Playback Lag when sending from Color to Final Cut Pro

Hi,
Im currently editing a video in Final Cut Pro 7, everything is fine i have everything layed out perfectly in my sequence, and it plays back fine etc.
I then send it to Color, once i have finished in color, i choose to render every clip, then once that is done i try to send back to final cut, but it tells me some of the clips arent rendered, yet i try several times with choosing them all to render and rendering them.
so after a while i ignore the warning and send it back to final cut, however once back in final cut the clips play extremley laggy, almost asif its about 10% the speed, but the audio is fine?
PLEASEEEEE help, this has never happend before
thanks

I mean IN FINAL CUT, not Color. In FINAL CUT, load the clip into the VIEWER, THAT is where you check the SCALE.

Trouble with the round trip from Color to Final Cut Pro

I have edited a home movie together. I then have sent the sequence to Color for grading and then after completing the Color changes and Rendering. I sent it back to Final Cut Pro. It starts out working fine but during the transfer process it stops at somewhere between 50% and 60%. It is during the "Importing XML Data" phase. It just sits there and does not change and I have to force quit to get out of it. The exact same thing happens when I try to round trip from Soundtrack Pro 2 back to Final Cut Pro. So I am unable to make use of the changes I make in these programs.
This is a round trip process that I have successfully made many times before. Nothing has changed. I am working in Final Cut Studio 2 with the latest updates on an Intel Mac. Any advice on how to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hard to say where the XML interpretation is getting lost... That it stalls at 60% could mean a number of things. If you have a cuts and dissolves simple timeline, that should not be an issue. Something is causing a corruption, though and it could be a media type, a filename (which can break folder paths), a filter or motion tab which generates an invalid value, or a recompression that violates the sequence settings.
At this point, I start cutting up the original sequence and roundtripping it until it works, or breaks and then try to figure out what's different. Often there's something hidden like an imbedded recompressor in a nested sequence or something like that, that will allow COLOR will load, grade, render, and then not know what to do to re-write the export XML, or re-imbed it illegally.
There are a lot of things that FCP does that editors take for granted that COLOR utterly cannot cope with -- but may deceptively carry along and then crash on the next step.

I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from. When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

Failed to send my project in final cut pro to compressor

I tried to send my project in final cut pro to compressor but when I go to file then see send to compressor it will not let me click on "send to compressor". I checked but none of my files are missing or anything and the project is only 4 minutes long. This has happened to me once before and it completely crashed my computer. I had to start out fresh which was a horrible process. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP?! (URGENT)What might I have done wrong that this happens? In the picture below, this happens and I have no idea why that is.

I suspect it's a FCP X issue rather than a Compressor issue.
Will FCP export a master file? Make a short section with the range tool and find out.
Tri reseting the zoo's preferences. Hold down the option and command keys when you launch to reset.

Color to Final Cut Pro issue

Hello all,
I've had an odd issue with color and Final cut today.
I just finished editing a multi-cam project which I sent over to color. I made all my adjustments and sent it back to FCP without any problems. However, some of the clips are now 'black' or 'void' of footage.
Looking at it closer it appears that the particular multi-cam angles is now void of content. The odd thing is I don't know why some clips are affected and other not, plus, when it goes black, it does so for exactly 13 frames every time at the start of the clip!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Sounds like you are having issues with your renders. Did you render (from queue) as Uncompressed 10 bit or ProRes?
I just finished the cert. course for Color today, and after a few days of delving into the software, it seems a tad "buggy". As a professional editor for 14 years, I certainly wouldn't trust taking a multi-cam edited seq into Color at this point. The less complicated the timeline in FCP, the less work and potential issues enter into the Color scenario. I don't think, at this point w regards to this version of Color, I would venture the risk in sending a multi-cam seq to it.
We discovered several small issues and bugs in the software and also their corresponding work-arounds over the last few days.
Altogether, however, this software is amazing and was originally a SGI program with a steep price tag. The fine tuned grading, color keying and tracking functions are amazing. I'm looking forward to a more streamlined osx like interface.

How can I playback blu-ray .img files generated by Final Cut Pro X?

