Installation errors with final cut 5

I just bought final cut studio 5 and I have no problem with the final cut studio installation cd but when it asks for the other cd's (apple loops, motion, dvd studio etc.) my cd drive pops the cd's out after a couple of seconds. It sounds like its trying to read the cd's but it can't please please help me! I am so frustrated.

I Have just sent this info to apple as well. I'm running a 2.8 8 core Macpro with 6 Gigs of RAM. OS is Leopard 10.5.8 Finalcut studio 3 specificaly Color 1.5. I was working with HDV 1280x720p @29.97fps
The footage was assembled and captured in final cut 7.0 and not altered in any significant way. No pans zooms or any effects. It was then sent to color for color correction and gamma stylization.
upon completion it was rendered and sent to Final cut. When reviewing the sequence I discovered black frames at the end of several clips. This is a music video for a country artist. So baking shots has no bearing on this. There are no effects shot that went to color. This is clearly a Color issue. I am not new at this. I have been doing color grading for some ten years or so and using COLOR for almost three years. This is the first time I've encountered this problem and only since installing FCS3 with Color 1.5.

  • Installation Problem with Final Cut Pro X Training Disc

    How do I allow read/write permissions with the sparseimage final cut pro X apple pro training series disc?  I can't copy the project files to my desktop.

    Thanks for the response.  I'm not quite sure I understand.  I can't copy the file anywhere:  The Desktop, HD, Even an external hard disk due to (Error-36) which has something to do with the read/write permissions.  I've checked my disk and I'm listed as the administrator with both of these privileges.  I can't seem to get read/write from the DVD itself. It's most confusing!!!!!!  I'm able to download all other kinds of video from my external sources, but I can't seem to get an uncorrupted file into FCPX.

    so was the material captured with "device control" with logging or did you use "capture now." If you used "capture now" you might try exporting the clip (or just the section you need as a selfcontained quicktime with the same settings and then bringing that file into fcp and applying the speed change to that clip.

  • Hard Disk Error with Final Cut Pro

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can help out. I recently upgraded to the latest version of FC Studio. I'm going into FC Pro to start a new project, and I'm using a scratch disk I have always used in the past, and I'm suddenly now getting the following error that pops up when I set FC Pro to this scratch disk:
    The selected disk is formatted using FAT32 which has a 4GB file size limit. Using it as a scratch disk will lead to unpredictable behavior when using or creating larger files.
    Can someone explain? Is there something I need to do?
    Thanks!

    Wow, I never knew that FCP checked the format of the scratch disks!
    What a great idea.
    As Nick pointed out, you need to reformat (Erase in Disk Utility speak) the drive and set the format to MacOS Extended if you don't want issues.
    Be warned that Erasing (aka reformatting) the drive will delete all material on the disk. Anything you want to save needs to be moved to another drive first.
    Good luck,

    Hello:
    I am very much a novice with Final Cut.  I am trying to import some video files from  my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error  1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".  The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1).  Can someone help?  Thanks, Paul

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

  • Error messages during editing with Final Cut Pro

    Hello,
    I am working with Final Cut Pro for the first time, editing my first indie movie project. The software normally works fine and when I started this project it ran fine for a while. But the software is now operating increasingly slow, to the point where it won't let me advance frame by frame. And I am getting several error icons popping up in the viewer window and the clip window to the right and I don't know what they mean. One of the icons is a little yellow triangle with a black exclamation point in the middle. Another is a little whi circle with a black letter x in the center. Another is a small green circle with a check in it. Does anyone know what any of this means? Could I be out of ram on the hardrive? I noticed that the changes occurred as soon as I did ctrl + z to undo an edit - it went haywire right after that. I would greatly appreciate any tips, thoughts, suggestions. Thank you.

    Slow performance can come from a number of different things. Without knowing more detailed information about your setup or workflow, it's difficult to accurately troubleshoot.
    -What kind of Mac are you using?
    -What is your source format?
    -Where is your source footage located?

  • CS4 Production Pro installation with Final Cut on same drive (mac)

    Can the CS4 suite be installed and coexist with Final Cut Suite (not Final Cut X) on the same hard drive with mac os? Do not plan to open FCS apps while I am working on a project in CS4.  Just want to see if I like the CS4 suite to make the transition from Final Cut Suite.
    Will there be conflicts, bottlenecks, etc. 
    Thanks in advance.

    no, I know that final cut pro 4 wont run on the macbook pro. I am wondering about the media files, capture scartch, quicktime etc. If I have final cut pro 5 on the macbook pro will it recognise those files and update them? Not the application itself but the files from the media created.
    Basically I have projects I made in final cut 4 on the old system, that I want to work on in final cut 5 on the mac book pro. How do I do that?
    sorry for being unclear.

  • Problems with Final Cut Pro HD 4.5

    Hi gang
    I posted something similar a few weeks ago about this problem, and since then, my problem has only gotten worse. Here's the basics: I'm using FCP HD 4.5 on a MacBook (apparently that's trouble right there.) I did the thing where you change something in the properties to get around the required video card. So the program works, right? Sure.
    I shot some video on a Cannon XL-2 (which I thought was Hi-Def, but apparently it's not.) The camera was rented, so I obviously don't have it anymore. I have been trying to import the video on to my laptop, via an external hard drive (like 30GB) using a Sony Handycam (borrowed from my office.)
    The first problem was that there was no audio on the tapes shot on the XL. I'm going to go ahead and say that some how....that was my fault. Not sure how, but I'll take the blame. Now, I'm trying to import this silent footage, and I keep running into a problem, and that problem is this: the important stops after a few seconds, and there's a message about how there is some kind of error on the tape. This is super frustrating, and I think when I was working on this the other night, the tape eventually just stopped showing video, even though something is obviously there.
    Now, here's a few questions. Is it because I'm using a somewhat small external hard drive that may not have enough space on it to keep processing the video? Is it because I'm using a different camera to try and get this video? Should I try using another Cannon, or should I go as far as to track down another XL-2 to rent? Is it something wrong with Final Cut? Some setting or something?
    If someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

