Jump cuts during a footage import

I got some jump cuts during a footage import (firewire) from a JVC camera (1280X720 HD): during import I saw short black frames; then I saw that, corresponding those point,s I had the jump cuts. It's quite strange, also because, on the camera monitor itself all seemed fine.
The camera owner today tried importing same footage on a pinnacle software on a windows pc and all was fine there...
What could it be the problem here?
P.S. A month ago I imported a footage (720X576, so simple DV) from the same camera and all was fine

Also, you might try a different camera or a deck, which might be more forgiving.
I'm in the midst of ingesting a lot of old mini DV tapes…sometimes finding for some tapes the deck won't read properly but a camera will…and for others, the exact opposite.

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
Thanks guys.

I mean I get the same errors.
Let me explain again.
There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

Why can't I Apple+H hide Final Cut during capture anymore?

I used to love hiding the big screen while it was capturing footage and I could get on with other stuff and see my desktop!
For some reason it doesn't hide anymore?
Anyone know about this?

Now, there is a problem though, now Apple-H doesn't hide it! I just don't understand why this would happen all of a sudden? I can live with it but I preferred hiding Final Cut so I can see my desktop.

Hi Alex, very interesting. What version is your OS? Did this happen after an update to the OS? I can certainly understand your frustration when a function all of a sudden doesn't work as it use to, especially when it's a function that is suppose to work.
Personally I don't do too many other tasks while capturing, but I will often switch over to check my email or something not very demanding upon my system. Yet, I have at times run some pretty heavy applications without any problems with my capture. So, I suppose it has a lot to do with installed memory and your processing power + fast drives. In any case, I understand what your asking here and will be anxious to see what other solutions you are offered.

Cropping in instead of Jump Cut FCPX

When recording your face, and you need to splice two clips together, you often see a crop in, rather than a jump cut. I know this is achevied by editiing in 720p from 1080p footage. How would you achieve this in FCPX?
Thanks!

Select the clip and from the transform button in the lower left of the viewer select Crop. Select the middle crop button to crop the video.

Dealing with unwanted jump cuts

I recorded a short video with the talent using an ear prompter. She's just getting used to using it and as a result I have many instances where she is sitting in front of the camera not speaking and these 'silences' need to be edited out. But when I select/ripple-delete these sections out, I'm getting 'jump-cut-like' jitter in her facial expression.
Any suggestions for how this type of situation is dealt with in editing, or do I have to reshoot? (Note: adding in b-roll to cover up the gaps would create its own type of choppiness).
Thanks for your suggestions.

A regular _quickish dissolve_ between two cuts might work or the Dip to Color dissolve.
The Dip to Color can be set to a color that works with the footage.
Timing will make or break it.

I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes The app continually crashes during the picture import. AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos. The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes. I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone. I have 10Gb free. I have 6600 photoes. This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products. My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also. It does the exact same thing to it. The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process. But it will import every photo a few at a time. The error message is just that itunes has stopped working. no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time. You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is. I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities. Ultimately they were of no use. I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
it said this

basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

Um, can you "import" it? You can "install" them, but only the ones made for FCP 7 on Leopard.

Jump Cuts are not working

I am having trouble getting jump cuts to work. I put some music in the background, added beat markers, selected the part of the video (about 12 seconds over 21 beats) that I want to jump cut and clicked on 5 frames...*nothing happens* except the video clip that I had selected is now unselected. I tried this same technique at the Apple store on their demo computers and it worked fine. Any ideas?
Message was edited by: jjackson2007

Ok, so i have the same problem. The jump cuts doesnt work in the project I want it to work in. But if I create a new project with just one movie added, add beat markers and press jump to beats, it works just fine.
Could you be more precise about the transitions? Is it the transition between sceenes in the movieproject?
I have turned of Lock to Beats, I highlight the sceene I want, press jump to beatmarkers and nothing happens. I`ve tried just about every trick I can find from this forum and nothing works. But I dont fully understand the "transition" solutin you have come up with, so of someone could explain it abit better it would be much appreciated:) My Imovie is not in english either, so I`m not sure what you mean when you say transitions, hehe:)

Jump cut an beat-Markern funktioniert nicht

Hallo liebe Helfer,
ich habe feststellen müssen, dass jump cut an Beat-Markern nicht mehr funktioniert wenn man vorher einen Übergang zwischen zwei Videoclip setzt. Bei allen nachfolgenden Videoclip ist es nicht mehr möglich diese Funktion anzuwenden.
Ich habe es rauf und runter probiert, es geht bei mir anschließend nicht mehr, trotz aller Arbeitsschritte wie:
-automatische Übergänge deaktiviert
-Hintergrundmusiek Beat-Marker gesetzt
-Clip makiert
-Jump Cut an Beat-Markern angeklickt
.....keine Veränderung?????
was ist hier verkehrt?
Ist dies ein Programmfehler?
Ich würde mich freuen wenn mir jemand helfen könnte
betsen Dank vorab!!!!

