My final cut pro DVD making problem

Hi, for some unknown reason, my final cut has stopped making DVD files when I give it that instruction. The file it makes will not play without quick time and is no use in a DVD player. Any ideas on how I make it return to making a DVD friendly file.

It sounds like you may be making a disk image. (Output Device>Hard Drive). Is that what you're doing?

Final cut pro -dvd pro

How do I transfer my final cut pro project into dvd pro to be exported?

i can't get the firewire output to the beta deck. have an ADVC-110 media converter. so the setup is firewire (4 or 6-pin, have tried both) video/audio output of the mac, into the canopus, then from the red/white/yellow outputs there is a stereo pair of RCA cables with XLR adapters going to a Beta SP deck. I've gotten other signals in and out of the decks and input/outputs on the canopus. problem has definitely been narrowed down to the mac, or final cut pro. i've set every setting i can find to apple firewire but still can't get it. any ideas?...

Final cut pro dvd fails to share

Over the past few months Final Cut Pro Share DVD fails most of the time. I tried restarting the program and my mac to no avail. I end up moving the video to my macbook and sharing the dvd on it. I am running OX 10.9.5 Final Cut Pro 10.1.3.

The error message seemed to indicate an encoding problem – apparently to DVD specs. See id you can verify this by choosing Output Device>Hard Drive in Settings in export dialog. If it fails, leave FCP open and go inside the library bundle and open up the Shared Items folder. If there is an m2v file and an AC3 file, drag them to the Desktop to save them from being deleted when FCP is closed down.
Let us know what you find out.

Final Cut Pro X crash problem on export.

Hello. Okay so I am running Final Cut Pro X Version 10.0.6 on a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13-inch with 2.8 GHz Dual Core i7 processor, 4GB RAM. At the time of the export I am not running any other applications.
I had begun exporting in 1080p HD with Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) which kept repeatedly failing. However having lowered this to 720p HD with both 1280 x 720 and 920 x 720 resolution, and changing Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) to H.264, I am still without luck on my export.
The export runs for a while before completely freezing up and crashing Fina Cut Pro X entirely, at the moment it gets to around 41% before crashing.
I get a report telling me that it crashed on Thread 26. Here is a copy of the Thread 26 crash in case anyone out there can understand this:

Export a Final Cut Pro XML file problem about translation issue

When I export the final cut pro xml file, there is always translation issue like that 'Transition <....> not translated, Cross Dissolve used instead.'
Most of the transition type can cause the translation issues except the wipe and cross dissolve.
Is there any body knowing the reason? Is that OK?
By the way , I am using the trial version of cs5

Hey Ani_,
I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
Import your footage into Premiere Pro
Name your clips (helps find things later on)
Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do. You will notice you have no errors on the export.
Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.

$10,000 Mac Pro won't read $1,500 Apple Final Cut Pro DVDs. Awesome.

Have tried rebooting, updating, etc. No luck. DVD Drive just rejects the disk(s).
What does $11,500 get you from Apple? A boat anchor. Piece of crap won't read brand new Apple FCP disks, so the 60gb, 8 hour install either won't start at all, or fails about 80% of the way through. Just great.
Thing is, I also own some Macbook Pros, and the new one does the same thing.

Final Cut Pro 'dropping frames' problem

Hi. I have a macbook, version 10.6.8 - I am trying to use Final Cut Pro version 6.0.6 and am having problems with the 'dropping frames' issue. I know you can get rid of the message, but does anyone know how to solve the problem, as when it comes to exporting the film I won't be able to? Is my mac too small/old to use this version of FCP? If so, is there anything I can do to rectify that? (that doesn't involve buying a new mac!)
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
Vicki

#12 Dropped frames on capture/playback
Shane's Stock Answer #12: Dropped frames on capture/playback
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58640
1) Do not capture to your main system drive. Since it is busy reading the operating system and application files, it will intermittently drop frames during capture. Capture to a separate internal drive, or external hard drive (firewire and eSATA for example).
2) Deactivate any anti-virus/filesaver software, including Norton and Virex. For some reason these programs think that the large files created when you capture media are in fact caused by some sort of virus, and they try to prevent this.
3) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mac OS Extended, journaling off. If it isn't, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
4) Trash the FCP preference files. Use PREFERENCE MANAGER to do that, available here:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com
5) Make sure that the hard drives you are capturing to are fast enough to handle the footage being captured to it. A regular firewire 400 drive cannot capture uncompressed HD, or even uncompressed standard definition. A RAID array of drives might be in order for these formats.

Final Cut Pro X effects problem

Hi all
I have two computers with Final Cut Pro X 10.0.9, on these two computers the effects will not show when I skim over them in the thumbnails, and if I apply them to the clip, they don't show at all. If I try applying one of the generated texts FCP crashes, and I have to quit the programme.
The problem seems to be the same as described here, but the solution does not work.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4971527?tstart=0
On one of the computers that do not work, I do not have the XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in by Sony (PDZK-LT2) installed. The other mac has the plug-in installed, but deleting it, does not solve the problem.
Is there anybody out there, who could have another solution to the problem?
Thank you for your help.
best
Mathilde

The FCP X sound effects were an additional external download and were not kept in the FCP X application.
You probably need to re-download them.
In the FCP menu at the top left of your screen you will see the download link.

