Output Device Missing in Final Cut Pro while burning

Our Output device in dropdown box is now missing all of a sudden. I wanted to know how to manually resolve this issue, if anyone could assist? We were burning a DVD from Final Cut Pro 10.0.09. and we got an error message:
Not sure what happened during burning. We tried inserting a single layer disc instead of a dual layer and now we cannot view our output device in dropdown when we go to share it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Do you mean your optical drive is not listed? What is listed…for example, Hard Drive?
What are your system specs?

All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
If you still see nothing, try this in order:
1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install.

You can search the entire internet by putting that error message into google, see what other discussions appear.
With only the little information you've provided, I'd trash Compressor and download it again from the App Store.
You could share the timeline out to MPEG2 and then import that into iDVD, if you have it, or Toast.
Given an hour or three, someone with better suggestions will soon chime in.

MUSIC FOLDER MISSING AFTER FINAL CUT PRO X UPDATE

I cant see the music folders that come with Final Cut pro after the most recent update (i.e. special effects, etc). PLEASE HELP!

I saw on somewhere that reloading FCPRO Content v1.0 would do the trick. It worked. All 1300 sound fx are back where they belong. The link to the download is:

Did not try the Garage band suggestion but thank you all.

Missing File - Final Cut Pro HD

Hi, I Opened FCP And Saw This! How Do I Get It Back?

It merely means that you need to reassign the scratch disk in FCP. Click on the button that say RESET SCRATCH DISKS. Normally that would be another internal drive, or an external Firewire or eSATA drive. Make sure the drive is mounted before you launch FCP.

Final Cut Pro X burn more than one DVDFinal Cut Pro X burning DVD copies

There seems to be an issue when burning ('sharing') more than one copy of a DVD from FCPX - I have replicated several times
Share DVD first time correctly creates a DVD which will autoplay from start of programme material
If you then choose Create DVD - Burn DVD again - this produces a DVD which autoplays from a random point in the programme material
If you choose to exit from Create DVD and Share DVD again (using the same title) this produces a DVD which autoplays from a random point in the programme material
If you exit from Create DVD and Share DVD using a different title this produces a DVD which autoplays from start of prgramme material
Any one have a similar experience?

Not sure I understand that point Tom - I am not using a DVD player to test this issue
I think I should re-phrase my question:
It appears that having 'shared' a DVD from FCPX with title XXX XXXX which correctly autoplays from the start of the DVD...
If I then click 'burn again' the DVD produced (played back as a test in my Mac) will consistently autoplay from another point in the programme material not from the start
And if I write another DVD from the 'share' menu with the same title XXX XXXX when tested in my Mac it will consistently autoplay from another point in the programme material not from the start
However if I write another DVD from the 'share' menu (same timeline) with a different title XXX XXXX XXX the DVD when tested in my Mac will autoplay correctly from the start
Can anyone replicate this performance error?

Add the non controllable device to Final Cut Pro X

Apple needs to add the non controllable device feature to final cut pro x,

Use feedback. That's what it's for.

Outputing video from the MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro

Hi
I wounder if there is a BlackMagic card that can be connected to the new MacBook Pro - with FW or with ExpressCard 3/4.
I want to output video signal from Final Cut Pro to an external monitor, and to capture footage into the FCP.
Thanks
Roi

Ditto-- I need to know the same thing. i want to view hd video from final cut on an external monitor. Does someone have an answer?

Which firewire interface for Final Cut Pro on MacPro?

I currently own a Presonus Firepod, and it seems to work pretty well, but may sell this when I upgrade from a MacMini to a MacPro. I use my Mac for Logic Pro currently.
I anticipate running Final Cut Pro in the near future, so I'm wondering about the ability to read/generate SMPTE time code that the MOTU traveller supplies?
There will be no external mixer, so this interface will connect directly to speakers & headphones. (would be nice to be able to mute speakers and control headphone mix using just the firewire interface).
I don't anticipate needing more than 2 Mic inputs - and my current mike is a Rode NT1. (As the NT1 is not a top-of-the-line mic, unsure if I should place a lot of emphasis on worrying about the pre-ams?)
I would like decent mic preamps, and ability to graphically monitor input and output levels (is this graphic monitoring necessary, or is just the single overload indicator sufficient?).
Which interfaces in $600-$1500 range would work best with Final Cut Pro - and Logic Pro?