Jump cuts to beat when NOT the first clip

Hi I want to add jump cuts to a sound clip that is not the first one in the project.
After a lot of false starts in trying to get jump cuts onto a clip when the music was just
(a) attached to an exisitng film clip (green underneath the clip) - Won't work. or
(b) a pinned - sound clip first, movie clip second but where the sound does not butt up against another background clip (wrapped in purple) - Won't work
I've got it to work where it is background music - sound first, movie second (wrapped round in green). I've opened up the Clip Trimmer, added the beats on the beat with the 'M' key - highlighted the movie cliip - selected Clip>Jump cut to Beat Markers> chosen a frame rate BUT only where the background clip is the FIRST background.
If you add more songs to a project and go through the same sequence as before the number of frames is not greyed out but the app just doesn't do anything. All the tutorials online only ever show you adding jump cuts to the one and only music track but never to the second one.
This is v. frustating. Sounds like a bug to me.
Is there a way of breaking up the project so that it will play as one continuous film and so allowing different parts of the film to be the first piece of background music?
Thanks.

Does Final Cut 7 support direct importing of MTS files from an HD Camera

I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and have been importing MTS files from my Camera's Hard Drive to my Mac through the Log and Transfer feature. However, during the upload it converts the files to .MOV. The resulting .MOV files are much larger than the original MTS files. I am interested in learning if the latest Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 7 allows for a direct import of MTS files as well as editing this native format without the need to convert to a .MOV?
Also, I have many MTS files that are now MT2S originally imported onto my old PC that are now stored on Data Discs. Is there any way possible to bring those MT2S files onto my Mac and edit in their native format or will I need to convert them through some third party software to have them editable on by Final Cut Pro?
Any insight is appreciated!

You can, if you want to jump through some hoops, edit your native AVCHD footage in Final Cut (there is no direct import option but you can capture it into Toast, export that as an .mp4 and bring that into Final Cut Pro.) That being said, it is a very bad idea plus its clunky and slow.
Long story short: Use Log and Transfer and get a big hard drive.

Footage Importing Problem

Hi all,
I appear to be having this recurring problemn that i've never got to the bottom of with my Final Cut 4.1.1. I import footage which appears to be fine, (usually about an hour long, split into many clips) When i take a section of a clip to my timeline, and try to adjust the speed of it, the picture plays at normal speed, and the sound plays at the speed i have requested!!!
Because the picture has continued at normal speed and the sound has slowed right down, the picture clip automatically jumps onto the next frame shot, if that makes any sense!!! I don't know what's causing this to happen and it's a real pain because it's happening too often now. To correct the problem i'm having to re-log the clips again which means waiting another hour for each tape.
Sometimes when i'm importing stuff onto the machine, i work in other apps in the background, and i don't know if this is part of the problem. I have a G5 dual 2.5Ghz and 2.5G of RAM which should be sufficient. I'm also using 10.3.9
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please!
Thanks
Martin

Upgrading has fixed it!! I really didn't think that it would because FC4.1 was working periodically, anmd the times it didn't work were tying in with when i was importing footage and working on other stuff.
Many thanks for all your help guys.

Getting what looks like a jump cut with some of my Ken Burns esq photos

I thought the problem might be eliminated once I exported out to Quicktime but it didn't work. Really anoying and I've had it happen alot. I'm new to Final Cut Pro, and I'm working on a paying job do out tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.0 GHz, 400Gb Hard Drive, 2Gb Ram, 250Gb External

Okay here you go,
I would import photos into my photos bin. Drag the photo I wanted to use into the timeline, and send it to Motion. Inside of Motion I would add one or both of the grow/shrink and throw behaviors. I then saved it and went back to Final Cut. And as one would expect I now had a moving picture, that looked perfect.
As I continued to work on the project these pictures would develop jumps as they played. It was like I had cut out three or four frames from the middle of its movement and stuck the two ends together. Thanks guys.
