My Final Cut pro x will not let me do 1 frame stills

I am working with a Time lapse and final cut x will not let me make the duration any shorter than 2 seconds. How do I over ride?

The selection duration can be made very small, but of course it's very difficult to deal with a one frame selection. Usually the best thing is to convert the image sequence to video before bringing it into FCP, or you can put all the items in the timeline, select them, and set the duration to one or two frames.

  • Final Cut Pro X will not open:  Asking to "restore windows"???

    Hey guys,
    I have restarted, updated and done everything I can to get Final Cut Pro X (10.0.1) to open and I keep getting this alert >>> PHOTOBUCKET.  I have done nothing new to my hardware or software (other than apples updates) since installing it a month ago from the app store. 
    The alert keeps asking me to either "Don't Restore Windows" or to "Restore Windows" and I clicked on both numerous times and I still get the "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly" alert which looks like this >>> PHOTOBUCKET after about 10 seconds of selecting either option.
    Any ideas?  -Joe

    Have you tried trashing your preferences?
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
    If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then if they get corrupted you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
    Can't guarantee it, but it's worth a try.

  • The sample audio files in Final Cut Pro X will not play

    How can I hear the sample audio in Final Cut Pro X without dragging the clips onto the timeline. They used to play, but stopped after the computers were connected to Tenaka.

    The only way to test it is to go to Network system prefrences and switch off all connections to networking. There are no plugins for FCP that are used for network connections.

  • Final Cut Pro X will not export my project - error 1

    Hello everyone,
    So Final Cut is giving me a hard time. I have a project about 15mins long that I would like to export as a master file and it just doesn't want to work. When I first finished and tried to export, I was using verison 10.0.8. I would select master file for the export and it would just sit there, stuck on 0%. I then realized that I needed to update. I updated to 10.0.9 and tried to do the same thing again - no luck. Next, I closed final cut and trashed preferences. I then opened up and tried exporting again, same thing happened, stuck on 0%. Then I closed again and trashed preferences again. I opened final cut, turned off background rendering, and trashed project render files and event render files (as was suggested in another discussion for export problems). After doing that, I again tried to export - still nothing. At this point of course, I had trashed the render files, so I figured I should just let the project render again. I turned background rendering back on and opened my project - now it would not render! It was stuck on 0%! Okay so I closed and reopened again. I first tried to copy my whole project into a new project and try letting it render that way - nope, didn't work. So I closed and opened again. I turned off background rendering and started a new project. I pasted just a section of my video into the new project and manually rendered that section, which worked. So I pasted the rest of the video (in chunks) into the new project, manually rendering chunk by chunk. Finally I had my whole project again, and the whole thing was rendered. I tried exporting again and got the error 1 message, "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 373 (error -1).". This is my current state of affairs, and its driving me crazy. I just want to export my project!
    Please help....Thanks

    Thank you. I found it now. This is a location where I did not expect this. I tried to do this using the GUI elements controlling how clips are displayed in the time line. I also was looking for a context menu item on the clip. I did not expect it in the preferences.

  • Final Cut Pro X will not playback viewer contents on external monitor

    Tried to follow directions to Playback the Final Cut ProX Viewer on a separate monitor.
    Option Window > A/V Output greyed out. how do I use a second Monitor to view results?

    Typically you need A/V output hardware from AJA or Blackmagic (and they are recommended for various reasons) but if you want to use your TV or display as a second monitor and also use them for FCP X playback then the trick is to disable the Mavericks feature in Mission Control: "Displays have separate spaces"

  • Final Cut Pro X will not export Audio

    Everything looks / works fine on the timeline. However, when exporting there is no audio. When trying to export audio only, I receive Quicktime Error 0. This just started happening in the last couple days. I've had it since it came out and haven't changed anything in the settings, etc. I'm clueless. I have a project that took me a couple days to put together. I've had to capture the audio using iShowU and then sync it up in Premier Pro - not a good workflow at all. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Well - I was slightly wrong. I was zooming in on the timeline to do some screen captures and there actually was a cross disolve I couldn't see when zoomed out to the full timeline. So, I'd heard people having issues where dissolves are so I removed it. Sure enough everything plays (and exports) fine. However, I go to re-add the disolve and the sound again shuts off right at that point on export. Any solutions to that problem?

