My Final Cut is adding a frame when I lay to Digibeta

I am getting really frustrated with my Final Cut as it is adding a frame when I layoff onto Digibeta. My time-line is set correctly, for example at 09:59:30:00 I have a 30sec clock and the video starts at 10:00:00:00 within FC but when I check the digi back the media is comes in at 10:00:00:01.
When I open up my project on another computer and lay to Digi it's fine and all the settings on my computer appear to be the same as the other computers that don't add the frame. And just to confuse mt futher, when I layoff to Beta SP in the same manner it comes in on time.
Has anyone else experienced this and managed to solve the problem? I am running FC 5.1.4 on a G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.10

I've seen with RS-422 connections that you need to calibrate each deck you use to record back to... You can do this by adjusting the device control setting for each machine. If it's consistantly a frame off, just adjust it's device control setting to match. (frame offset parameter).

Final Cut Pro X keeps freezing when sharing my work to You Tube, it does about 90% of the upload and then seems to get stuck. Any ideas on how to resolve this please?

this is a perfect question to ask the users in the FCP X forum. Good luck. https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x

Why is Final Cut Express adding 5 minutes of black to the end of my .dv export? I've marked it out, there are no additional clips at the end, it's doing this consistantly.

I'm using Final Cut Express 4.0 and when I export to .dv it adds 5 minutes of black to the end of my export. Any ideas on why this is happening? I have it marked out and there are no additional clips at the end that it's trying to capture.

According to previous posts in this forum, Apple does not support FCE with Lion, no less Mountain Lion. Nonetheless some people report no problems using FCE with Lion, depending upon upgrade protocols from Leopard etc. You list FEC 4.0, but FCE has an update to 4.01 free download from software update.

Getting error message in Final Cut Pro X for frame 13142 when sharing

I am sharing a project to Master File and I get an error message: error occured when creating frame 13142. How can I find that frame?

I had frame generation error last nigtht trying to make master file on a short 5 mintue simple video I built.
It said error was on frame 6797.
I seach for soluitons and nothing seem to help.
I tried copying project contents to new project and that still failed with frame error 6797.
I then reviewed that frame and it was the one time in project I used any special affects for movement of image, Ken Burns and Key frame transform affects on a freeze frame image.
I createa new third project copied contents in and remove the freeze frame image. added freeze frame image back into project and only did Ken Burnes affect without key frame movement.
i was then able to complete geneeation and share project.
So if you get a frame generation error check that frame and see what special affects your using. There maybe a bug in FInal Cut Pro X when you mix and match affects on one object in a project.
hope this helps someone... I was stuck for several hours on this last night.

Final Cut Studio - Adding Transitions

First off, I'm really new to Final Cut Pro... but very experienced in most other pro level Photo and Vector software. I'm following a video tutorial to learn the software, but I keep getting the "Dropped Frames" Error when I add effects. The way I'm doing it right now is I drag the slider to the point in the clip I want to add a transition and click the "Add Edit" option. From there I go to the browser and add the "Video Transition" "Dissolve". It shows up in the time line but when I go to play it and see my changes in the "Canvas" window I get the "Dropped Frames" error. I read the help file on this problem here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1165
I don't believe any of these things apply to me, and the options I could change did nothing to resolve the problem. I'm using a 13" MacBook Pro with the standard 2GB of RAM, 2.26GHz Core2Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.2, 720P video at 30fps.
The effect isn't even playing in the "Canvas" but I see it in the timeline. It's just not showing any effect at all. I could really use some help here... I was under the impression the 13" MacBook Pro can handle this kind of editing. Again I'm not doing anything major, just a video with some minor transitions.

Sorry Studio X,
I may not be an experienced Final Cut user, but I have done a fair share of video editing. Suggesting dissolve effects are very CPU intensive is just not true. I can do them in other software with 0 issues. I appreciate your help, but if Final Cut is unable to do something I've had zero issues doing in Premiere and Avid... that is something to be surprised about.
However, perhaps it's the video format I'm trying to edit (h264) which would be a much more reasonable explanation. I'm not entirely convinced that using an External Firewire drive is the only solution to this issue, and judging by other responses for my purposes no one else is suggesting that.

Final Cut Pro - sticking & jumping frames

Hi, I am 10 minutes into an opening sequence using 'Final Cut' when the frames start sticking and jumping at the same place. Past this point - if I reposition the cursor everything is OK. When I deleted the troublesome clip and replaced it with another at the same point the same thing happened. Can anybody help?

