Playing off the Timeline via firewire( XdCam pal) Monitoring Issues

Hey,
I have just switched to FCP and have found that when recording the from the FCP timeline manually via firewire into a Sony XDCam PDW530 I experience 4:3 flashes in the Camera monitor and viewfinder as the timeline plays down Video Transitions. All effects have been rendered (Blue line above transition)
However the Camera appears to record correctly to disc. I played the recorded material from the camera via an XD deck into a wide screen monitor and all appears fine the 4:3 flashes are not present on transitions. play the disc back in the camera and the 4:3 flashes for the duration of the Video Transitions return????
when playing out of the Camera via SDI and Analogue Composite outputs into a wide screen monitor all appears ok as well.
It's a little odd that you cannot monitor the output correctly on the XDcam. If i change the pull down settings from 2323 to 2332 it monitors the transitions correctly but the video aspect is somewhere between 4:3 and 16:9.
Shoot in 16:9 Capture DV Pal, Edit DV Pal, Playback Output Apple FireWire Pal (720 x 576)
Any ideas????

Thanks Shane,
We have been down the PRINT TO VIDEO road with the same playback issues in the XD Camera's LCD screen. We still see the 4:3 transition on the 16:9 image when playing off the timeline / playing back the recorded media in the camera and viewing on cameras screen .
I guess this is only a monitor issue. If you don't include any video effects it plays down 16:9 perfectly in the cameras monitor
What is recorded onto the disc is fine.
Also my understanding is the what's coming off the timeline is a DV stream so not sure how the GOP format comes into play. Recording onto a XD Cam off the timeline thru other edit programmes has never been an issue. I have come from Avid Pinnacle and the monitoring of transitions was never an issue when streaming back to the xdcam.
Thanks

Audio won't play off the timeline

I have been working with a 17min. project shot in HDV and edited w FCP 6. I have tried a few different ways to get it out to DVD Pro through Compressor. I also tried to convert it from HDV to DV so I could take it back out to tape as a DV project. I went back to the project and tried to do another compressed version for DVD after being unsuccesful converting it to DV. So when I went to Compress it to a DVD there was no audio on the DVD. I went back into the FCP project and found that the audio does not play off the timeline anymore. The audio waves are still on the timeline and when I double click on the timeline it plays in my viewer. i checked the audio outputs but the audio is not showing on the LEDs in the audio mixer. Did something get changed because of my trying to export it?

If none of the above suggestions work toggle on the Audio Controls speaker icon (see image below) and if the speakers icon appear yellow single click them (same action can be performed in the audio mixer.

Playing movies off the Internet via Apple TV?

Is it possible to play a movie or a programme off the Internet via Apple TV?
I've managed to get the audio playing through Apple TV but the video is only showing on my iPad.
Thank you.

There is a specific tag in the website's HTML markup that specifies whether or not a movie is Airplay enabled or not - if it's disabled, only audio transfers even if the video is in a compatible h264 format. That tag needs to be set by the website owner.

Not playing in the timeline on playback

New HD camera. Capturing fine. But not playing the timeline back in the camera. Did the whole refresh A/V devices and view..external video...all frames.
Am I missing something in FCP?

YOu are missing nothing. Can't do it.
#25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
Shane's Stock Answer #25 - HDV external Monitor Viewing
To view HDV on an external monitor you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink or AJA offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed.
HDV cannot be played out of FCP via Firewire because it's Long GOP structure is too taxing on your processors to spare the system resources needed to drive an external monitor.
The best option you have is the Matrox MXO...$1000.

How do I get the beeping to stop when playing in the Timeline?

This is probably one of the most elementary questions, but for some reason I can't seem to figure out - or find in the documentation - how to get FCE to stop beeping when I play something assembled in the timeline.
In other programs I've tried (Adobe Premiere Pro for example), you hit the space bar and it plays - with audio in-tact and in sync. Here, I hear a steady beep.
Doing some research, I found that this might have something to do with unrendered audio; the problem is, every time I try to render audio with this program, as soon as it finishes it locks up BEFORE the audio file is written to the disc. And I've let it sit for over five hours - nothing.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Max. The original video came from a DVD which I ripped via HandBrake. I then, after three days of googling and finally getting an answer from some one on this forum, re-exported the resulting MPEG4 into a DV format file through MPEG Streamclip.
After reading that it needs to be in 48k format, I re-exported from MPEG Streamclip and this time, hit the option for "Resample to 48k". I brought it back into FCE and put it on the timeline, but still needed to render.
This time, I watched the folder the render sequence file went into. As soon as it finished, the render file DISSAPEARED. I'm assuming it was moved or deleted but I don't know where it could have been moved to.
Trying to use anything in the FCE interface now results in the application locking up. I can't exit it or use it at all - it's force quit or let it sit (which as I said, I've let it sit for 5+ hours earlier).
Prior to starting that render, I set the permissions on the folder ~/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/ to read and write using Finder and applied it recursively (to all sub-folders). So there aren't any permissions problems.
Honestly, I want my money back for this program. This is unacceptable. Any Apple technicians want to give a crack at this?

