Preview and logging window in FCE 4.0 HD

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick question:
I'm learning FCE from the Diana Weynand book at the moment.
My problem is I don't see the Preview and Logging windows when I am capturing from my Canon XH A1s.
I'm using FCE 4.0 HD.
SL 10.6.8
Canon XH A1s
2008 24" iMac.
Thanks in advance.
Michael.

When capturing HDV with FCE you will only have a simplified capture window and clips will be broken at the shot changes after capture.
This is normal.
Capturing DV will give you the Capture window with more features.

Preview and TextEdit windows continuously lose focus

Preview and TextEdit windows keep losing focus.
In other words, I select the window, but them moments later it deselects itself (title and traffic light buttons grey out).
The app's menu is still visible (ie it still appears as if Preview or TextEdit is the active app).
But if I do single-app-expose, no windows appear at all and I just see a blank screen (ie as if the app doesn't have any windows open at all).
So it's almost as if the app isn't aware it even has windows open?
Anyone else have this? Any ideas for a fix?

I'm not sure of the name or if it is even accessable from system monitor. I had the same issue with the daemon relanching the app and ended up uninstalling everything until there is a fix. I believe the last update is from 2009 so it's not in active development and chances of an expedited fix aren't great. I wrote an email to axiotron the same day as my oruginal post here and have not received a response yet.
While a complete uninstall is more of a trade off than a solution it may be the only 'fix' for the time being. To uninstall you may need to run an app from within the installation dvd or disk image.
I'm not near my mac right now but will double check some things in a bit and post if I discover anything new and useful. In the mean time you can check for options within your app that may disablethe autostart feature. This doesn't exist in Quickscripts so I was forced to either uninstall or deal with the bug and not use textedit and preview.....I chose to uninstall of course.

Poor video playback in Encore 2.0 preview and monitor window . . .

I'm having a strange issue with my video playback in the preview and monitor windows. At some points it displays as blocks (like digital noise). I unchecked the "Automatic" option in the A/V Output dialog as described in the manual. Still, nothing changed.
To make sure it was Encore that had the problem, and not the file, I played my MPG2 files through PowerDVD, and nothing wrong with the playback in there. What is Encore 2.0 doing? How can I fix this problem???
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

What Mouse drivers are you using please?
This might sound silly, but under 1.5 (Different preview engine, true, so this may be completely wrong) I found that with a later revision of the MS Intellipoint drivers, I had exactly the same issue.
We worked this out by realizing the green blocks appeared as soon as the mouse was moved. As with your cases, the discs still burned true proving it is a preview related issue.
Uninstalling & reverting back to version 4.1 made it all go away.
But since the preview engine is now the PPro one, this might not work any more.

BUG - Structure and Log Windows cannot be accessed anymore

Hi,
FYI
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.3 under Fedora 4.
At some point I tried to locate "structure" window on another position by dragging it, it freezed (only a blue background was visible in this state). I restarted JDeveloper and the "structure" window was missing. I tried View-> Structure but nothing happened. Anyway there wes some error stacktrace, but I lost it. After some time I lost "log" window in similar manner! This time there was nothing dumped in the console (I'm not sure the stack trace I saw first time was relevant to the problem ).
Thanks
Pavel

Pavel,
as you can imagine, bugs are easy to file if the problem reproduces. Otherwise its pretty hard to guess what the problem is. Next time you see a stack trace, can you copy and paste it here ?
thanks

Can't get preview/logging window to open in Log and Transfer

Hello- Running FCP7 on Mac Duo Quad Core Nehalem, OS 10.6.
Hopefully really simple solution to this. Doing a Canon 5D workflow in FCP. So bring in via Log and Transfer. I've got the plug-in installed.
Up to this point it's been going smooth - open up log & transfer, select volume/files, everything's loaded in and up UNTIL tonight, the righthand side preview and logging windows have also opened up, and I've done my viewing and clip naming in there. But for some reason it's now opening up the just lefthand side volume browser and drag down transfer window, but NOT the righthand side. Any ideas?
Thanks, Nick.

Hi -
Did you accidentally swipe it to the side?
There is a pane size bar in the middle of the window, if that gets dragged to the right the preview window will be hidden:

Grab it with your cursor and pull it back to the center

Hope this helps.