The details are important.
Version numbers of FCP, QT, and OS.
RAM, computer, and media drive.
Sequence settings and acquisition cam.
Help us out with your workflow and set up.
Your problems may be dropped frames that results from a too slow media drive or multiple FW drives on a single bus.

Final Cut Pro Audio Levels Low when exporting to mp3 and mp4

Hi everyone! When I export audio from Final Cut as an mp3, my levels are very low. When I export footage as an mp4, the audio is low as well. But before exporting, my levels are right at or below 0. So they are where they should be. So for example, when I open the audio in Adobe Audion or Logic, they could almost be doubled before peaking within those programs. Could this be a compression issue? And input would be helpful. Thanks!

Are you working 0n 10.0.9? If not, update FCPX and see whether that solves the problem.

Final Cut exports only 720x486 (640x480) when needing just 720x486

We are having issues with exporting from Final Cut or Quicktime.
We are uploading thru digital delivery. This is what we need:
Format: QuickTime, MPEG-4
Codec: AVID IMX or APPLE IMX
Bit Rate: 50 Mbs
Aspect Ratio: 720x486 (1.481)
Frame Rate: 29.97
Audio Channels: 2 (or more)
We getting this error:
"The received file was:
Format: QuickTime, MPEG-4
Codec: Apple IMX
Bit Rate: 51628048
Width: 720
Height: 486
Aspect Ratio: 1.347
Frame Rate: 29.970
Audio Channels: 2"
The file info on quicktime is 720x486 (640x480), but previously we were able to export files from FC that were just 720x486.
This is what we are exporting now... using exactly the same settings....
This is a file done a few months ago:

Is there something wrong with the way the video plays? There shouldn't be as the "(640x480)" is just telling you the square pixel equivilent of your 720x480 4:3 file.

Why does final cut x copy events even when the copy files to final cuts events folder is unchecked

When I import iMovie (v 9.04) events into Final Cut Pro X (v 10.0.2) it always copies (duplicates) the events even though the "copy files to Final Cut Events folder" import preference is unchecked. I do not want to duplicate 1 TB of data for no reason. Is this a bug or is the feature badly mislabeled? Can I impot iMovie events without duplicating them?

You shouldn't expect the FCP events folder to be twice the iMovie events folder. While the .dv files (or whatever the media are) are duplicated, the iMovie Movie Cache and iMovie Thumbnails folders are not. Instead, FCP creates a Render Files folder and a CurrentVersion.fcpevent file.
To compare one event, iMovie had a Thumbnails folder of 681.3 MB and a cache folder of 587 KB. In contrast, FCP created a Render Files folder of 45 MB and an CurrentVersion.fcpevent file of 2.1 MB. So, the FCP foder is 634 MB smaller than the iMovie folder for the one event. But don't take my word for it, just compare pairs of events yourself. You will see the media in the Original Media folder and it will be exactly the same as the media in the iMovie folder. Since you have the media, there is no reason to worry about deleting the iMovie folder.
Now I have no way of knowing if this is true, but is it possible that FCP duplicated events until it ran out of disk space? While the FCP events folders are a bit smaller than the iMovie events folders, it may not be enough to have made everything fit. And keep in mind that it takes a while for the Render Files folders to be generated. After I imported 50 events (about an hour of video each), it took a few hours for FCP to finish generating the Render Files folders. I watched the entire Final Cut Events folder grow by several GB while that was going on.
In short, just compare pairs of events to reassure yourself that the media are in both places.

Final cut pro 4 dropping frames

I have recently updated my software, now I can not capture without having a dropped frame thing pop up.

Hi,
Try this below, which worked for me:
1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2. From the View menu, choose Spotlight.
3. Click the Privacy tab to reveal the areas that Spotlight will not index.
4. In the Finder, open your "Final Cut Pro Documents" Folder.
5. Look for the Capture Scratch folder and drag it onto the Privacy portion of Spotlight.
To test this, start a new "test" project in FCP and log and capture a number of clips and see if the dropped frame problem pops up. Put the clips on the Timeline, do some effects like dissolves, etc.
If you still have an issue, open up FCP, choose User Preferences, select the General Tab and uncheck (that is, remove the checkmarks from the following: Sync audio ..., Report dropped ..., Abort ETT ...,
Abort capture .... Also, "on time code break," select make a clip.
Report back.

