Importing LiveType Problems

The DVD Tutorial makes importing LiveType projects look easy but I'm having trouble with my first project.
When I import, it does so without the background I've been using. Then, when I try and insert it into the timeline it gives me a pop up that says "Insufficient content", or some such.
Wondering if this is because my LiveType content is on a separate hard drive than my main one. Otherwise, I have no idea why this is not working.
Thanks

Welcome to the family.
When I import, it does so without the background I've been using. <</div>
You must tell LT to include the background. It's a project preference or project setting. If your background is below the separator, you must tell LT to include it. It's easier if you render out your background as a separate movie (or a separate project) and bring it into FCP on its own. That way you have independent control over the timing and positioning.
Then, when I try and insert it into the timeline it gives me a pop up that says "Insufficient content", or some such.< </div>
That's usually only if you're trying to put between two clips or trying to replace a clip with your .ipr clip. Try just placing it manually on an open trakc. Should work.
Wondering if this is because my LiveType content is on a separate hard drive than my main one. < </div>
Nope, that should not affect LT's import or placement in FCP.

  • HELP! FCP won't import LiveType files

    So suddenly today, right after I rebooted from iTunes and QuickTime upgrades, whenever I try to import LiveType files into Final Cut Pro (HD 4.5 on OSX 10.3.9) FCP completely shutss down... any ideas?

    Qt 7.3 > is causing all sorts of problems.
    Although testing things is always advisable before getting into conclusions, chances are that the cause of your problems might be QT 7.3.
    Just one thread out of dozens to read:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6103436&#6103436
    Now, it is being said that the only solution is to wipe the system hard drive and reinstall everything.
    An alternative way (not widely tested) is explained in this other forum:

    PS. Not sure QT 7.3 would work great with your OS version anyway!

  • Quality of imported LiveType .movs

    Why is imported LiveType low quality when I input into FCE, when it is fine before importing and opening it in quicktime. It goes really grainy once it is placed into my sequence? Have I got the settings wrong. I chose the Apple Int. Codec and  HDV1080i, which is the same FCE is set to. Also, I noticed that the imported livetype is 4:3, how do I make it 16:9? Thanks

    Ok, I think I just fixed it, I just changed the export setting from the Apple codec to H.264 and that seemed to work

  • I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware).  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
    For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths.  For example:
    Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content. 
    It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
    file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad.  In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
    Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result.  Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
    I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind.  The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

  • FCP HD won't import Livetype files

    Hello, I am running FCP 4.5 and I am trying to import Livetype files but it says it can't import the files. How do I fix this?

    Sheesh, now you tell us.

    Sorry bogiesan! <
    Thanks, I get impatient with incomplete posts. We could have gone down lots of weird and totally useless pathways looking for answers that don't apply to your situation.
    <div class="jive-quote">Hoffman: How did you "restore" your computer?< </div>
    Here's the question you need to answer in some depth. We need to what you did and, if possible, why. On the reinstallation of FCS, the enabler files probably went to the shared users library or to another user. Start rooting around for fcp-related .plist files using Spotlight and eventually you will locate something that looks interesting.

  • Importing tga problem

    I have several targa image sequences from a client. FCP (6.0.5) will import some but not others. The only difference I can find is that under "kind" in the get info window some are "tga image" and the others are "adobe photoshop targa file". The latter imports no problem, while the former give an error: "File Error 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or have run into this issue?
    FWIW, I checked the fils in photoshop and they all have the same modes. They also all have the same file sequence naming structure.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Actually forgot to explain that the error I mentioned above occurs when I try to import just 1 of the targa files individually. If I try to import a sequence the number of errors changes to match the number of targas in the sequence. Sorry about the miscommunication. For the record, there are no other files inside the sequence folder(s) - just the targas.
    Still haven't figured this out yet. Shake, Nuke, After Effects, Photoshop all open/import the files, but FCP will not.

  • Importing liveType project into Final Cut Express HD

    Hi
    When i try to import my Livetype project into FCE an file error pops up with the message "File error: 0 files, 0 acces denied, 1 unknown" In this directory there is only one file with the projectname en de extension ipr.
    Those anyone know what the problem is ?
    Thanks in advance

    I encountered the same problem. When I first installed this program I did not install all of it. I went back and installed live type and soundtrack after he fact. Then I started receiving the same error message.
    I reinstalled the entire program at one time and now I do not receive that error message. I hope that helps.

  • Trouble importing LiveType into FCE

    I am trying LiveType for the first time with my video. I have created the file in LiveType and then tried to import it into FCE. When I view the background in the viewer it looks great. When I drag it to my movie and try Insert I get an error that says "Edit Operation had no effect. Check the target tracks. You may need to open the source clip into the viewer in order to see all of the target tracks". It doesn't add it to my timeline. I can drag it to the timeline, but when I preview the video it says unrendered as it plays. It has the red line in the bar above it and everything else in my video is green. I have rendered the video in LiveType and also just tried the LiveType file...
    Anyone have any advice? I am sure this is something simple...
    Thanks for your help!!

    Appears to be a problem in LiveType and FCE as of Leopard.
    LiveType files created BEFORE Leopard was installed import fine, but files created AFTER Leopard was installed will not import and return an error:
    File Error. 1 File Recognized. 0 Access Denied. 1 file unknown.
    Live Type files that are rendered as movies are importable and that is the workaround. But of course they cannot be edited again unless the Live Type file is reopened and re-rendered.
    IOW, no import of a Live Type file directly into FCE.
    Pro apps download doesn't appear to apply to FCE and you need a FCP serial # to access it anyway.
    All suggestions appreciated.