When I share a Final Cut Pro X project in Blu-ray and I set the output device as Hard drive (blu-ray), it creates a blu-ray image with a .img extension.
By the way, the project's clips are AVCHD (.mts extension) and the settings are set to 1080i (1440x1080 25i).
My question is: can I playback this file without having to burn a blu-ray disc?
I've been looking for information, and some people seems to playback blu-ray .iso files.
And: would Compressor 4 solve my problem? (is there anyway in Compressor to create a .iso image or something easier to play?).
By the way, I do have access to both Windows and Mac computers.
Thanks in advance,
Pol

Thanks for the answer.
If you own Compressor 4, could you tell me if it includes an option to generate a .iso file instead of a .img?
(here's information on how to playback a .iso).
Thanks,
Pol

Error -108 in quick time x when I share movies in Final Cut Pro X

HI,
PLEASE NEED HELP!!!!
After install LION a problem came out when I try to "share" my proyects, the funny thing is that only fails when I "share" to iPhone and iPad!, when i "share" to MAC and PC (1080p) it works wreat. the ERROR CODE -108 from QUICK TIME came out.
I found that -108 means 'out of memory' but in my case is not possible (i think). I reinstalled the FCP X but the problem remain.
I want to reinstall Quick time X but looks like it can't be unistalled, so any idea?
Thanks!

What is the exact spec of the clips that cause the problem?
(Open one of the files with QuickTime and press Cmd+i to open the Inspector - then report back with the what it says).

PROBLEM WHEN CAPUTRING MINIDV TAPES IN FINAL CUT PRO X

OK, when I go to capture footage in final cut pro x, it works fine at times. Then when my computer starts to slow down a little bit, the footage im capturing ends of out of sync. How could I go about fixing this problem? Thanks

you mentioned several things here that needs checking:
why does your computer start slowing down? Is it memory, other processes running in the background or what else can be the cause of that?
What footage format are you capturing? How long is it?
Are you caputing all footage in one go or in several steps?
Audio sync can be done during editing, by separating the audio from the video. However, we need to find out the cause of the issue first, as we may be able to eliminate this unnecessary sync step in post.

Moving from Linux to Final Cut Pro, Need Help Creating Same Mpeg-4 videos

I am seeking to move into Final Cut Pro to develop these types of videos that I have previously been creating in Linux.
How can Final Cut Pro make these videos in the format specified below (OR VERY CLOSE TO IT)?
Please let me know what settings with screenshots, etc. will make final cut pro output in this way.

I look forward to your help, below are the details I've used in Linux, so please help me create these videos using Final Cut Pro.
I need this information by the end of the week.

Not likely.
Easiest solution is to produce your edited material in FCP and then move the fully rendered, self-contained movie, in whatever format you are producing, to your Linux machine and use its encoder/transcoder.
Compressor will do the job for MP3 and MP4 but you will need to purchase the DIVX codec or transport it to your Mac. You need to talk to DiVX and you need to open the manual for Compressor. Compressor is not easy to learn how to use i na day but whatever you were using on your Linux box was much more difficult to learn.

How to access videos from iPhoto in Final Cut Pro X

Hi,
is it possible to access all the videos stored in iPhoto directly from Final Cut Pro X, compareable to iMovie?
Any idea?
Thanks for any help.
rob

iPhoto and Aperture videos don't show up in the Photos browser in FCP X. Apple's directions (can't recall where I saw them) state to open both programs (FCP X and iPhoto) next to each other and then drag and drop the videos from iPhoto (or Aperture) to an event in FCP X.
Not how you'd hope it worked, but it works nontheless.

Hi,
I have problem with installation Final cut pro x (trial version)
When I installed and launch, it write me this:
The selected SAN location is already in use. The storage location "RAAF" on this computer is already in use by "RAAF" on "Pavels-MacBook-Pro". To access the location, quit Final Cut Pro on "Pavels-MacBook-Pro" or remove the location.
What I must do?
Thanks so much for you tips

Try repairing permission in the Disk Utility and rebooting,

How do I import from Canon XM2 Final Cut Pro X on a MacBook Pro?

How do I import from a Canon XM2 to MacBook Air using Final Cut Pro X or iMovie 11 please?

This is a miniDV camcorder. For this camcorder you must use Firewire.
If your MBP has Firewire 800, you need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
The camera must be plugged into wall power, not batteries only.
Set the camera to Play, and iMovie should recognize the camera and an import screen should appear.
