HT5177 Why does Final Cut Pro X tell me mpg is supported, but wont recognize it when I try to import it from my files??!!

I am trying to import an mpg file and Final Cut Pro X wont recognize the file.. please help.
Final Cut Pro says it is a supported file, still wont recognize it!

Yeah depends on the source but generally MPG hasn't ever been supported in Final Cut Pro- as Tom says you want to convert it to ProRes elsewhere before bringing into FCP X.

  • Why does Final Cut Pro change my title's baseline after the first two titles when exporting a master file?

    Hey Guys,
    I want to use a Zoom title (Titles -> Build In/Out -> Zoom).  I only want the title, not a subtitle.  So I insert Zoom's everywhere, type in my stuff for Line 1, delete the contents of Line 2, format it (font, tracking, etc.).  Everything looks great in the Viewer.  I let it render, then export a Master – same as source.  I open the MOV, the first two titles are great.  Then every title thereafter looks like someone changed the position by 100 pixels south of its original location.
    Here's what I've done to troubleshoot it:
    Removed all Zoom's, inserted new ones, removed the contents of Line 2 and left Line 1 alone (i.e. it still reads "Title").  When I export, everything's fine.  The moment I change formatting or put in new copy in Line 1, same thing happens – every title changes position by 100 pixels down.
    Downloaded Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager, trashed pref's/
    I'm using a TTF with a bold type body only.  Figured I'd leave it at Gill Sans Bold.  Same thing happens as soon as I type something custom into Line 1.
    I had a text style saved and removed it.  (Which wasn't easy.  Solution here.)
    Has this ever happened to you?
    Thanks!

    Hey Jim,
    Thanks for the follow-up.  Here are some more details:
    OS - 10.8.2
    FCP X - 10.0.7
    I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
    Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project.  Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
    Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
    Here's my title style:
    Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
    And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
    Notice how it's pushed down?
    Then I decided to make a 720p project.  No more title problems.
    So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go.  Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
    Thanks!

  • Why does Final Cut Pro Crash at Start up?

    This is what console tells me is going wrong! Help what do i do!
    4/27/11 1:18:40 PM          Final Cut Pro[2867]          ProKit's NSWindow addition -setActiveAppearanceDuringRestore: has been deprecated and does nothing on SnowLeopard for apps linked on ProKit 5.x or later. Please remove this method call.

    Try searching for invisible files that are called ProKit, NSWindow, and combinations of those two. They should be in your Library or System folders, Maybe.
    But the larger questions we must have answered:
    Has FCP ever worked for you or ios this a new instalation, first time launch?
    Did you add any new software to your system since the last successful launch of FCP?

  • Why does final cut pro x dvd burn take so much time?

    I have been trying to nurn a DVD and upload to YOUTUBE with Final Cut Pro X .......I have done this with ease many times before but now a 6 minute video is taking 3 hours to load fpr a DVD burn and ove 2 hours for YOUTUBE upload..
    I have the energy saver off on ,y imac, and my internet is very high speed.....Help!  Thanks

    Looks as though nobody has any ideas and as you have not given any details of your Mac or FCP X workflow it's not surprising.
    For a start, without knowing any details, you could try trashing the preferences with

  • Why does Final Cut Pro X cost $350 in Australia

    when it costs US$299 in the USA and the Australian dollar is worth $1.06US dollars ?  Shouldn't Final Cut Pro X cost us $280 ??  A price discrepency such as this in a global economy MAY work (at least be partially explicable) with hardware, but I'm stuggling to understand how software delivered via the App Store has a $70 "Shipping Fee" attached !!!

    Weirdly, part of the price shows that Apple has confidence of the relative strength of the Australian economy. They need to set a price that makes sense for the next few years. They obviously think that the exchange rate will change significantly within the next decade. They want to keep the price consistent over the next few versions, which might take us to 2016.
    Sadly for your market, saying 'that's unfair' won't help. The markup in the UK vs. US (which requires as little customisation) was 25-40% for many years up until very recently. Apple will only reduce prices if they feel that a competitor will use a foreign market as a beachhead into their domestic market. That hasn't happened for the last 30 years, so I wouldn't hold my breath...