No Audio when imported and played on the timeline

I imported with a panasonic DVM100B using a canopus ADVC-100 and RCA cables I have ordered a 9pin to 4pin firewire.. The capture files plays video and audio from Quick Time and will play when put in iMovie. The audio will not play when imported into Final Cut Studio HD upgrade and placed on the timeline. The Audio track shows peaks when open and the audio meter shows movement when playing the track.
Any suggestions

Thanks for the info. I went back to the audio and video settings and the audio output and playback is now on default. It is working except I had to render all imported files.

How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.
Thanks,

If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

Help!!! Why Don't symbols play in the timeline?

I have limited Flash experience in CS 3 and 4 but I got CS 5 and built an animated movie symbol and I tried everything I could think of but it would not play in the main timeline. To sum it up the animations and tweens work in the symbol but they do not appear in the main timeline. Please help!

Can the MBP 13 boot into earlier versions of the OS via firewire?

Apologies if this is addressed elsewhere, but I can't find a definite answer.
I have the current v. of the MBP 13 (just purchased this week.) I would like to use it to boot into 10.4.x on an external drive via firewire. I've tried every which way, and it just doesn't seem to want to do it.
(I can select the disk/system in the start up disk pane, but the result is a stalled blank screen and the operation has to be aborted. The external disk also appears when starting with the option key, but when I click on it, the cursor freezes.)
This used to work perfectly with my old intel white macbook. It appears that the new MBPs can't boot into previous OSs. Is that the case? I just want to make sure it's not something I'm doing wrong.
(The reason I want to do it is that my admittedly old Adobe stuff (Photoshop/Dreamweaver/etc) won't run with 10.6 and I can't afford to upgrade it at the moment. I can still use those programs with the old macbook but it is quite literally crumbling to pieces on my lap despite layers and layers of duct tape and it's not gonna last long.)
So: can the MPB 13 boot into earlier OSs or not? Anybody know?

Is that the case?
Yes.

How stop the timeline via code for some seconds?

Hi NG,
how can i stop the timeline for some seconds? Is there any code exaple for me?
Thanks...
TELLO

What about using some javascript timing events maybe something like this should work:
function resumePlay() {
     sym.play();
function stopPlay(secs) {
     sym.stop();
     setTimeout(function(){resumePlay()},secs * 1000);
// stop the default timeline for 3 seconds
stopPlay(3);
NOTE: this example ONLY stops the default timeline where the code is inserted. If there are other symbols playing independently, they won't stop. Also, notice it's an asynchronous call, so if an event occurs during the time lapse and triggers a "play" action, the animation will resume immediately.

I have a HDMI connected TV, the HDMI is used for the cable also, I need to use a splitter, but it will only select what is powered on. How can I turn OFF the iTV via the remote?

I just received my iTV and am just setting it up. The Panasonic HDTV only has one HDML imput. The Uvirse box has a HDML output as well as a optical output. I am using an older Bose sound system which works very well.
I purchaced a HDML splitter which will allow me to use both. How do you turn OFF the iTV box when you are trying to watch the Cable?

thats as much off you can turn it

I have the new macbook pro from late 2011. when i try plugging my cannon gl2 into the mac via firewire 800 it does not show up in iMovie as an option to import from. i even have gone into my settings on the camera and changed it to vcr.

I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?

I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.

Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

2nd iMac...can I connect the 2 via firewire to initially share photos?

I have a 2nd iMac in my home now and want to keep an updated version of my photos on both. Initially, is there a way to connect the 2 to transfer pics faster than plugging 2nd iMac in and transferring them via shared files over Bonjour? Thanks for the help...

If you have a home network you can transfer files using file sharing. Turn file sharing on from the Sharing preferences pane. For help select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "sharing" or "file sharing."
