No refresh displaying iTunes song in Final Cut Pro X anymore?

Not sure what is going on, but when I display iTunes songs in Final Cut they do not refresh when changing from folder to folder. I dont see that problem with other Apps like Garageband, iLife Sound Effects or Final Cut Pro Sound Effects, only when trying to search for songs I know exists in any of my iTunes library folders or playlists.
Im sure it has to be a problem but uncertain when it started. For example, if I am looking at the content of "Impacts & Crashes" from Final Cut Pro Sound Effects, and then select to see any of y iTunes playlists/folders I still get displayed the previous "Impacts & Crashes" content from Final Cut. The only way I can see iTunes content is if I select the main iTunes parent, there I see my whole library. But again, I can't narrow down to any of my playlists or folders.
Was this funcionality removed or is it a bug? Am I the only one with this thing going on? How can I fix it?
Thanks for any help.

Ahh, figured it out - for you folks that notice the same error...
If you have iTunes in an external drive (like I do) probably the drive is sleeping. Wake it up (I doouble clicked my drive to access it). After that your iTunes lib might be accessed from Final Cut. Suppose this applies to anything else trying to import from an externally fed iTunes library.

From iTunes Store to Final Cut Pro

How do open a song I downloaded from iTunes Store, into Final Cut Pro?
I tried Opening it, in Final Cut, and I tried importing it. But it comes out as silence. Final Cut knows how long the song is, but that is it.
Then can I edit the song in Final Cut?

You can't and shouldn't.
Your license doesn't permit it.

Importing iTunes songs into Final Cut

Because the file is locked, I can't open a song with Final Cut Express. That's the whole reason I bought the song, now I can't use it! Any advice out there?

See if you can upgrade the track to iTunes Plus, which is of high quality and, more importantly, has no copy protection. Sign into the iTunes Store and click the Upgrade to iTunes Plus link under the Quick Links at the upper-right.
Note that even without copy protection, the tracks from the iTunes Store are still licensed only for your personal use and cannot be used in any movie project that you intend to give away or post/play in any public venue.

Ilife Sound Effects and Final Cut Pro Sounds are not appearing in Final Cut Pro X anymore!?

Hello,
I am new to the app Final Cut Pro X. And recently when I have gone into the Music and Sound Folder in final cut pro the option for Ilife Sound Effects and FCPX Sound Effects do not appear. I have read other forums and they have said to drag the sound files into FCPX but that isn't even a option. It onlt has iTunes options, please reply back someone this is stressing me out. I don't know if it is because of Mavericks or whatever but it is driving me insane and I need help!
This is what it looks like .

This is a known issue in FCP X 10.1 and you will find many posts about it in the forum just do a search. Several solutions have worked for different users. Try the following:
1. Open and close GarageBand then relaunch FCP
2. Open and close iPhoto then relaunch FCP
3. Close and reopen FCP
4. Trash FCP preferences then relaunch FCP
Any one of these may work. Just try them in any order. Be aware the problem may recur.

How can I lock a clip to storyline, timeline or song in Final Cut Pro?

My friends and I made our own version of Pharrell Williams happy video and I'm trying to edit it. The thing is that there are places where we sing and we want the song to match our lips so how can I lock the clip in place? I'm very new to editing and FCP so please write detailed directions.
Thanks =)
Here is an example of the video:

when it comes to 're-edit' things.. such as:
2014 FIFA World Cup on ESPN Commercial: I Believe
which 'inspired' me to do that:
http://youtu.be/du4xWTtYKVY
(the kids are my son's team)
I drag the original into the storyline
I set Markers (keyboard: m) to the original edit-points
I have the pre-selections of my material in the Events browser, set edit-mode to 'video only'/shift-2
set playhead to marker (magnetic is a good help), hit q
'fine tune' the edit (edit/colors/effects/...)
select clip and cmd-shift-arrow-down to apply final edit to the storyline
jump to next marker (ctrl-' )
That is a very fast way to 'dub' professional edits; and: I'm learning a lot, e.g. it is not only the edit-points, but the 'content' which makes a good edit 'flow' (which lacks my version) ...

