Preview out in Final Cut Pro 6, doesnt seem to be working

I have a cilent coming over in a few hours and im having some issues getting the preview out from my computer to my TV to work. I refreshed everything, and its set to "All Frames" but all i seem to be getting is a black screen.

  • Mini-Dvi to Video out from Final Cut Pro working

    Thanx Everybody for posting reply for my post regarding running video out to external TV from Final Cut Pro in MacBook.
    It's working fine.

    @ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
    @ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
    My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

  • OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

    Exporting a 93min 1920x1080 HD timeline to OMF
    5 second handles tried 2 second handles as well.
    OMF won't export out of final cut pro. Get error message there is a 2 gb limit.
    Final cut 6.0.6
    Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

    Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
    Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
    You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

  • Transcode in Media Encoder Straight out of Final Cut Pro. Possible?

    I have a Finished Final Cut Pro Timeline shot and Edited in 1440 x 1080i HD
    Is it possible to come Straight out of Final Cut Pro 7 and right into Adobe Media Encoder to Encode it as HD 1440 x 1080i?
    Will my Chapter Markers go with it?
    If not, What would be the best solution for this? I want to Encode it as HD 1440 x 1080i to be used in Encore to make it a Blu-Ray Disc.
    Thanks in Advance

    One solution would be to export, self contained from FCP, bring into Encore and re-create your chapter markers.
    Another is to export self-contained and bring into Premiere to re-create chapter markers.
    You can use XML to transfer your project into Premiere

    Based on what appears to be your Creative Cow question, you simply have to correct the image width for the problem clips using the Effects Controls / Motion panel. Or importing the clips individually and re-editing into the sequence may corrrect the pixel aspect problem.

  • My Final Cut Pro render files seem to end up in seemingly random locations.

    I find my Final Cut Pro render files seem to end up in seemingly random locations on the HDD. for example, they will appear in a sub-folder of an unrelated project. I would like my render files destination to be in a sub-folder for the project I am working on. How do you tell Final Cut where to put the render files? Can't figure it out.

    By default they are put inside your scratch folder, so if you change the scratch disk and forget to change it when you switch to a different project, your render files will be put inside the other project's scratch folder.
    You can change this by going to Final Cut Pro > System Settings. If you click the Set button below your current scratch disk (not the one next to it) you can assign a second location just for the video / audio renders if you desire (this must be on a different disk though).

  • Final Cut Pro 7.03 crashes, impossible to work with the system

    Hi,
    I have a mac pro with the following configuration:
    *2,4 Ghz westmere octa (mac pro 5,1)
    *24Gb Ram in 6x4gb FCM 1066MHz modules
    *DeckLink HD Extreme 3D video card
    *ATI Radeo HD 5770
    *NVIDEO Quattro 4000
    *Tempo Sata e2p esata controller
    I work a lot in final cut pro, but it crashes like every 5 minutes or even faster, sometimes i runs for 10 minutes without a crash. That is terrible and that 10k workstation is not usable...
    I already formatted the harddisk, re set up osx and fcs, installed every update for every part of my workstation but cannot fix it.
    Especially viewing clips as thumbnail galleries (video previews) and working with timelines where you have those little video thumbnails on every cut in the beginning of the clip and scrubbing around there leads to crashes.
    I mostly work on xdcam422 material at 220mbit and 280mbit recorded with the nanoflash, but also in prores422hq.
    Anyone an idea on how to fix this?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    Here the Maintainance Pack Log:
    This crash log suggests that Final Cut Pro was overloaded at the time of the crash. This can occur if your project is overly complex, has multiple Motion project layers or is using MPEG-based media (HDV, H.264, MPEG-2, XDCAM, AVCHD), particularly if you are using filters with such media. Note that overloading is more likely to be the cause of the crash than the reason below.
    Corrupt / Unsupported Media
    This crash was caused by corrupt media or media that is unsupported by Final Cut Pro. A common cause of this crash is using media on your timeline that is unsuitable for editing such as AVI, WMV or MPEG-derived codecs (XDCAM, HDV, MPEG-2, H.264).
    Suggested Actions
    Use Corrupt Clip Finder to locate the problematic clip and then recapture or attempt to repair it.
    If your sequence codec is set to an MPEG-based codec such as MPEG-2, HDV, XDCAM or H.264, change it to ProRes.
    Alternatively, and for best results, convert any MPEG-based media to ProRes.
    If the issue is related to a codec, upgrade the codec if an upgrade is available or consider transcoding your footage to an editing-friendly codec such as ProRes.
    If you are using CMYK images, convert them to RGB.
    More Information
    To improve the stability of your system, create a less complex "lite" version of your project, export embedded Motion projects as QuickTime movies and if you are using MPEG-based media such as H.264, HDV and XDCAM, set your sequence codec to ProRes or convert the media to the ProRes codec.