  • Why does Final Cut Pro X speed up my video that I imported?

    I have been having this problem off and on during my time using Final Cut since the summer of 2011 and it bugs me sometimes not know why the video always is retimed at a different speed once I import it to an event. I even tried to drag the file in and it still does the same thing. You might be asking "How do you know the video is faster?" Well, I record videos for my band and we do somewhat like music videos and we take shots of us playing our instruments while singing to the song. Anyways, what I do is try to sync up the song that we recorded to the video. But, this time once I tried it, the audio/video of the imported video was sped up compared to the song. I am very confused as to what to do. We reall need help because the deadline for the video is today and we need to have it ready. Thank you to anyone who replies and we hope that you can help us! Have a great day.

    The sync function allows you to sync a piece of separate audio to a video file with a scratch audio track. It uses the waveforms of the sound to sync this up. It will not do any speed changes necessary though.
    Multicam allows you to sync multiple takes or camera shots or angle together with a single auudio track. You can sync based on a number of different criteria.

    P.S. What's the original audio sample rate of your master recording? The Nikon should be shooting in 48k and that's what your playback track should be as well.

  • Why does Final Cut Pro hang on launch trying to read an event on a SAN?

    I've been going back and forth on a couple machines editing some video from a shared SAN, so I think that may have screwed something up. Has anyone encountered this? Is there anyway to get FCPX to just open (without having to eject the SAN?)

    That's what we have, too.  Right now, metaSAN doesn't block users from adding the same SAN definition, so corruption can occur.  For now, we add different SAN definitions for each client.
    You Add/Remove the San Definitions in the File Menu. 
    If you see the same definition on each machine, you are have the same defintion at each machine.  It usually looks like the name of the volume - then the folder you have assinged.  With SAN Definitions, you can assign it to any folder, not just the root level.

  • Why does final cut x not recognize the sharp PN- K321 monitor ( European version ) as output video monitor and premiere it? Working with two cinema display and PN- K321 and I can not preview the output video at 4K for DisplayPort, whereas with premie

    Why does final cut x not recognize the sharp PN- K321 monitor ( European version ) as output video monitor, and premiere yes?
    Working with two cinema display and PN- K321 and I can not preview the output video at 4K by DisplayPort, whereas with premiere and after effects I have no problems

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
    Patrick
    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

  • How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

    How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
    So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

    You don't need to render before export.
    Rendering is for playback.
    If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

  • Why is there no disc for Final Cut Pro X, is there one coming, and how do I transfer the program to a new machine from the download?  Thanks!

    Hello:
    Why is there no disc for Final Cut Pro X?
    Is there one coming?
    Can and how do I move the downloaded application from my old machine to a new computer?
    Thanks!

    You purchase FCX in the Mac App Store, there is no disc. You can reload past purchases under your account within the app store. You should also be regularly backing up your system

  • Does Final Cut Pro X Utilize Multiple GPUs if more than one is installed?

    For example, does Final Cut Pro X utltize both GPU's to help in rendering if you went with the two ATI Radeon 5770 option in a Mac Pro? Thanks for any help!
    Dan

    - NO - kind of but not really - take a class - watch some basic videos on you tube...
    - YES - multicam is excellent
    - YES - you can switch it off - but you probably won't when you get used to it - after about 5 days
    - YES - very much so in the browser where it counts
    - YES... I think.
    Really go watch some basic entry level FCP X vids - the answers are all there. I recommend watching the latest from 2014 on YouTube. There are plenty.

  • Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.

    Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.
    I know it works fine on my Macbook Pro, but considering getting an Air for travelling, and like to import and do some basic editing while away.
    Used to have a Macbook, and FCP wouldn't load on that.
    Understand the Air's limitations on disk size, but only wanting it as a travelling editor.
    Thanks

    "Traveling editor" could imply dedicated offlining. Shane, do you think that could work with a low rez ProRes codec?
    I don't think anyone has tried to use an AirBook for FCP. Anyone bother to search?