    The XL-2 does not shoot 'High Def". It records DV in either 4:3 or 16:9 anamorphic formats.
    Here's my standard "so you are using a Canon camcorder to capture and it isn't working" routine:
    Not all Canon cameras have connection issues, but hanging around this site I've come to recognize their ability to connect in FCP is the most problematic of all the camera brands. If you have a Canon camcorder, and can not get it to connect up with FCP, the following is a way to sort through the issues and get it to work. Some are elegant - some are ugly.
    Before we go any farther
    -you should be using 'Firewire Basic' as the control protocol. If you aren't, go change it and try again.
    -Also, verify that you have a solid installation of Quicktime. You may want to reinstall it using the 'delete receipts' method. Do a quick search here on the site - it is mentioned daily if not hourly.
    With some confidence that the software installation and camera settings are correct and it still won't capture correctly, you are most likely a victim of the dread 'Canon firewire bus incompatibility problem'. Simply stated: Canon cameras do not play well with other devices on the same firewire bus. And, since all the firewire ports on a Mac connect to one bus - well - you get the picture.
    The most direct solution is to purchase another, non-Canon device to use as your capturing machine. The Sony DSR-11 is highly recommended for DV work. A deck will save wear and tear on the camera's lightweight drive mechanism and will allow you to permanently connect a NTSC/PAL monitor for proper viewing. (If you are working with HDV, you will have other issues ...)
    Beyond replacing your tape playback device, the path you take depends on the model of computer you own.
    1. If you have a G5 tower or a MacPro, capture to a second internal drive with only the camera attached. If you need to move material to firewire drive, disconnect the camera. A second internal drive is quite inexpensive these days if you do not already have one.
    2. If you have a G5 tower (PCI) MacPro (PCI), G4 powerbook (PCMCIA) or MacBookPro (Expresscard 34) with an available slot, purchase the appropriate firewire card for the slot. Connect your camera to the card and you should be good to go. The new card creates a unique bus and will avoid collisions with the external drives.
    3. If you do not have a slot or a second internal drive and you are stuck with the camera, welcome to the camera/drive shuffle.
    - shut down and remove the external hard drive(s) from the system
    - connect the camera directly to the firewire port of the computer
    - start the camera then the computer
    - capture to your internal (system) hard drive
    - shut down the camera and computer
    - disconnect the camera and reconnect the external hard drive(s)
    - start hard drive(s) and computer
    - move captured files to external hard drive(s)
    - edit
    If you output back to tape or wish to view your work on an external Video (NTSC or PAL) monitor, you need to set up the camera to use the firewire out as the A/DV converter or VTR - which means reversing the steps:
    - copy the file back to the internal drive
    - shut everything down
    - disconnect the external drive(s)
    - connect the camera to the firewire port (and the TV to the camera if needed)
    - start the camera then the computer
    - play the file.
    One caveat here - You may have difficulty getting the file back to tape without dropping frames. Playing files off of the system drive is very demanding and they may have a hard time keeping up.
    All in all, if you do not have the option for second bus (i.e. iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, MacBooks) you may want to think about a computer with expandable options next time.
    There is the option of capturing using iMovie, but that brings on it's own set of problems and is not recommended.
    Good luck.

  • 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.

  • Error Messge: Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a CPU type of G5

    I recently updated my OS to 10.5.8. I also downloaded AVID codec for quicktime. Then, when I went to open FCP on my MacBook Pro (2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), I was hit with the error message Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a CPU type G5; this system has a CPU type of G4. I've never had a problem running FCP on this laptop. Any suggestions? Help!

    Also, I found another person who posted with a similar problem and here's what he wrote, (but curiously, he doesn't state what the fix was to his problem).
    After 1 and a half hours of support from Ireland it came out that some llibrary setting
    was conflicting with the startup of FCP. Apple did not hear of this problem before. I wonder
    how many macbookpro users have the same issue...

  • Language Choice with Final Cut Express ...

    Hello,
    Like many things Mac-wise (Leopard etc), does Final Cut Express give a language option during the instal?
    I am in France and would like to have the programme running in English - but those at the Apple store are unsure. I bought Leopard from them and they didn't know whether it was available in English. It turned out that there is a language option ... is that the case with Final Cut Express?
    Thanks for your time and help ...

    You have the choice of English, French, German and Japanese.
    I can't remember whether you get the option to choose the language during installation, but you definitely do afterwards.
    You control click the FCE icon and select "Get Info".
    Then open the Language menu.

    Get inspired by other videos you notice around.
    To animate 'elements', use keyframes.
    To apply 'overlays', green-screen/color-key is a basic procedure…
    To prep stills, a designated pic-processor is of fundamental need… although, even MacOS built-in Preview.app allows creation of 'knock-outs'/transparency… in case, you're shy to invest a few $$ for Pixelmator.
    It looks maybe complicated - it isn't!
    Don't try it first time for some serious projcect… but creating your very own Xmas-scenery is a lot of fun… plus, you learn a lot about FCPX and its many hidden gems…
    Final word:
    Catch some nice, own pics with your cam! … snowy trees, 4 candles and some cookies, a frozen window, illuminations in the streets, that crazy neighbour with his 50.000Watts of garden decorations .... Just add a charming title - done. Simplicity rules!  …