Would I still be able to fun Final Cut Pro with no problem with the new 13"

My old MBP has "NVIDIA GeForce 860M GT with 128MB" and the new 13-inch MBP has "NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics" I don't really know what "GT" means, but the more expensive MBP's listed have it, so I'm guessing it's pretty good. I was wondering if I'd still be able to fun Final Cut Pro quickly if I got the new 13-inch MBP.
Back in 2007, the guy at the Apple store said I'd have to get a MBP instead of a MB if I wanted to fun FCP correctly, and now both the MB and MBP use the same graphics chip, so I'm wondering if FCP will still function correctly on the new 13-inch MBP?

Eric wrote:
Incorrect about what? I never made any statements, just questions. According to the Apple store, the Macbook and 13-inch Macbook Pro both use the same chip, which is the only statement I made. And which is why I'm wondering if the new 13-inch MBP can even handle FCP since the MB can't (according to the guy in the Apple store).
Actually, your original question was formed as part of a statement:
now both the MB and MBP use the same graphics chip, so I'm wondering if FCP will still function >correctly on the new 13-inch MBP?
And that's the part that BoyHowdy pointed out that you are "a little incorrect" about. While it's true that they both have an onboard 9400M graphics chip, you are overlooking the fact that the 15" & 17" MBPs also have the much more powerful and dedicated 9600M GT graphics card. This is not an insignificant difference. Final Cut Pro, not to be confused with Final Cut Express (not you, others have confused the two), requires a dedicated card which the 15" & 17" MBPs have in the form of the additional 9600M GT, but the 13" still lacks.
The specs on the Final Cut Pro page are a little confusing because while it says it *will not work* with integrated graphics, it specifically refers to Intel, and does not mention Nvidia. However, it still says it requires an AGP or PCI Express card, which the 9400M is not.
My feeling is that even if it runs, the performance of Final Cut Pro on that system will be unacceptable, and will ultimately drive you mad. It really pushes the graphics systems hard, and despite their vast improvement over the pathetic Intel onboard graphics systems, the 9400M is still pretty anemic for high end work. You're better off saving a little more money and getting the low end 15" model. Not to mention, the extra screen real estate makes a huge difference with the very crowded Final Cut Pro UI.

Final Cut Pro X / Compressor problem

Hi, I have a Panasonic HDC-SDT750 and have imported a video to Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5
I have sent the video to Compressor 4.04 and used presets for apple tv 3G - 1080p
Everything went fine except that some parts of the .m4v are like these very bad YouTube videos where you cannot see anyhting, like
theres some fog over the picture.
Can anybody help me, please?

Export to media and look at the file. Is it OK?
Can you answer this please?
Your original media is 720p and you're blowing it up to 1080p? Don't do that.

URGENT HELP : FINAL CUT PRO AND IDVD PROBLEM

Hi there this is serious. I shot footage on a sony hdv z1 as 50i and imported into final cut as apple pro res 25p, edited then exported out as apple pro res 25p. The footage is 16mins and the file size is 10.67gb.
The aim of this project is to go to dvd for my client.
Now when i watch the footage in quicktime it plays back perfect and looks really good.
So I imported the footage into the latest IDVD used a very nice custom menu but when I play my source material into the window as a preview I am getting alot of jittery lines e.t.c?
What is causing this and better yet what is the solution?
More info I was shooting a girl band at a photoshoot and the photographers camera was constantly flashing, this is where the lines in the footage really do show up on IDVD. Remember in quicktime this is not a problem and plays back perfectly.

if you shot 25p and edited in 25p, you should not be having a field order problem. And if you have the option of changing the field order, then you didn't edit in 25p. If you edited in 25p the field order of the sequence should be "none". Maybe that is your problem. If you have an "upper" or "lower" field order in your sequence settings, change that to "none'. Also, if you are importing your QT movie into iDVD and letting iDVD compress it you are not doing yourself any favors. YOu should use Compressor and Studio Pro, as the aforementioned post states.

Final Cut Pro 7 keyboard problem, losing key commands/shortcuts

Hi Everyone,
I installed Final Cut Studio 3 on my new iMac.
When i open FCP 7 I assign a shortcuts to keyboard layout, but when I close and re-open FCP 7 my commands/shortcuts will be lost...
If I save my layout and I load the profile saved, same thing, shortcuts will be lost.
With my old final cut 6 I never had this problem.
There are any solutions?
Thank everyone!

Thank you mishmumken,
I found this Partially solutions for this problem, I think is a apple Bug, I wait for any fix:
Solution for Studio 2 AND Studio 3:
1) Each time you start your computer, go to System Settings - International
2) Change the language from your language to English
3) Change the language from English to your language
4) Start FCP
5) Your shortcuts and the FCP shortcuts work OK
You have to do this each time you restart the computer. People working with the English language setting don't have this problem.
This bug is about 2 years old. Shame on Apple for not solving the problem!!!

Final Cut Pro DVD export failure?

Final Cut Pro 6 Transition Problem

I am having some trouble when adding video transitions (cross dissolve). Anytime I add a transition, I get a visual flash right after the transition, it's almost like a jump in the footage. When I remove the transition there is no jump, what gives? It seems to be happening quite often, in fact all the time now.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

BTW, no reason you shouldn't be able to import the DV files using a FW connection into either FCP or iMovie.
Hey Russ thanks for the quick response, I think my whole problem stems from not being able to import using FW connection in the first place. You see, I notice about a year ago that upon importing using "log and capture" that the program would freeze up. I got various suggestions to the problem, all of which didn't help out. Thus, is why I'm using a pc program to capture. I just basically gave up and chalked it up to my Mac being outdated.
