I keep receiving the warning about dropped frames? How do I fix it?

I have already changed it off of Unlimited RT.

You can just turn it off. That warning simply means that FCP can't call the frames up and/or apply the effects (if any) fast enough to play the timeline in 100% real time. So it drops some frames while playing the timeline back at play speed.
This is only an issue if you are playing out the timeline to tape, if not, and you are going to output the timeline as a file - then you don't need to to worry about it.
Final Cut will just do its best to show as many frames as it can as it plays, but when you export the timeline, all the frames will be exported.
The warning is a legacy warning from the days of videotape. You can switch it off by unchecking the warn next time box, or going the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences and on the General Tab, uncheck the box for "report dropped frames during playback".
Having said all that, it looks like you are working with camera files that H.264 or variants, is this correct?
You should convert all the footage to ProRes and then edit on a ProRes timeline. H.264 footage is problematic in FCP-7.

  • I am constantly receiving the following message...how do I fix this?

    Even though I have done what it's asked me to do, I get prompted to install the Java Runtime Environment probably 20 times a day. I usually just click OK and forget about it. However, I'd now like it to stop. This is the prompt I receive:
    Even though I've installed this JRE a couple times, I still get the prompt. I believe this started when I installed Yosemite.
    What do I do?

    Most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple, such as the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it, including its automatic update mechanism (if any) according to the developer's instructions. Otherwise, install Java.

    Hi Poonam26c,
    If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

    i clicked the download all button at the end of the list of my library iTunes which i believe is in the iCloud, i have iTunes match also, many downloads were reported as occurring over several hours and then received the warning startup disc is full (activity monitor shows 3.99 of 4 GB used) and then another stating the download had not occurred due to the disc being full. most of the tunes still appear to be in the cloud but the disc is said to be full, spent a good period of time trying to investigate what has happened but failed...I'm not well up on all of this as an old chap so any help would be wonderful.....

    Thanks Michael, what is the best way of backing up, should buy a cheap standalone external hard drive rather than relying on the Time Capsule which is quite sensitive...
    If you read the link I provided you'll get an idea of one way to maintain a backup of your music files, use Time Machine, and not take up as much room on the internal HDD/SSD.

    i live in the Scottish Highlands where Broadband is frequently intermittent disrupting backups.
    Your internet connection speed has no effect on Time Machine/Time Capsule backups. Since that is all done locally, over your wireless network you actually do not need an internet connection at all.

    Also I wondered if I could increase the memory on the setup disk by replacing the 4GB card already in the MBP with 16GB cards, if I upgraded would that affect anything I have stored already like my iTunes?
    You're asking about the computer's RAM. Increasing that will not increase the size of the internal storage available to the computer. You'd need to replace the HDD/SSD of the Mac, which, depending on what model you have may or may not be possible (with new models of Macs).

  • How do I read the number of dropped frames in a 1394 session?

    I'm using a C program to acquire image data using the imaq1394 library. I am dropping frames at 30FPS and want to use the imaq1394GetAttributes call with the IMG1394_ATTR_LOST_BUFFER_NB parameter to read the number of dropped frames. I am doing this at the end of the acquisition before the camera is closed. The value always comes back as 0. What is wrong? Here is the line that makes the call:
    imaq1394GetAttribute(Sid, IMG1394_ATTR_LOST_BUFFER_NB, (unsigned long *) &lDroppedFrames);
    Thanks in advance...

    Hello spcmicro,
    Thank you for the email.
    For the IMAQ 1394 driver (version 1.0), the lost buffer attribute does not work properly.
    - The issue is not known to the developer lead, and it will be investigated for the next release of the IMAQ 1394 driver.
    Please let me know if you have any additional questions,

  • I am trying to update iTunes and keep receiving the message "The folder path "My Music" contains an invalid character

    I am trying to update iTunes and keep receiving the message "The folder path "My Music" contains an invalid character.
    The folder where everything is stored isnt even called My Music, it is just called Music.
    I gave up on trying to update my itunes and removed it and am trying to re-download but receive the same message. Now I have no itunes on my computer at all.
    Short or wiping my computer and starting again I have no ideas left.
    Please help!

    That message isn't referring to the location of the music, it's referring to the location of the iTunes programme.
    So the message is either referring to the download location or the folder it is trying to install the programme in. I think (I wouldn't put money on this) that invalid characters will be things such as * ^ % and so on. When you get the message, look for the location that your computer is trying to use. Are there any strange characters in the "file path" that your computer is using?

    Hi all,
    There is a messageChoice on the page,and the messageChoice must fire an action.But if the action is fired,then I click on the other tab or link, warning about changes message will not occur and directly farward to the other page.Is that possible that popup the warning about changes message after the messageChoice's event was fired ?

    Hi..
    Assuming you are using Safari ...
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Make sure to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

    There's no 3.6.18, so there appears to be a glitch in the update checking. Or the message is not really from Firefox (malware site).

  • Cannot connect airport express to ipad I keep receiving the message: "an unexpected error occurred" when I try to connect my Ipad to my airport express.  Does anyone have a solution?

    cannot connect airport express to ipad
    I keep receiving the message: "an unexpected error occurred" when I try to connect my Ipad to my airport express.  Does anyone have a solution?

    I could not "see" my Express via my wireless router or via the Airport Utility until I reset it to Factory Settings by unplugging it then holding in the tiny reset button while plugging it back in, waiting for the flashing yellow LED signal before letting go.
    Then I set it up to DHCP - "connect to wireless network" and DOWNGRADED the firmware to 7.3.x
    I would tell you the exact Firmware but I can no longer "see" the Airport express............ AGAIN or still.....
    BUT at least I am listening to music streaming from my MacBook Pro... Hmmm.
    I log back into the router (Linksys WRT110) and it no longer shows the Airport Express as a DHCP client AND the Airport utility can no longer "find" any Airport Devices..
    So if I don't move, or there are no cosmic events, or maybe my KARMA is effecting the device or my "VIBES" are good, but I'm not sure if will continue to work.. Sure would like to use this little device from hel*.
    Since I have had this Airport Express I have spent many hours trying to get it to work.
    It works just long enough to fool me and then takes a dump...
    Maybe this time?
    5 Minute later...
    Music was playing. I went into iTunes and switched from Airtunes to Computer speakers. When I tried to switch it back GUESS WHAT?
    [An unknown error (-15006) occurred while trying to connect to remote speaker "Airtunes"]
    Wonderful Green LED though. Totally useless piece of equipment AFAIK.