Camera is not Appearing in Log and Transfer Window

Hello All,
I feel like I should be able to solve this on my own, but I'm stuck. I've been using a Cannon HF S10 (AVCHD) for a few months. Up until about a week ago when I have connected the camera to my iMac and opened the Log and Transfer window all of the clips on the camera have appeared, but now they don't. I had this happen another time with a different camera and and after trashing the FCE preferences I was able to see the clips in the L&T window. So I trashed the FCE preferences, but this time I still do not get the clips in the L&T window.
The camera mounts to my desktop and also appears in Finder, so I tired clicking on the "Add Folder" button on the top left corner of the L&T screen and adding "CANNON". This did not produce the clips in the L&T widow. I also tried to add the folder that is one level down labeled "AVCHD", but this did not work either.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
Marc

Ok...nevermind. All of the thumbnails appeared. There are a lot of clips on the camera, so I'm guessing that this is the reason for the lengthy loading time.

AVCHD Clips Showing Up Black in Log and Transfer Window

I'm doing some work for a client with some footage shot on a Sony NX5U. I'm trying to ingest the AVCHD clips into FCP 7.0.3 via the Log and Transfer window. I can pull up a list off all the clips in L&T and some of the clips work. Numerous other clips though, just show a black screen and have no audio. You cannot play the video in the preview window, although the box that shows the duration of each clip does show a time for each clip selected, so it must see something there. If I try to add any of the problem clips to the transfer queue, it tries for a few seconds to transfer the clip, then it gives the error with the red exclamation mark and stops. All the other clips transfer fine.
I'm fairly certain that the problem is something with FCP because I can load the same clips into adobe premiere without any issues. I can also watch all of the same files in VLC player, so the problem doesn't appear to be a corrupt file or anything of that sort. I've tried the same steps and had the same results with the files on a memory card and the files copied off to my hard drive. I did receive the memory card from the client and did not shoot the footage myself, so its possible that something was messed up on his end, but the file structure appears to all be in tact, as near as I can tell.
Here are a couple things I've already tried that didn't appear to help
--Trashing the preferences to FCP
--Switching the transfer codec from Apple Pro Res to AIC
--Changing the scratch disks from an external hard-drive to the internal drive
Any suggestions anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated! I have transferred footage off this camera before with no issues, so I'm not sure why it's having problems now

we're all the files shot in the same format? Not all formats are compatible with fcp. If you can bring the files into premiere, you can use the adobe media encoder to convert to prores and then work with them in fcp. The interface on the adobe media encoder is not particularly intuitive at least in CS 5.5. I use it for this kind of thing every few months and every time I have to figure it out again. May be early onset alzheimers, but I don't think so.

AVCHD Import Error In Log And Transfer Window

Hey,
I just bought FCE4 and also a canon hf100 camera. When i try to ingest clips from the camera (in avchd format) with the log and transfer window an error icon comes up and says : "error: no data" and the file is not successfully imported. I tried switching my audio preferences to normal stereo instead of matrix but that did not help.
Any help would be great!
Jackson

What format exactly did you shoot with that camera? What settings are you using in FCE?

Cannot reconnect to Canon HF11 in Log and Transfer window

I am using a Canon HF11 HD camcorder with FCEHD and was able to view, log and transfer clips into FCE without a problem. I saved the project on FCE but when I came back the first time, it told me that several clips were missing and could not reconnect to the media. When I came back a second time, now it will not recognize the camera in the log and transfer window. Anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

I was having the same issue with a Canon HF S100. What seem to work for me was connecting the camera AFTER I opened the Log and Transfer window. Read my complete description on this thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9573812#9573812.

Why won't Express find my camera in the Log and Transfer window??

I plug my Sony DCR45 Hard Disk Drive camera in. I switch it to USB connect mode, and then I enter the Log and Transfer window. I wait a good 15 to 20 minutes each time and it just won't locate my camera! How can I fix this?

