Project too new for final cut 6.0.2 error message
My colleague at work has edited a rough cut on her Quad Core Intel computer. I'm using a Power Mac G5, and was able to download the project onto my desktop, but I get this message every time I try to open it: "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut." We're both using FCP 6.0.2, I've done all the software updates I can, but I still receive the message. Does anyone know what I can do?
Did the person use the same workstation you are using? If you have the other person's volume mounted on your desktop, and you are definitely running the same OS, and you have the same version of FCP, then try opening the original file, not a copy. If it opens, do a *"save as"* instead of using a duplicated copy of the project.
Also, if they are using a different workstation, they may have another 3rd party component installed that they used, (maybe a filter or codec), that would interfere with it opening. The best way to make sure FibreJet works seemlessly in a multi-station work environment is to make absolutely sure that every station is a clone of the others. If you do an update on one, you have to do it on all. If you add an application, make sure you add it to all stations.
If you are using a different workstation, try to open it with the other station, then mount your desktop to that station through the LAN, and do a *"save as"* to your desktop, then try opening it from there.
Of course, do all this after trying to zip it before copying it. It only takes a second and would eliminate one aspect of the possible problem.

HDR CX7 with Final Cut Express gives me error message
A couple of days ago I got Final Cut Express 4. When I tried to log and transfer clips with my Sony Handycam HDR-CX7, all the clips were there on the Log and Transfer screen and I could play them and all, but when I added them to my queue, it loaded for a few seconds and then an error message came up in the status screen with a little red exclamation mark. It said, "Error: No Data" My camera works fine with iMovie, but final cut won't work with it. HELP!
There are a number of different causes for the red exclamation mark. Please to a forum search and see if anything helps you.

Final Cut to soundtrack pro - Error message
Hi all, I've been using soundtrack pro to edit a FC movie. On trying to apply it back into the movie I get an error message wich to me is
total gobbley gook, it reads.
NS range Exception.
Cannot remove an Observer <Audio File Envolope Track Leader View>
for the key path "meter Jack Order" from
<NSUser Defaults 0x1090600> because it is not registered as an observer
What do I have to do to apply the edited file back into my FC project?You are pushing the envelope working in fcp6 in Mavericks. Did you do a clean install of Mavericks and FCP? That's usually the way to get a stable system. Here's a user tip on Installing OS and FCP
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
As a workaround, can you just save an aiff in soundtrack pro and bring that in to fcp? -
Final Cut 7 Exporting - GENERAL ERROR Message
Been working on this for days now and it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to export a 22-minute long sequence. These are my export settings:
FCP 7
File -> Export -> Quicktime Conversion
Format: MPEG-4
Options:
File Format: MP4
Video:
Video Format: H264
Data Rate: 25,000 (approximately - it might be a little more or less to get it to 2GB)
Image Size: 1280X720
Frame Rate: 29.97
Key Frame: Every
Frames: 3
Video Options:
Restrict Profiles to: Main
Encoding Mode: Faster (unless you want to spend a couple of days rendering)
Audio:
Format: AAC-LC
Data Rate: 320
Channels: Stereo
Output Rate: 48.000 kHz
Encoding Quality: Best
I keep getting a General Error message. I've tried everything. Settings are kosher, I've rendered every single clip, full timeline renders perfectly well, I export just small segments and that works, don't know what to do.
Suggestions?Yeah, it has to be a settings issue. Just won't let me export something that large. I threw in the quicktime file of the last portion into the timeline with the rest. General error once again at 80%. So I know it's not something in the actual sequence.
If it exports as a quicktime, and then it exports in three broken up segments without a hitch, there must be something that's not allowing me to export a file that large.
Any clues? -
Final Cut Freezing and giving error messages
FCPX is slow and unresponsive and when I drag clips into a project I sometimes get a message that the project cannot be saved, but mostly I get what you see below. Before you ask, it's not full, it is available, nothing has moved or changed. Any thoughts? this comes up constantly.

I finished adding my transtions to my timeline. I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?
What Happened?
No way for us to know. But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem. The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted. This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
First, make sure your system is running correctly. Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file. Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it). Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE. It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions). You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action. -

I re installed my Final Cut express software, now when I go to use my "halo" and "arrow" application I get a message that says the file format is too new for this version of the application. Anybody have suggestions?
After install, did you go to Apple menu > Software Update to update your FCE to the latest version?

I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
Thank you.You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
2) Click the button in bottom left of your window:
3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project. -
Sorry I'm new to Final Cut Express. How do you make an image (jpeg file for example) move across the screen slowly as I've seen in many films.

Hello:
Why is there no disc for Final Cut Pro X?
Is there one coming?
Can and how do I move the downloaded application from my old machine to a new computer?
Thanks!You purchase FCX in the Mac App Store, there is no disc. You can reload past purchases under your account within the app store. You should also be regularly backing up your system

I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project. Can Apple Motion 4 remove them? If not can anyone recomment any plugins for Final Cut Pro or Motion that can remove them. Thanks!!
In Motion 5 there is a plugin from CoreMelt called "SliceX" that does this. But I don't know anything in Motion 4 that will do it. You may get more help posting in the appropriate "Final Cut Studio" section of this forum.

New Canon EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro
Just thought your would like to know. From canonrumors.com
http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/04/canon-updates-e1-plugin-for-fcp/
Canon today announces the latest update for EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro – the company’s custom-developed software application that provides quicker and easier editing of EOS Movie footage in Apple’s Final Cut Pro software suite.
Launching to coincide with the start of the 2011 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will make the importing of EOS Movie files even easier, allowing users to transfer files from any folder, without needing to mirror the folder structure on the camera itself.
The update also enables smoother importing from Canon’s EOS 7D, EOS 5D Mark II and EOS-1D Mark IV models, allowing users to import footage without requiring the THM file generated by the camera.
Originally launched in February 2010, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro is designed to quickly and seamlessly convert EOS Movie footage from Canon’s leading range of EOS DSLR cameras to Apple’s high-quality ProRes 422 codec. The plug-in allows users to convert footage at approximately twice the speed of Apple’s standard conversion, creating a smoother workflow for the rapidly growing number of videographers shooting HD video content on DSLR cameras.
EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will be available to download for free from 25th April 2011.And I just spent over an hour yesterday explaining to a client how utterly essential it was to maintain the exact folder structure for proper log & transfer:/
If I say that once a day to students, I say it a thousand times.
On top of that I just started Carbon Copy Clone today with all my updates in my editing lab. Not the end of the world but it's a little time consuming on 80 stations. Oh well.
