization of the search results. Again, if I search Nests, make the first set of results the answers that actually show me how to use the tool, not the 50 times it appears in the table of contents and indexes.
• Are there any particular examples of manuals or
documentation that you consider to be good models for
the Final Cut Pro manual and onscreen help?
Honestly, Apple's is the best I've seen for the moment.
• By what method do you usually learn a new
application? For example: provided tutorials and
manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training
classes?
Just crack the app open and start. Use websites like the Creative Cow for more input and ideas.
• Did you use the Final Cut Pro Getting Started book
to familiarize yourself with Final Cut Pro? If so, do
you feel the book provided a good introduction to the
application?
I thought the Tutorial that came with my first copy of FCP (Version 2.0) was outstanding at introducing me to the interface and how FCP operated. I came from Media 100 and in particular, the Log and Capture operation was completely different than what I was used to.
• What do you think is the most difficult
feature/concept to grasp in Final Cut Pro?
Media Manager. Not sure why it has to be so convoluted. Media 100 was too easy with this one. Select the Sequence to be up-rez'd, set your new format and capture.
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had
with the Final Cut Pro documentation?
Search results using the Help menu.
• Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
Actually both. If the electronic search gets too frustrating, I'll pull the print manual out to find what I really need.
• Are there any other delivery methods or media you
think we should explore?
Not really. Internet based help is always nice, but I don't keep my FCP workstations connected to the web so that would actually create a bigger hassle for us.
• What size computer display do you typically use to
view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch,
17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
17" Powerbook display, 17" 20" and 23" Apple Displays and a 17" Sony Display.
• What resolution is the computer display set to when
you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280
x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
Highest resolution for that monitor.
• Do you use multiple computer displays?
Yes. 23 & 17" on one G5. 20 & 17" on the 2nd G5. 17" Powerbook
Powerbook G4 17, G5 Dual 2.0, G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.5) AJA Kona 2 on both G5's, Fibre Channel and SATA arrays in use.

Iphoto stopped working,all i get now is spinning beach ball of death.help!

iphoto stopped working,all i get know is spinning beach ball of death.please help.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards
TD

Your VM processing shows that you are running too much stuff at once so getting a lot of swapping going on.
Previous to Yosemite not unusual to see page ins to virtual memory -- its when things are being paged in and out that too much stuff is trying to run at the same time.   If you were to upgrade to Yosemite - Yosemite kills processes that are not being used after a certain amount of time. Try loading less stuff at once.

Final cut pro 7 and AVCHD import ?

Just got Final Cut Pro 7 and I can't see wether or not that it is able to import natively Sony AVCHD video. I know its probably just me, so much there to see and learn.

Hi -
In FInal Cut Pro, go to the Help menu and open Final Cut Pro Help.
Once it is open, search for "Working with AVCHD".
The chapter will tell you all you need to know.

Final Cut Pro Constantly Trashes (Beach Ball ****)

Hello,
I'm running Final Cut Pro 7.0.1 with a Black Magic Intensity Pro card for monitoring.
Anytime I'm editing or playing back a sequence I get the spinning beach ball of **** that goes on indefinitely until I reboot.
Any insight would be very helpful.
Thanks!!!!!

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the replies so far!
We also edit DVCPRO HD. Which is the format we're currently editing and having the crashes. We've edited with DVCPRO and even REDCODE Raw fine off of external fw harddrives in the past fine. Is the bus the same for the fw ports on the front as well as back of the mac tower?
We moved the edit to a new workstation without the Intensity card but it's still crashing. No other peripherals attached. Drive is also formatted mac os extended.
Mmm...

Update the software. There is no reason to run a two year old version.

Final cut Spinning Beach Ball when i press spacebar to playback the sequenc

Hello,
We have 5 machines with xsan, final cut and open directory. On one only machine, when i playback secuences appears the spinning beach ball for 5 seconds before playing. The When i restar that machine, the final cut playback correctly again, but if i'm working with Final for 1 hour or 2, this happens again. I uninstall the final cut and reinstall it, and this still happening.
does anybody any idea about it?
thank for your time.

Anything about that particular workstation that sets it apart form the others? Installed software, background processes, attached hardware/peripherals? Does the issue happen regardless of the account being used?
Have you run any diagnostics on that machine? All the basic system troubleshooting steps taken? Eg Repaired permissions, Rebuilt with Disk Warrior (commercial product).
Have you done the usual step of trashing FCP preferences on that machine? On that front, you might also want to check out Jon Chappell's excellent FCS Maintenance Pack ( http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_maintenance.htm ) and FCS Maintenance Network Admin ( http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsm_netadmin.htm ).

When i open final cut pro x when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

Possible corrupted project or media fies. Here's what I'd suggest.
First trash preferences. If that doesn't work…
Move your Final Cut Projects folder into a folder named Hidden Folder. See if FCP then launches. If it doesn't hide your Final Cut Events folder. Once FCP launches successfuly, create a test event and project.
To track down the problem, successively move load events and projects from hideen to their proper location and open FCP. When and if you get the crash you have hopefully located the problem.
The easiest way to do this is to purchace Event Manager X ($5).
Good luck.
Russ