Video does not display when sending from Final Cut Pro to Motion

Suddenly, when sending an audio & video sequence to Motion, a new Motion file is created, and all my layers come in properly, but the video does not display.
The audio plays fine, and Motion clearly know that there are video tracks there, but it does not display them.
Additionally, when rendering the Motion file back in FCP, it turns in to black video.
I have previous sequences within the same project that were sent just fine, and are editable properly, but any new ones I try to create just come out black.
Help, please?

Do you have Motion mistakenly set to render out with an Alpha channel?
Double click your Motion clip in the Timeline. Go to Modify > Composite Mode in the menu bar and set the Alpha to "None/Ignore".

ITunes in Final Cut Pro

I can buy songs on iTunes and put them into iMovie but cannot get them into Final Cut Pro. This is my hobby and the only reason I would buy a song is to put it into my personal videos. Apple said this can be done but would not tell me how to do it. Can anybody help? I have Studio Pro.

oh no.
let's not go down this road again. Look Apple allows you to do it in a consumer app because you clearly won't use that professionally.
The digital millennium copyright act prohibits me even telling you how to use a CD or iMovie to break the copyright protection.
Please don't ask here. A search would turn this up a DAILY question (sometimes MANY times a day) IF the thread didn't get yanked for legal reasons.

Itunes and Final Cut Pro

I want to use a song I bought from the itunes Music store as a soundtrack for a movie I am cutting on Final Cut Pro. I normally convert the song to AIFF format and then import it into FCP. This does not work with purchased music as it is protected. Can anyone tell me how I get round this...please.

Afaik the only workaround is to burn protected music on
b Audio CD
and then re-import it in whatever format you want.

What is the song used as backing for the new Final Cut Pro video ad?

Nothing to do with the application itself, BUT just stumbled across the new video ad that Apple have released for Final Cut Pro. Really, very impressive - check it out....!
Question is: Can anyone tell me the name of the band / song Apple are using for the soundtrack of the video? Would love to order it up on iTunes.....
Cheers!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks Brian, I was only half joking. I've been wondering how I'll get used to them in the edit suite.
I've lost glasses when they were sitting on top of my head. I can't imagine trying to keep track of 3 pair. Fortunately my CRT/LCD vision is the same poor quality as my Drive In Screen vision so hopefully the bi's will let me read scripts while editing without getting a pounding headache.
Enough of this old guy talk, we're going to start depressing people. (;

I want to use my macBook Pro 2,2 (mid 2007) to display video being fed from a Canon 5D video out into the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3. Is it possible to input live video from another digital camera into the MacBookPro

I know that the built in iSight camera records video. I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D. Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described. If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)

Dear Ben,
Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

Help!!! Upgrading to iTunes 10.5 has destroyed all video in Final Cut Pro

After upgrading to iTunes 10.5 all of the video on my external hard drive was shot with a Canon XL-H1 and captured on a Focus Enhancements FS-CF. The files are HDV quicktime movies with the MPEG 2, Linear Timecode codec.
Movie files that are already imported into Final Cut Pro 7 appear as white screens and will not play. Final Cut crashes when I try to re-import them.
When I try to open them with Quicktime 7 I get a message saying "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie." Quicktime X won't open them either. However, VLC plays them just fine.
I've looked in the codecs folder for Quicktime and the HDV codec is present for playback.
I'm experiencing the same issue on two systems: a brand new 27" iMac and a 17" MacBook Pro. Both are running Snow Leopard.
I was on the phone with Apple for over 4 hours. Ultimately they blamed my camera and hung up.
Dear God, someone please help!

