Motion Files: Not Recognized in FCP 5.0.4.

Seemingly out of the blue, my version of FCP 5.0.4. is not recognizing the Motion files that I've imported into a project.
(My G5 tower was recently into the shop for a new hard drive, and updates were done on all software. So theoretically, this shouldn't be an issue.)
Motion is running fine on it's own. The problem appears to lie with Final Cut Pro.
Any suggestions for fixing the problem?
Thanks.
FCP 5.0.4., Motion 2.0.1., Mac OS X 10.4.11.

Final Cut Studio installs lots of components at system level, many of them are in folders that are normally invisible to regular users and often don't have names that can be directly associated with FCS.
When the shop performed the Archive and Install, those components were left in the Previous System folder. The contents of Previous System are rendered inert by Archive and Install, so a lot of important files that FCS needs are no longer accessible.
Delete the FCS apps in your Applications folder, they are useless. Delete the entire Previous System folder. Reinstall FCS from the original disks and run Software Update to get your Pro apps to current versions.
Bill the shop for loss of earnings.

    If your library is in the standard layout of an iTunes folder containing an iTunes Media folder (and you've already copied over the media) then you can simply copy the iTunes library files and album artwork folder across to the new machine recreating the same layout. If the media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder then see make a split library portable for a way to get the library into a portable form, after which you can copy over the library files.

  • New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

    New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.  Is there a fix?  Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

    I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
    Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more.  http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

  • Camera RAW, file not recognized after import and migration, Aperture 2.1

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased a 1DMKIII and am constantly getting "file not recognized" after I import and even after migrating RAW files. My 1DS MK1 RAW files have no issues. The RAW files render just fine using CS4 bridge. Any ideas here on a fix? Other than ditching Aperture (not desireable)
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Hummmm..I have just 'manned-up' from a 2gb macbook running tiger+CS4 to a iMac 24" 8gb running leopard BUT!
    I shoot RAW and the iMac will not recognize the NEF RAW files! this is soo frustrating - tried to update Camera Raw but to no avail.
    please help! I've got 987 raw wedding photos to process!!
    I dont know what to do!

  • .RAF files not recognized in bridge but PS ok.  Patch 7.1 installed.

    .RAF files not recognized in bridge but PS ok.  Patch 7.1 installed.  Anyone know the fix?

    To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
    The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
    I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
    Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
    For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
    Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences  and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
    The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
    The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.

  • Camcorders Not Recognized on FCP 5

    My two camcorders I have (Digital 8 and Mini DV) are not recognized on FCP 5. They worked fine with all other FCP versions. I have it set to DV NTSC instead of HD for it could read them, but it doesn't see them. My camera are old too, and wondering if they just don't recognize those models. Going to try a newer model from a friend to see if it works at all. Just wondering if they're any setting I have to change. Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum!
    You'll get good advice here and it's worth a visit even if you don't have a problem - you'll learn a lot from reading the posts.
    This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem with FCP (if that's what it is):
    First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
    FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
    Follow the instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite safe but you must Trash the Receipts AND re-install QT from the link provided.
    If the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
    Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
    Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
    Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
    Let us know how you get on!

  • Blurring of text once motion file is imported to FCP

    I've been experiencing this problem for a while now. I guess this could have been posted in the motion forum as well. When I create a simple text screen (black solid background) in Motion it looks as it should, but when I import that same file into FCP the text seems to lose a lot of quality and becomes blurred. Sometimes the quality is so bad that the crosses on T's and the dots on I's are not visible!
    Both motion & fcp projects are set to 25fps. When I open Motion to start a new project I normally leave it to default (pal dv i think)
    I'm sure this can easily be corrected so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
    Alex

    Still receiving a number of Motion to FCP problems.
    Not only is the text blurring when imported into FCP but motion files with for instance a particle emitter/behaviour (such as stars moving towards frame) is taking nearly 2 hours to render & even then when i go to play the file in fcp the timeline freezes with a 'dropped frames' pop up appearing.
    Help?!