I saw the Traveller ads in Videography mentioning
time code, so I presumed it had an advantage over
other interfaces.
I found this in some ad copy:
"""The Travler provides on-board SMPTE time code synchronization features that allow you to slave your Traveler system to SMPTE time code without a synchronizer. The Traveler provides a DSP-driven phase-lock engine with sophisticated filtering that provides fast lockup times and sub-frame accuracy. The included MOTU SMPTE Console software provides a complete set of tools to generate SMPTE for striping, regenerating or slaving other devices to the computer."""
So it likely uses an audio port for timecode I/O. However, unless you have external equipment that you want to slave to Logic Pro, (or have Logic slave to) e.g. a timecode DAT, then this really is not necessary. FCP would not see the Travaller as a "controllable" device.
For Final Cut Pro use, I'd probably shoot in HDV.
When shooting a green screen near my computer (or
maybe even on-site), I wondered if there would be an
advantage to recording the audio thru an interface
like the traveller.
The advantage is that you could capture additional mics and audio tracks with your mac while the cameras shoot. Just slate your takes and sync up later.
Do I actually need an interface that provides time
code, or is that only needed for movie work?
I have SMPTE I/O on my Unitor8, directly accessable in Logic Pro. In 8 years I've probably used it twice to capture audio from some modular digital multitracks. So, unless you have some specific need.....
Maybe it is simpler just to connect to the mic
directly to the camera's input?
Indeed. You should always have camera audio available. Anything else is supplemental. Alternatively, you could use the Travaller or RME, etc. as a "live to camera" mixer in a studio situation. Plug your mics into the interface, create a submix and send it to the camera while simultaneously capturing each mic to an individual track in Logic Pro. There are many possibilities.

HOW to temporarily use Broadcast monitoring work on snow leopard OS X v10.6.8 for FINAL CUT PRO X

thx,macmacmac give me prompt.He had an interesting trick for getting the OS X Lion 'only' plugin to work on Snow Leopard
To install the plugin on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 you have to temporarily change your system version number to Lion 10.7.2!
1. Go to HD:/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
2. Copy the file to the Desktop
3. Open the original with a text editor and change the string value of 'ProductVersion' and 'ProductUserVisibleVersion' to '10.7.2'.
4. Save & Overwrite.
I suddenly thought Apple said that Broadcast monitoring work on Lion OS X v10.7.3.I change system version number at once! Changing 10.6.8 snow leopard system version number to Lion 10.7.2!
ok,no problem. Restart final cut pro x,A/V output has appeared in FINAL CUT PRO X preferences and Window Menu
Enjoy it.HAHA!:cheer:

thanks for the tip fan!

No sound on clips when importing video in Final Cut Pro X

I recently got a new Mac Pro tower and installed Final Cut Pro X in it. I have imported 4K media into my library and since the footage was located in the same drive, I left the files in place and created proxy media to make the editing easier and faster. But every time I try to do a batch import, the video files appear to have no audio...the audio is missing within Final Cut Pro X.
Yet, when I look into the library files (in the finder, not through Final Cut) and find the transcoded proxy files, they do have audio.
I have had to delete the files from Final Cut, then re-imported them either one at a time or in batches of no more than five shots a a time. Very cumbersom and a waste of time.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi Russ. The video and audio were originally recorded with a Sony NEX FS700 R camera with its 4K Raw being transcoded to 4K Apple ProRes HQ by an Odyssey 7Q recorder.

Looks like final cut pro does run and "runs well" on macbook

http://www.creativemac.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=43717
"Contrary to the bizarre rumor, the MacBook can indeed run Final Cut Pro, and it can run it quite well, if these tests are any indication. For Final Cut Pro, we ran four individual tests to compare performance on a variety of functions and in both HD and SD. In most cases, the results were fairly close. The 13-inch MacBook beat the dual G5 in two of four tests, tied it in one and lost out by one second in another. All of the tests were rendering tests, which, of course, doesn't tell the whole story. But it does give a good indication of the power of a computer's CPU."

Final Cut Pro while it does run it is not supported to do so.
Please be aware also that the report only tested functionality that is not impacted by the GPU. For instance, the MacBook will more than likely fall flat on its face, comparitively, when faced with real time effects. Using FCP is not only about rendering and encoding speeds. There are other hours, day, weeks etc infornt of FCP that does not involve neither rendering or encoding.
It is a skewed report that does not taking into the account the actual "using" of FCP.
As a cheap alternative to an MBP for portability reasons… the MB will be fantastic.

My final cut pro cant work after reinstall

asking for help!urgent! due to some issue, i had reinstall my final cut pro..after reinstall, i click on final cut pro,while loading audio filters..waves:Dorrough 360(5->5) it come to stuck! wat problem is this?how to solve it...