Well, your camcorder is not AVCHD, HDV or DV, so Final Cut Express is not going to 'see' your camcorder.
Sony's specs on this camcorder leave something to be desired, but it does say the camera records MPEG2-PS. If this is the case, you will need to convert the video to DV or Apple Intermediate Codec before importing it into FCE.
For most purposes, MPEG Streamclip can do the conversion however with MPEG2 material it needs the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($20) which you can buy & download from the Apple Store.

How Do I Convert Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview to Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview and Back Without Reinstalling Windows?

Howdy,
Much like in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Windows 10 provides you with experience that allows you to convert your Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview to Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview without having to reinstall Windows.
Why would I need converting my Windows SKU (edition)
Currently, you may need this to fix issues with Windows not synchronizing browser favorites between different editions. For example, if you're using Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview in a test environment at work and Windows 10 Pro Technical
Preview at home, you won't see favorites added on Enterprise edition at home and vice versa. All the links added on Pro edition while browsing web at home won't appear on your work PC.
To convert Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview to Windows 10
Enterprise Technical Preview:
1. Press WindowsKey+PauseBreak and select Add Windows Features at the bottom left corner of System window.
2. In the Add features to <OSName> window click to add Product key and type in the
public product key for Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview available here.
Voila! Your Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview is now converted to Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview.
To convert Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview:
Following the above procedure does NOT reveal Add features to Windows 10 link button in System window.
We could try doing this through DISM tool.
1. Press WindowsKey+X and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin).
2. At the command prompt type dism /online /Get-CurrentEdition to obtain information about the current edition of Windows:
PS C:\Windows\system32> dism /online /Get-CurrentEdition
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.9926.0
Image Version: 10.0.9926.0
Current edition is:

The operation completed successfully.

3. Check which versions you may switch to:
PS C:\Windows\system32> dism /online /Get-TargetEditions

Image Version: 10.0.9926.0
Editions that can be upgraded to:
(The current edition cannot be upgraded to any target editions.)
The operation completed successfully.
Looks like Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview cannot be downgraded.
To downgrade edition from Enterprise to Pro, you can trick Windows setup into thinking it is running on Pro by going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and changing the following keys:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"EditionID"="Enterprise"
"ProductName"="Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview"
I believe for Pro edition this must be
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"EditionID"="Professional"
"ProductName"="Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview"
After that you may run in-place upgrade using Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Setup disc.
Note, if you can't find the Add features to option in Control panel, press Windows Key + R and type control /name Microsoft.WindowsAnytimeUpgrade.
If you want to, you could change Windows edition via DISM servicing tool by running:
DISM /online /Set-Edition:Enterprise /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula
In case you can't access official page for
Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview download, or the page that contains
product key for Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview, you can always obtain the product key by looking for
F:\sources\pid.txt on the Windows Setup disc.

I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

Is it possible to resize the log and capture window?

Hi,
Using Final cut pro, I would like to make my capture window a bit bigger while capturing. I am capturing footage via my Blackmagic Infinity card and get the input through an HDMI cable. I'm capturing in Apple Pro ress on 720p, 59,59 fps.
For a good overview of what I'm capturing at the moment, I would love to have a bigger capture window. For all I know, FC pro doesn't support the resizing of the log and capture window. Anyone an idea on how to solve this?
Thank you.

In my case, the capture window is adjustable if I am capturing SD (DVCAM) video. I can also use the scopes in this case. (Good if you are recording to disk, or using a laptop for monitoring.)
However, both features (adjustable capture window and scopes) are not available if capturing HD (HDV in my case) video.

Windows Deployment Services PXE Installation of Windows 10 Preview and Server vNext Technical Preview Failed

The automated answer file associated with Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview x64 (9481) and the Windows Server Technical Preview x64 (9841) seem to be incompatible. No problem adding both wim files to WDS, this completes without issue.
When trying to install both the Server vNext Technical Preview and Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview Via Network Installation (PXE) both encounter errors. The Server PXE Installation wont even commence after choosing the vNext Operating system installation,
and choosing the Windows 10 operating system encounters a "answer configuration error" towards the end (maybe the generalization pass?).
Anyone have a work around for configuring the answer file? or maybe a more positive experience?

We're playing around with Windows 10 TP and Server vNext also. For Windows 10 TP i got PXE based deployment running with unattend.xml from Windows 8.1. But i still did not get Server vNext deployment working.
I would also be happy if there's somebody out who has an idea on that topic.
