Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?

  • I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

    Hello everyone
    I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
    And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
    Hope you guys can help me!

    You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

  • Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable?

    Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable? I bought it about four or five years ago and never started learning it, but would like to start learning editing now. Thanks.

    That is the version I have. What formats can I work with in FCP 5.1. For example, can I edit movies from my Nikon Coolpix 7900 point and shoot that is about five years old? My Panasonic DV camera that is also about five or six years old? Will I be able to burn these types of footage to disc once edited and watch them on a DVD player. Thanks for your former replies.

  • Is OS X Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 and Digital Performer 6.02

    I'm currently running OS X 10.6.8 and my Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 and Digiital Performer 6.02 work fine. 
    I want to upgrade to OS X Lion to take advantage of iCloud but I do not want to have to upgrade the FCP or DP programs.
    Are my current versions compatible with OS X Lion?
    Thanks,

  • Is my issue with Final Cut Pro or my Macbook pro?

    I'm going to try to be as thorough as possible in explaining my situation because I can't figure this problem out and it's exhausting me. I have an early 2011 macbook pro with the 2.2 ghz processor. I upgraded to 16gb of ram almost a year ago. I've been using Final Cut Pro 7 on this computer for several years now without issue and have made no setting changes that would prompt my problems. A few months ago my battery decided to stop holding a charge and now just registers 0%. Around the same time, while editing a short video my computer began behaving like it was overheating. It would crash, restart, crash and then restart again. After I did a disk and permissions repair it began to work normally again and I haven't had any more crashing issues. Around this period of time I began noticing that when my computer turns on it doesn't register the correct time and date. Given a few moments it corrects itself, but for some strange reason it was doing that every time.
    Anyway, around that time I tried to upgrade to Mavericks and experienced an issue during installation because my hard drive was apparently damaged in some way and the installation couldn't be completed. I restored my previous OS and tried to carry on as I was with the damaged hard drive for as long as I could. I was still able to do everything I needed on the computer. I could still edit videos with Final Cut. I could still browse the internet. I could still stream Netflix.
    About a month ago Final Cut stopped working. I could open the program, start a new project and import media files, but when I dragged them into the timeline, they just stuttered (audio would play but video would lag and then jump several frames then lag and jump frames). At the time I assumed this was because my hard drive finally gave up, but I was still able to do other functions like browse the internet and stream basketball games with nba league pass (granted they weren't crisp hd - on a side note, netflix was also behaving oddly. when I would browse through my list, it wouldn't stop scrolling when I moved the mouse away.) so I assumed the hard drive was my issue.
    I just replaced my hard drive with an ssd (crucial m500) and upgraded to mavericks (10.9.1) and now I am having the same issues. Netflix behaves fine. Basketball games stream fine. My battery is still dead (obviously that wasn't going to change). I get the wrong date and time for a minute, but I'm thinking that's battery related now. But Final Cut still lags to the point where I can't use it. Video clips also won't render. I thought this might be an issue with the Final Cut program so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still did the same thing. Assuming I hadn't correctly/completely uninstalled it, I downloaded HitFilm 2 (an editing program that had a free download promotion at the time), figuring using a different program, if i could edit video with it, then my issue is with Final Cut and not my computer. Unfortunaely, I'm having the same lagging issues with HitFilm as I was with Final Cut.
    I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Sorry if this was a rambling post, but I wanted to get as much of the background out there as possible, should it provides anyone with a clue as to what is the issue here. Does anyone have any idea what could be at fault here? I'm stumped.

  • Issue with Final Cut Pro 7 and Maverick OS.

    I wanted to know if anyone was having issues with the new OS X 10.9.4 and Final Cut Pro 7 Studio? Are there any other solution other than purchasing new editing software?

    I have FCP 7 running successfully on Mavericks 10.9.4 - although I mainly use Premiere Pro/Adobe CC now.

  • Exporting issues with Final Cut Pro X

    I have been working on the project for a few weeks now and it's been working fine till today, Im trying to export several clips from the same footage that was divided into seperate project files and every time I try to share it gives me an error message with a frame number. I've seen other people are having the same issue but none of their solutions worked - the frame number is different everytime, I dissabled all effects and I tried copying and pasting the sequince into a new project file but that didn't work either.

    i only can speek for my situation
    PROCESSOR 2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
    MEMORY 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    FLASH STORAGE 512GB Flash Storage & mavericks mit eingeschaltetem app nap
    i do not have a bad frames within my original file or project and a new user account was also not necessary,
    but deactivation of APP NAPP was at least 2 times a solution. under mavericks i could export for the first time with no error
    thanks for the tip!!