Premiere adding repeated frames when overwriting with transitions

Hi,
Having a bit of a problem (software bug?). I work with groups of clips on a timeline with 5 clips for each group (Intro / segment1 / segment2 / segment3 / outtro) and each week we replace 1 or 2 of each segment so we don't have to do a complete re-edit each week (for example one week we may replace segnemt 2 in each group for the new week and keep 1 & 3 intact)
I'm replacing clips on a timeline using an Overwrite Edit while keeping the transitions from the previous clips intact (cross dissolve with center alignment). The new clip is IDENTICAL in length to the previous clip I'm replacing (so "handels" are already there) however Premiere is adding repeated frames to the head of the new clip (so the incoming image freezes up until half way thorugh the transition). One way I found to fix this is using the SLIP tool to drag the new clip to the left and line up the in point of the new clip to where it should be. I'd use this as a fix, however I'm replacing over 300 clips in some instances and it's just not time efficient to slip and tweak each one.
I hope this makes sense.
Anyways, has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug? Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Phil

I hear ya, unfortunately in our case we actually don't have a choice deciding where each scene begins and ends because the first frame of the next clip is the next frame in the animation sequence (we have a tile wall floating with moving images over so the flow between the two clips needs to be seemless.) We use a cross dissolve where the overlapping frames match each other during the transition, so the 5 segments stitched together look like one consistant flow). We do this so we can swap out different content segments each week so we can quickly update rather than spending hours re-building the entire segment each week. If you've ever seen the FirstLook conclusion in the movie theaters before the movie starts, that's what I do Sounds like Ann's solution will work for us in this case.
Cheers!
Phil

Final Cut 10.2 keeps crashing when trying to update my larger libraries

My Final Cut just updated to 10.2 and each time I attempt to load one of my larger libraries, it crashes. Does anyone have a work around or fix?

Why does Final Cut Express 4 quit automatically when I open Log and Transfer window?

I'm using a Sony NXCAM and I am editing on a Mac OS X. The clips I have recorded are in MTS format so I understand I must use the Log and Transfer setting to import my clips. I plug the camera into my computer, go into Final Cut Express 4, turn the camera on, and then go into the Log and Transfer window. Once I open that, Final Cut quits and an error message pops up that reads, "Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly." Final Cut quits too fast for me to even click on anything in the Log and Transfer window. I really don't understand why it does this. The only thing I can think of why Final Cut is quitting is because I have over 100 clips on the camera, so maybe that is too much for Final Cut Express 4 to handle. However, I wouldn't think that would be the case. If anyone knows of anything I could do to fix this problem, then please send me a reply. I've looked around the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem, but I haven't found anything. Thank you, any responses will be greatly appreciated!

Shooted videos directly saved to the SD memory card is no problem, the log and transfer window immediately recognizes the sd card and I was able to convert the videos. I will check later today if this were 25p, 50i or 50p footages.
Strangely enough is that transferring the .mts files from the internal memory to the sd card (using the Mac finder, I don't know if it is possible within the camera itself) won’t help, the log and transfer window doesn't the recognizes the transferred files, strange!
I hope that this problem will not occur using Final Cut Pro X, which I will start using soon.
I'm curious what the exact problem will be.

Final Cut Pro 7: Audio Stops when clicking outside the program.

Just something that annoyed me and was wondering if their is a way to correct it. Whenever I am listening to a song within final cut in a video or in the viewer, it will stop playing if I click out of the program. For example i might be listening to a song and want to go do a google search or open another program and as soon as i do the audio stops. It will begin playing once i click back into final cut and everything works fine but its just bothersome. If anyone knows a way to change this please help me out!
Thanks
Josh

well, I think if I remember correctly that might be a normal state, because FCP wants to "take over" completely. My systems are on MacPros with Kona Cards and I/Os setup for 5.1 output. I think I lose audio because the Kona wants only one app controlling it at a time. I'd have to be sitting in front of the box to figure it out. But oddly enough I'm actually home.

When are Apple going to sort out the Final Cut Pro X Key Frame problem

Hello,
I’m trying to move three custom text clips to different locations on the screen & change the text size. The text clips drift around between two key frames with the same values. (“linear” is set on the red wire frame movement indicator) I know you can stop the drift by going to the first key frame, move forward one frame, add a key frame, wait for the rendering to complete then delete the key frame, then move to the next key frame, go back one frame, add a key frame, wait for the rendering to complete then delete the key frame. All this takes a considerable time. Does anyone know when Apple plan to fix this Key Frame bug? Or an easier way to stop the drift between key frames?
Thanks
JohnH

Yep, I hope KFs get a little bit of love in the next update too.
To make my KFs linear, I always do the move, then drop a dummy keyframe inbetween them and add/delete that KF until the Motion path stops showing a change. Linear interpolation will follow!
Pain but quite quick!!