    What format is the hard drive where the live type file is located, ms-dos?
    If so, the drive should be reformatted to Mac OS Extended.
    You will lose all material on the drive when it is reformatted.

  • FCP importing LiveType movie at incorrect frame rate

    Hi all...working at a client, using OS10.4.8, FCP 4.5, PowerPC dual 2.5...
    My problem...I'm exporting a movie from LiveType...a simple moving background. I know nothing about LiveType, all I'm doing is selecting "Export Movie" and selecting a video only DV/DVCPRO NTSC 720x480 29.97 export, and exporting.
    The movie appears to export fine. When I open it up in Quicktime player and check the properties, sure enough, it's a DV movie 720x480 running at 29.97.
    When I import it into FCP, however, FCP insists that it is a DV NTSC movie - running at 25 fps.
    Ya know, is there some sort of little chromium switch I forgot to throw before importing? Is this a toss prefs and re-import problem? Or should I just go into the hotel-motel mismanagement business?

    No. Like I said, I'm a LiveType ignoramus.
    I'll be back there next Wednesday, and I will attempt this.

  • Importing LiveType project into Final Cut Express HD 3.5

    I lost on how to import the livetype project into fce HD 3.5. When I do import it, i get ready to superimpose it over a scene in my movie, and a note comes up and says (insuffciant......something) what am i doing wrong?

    I'm assuming you are able to import the LT project into the FCE project and can see it listed in your FCE browser.
    Trying simply dragging the file directly from the browser to an empty video track (should be a top/upper level track..not track 1)in the sequence's timeline and place at the point/time/place you want it to appear in the sequence.
    You don't have to use the Canvas insert or overlay commands to get the LT project into the timeline.

  • Import purchase - problem with delivery costs

    Hi guys,
    In case of import purchase, we are normally giving 3 to 4 types of delivery costs (like freight,agency charges etc).  If there is no transaction done against the PO, we are able to either change or add new delivery cost to the Purchase Order.  But if we try to make changes or add one more condition type (related to delivery cost), after preparing inbound delivery/goods receipt against the PO, it is not allowing.  Do we need to make any configuratin changes for this to happen.
    Please suggest us the way out for this problem.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi ,
    No , you won't be able to make any changes specially to the said condition .

  • Directory Server 6.2 upgrade to 6.3: import LDIF problem

    Hi all,
    I have tried upgrading my Directory Server 6.2 to version 6.3 because of the database integrity issues as stated in:
    http://blogs.sun.com/dsee/entry/directory_server_6_2_database
    I have followed the steps defined in this article:
    1. Shut down each directory server instance, as described in Starting, Stopping, and Restarting a Directory Server Instance.
    2. Perform an LDIF export of the database, as described in Backing Up to LDIF.
    3. Install the hotfix for bug 6642430 on Directory Server 6.2, or upgrade your Directory Server 6.2 instance to Directory Server 6.3 once Directory Server 6.3 is available for download (early April). You will need to login to Sunsolve in order to see this bug description.
    But when importing the LDIF export, I got the following error:
    [17/Dec/2008:14:44:08 +0100] - import ec: WARNING: Skipping entry "sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalServerInstanceMonitoringID=Monitoring,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalServerInstanceID=sol10portal-80,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalID=portal1,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainID=defaultDomain,o=example" whichIt's the only information I get about why the entry was skipped (I did not forget to copy the part after 'which', there was no information there :-))
    This resulted in a missing Portal instance configuration and thus I got a 'configuration error' when surfing through the gateway to the portal.
    I have also tried: manually importing that entry, which resulted in a 'Object does not exist' error. I have tried copying the whole tree from another backup with identical setup, which wasn't working either.
    Did anyone experience the same problems before? Did I do something wrong or is there a workaround for this?
    Second question: What is the exact reason why a export and import is necessary? Or is it only necessary if the database is already corrupt? Is there a way to check that?
    Thanks alot!
    Sten

    The entry was not imported most likely because it's parent isn't in the database yet. Are entries above this in another backend ? If so try importing that backend first. Also, that dn is so long, that it exhausted the buffer which is used to write messages in the access log. This is why, there's nothing after "which".
    What is the exact reason why a export and import is necessary? Or is it only necessary if
    the database is already corrupt? Is there a way to check that?The database corruption could be silent. So a binary backup/restore when going from 6.2 to 6.3 is not recommended and the LDIF route must be used.

  • Problem related to OSS Note - importing file problem

    Hi,
    I m facing an issue while implenting an oss note 430580 , i have to import files from sapserver.
    but i don't know how to do it.
    below is the description of my problem.
    Import the following files from SAPSERV:
    /general/R3server/abap/note.0430580/K000687.PLM
    /general/R3server/abap/note.0430580/R000687.PLM
    Import the two files into your system.
    For more information on SAPSERV, see Note 13719.
    Can any one tell me how can i get rid out of this prioblem.
    whether this is possible or BASIS Team can only do this.
    system details
    Operating system     SunOS
    Machine type         sun4u
    R/3 release 4.6C

    Well, these files are part of the zip.file which belong to the note. This is part of a regular transport and is normally done be basis. The data and the cofile (K....PLM & R...PLM) should be imported into your system. Before doing so they have to be transferred to the file server. Better let BASIS do these kind of things.
