Lost Color Bars and Unrendered Slate

Hi,
Installed FCS3 onto one system on an Apple Xsan as upgrade. Under the Machine login all works fine I can see Color Bars and anything that needs rendering plays with the slate as normal.
Now under a Client login, The Slate is missing and Color Bars are white in the Viewer (Set to RGB) and Black on the timeline.
I have killed all the Clients files on the local and network homes ie fresh install. but still has the same problem.
Does not make a difference what format you are in but when you go back to the Machine all is fine.
Any ideas..... as when you are playing the unrendered sections and come to a normal section it just keeps a freeze and then falls over asking for faster hard drives. But once rendered will play fine.
Thanks
Phil

The main user should have a folder named "Constant Frames" in the Render Files folder. The color bars and unrendered slates are in there.
Even if you delete it, FCP should create that folder and it's content at the next launch.
You might try copying it from the main user to the Client users Render Files folder.
Doesn't solve the question of why it's not being generated though.

  • Print to Tape color bars and black order

    Hello. i'm about to print a videoclip for a tape. my question is the following, in the print to video setup theres is the option for color bars and black.. but the color bars come first and then the black. i would like to have the black first for 2 minutes and then color bars for 30 seconds..how can i do that?

    I want full control over how things happen. As an added benefit, by keeping everything in the sequence timeline, I have the ability to use a custom countdown clock.

  • Color Bars and tone in FCP X?

    Just downloaded FC"P" X and having a look around I cant find Color Bars or Tone anywhere...?
    Did a quick search on the help... but couldn't find anything.
    Surely I must be missing something here - they must be available right!!?
    I know I could output some from my deck or earlier version of FCP but thats not the point really is it. What possible reason on God's green earth could there be for omitting something so simple. Sorry but most del specs (even for digital tapeless) require bars and tone.
    Can someone point me in the right direction - they must be in here somewhere.
    Thanks in advance

    If I were to use FC X for a delivery then that would be the way to go I suppose.
    Or generate b+t on the deck and ingest to the computer and then import to fcp.
    Dont think I'll be using FC X for anything in the short term though. Just playing around. See where it goes.
    So many odd decisions - why get rid of a perfectly good, simple feature like "make freeze frame" - I know you can do it using the retime tool now but its a round about way of doing things.
    Sorry if sounded rude - there are so many crazy Apple fan boys willing to jump on people here at the slightest hint of criticism :-)
    Thanks

  • Color Bars and Monitor Calibration

    Hy,
    Trying to calibrate my monitors using the FCP internal color bars is completely different from using the camera's color bars...!
    What is your experience in that?
    I absolutely dislike the image I get on my monitors when I try to calibrate it with the internal Bars. Actually I almost can't get the lower right, light gray stripe come visible. I have to push the brightness to the maximum and the image is terrible.
    On the other hand, using a recorded camera's bars, it looks nice.
    What's up?
    I'm using a PAL sequence by the way.

    Luis
    Are you saying you are using PAL clour bars to adjust your Mac computer displays?
    If you are, then that is wrong
    You can only calibrate computer monitors using a computer display profiling system using a probe.
    such as:
    http://www.gretagmacbeth.com/index/products/productscolor-mgmt-spec/products_cm-for-creatives/productseye-one-display.htm
    If you are adjusting a PAL monitor, you should use, preferably a test signal generator, or the bars connected direct from the camera to the monitor
    Dont use Final Cut Pro or bars recorded to tape as the test signal, you must iliminate any interference to the signal caused by misaligned electronics.

  • How do I add color bars and black leader to beginning of sequence?

    I am exporting a film as a Motion JPEG A file for my post sound guy and need to put a minute of black, followed by a minute of color bars, followed by 30 seconds of black at the beginning of the movie. I can't figure out how to do this since the only way I know of to add color bars is in the "print to video" or "edit to tape" functions. Any ideas?

    Color bars can be generated a variety of ways - easiest is to go to the Effects tab, then "video generators" then choose "color bars' (I think you can choose w/or w/o tone) and drag it to your sequence's timeline. Then add slug for black leader amount you want (you can increase/decrease it as needed)

  • I am seeing funny color bars and messed up displays on my Mac

    I have an iMac intel duo core desktop with OS 10.6.3 updted to 10.6.8. My colr and screen is messed up with wierd patches of color bars, jagged  and distorted images. What is the problem?

    Sounds like a hardware fault. Most likely the integrated video card. Take it in to an Apple Store if there's one near you and have a Genius look it over.

  • Lost iTune bar and minimize buttons

    Just go Lion last week. When I use iTunes i lose the minimize buutons and the to function bar. How do I get them back?

    Hi Dgetlin,
    It sounds like you might have gone into full-screen mode accidentally.
    Try hitting the F11 key on your keyboard. That will turn off full-screen mode.
    Hope that helps,

  • Lost search bar and now see clock in search bar

    Searchbar no longer works. I reset Firefrox and this did not help. Think it maybe Trojan.

    Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
    If not then reinstall Firefox to get all default search engines.

  • Bar and Tone (NTSC) no audio in timeline but can hear it in viewer

    Help! I've got a deadline as usual!
    I put the color bar and tone in and can hear it in the viewer but not in the timeline. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Make sure you have at least one audio channel active on the timeline before you drag it over.

    Do you have any suggestions on what I should do?  I've been trying to look for a print preview screen to see if I can remove them there...but haven't had luck (and have been acquiring many gray hairs in the process...no surprise).
    Thanks again for your help!!

  • Using Bars and Tone When Importing From Cards?

    I edited video for decades, and for years on an Avid, and quit before we started recording onto cards and entirely digital material. I'm used to importing, let's say Digibeta tape, and using the color bars and tone to set-up the picture and audio using the bars and tone the cameraman recorded before shooting. I've been asked to work on some projects shot on cards, not analog or digital tape, and many video editors stare at me when I mention setting up using bars and tone as if that is not necessary any more.
    Every camera is going to lay down video with slightly different color and exposure characteristics and I would imagine that footage would need to be adjusted using color bars. Otherwise, wouldn't the colors and exposure from different cameras be inconsistent when cut together?
    I understand that waveform monitors are still used to make sure shots are "broadcast legal" if the show is going to be broadcast, but are the waveform monitor and vectorscope not used when importing footage any more? I know that color hue is used by shifting the phase, which doesn't exist on digital, but there still must be a need to tweak the color coming from different cards and cameras. Please help me out on this...
    Thanks, from an old analog hacker
    Greg

    I'm the OP and I'd like to get back to my original inquiry, and thank you all for reminding me that I'm not alone in trying getting blank stares when I ask for bars and tone at the top of the footage. But I'd really like to know how one sets up FCP to run the footage from the digital tape or chip and tweak the video signal before importing, so that all the footage I capture comes in with the video properly set.
    For example, today I shot with some fellows rather new to video, but they put down bars and tone. When we went to import the footage (some from tape, some from chip) we couldn't figure out how to run the incoming signal through FCP, see it on the waveform and vectorscope, and access the controls to tweak the exposure and color BEFORE importing a single frame. Is that possible in FCP, would you please tell me how to do it?
    We could tweak footage after we imported it into FCP, but when we wanted to tweak it before importing, when we tried to capture we got a dialog box that basically said "Capture" or "Cancel". Is there a Preference or setting to choose so that we can do what I want prior to importing, or am I stuck tweaking each shot after I've imported all the footage?
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • Lost the HSL and colour Adjustment tool bar