  • .mov file not accepted by FCP

    I'm trying to import a quicktime movie file into FCP, but I keep getting an error message:
    File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.
    Why don't they write these error codes so you actually know what the heck is going on?

    Could be a couple of things, actually. Don't fall into the conversion trap that most editors do. If you have to convert something back and forth just to edit it, you're wasting all of your time.
    First: make sure it's not some sort of permissions issue. Get info on the file, unlock it, and make sure read/write for ALL users is enabled, then don't lock it back. Try again.
    Then, check the codec and all other info on the clip. Post that info. Check your Libraries/Quicktime against the info on your clip. Chances are, if you don't have FCP 6+ you don't have a lot of the HDV codecs installed. The "Apple HDV Component.component" fixes a LOT of this sort of thing.
    Also- when you preview the clip in the Finder, do you get a picture? does it play? If not, you're going to need new codecs.
    FCP is a PRO APP. It should be able to recognize and cut any piece of video out there. The trick is it's a plug-in architecture based on Quicktime. Quicktime is also a Plug-in architecture. If all the libraries to handle the video are in place, it doesn't matter which FCP you have, it just so happens that 6+ is the release written after a lot of the HDV codecs went live in cameras.
    Hope this helps! I know not a lot of this information is public!!

  • Motion Project Not Working In FCP

    Here's what happens:
    In FCP, I send a clip on the timeline to Motion. After I'm done with it in Motion, I save the project file and quit Motion. When I go back to FCP, the Motion project file in the timeline is unrendered (like it should be). If I put the playhead over the clip, I can see a frame from it, but when I render it, all that plays is black. Any idea why it does that? I end up having to export the video from Motion and import it into FCP, which is a real pain.

    Sorry if this should be posted in the FCP forum. I figured the problem is associated with Motion.

    I still hold the opinion that when trying to use an unsupported hardware/software configuration, problems will arise. From the Final Cut Studio 2 Tech Specs page:
    An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    While some things may work, your configuration is not officially supported. It seems that you've already discovered a work-around for your situation by exporting directly out of Motion. In my limited experience with Motion, particle generators require a lot of processing power, in this case, a hefty graphics card. Even with our ATI x1900s at work, adding particle generators can really bog that card down.

  • Changes in xmp files not recognized n Lightroom

    In my workflow i have setup for changes to be made to the xmp files by a program other than lightroom. In the previous version of Lightroom i had tested this, it worked fine. When i made a change to the xmp file, Lightroom recognized the change and displayed/rendered the image appropriately. Now, I am using version 2.2 and this is not happening. I see the option in th Metadat dropdown menu for "Read Metadata from File". If i click this it works. Is there an option for this to automatically happen that i am missing? If there isnt, why not? Also, I have noticed that Lightroom does not automatically write/update the xmp file if that option is enabled when using the develop module. Can anyone help me with this?

    Read has never been automatic, and write is automatic but not instantly - it does it when time is available. You can use synchronize instead of read if you want to, but again, it's not automatic.

  • Canon 7D MRaw files not recognized by PS Elements 8 on Mac OS X

    Canon 7D MRaw files are not recognized by PS Elements 8 on Mac OS X.
    After I installed CR 5.6 I can see MRaw files in Bridge CS4, but the files still do not open in PS element 8
    Can anything be done to fix this?

    Hi again,
    I found "Library\Application Support\Adobe\plugins\CS3 (or
    CS4)\Fileformats". As it happens, the camera raw.plugin 5.6 was already
    installed for CS4 but not for CS3, which I therefore proceeded to do. When I
    tried to open a Canon 7D MRaw file in CS 4, PSE opened with the same error
    message as before, i.e the file format was not recognized.
    However, just for the fun of it I tired to open the same file from CS3 in
    PSE 6 and it works! but with the warning that the ACR expires in Jan 2010, I
    think
    So, there is still something wrong with the CS4/PSE 8, but I think I like
    PSE better so I am OK for now - although the irony is that the only reason I
    bought PSE 8 was to be able to work on Canon 7D raw files.....
    Thanks,
    Niels R
