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.

  • Problem importing a MiniDV video on Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    I'm using a MacBook Air with OS X version 10.9.2 and Final Cut Pro X trial version 10.1.1. I am trying to import a miniDV tape using a Samsung miniDV Camcorder but I'm having trouble doing it. FCP recognize the camara as a DV and it sends the play, rewind, fast foward and stop funtions to the camara without problem but when I tried to import the video nothing happen. I can watch the tape in the playback function of the camera without problem but can't do it in the Mac.
    I have already import 2 tapes but I don't understand whats the problem with this one. Can any one help me?
    Thanks

    Hi Russ
    I am capturing directly to my MBA.
    When I click import the playback on the camera starts but the screen on the Mac is black. After a few seconds everything stops. It doesn’t import anything.
    As I told you, this is the third tape I am importing and I don’t know whats happening.
    Thanks,

    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.

    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.

  • How do I print to tape in final cut pro x

    I am using final cut pro x, and the previous version of final cut, I could print to tape. Im not sure on how to do this with the newest version, can someone help me please?

    Hello Randy,
    This doesn't help you much now, but on the Matrox website it mentions that one of their devices will be able to print to tape from the FCPX timeline...it says "Coming Soon".   Hopefully this is sooner than later.

  • What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

    Hi there
    I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
    Any advice greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Just to add two suggestions.
    1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
    2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)

I'm running a mid 2009 mac mini with a (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB, and 8 GB of memory). Any help would be appreciated.

  • 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
    phill

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

  • When booting up 10.7, Final Cut Pro automatically opens

    After updating to 10.7, I find my Mac automatically opens Final Cut Pro every time I power up. It's more annoying than anything, but I can't figure out why this is happening. Any suggestions?

    I suppose you mean 10.5.7, rather than 10.7...
    To get to your question.
    Strange that it happened, but have a look at Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login items.
    I suspect FCP to show there.
    Select FCP and press the '-' button. to stop FCP automatically startup at Login....