  • Final cut pro hd 4.5 doesn't work on my intel duo machine

    My final cut pro hd is about three years old. When I got a new mac pro, I ported everything including applications over.
    Not having used fcprohd for the last year, now, when I open the app in the intel machine, I get an error message asking for a later operating system, and an error message related to the video card. It works on my old power pc g4. Can I open and use final cut pro hd 4.5 on my intel duo processor machine, or do I need an upgrade? Is there an upgrade path to the newest version of fcpro which takes advantage of the duo intels?

    hey there bradsea,
    your version of FCP is not a Universal Binary. you'll need to upgrade to FCS2. there is an upgrade available if your version is not Academic. see this link:

  • HT201237 Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 not working under Yosemite

    I have Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and it stopped working under Yosemite. Are there any fixes or work arounds? Oddly enough, my copy of Final Cut Express 4.01 still works!
    MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011)
    12 GB RAM
    180 GB Intel 530 SSD

    I'm not seeing Final Cut in my purchases on this device ...
    However ...
    I did change my Apple ID a few times since 2012 (I kept forgetting it and also wanted to consolidate with my other Apple devices ... )
    I actually have Final Cut 10.0.8 installed on two computers. I updated Final Cut on the laptop last year to 10.1 .... but KEPT the old FCP version on the desktop because I liked it.
    However, since I updated to Yosemite on the desktop last week, Final Cut 10.8 will not open --- and I don't have an "update option" in the App store.
    Will this happen on my laptop if I update to Yosemite? That device is running Mountain Lion, I think.  But I would hate to also lose Final Cut 10.1 ... it's all I seem to have left.
    Do I have to purchase Final Cut again for both computers? Thanks very much for your help, it is very appreciated!

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.0.07 not working with Mountain Lion?

    I have just installed Mountain Lion on my computer two weeks ago, and just now I needed to use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to edit a video for a client.
    Every time I open FCPX it doesn't open normally.  It doesn't bring up it's normal purple background, just the wording.  And when it opens and I scroll over a video, it won't bring it up in the viewer.
    When I go to import footage, it opens the import window but it's just a grey screen.
    What can I do?  I need to have FCPX working by tonight!

    Use FCS Remover to trash the app and try reinstalling it.

  • How do I set my TV as a preview display in Final Cut Pro?

    I have a 30 inch LG Flatscreen connected via hdmi cable to my mac pro, but all I am able to do is mirror the two displays otherwise it is basically in active with a background only. I want to use it as a preview when I view my videos in final cut. I can preview it so that both screens are full screen, but I want one to be full screen all the time, any hints?

  • 1080i/24p to Film Out in Final Cut Pro

    A client of ours shot a project with the *Panasonic HVX-200* in 1080i/24p (not 1080i/24pa) and they are asking if they will have a problem with the footage when they output to film. They are using *Final Cut Studio 2* on an *8-core Mac Pro*.
    I told them to use *Cinema Tools* to reverse telecine the 29.97 footage back to the native 24p and they shouldn't have problems. They said I was wrong and that frames would be lost in the process. (Which I know isn't how 3:2 pull-downs work) They also said that they did this before and the 1080i footage they got from the HVS-200 P2 cards and FS-100's were already in 24p format when transfered. Is there a way that this was possible or am I missing something here?
    Thanks!

    You are right, they are wrong, very, very, very wrong. I'm going to copy and paste from another thread I just answered about this same issue:
    I am the author of the FS-100 DVD guide, work with Focus Enhancements closely, have many consulting clients using this system, and have been using the HVX200/FS-100/FCP system since the HVX200 shipped, and a cert'd trainer.
    As for FCP, here's the workflow. To start, make sure your HVX is set to 1080i/24PA. If it is set to 1080i/24P, you won't get 24p, you'll get 60i with the 24P effect. Just like on the DVX100. 24P results in a native 60i with the 24P effect, as 24PA has metadata that allows it to become progressive and 24P native.
    In FCP, bring in your footage with the Log & Transfer window, assuming you're on FCP 6. Any pre-6 version was super buggy with P2 data. Make sure the "remove advanced pulldown" is selected and import your footage. Ignore the "Compressor" that is referred to in the clips info (which is all the metadata), it will not say 1080p24, it only refers to the compression engine handling the footage, not the actual compression of the clip.
    In your project, delete any Sequences you have, in the FCP menu go to Easy Setup, and choose "DVCPRO HD - 1080pA24". Create a new Sequence and you're good to go. Simple as that.
    If you go to look at "Item Properties" for these clips, look at the "Vid Rate" field, it will be 24p. The "Compressor" field refers to an engine and has nothing to do with the actual format of the clip, ignore it. The 1080p30 you see as the "Compressor" simply means that the QuickTime 1080p30 engine is being used, and is perfectly capable of driving native 1080p24 footage.
    The lines you're seeing on 1080p24 are interlace lines, and are normal, as 1080p24 is, again, 60i with the 24p "effect". You have to record in, and edit in 1080pA24. There's a big difference.

  • Why is my audio cutting out in Final Cut Pro X?

    All the elemnets in the timeline now have random sound cut outs. Any ideas as to what may be causing this? Happens in playback and when rendered out.

    What audio is this? Camera audio? Something else? Comrpessed? MP3? AAC? AIFF 48k?