I emailed Focus Enhancements, the manufacturers of the FS-CF flash drive I use to recorde footage from my camera. They're aware of the problem. Here's the email I received:
Currently, there is an issue with Final Cut Pro X, Mac OSX Lion 10.7, the latest version of the Quicktime player (7.7 or any 10.0version and up) and our Quicktime HDV files. We have been working with Apple ona fix for this issue, however, I do not know when the fix will be available.The only workaround we know of at this time is to record in the .m2t fileformat and convert the footage to .mov (Quicktime).
If you are not running Lion and you have Final Cut Pro 6or 7, you may be able to downgrade your Quicktime player so your files willwork. Some of our customers have had success with downgrading their Quicktimeplayer by following the steps listed here: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
If you cannot downgrade using Pacifist, you may need tocontact Apple for further assistance.
I tried the Pacifist route. It didn't work. And in my opinion, recording in .m2t and converting to .mov is a time consuming option, especially if you're on deadline. I'm going to dual boot my machines with Leopard and not upgrade iTunes.
iSkysoft's video converter is the only converter I've found so far that will convert my hdv files. But it pillarboxes the converted video and throws the audio 14 frames out of sync; issues that can be fixed in editing but then everything has to be re-rendered.
As far as Focus Enhancements working with Apple on a fix: don't hold your breath.

Final Cut Pro - Two Video Cards - Display Turns White

MacPro Xeon 2.0GHz
3 Gig Ram
Two nVidia 7300 Video Cards
Two CRT Monitors and One HDTV
I have two CRT monitors attached to my original nVidia card. I recently installed a second video card and attached a third monitor to my DVI output (on the second video card)
I tell Final Cut Pro to display video on third monitor as full screen output. I can see my 720p (or 480p) display. When I press play, the entire screen turns White. (I've tried a CRT monitor, and my LCD HDTV via HDMI to DVI).
If I remove my Right CRT monitor from my graphics card and attach my HDTV (giving me one monitor and one HDTV) I can get full screen 720p play back. But I don't want to edit with one monitor! I am wanting to have my two monitor editing setup with the third monitor as my full screen display (720p).
Why does three monitors result in a white frame for playback? Do I need to configure something?
Help!

Why don't these videos display in Final Cut Pro X?

I am very new to using my iMac and to final cut pro. I can't figure out why these videos don't display video in the application. They play fine with audio in FCP and they are perfectly watchable through quicktime on the Mac. I have a screenshot, just ask if there is any other information you need to help me resolve the problem, thanks!!

Tom is correct it is a Sanyo camera whih shoots in MPEG4, I was actually unaware that fcp doesnt support this!
When i put the files into a project they just display exactly the same, the audio works but no visual to them!
I will try what yous have suggested when i get home from work this evening and hopefully the converted files will play nicely!
Thank you both!

ITunes and Final Cut Pro 4.5

Everything was fine: OS 10.3.9. G5, Dual Processor. Final Cut Pro 4.5
Updated both iTunes and QuickTime. Trouble! Longer clips wouldn't capture, batch or any method.
So, I go back to QuickTime 6.5.2. That fixes the problem with capturing video clips.
But now, when I try to import my music library CD, I can't. I can do it through iTunes, import into Final Cut, but when I attempt to place it into the Timeline, it shows me 3 tracks...and the red line, as if they were needing to be rendered.
When I play, I get the "beep, beep, beep."
I am bringing them as AIFF files.
Any help?

You can use QuickTime to convert the CD's audio tracks (AIF, 44.1khz, 16 bit) into AIF, 48khz, 16 bit.
If you want to use iTunes for this, set the correct audio sampling rate (48khz) in iTunes' preferences.

Fonts display wrong in Final Cut Pro

One of the other editors in the office put together this piece and now I am making some changes to it on my machine. We're using the font "Baskerville" a common font that comes on the computer, and it is showing up correctly in the Font Book, but it is not showing up correctly in Final Cut Pro.
There should be other options like regular, bold, semiBold etc, but there's only bold, italic, and bold italic.
The other strange part is that when I first opened it on my computer it displayed wrong, and I tried reinstalling the fonts, and then it worked fine. I tried reinstalling the font again but it didn't help. I also tried restarting and that didn't help either. I checked in the Library > Fonts folder as well as the fonts folder under my user and the fonts match.
Any suggestions as to what I could do?

As far as I remember, Final Cut has always had this issue....
I believe it has something to do with Final Cut only reading True Type (not Post script) fonts.
That's why I only use Text for simple things like legals. For all other text uses, I use Photoshop...