  • Final Cut Pro suddenly will not open

    Hello Everyone,
    I have done a search and I found a couple of threads realating to my issue, but none with solutions. I have posted my experiences there, but would like to start a new thread for my specific issue.
    I run FCP 5.1.4 on a G4 Powerbook. I use an external Lacie little bigDisk as my scratch disk. It's 250GB/FW800 and there is over 100GB free space.
    I have been using it all week working on a project and there have been no problems at all.
    Last night while closing the app down I noticed that the FCP icon was still registering as open in the apps bar. I had to force quit to close it.
    When I tried to open up FCP tonight, I was presented with a window that claimed my scratch disk had gone offline. I checked everything and all should have been well.
    I backed all my data up, and then reset the scratch disk. I hit continue, but that was as far as it went. It just disappeared. I cannot get it to open. The load screen appears and looks like it's loading up, but then it disappears just as quickly. If I disconect my external drive, I get the same message again stating that the scratch disk has gone offline, but even if I set it to my primary drive, it still won't open.
    The only thing I've done lately was to delete some back up files from my idisk. They don't relate to my current project. I can't see how that could affect it, but as it was done around the same time I thought I should mention it.
    I checked my Primary disk and external disk using Disk Utility and it reported minor problems. I check quite regularly and these are new. Using an external drive as the start up disk I repaired them and they now show as fine.
    I haven't yet deleted the preferences.
    Thanks for any help,
    Philip

    I don't know exactly what causes preference files to become corrupt, but the symptoms that you described in great detail in your original post helped me properly understand that the problem you were experiencing was most likely a preference problem. The symptoms you described are very similar to what happens to our edit suites when preference files go bad.
    I'm glad you found a solution. Also, thank you for the detail you put into your original question, that is somewhat rare, but is essential to proper troubleshooting. Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.
    Take care.

  • My final cut pro x will not show me any playback video...how can i fix this?

    my canvas area is not showing me any video and is showing a distored section ( see below ) please help!

    It looks like you have the Timeline active, and there is nothing in it, so there is nothing to show in the viewer.
    Try clicking on the clip that is shown on the image at the top left and then move the cursor over it. Make sure that you have skimming turned on (View->Skimming). Does it still not show video in the viewer? Note that part of your clip also appears to be black.
    On a side note: it is super easy to make screenshots right on your mac, so you don't have to point a digital camera at the screen. Just press Cmd-Shift-3 and you'll get a picture of your entire mac's screen (by default it is saved to your Desktop and called something like Screenshot-[date and time here].png
    Or Cmd-Shift-4 and you can drag to select an area of the screen to capture.

  • My Final cut pro x is not letting me share my files

    I keep trying to export my files and the only that i ave figured out how to do it is to share on my default file so that i can have a accessable file so i can upload it to youtube , or directly share to youtube . it wont convert i always get an error message
    it says "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 7439 (error -1)."

    You are using a version prior to 10.1. The 10.0.8 version in particular had export failure tendencies.
    Sometimes they were caused by corrupted clips and just as often by bad renders – even though he error message didn't differentiate.
    The delete (or replace) clip solution that Ian Brown suggested is worth trying. An alternative way to locate the reported frame position is to go to Preferences and change Time Display to Frames.
    If deleting (or replacing) the clip at that frame location leaves you still unable to share, then turn off background rendering select your project in the Project Library and then from the File menu, Delete Project Render Files (choosing All); do a similar exercise to get rid of event render files. Without rendering, see if you can now export.

  • TS4169 Final Cut Pro X will not open

    does anyone know of another solution? i have tried this and it still wont open. I also reinstalled the software but this didnt help either.
    thanks

    are you getting the "restoring window layout" dialog?
    If so go to library>preferences and delete delete com.apple.FinalCut.plist
    and see if that works.  it worked for me.
    I learned that custom keyboard layouts will cause this hang.  when quitting fcpx revert to default keyboard layout before quitting.

  • Final Cut Pro X will not open

    Stuck on splash logo saying 'reading XXXXX event'. forever. Any ideas?

    I have already done that, and it did not work. I also deleted the app and re-installed it from the app store, and when I launced the replacement app, it just got stuck on the splash screen again, with the same message 'Reading XXXX event'. Getting very frustrated, especially after dropping $300 for this piece of garbage