Ting, you are probably looking in the wrong place. Waves filters are not installed in the regular location for FCP plugins. They'll be in somewhere like /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins ... also likely there is a dedicated Application Support folder for them too. My recommendation to you is to download and install Digital Rebellions FCS Maintenance Pack. To start with you can just use the 15 day free demo ... launch the Plugin Manager and hopefully you can use it to disable this pesky plugin without having to search the depths of your systems for the offending article. Once you've verified that its all fixed and working then you might want to explore the rest of the tools in the pack and seriously consider buying a full license. It's a great app by a great developer ... these folks need to be supported.
Cheers

Final Cut Pro refuses to quit

This afternoon, I received my upgrade to Final Cut Studio. Diligently closing all apps (no idea why, but I do) I then inserted the install dvd and off we went.
On finishing the whole lot I took the time to reboot, just in case. Check to see if there were any updates (there were) and then opened up FCP and went to work.
Now I find I can't exit or quit FCP because I have a dialog that tells me: "You cannot quit Final Cut Pro while rendering a job for Compressor. Cancel or allow the job to finish and then quit Final Cut pro."
THERE ARE NOT JOBS RUNNING!!!!
Could someone; anyone shed some light on what is or may be happening, please? (No comments about a coven meeting in my machine, please!)
Many thanks

Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using.
Also what did you upgrade from and to as to FCP version numbers.

Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 freezes on output to VHS and other weridness!!!

Gents and Ladies,
First time poster...I feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside...really I do...
My Brand New G5 dual 2.7GHz blah blah blah is freezing up on out put to VHS. I am using a JVC SR-VS30 Mini-DV/SVHS dual deck.
Why VHS? I work for a school district and that's the cheapest stock possible.
Anyway... the board meeting tape I output last night all the sudden freezes after like 45 minutes of recording. It litterally screwed up right after I left the office last night. I actually stayed with it for 45 minutes and "held its hand" to make sure everything went along alright. Right after it left..."feeeze frame, freeze frame...now freeze..du du du na na na"...did you ever hear that song?
Anyway...to make a long story short...while watching the tape this morning...it was just stuck for like an hour like that. I turned it off after 30 seconds but after fast fwd'n the tape...it just kept recording like that.
Totally unbelieveable. I love how Macs need to rest before it starts to work. It grabs a cup of Joe and a bagel...reads the morning paper...returns a few emails...then it MIGHT be ready to work...if your lucky. And then...if your not looking...it'll randomly fail. I love that...so..what I do...is I try to trick it into working for me...yeah...I trick it...:)
Anyway...so I want to run Disk Warrior. My screen saver is turned off, my hard drives don't go to sleep, all the things you might think would cause it to go off line over the course of 3 hours... I have turned off. It would seem...at least to me...that when it tries to Auto Save the glitch kicks in.
The other thing is that I record the meetings on an NNovia Quick Capture HD DVR via Firewire. It has worked many times before...flawlessly. The copy is fine...the file in Final Cut is fine. It even previews to a TV monitor nicely...but on output...its choking on the toothpaste when rinsing.

G5 Dual 2.7ghz H2o cooled Mac OS X (10.4.4) Double dipping on RAM

O.K. cool.
I did change Auto Save before any of this even happens. I made all these very changes on my previous dual 2.0 G5. That machine...although much slower...always worked...never faultered...very dependable. Quite honestly the best Mac I ever worked on...until new versions of stuff came out and ruined all my fun.
I have changed all the pertinant settings...at least I thought.
Do any of you think I should ask for the upgrade to 5.0? Does it have any fixes in it that make it worth it? The new machine is what has made the bugs pop up. For a while it wasn't even recognizing my deck then one day it started working. Any thoughts on that... let me know. I am not a huge fan of the Dual JVC deck but it has worked pretty well. Now I use this DVR and it works really well for long running board meetings. At least VHS does what its told...:) With DV you always got to wonder if you've dropped some frames. Even if I am recording to a Hard Drive.
Before this gig I worked on the "last run" dual something G4 Quicksilver's and they all ran horrible. FCP3 and bugs everywhere. After that disaster I then jumped ship all together to a Canopus Premiere Pro system on a DVStorm2 Pro + card. That is a nice system. Great Chroma Key stuff. Now at this gig I have been working in Mac again. I was hugely surprised by how well the G5 performed. It did get a little slow for me eventually. Honestly my single P4 in combonation with the Canopus Realtime Preview Board really beat it up quite badly. Even that still had to render in the end but at least I could see everything while I was working. Render time was pretty fast in the end too. I think that has been my favorite DV Editing solution on PC.
I really like Final Cut Pro. I think it quick and dirty...just the way I like it. I started out learning on Avid and if the company I worked for used it...I would prefer that truthfully but I have been riding FCP for 3 years and counting and every place I work at is Mac so...I am totally on this boat.
Any opinions on the Intel stuff yet? I would be interested in perf as I would like to get a Mac system at home and sell my Canopus rig...all thought I do love it so.
BTW...no...no error messages at all...
...and I would've styaed with it last night if I didn't have to finally leave after another 10 hour day...tonight I have a 2 hour video after work and then Sat/Sun we have a huge music festival and that will 2 12hr days...so...if I didn't need sleep...I would'e been able to stay some more...
;)~
...Oh and I have a 250 GB Serial ATA system drive and a 250 GB A/V Storage drive.
FCP stuff on A/V Drive
iMovie/iDVD stuff on system
...has always seemed to run better like this.
Many thanks for the ideas and for any future input.
JB