  • Can not turn on the AV Output with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 and IOS 10,2,9, Who can help me

    Non riesco a attivare A/V Output con Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 e Mavericch 10.9.2

    First, Mavericks is an OS X version, not an iOS version.  iOS is for mobile devices, OS X is for Macs.
    Second, what is the specific input/output device your Mac is using for A/V Output to access?
    Have you gone into the Preferences, into the Playback section, and in the "A/V Ouput" menu, what device A/V Output is suppoed to use?  Then, go to the Window menu and turn on A/V Output.
    If none of that works, you have a compatability issue.  Verify with the manufacturer you have the latest drivers, and that it is compatible with OS X Mavericks 10.2.9 and FCPX 10.1.1.

  • Import issues with Final Cut Express HD

    I shot video with a Nikon AW100 and made a quick video and everything worked fine.
    The next day, I tried importing more clips for another video and it crashed every time. No settings were changed on the camera or software.
    I trashed Final Cut, reinstalled it and got the same issue.
    I installed it on another Mac with the same problem there as well.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    Some info, please ...
    What versions of OS X and FCE are you using?   Exactly what model Mac are you using?
    What settings did you use in your camera when you shot the video that worked?  That didn't work?
    What Easy Setup are you using in FCE?
    A few things that may be contributing factors ...
    Only FCE 4.01 on an Intel Mac supports AVCHD video
    However your camera (the AW100) may not exactly be an AVCHD camera ...  it shoots MPEG4/AVC H.264 which is not quite the same as AVCHD
    FCE does not work with H.264 video; the video needs to be transcoded to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec to be used in FCE (before being imported into FCE)
    Two of the shooting modes in the AW100 are not supported in FCE:  1080p and iFrame

  • Docking Issue with Final Cut Pro 6

    I have an issue while docking FCP6 to work in another app. FCP will not undock and I am having to force quit every time I dock it.

    As David already said -the question has been posted here dozens of times and no-one has a solution.
    You have Mac OS X 10.6.2 according to the info under your message. Go to System Preferences and activate Spaces -it's a much more elegant way of working.

  • Does compressor 4 work with final cut pro 7?

    does compressor 4 work with final cut pro 7?

    Russ H wrote:
    WHile I'm not 100% certain (this has come up before and It's not convenient to test), I believe that purchasing Compressor will also allow you add additional codecs to your QT library.
    Russ
    Yes, Compressor adds several codecs, which can also be used in FCE (decoding and encoding using QuickTime Conversion) and in QuickTime player. Most notably these are MPEG-2 and ProRes. The latter is an editing-friendly Intraframe-Codec useful for preprocessing stuff for importing clips to FCE, particularly if it has a different framerate from the FCE project.
    I'm also still using FCE 3.5(*) and the "Export using Compressor" menu option remains grayed out, which is a pity, but the new codecs can still be used. I mostly use it to make stuff for DVDs, using my ancient and cumbersome iDVD.
    (*) It really works on Lion, provided you have installed it on a previous Mac OS release and then migrated or upgraded to Lion: the installer is a PowerPC program, but the installed program is Universal and works fine and very stable. If you already have Lion, and no older (Snow) Leopard machine, it's going to be more of a challenge, since the Lion kernel no longer supports PowerPC binaries, so Rosetta won't work.

  • Compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro

    I'm getting ready to edit a project and I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. I've never used Express put I assume I would be able to make cuts, simple effects and titles. Is this correct.
    If I transfer project files from one platform to the other will i run into any issues?
    Thanks for all and any help.

    {quote}
    Although they operate in a similar fashion that are not fully compatible. You can open a FCE project in FCP, but once you've edited it in FCP you can't go back to FCE.

  • Import movie from final cut pro x in pinnacle studio ?

    today i make movies with pinnacle studio (windows)
    i have pc with blu ray burner in pc (built in)
    i would like to buy mac with final cut pro x
    is it possible to make movie (high definition) in finacl cut pro x and export to a format which can be imported in pinnacle studio (version 14) without loss of quality
    then i would like to burn blu ray on my pc with pinnacle studio
    so : make movie with mac and burn HD movie on pc ?

    It'd be easier to get Toast 11 Pro and author/burn Blu Ray on your Mac.
    BUT, that's extra money you may not want to spend.
    Pinnecle, does it import XML files?  Well, that may not work anyway.
    You'll have to export a QT movie in FCP X that Pinnacle will read.

  • Is the Canon Legria HF M56 compatible with Final Cut Pro X

    I am new to Mac and new to Final Cut Pro X. I am looking to buy a new HD Video Camcorder to use with my new computer/software and wondered whether or not the Canon Legria HF M56 is compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
    If it is, do you have to import the footage directly from the Camcorder, or can you first save the files to the Mac and import them that way?
    I currently use a Sony HandyCam HDR-SR10 which produces AVCHD .mts files. I have these saved on my Mac after transferring them over from my PC but Final Cut Pro X cannot import them. Very frustrating for a professional app to be unable to import these files. Even Cyberlink Power Director can use these files.
    Thanks for your help
