Motion clip darkening video in Final Cut Pro

Hi all
I'm having trouble adding some motion graphics over the top of some video using Motion and Final Cut. When I drag the Motion clips, which contain little more than some animated text on a transparent canvas, into Final Cut, the video is darkened for the duration of the Motion clip. The appearance is like adding a black layer over the video at about 10% transparency, but obviously no such layer exists in the graphics. Any ideas?
FYI, the settings for these clips/videos are the same as ones I did recently, and no such darkening occurred. I'm stumped...

Are you rendering into RGB or YUV?

Burning a video from Final Cut Pro using iDVD

When I export and save my video from Final Cut Pro to a folder (export->Using Quick Time Conversion). When I do that there are several different videos that are saved in my folder (ie-Kelly Michelle; Kelly Michelle-av1; Kelly Michelle-av2; Kelly Michelle-av3; Kelly Michelle-av4; Kelly Michelle-av5).
iDVD is the program I need to use, I do not have any other programs. Therefore, I import the file to iDVD and once everything is ready in iDVD I try to burn the dvd. However, in the last stages of burning a window pops up and says that "an error was found during the burning process". It does not tell me what kind of an error it is. Does anyone have any advice or a step by step process that I need to do in order to burn my dvd successfully.

The simplest way to prepare a video for iDVD is to *Export/Quicktime Movie* (NOT Using Quicktime Conversion), select Current Settings, Audio and Video and, depending on your needs, other 2 options:
o- +Make Movie Self-Contained+ is preferred to have an independent movie (you can move the exported file, you can continue editing your FCP project before burning the exported version, etc.) but requires more disk space and more time for exporting.
o- +Chapter Markers+ (NOT All Chapters) must be selected if you created Chapter Markers in FCP (markers in the timeline, not the clip, and clicked the Add Chapter Marker button in the marker dialog).
The resulting .mov file (whether self-contained or reference) may be easily imported to iDVD.

Can't import iPad videos in Final Cut Pro X

Hello there, anyone knows if there are recent issues in importing iPad videos into Final Cut Pro X?
I follow the ordinary workflow, and it all seems ok but at the end of the importing process a "!" yellow triangle remains attached to the imported clip and this one can't be played.
Already tried to make a high quality conversionand/or a proxy, the conversion process seems to start but it doesn't go further than 0%.
Thanks in advcance for your help.
PS: the videos have been teaken with the "Video Pro" app an then exported to the iPad "film roll".
PPS: in the importing window the clips can be played normally.

Russ, I succeed in importing some files by transcoding them in a proxy one by one (that is not in a work queue). Some other files simply stops the rendering process and make it hang until the closing of FCPX. Thanks for your time.

Hi, i've made a video in final cut pro, the problem is that when i export it not the entire video is played, just the first 3 seconds

Thanks,

What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

Hi there
I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
Any advice greatly appreciated!
thanks

Just to add two suggestions.
1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)

How do I swap one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7?

How do I sway one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7? I am doing what it says in a book but it is not working. Thanks.

You drag the clip from the browser to the clip on the timeline. Wait till the timeline clip goes white. Drop it and pick from the menu that appears the replace option you want.

How to show each color channel image of a video on Final Cut Pro X

Hi, Sir,
How to show each color channel (R or G or B) image of a video on Final Cut Pro X? I found this feature is useful for the image quality editing, such as the noise reduction.

Do you mean this?

Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

Thanks Tom -
I created two "sequences". They are currently listed individually in the "project library". Now I want to take sequence "B" and attatch it in it's entirety to the end of sequence "A" - forming one long sequence.
I have tried to drag sequence "B" and drop it into "A's" timeline. I have tried to creat a compound clip. I'm either missing something - or - you can create a compound "clip" or a compound "event" - but perhaps you cannot link to "projects" together.
Does this help descibe my problem?
Thanks again.

I have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default specification and i feel some slow performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest?

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

No sound on clips when importing video in Final Cut Pro X

I recently got a new Mac Pro tower and installed Final Cut Pro X in it. I have imported 4K media into my library and since the footage was located in the same drive, I left the files in place and created proxy media to make the editing easier and faster. But every time I try to do a batch import, the video files appear to have no audio...the audio is missing within Final Cut Pro X.
Yet, when I look into the library files (in the finder, not through Final Cut) and find the transcoded proxy files, they do have audio.
I have had to delete the files from Final Cut, then re-imported them either one at a time or in batches of no more than five shots a a time. Very cumbersom and a waste of time.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi Russ. The video and audio were originally recorded with a Sony NEX FS700 R camera with its 4K Raw being transcoded to 4K Apple ProRes HQ by an Odyssey 7Q recorder.

It's really quite magic!
According to their website, it works in Motion 5, and there's even a free demo you can try.
