Project won't load in compressor when sent from FCPX???

Just purchased Compressor. It's not working!
When I click on "Add a File", it seems to work just fine loading in a video that I've already exported from FCPX into a .mov.
BUT, I haven't had luck sending a project from FCPX to Compressor to tweak before export to the web. This is what I get after clicking on "Send to Compressor":
It just sit there like this for several minutes, then Compressor closes on its own.
I went through the Compressor 4.1: Basic troubleshooting page and did everything on it...nothing helped. Yes, I did uninstall and re-install Compressor...still, no help.
I'm stumped.

Okay, Russ...I did some checking and here's what I came up with.
No, none of the projects that I have in FCPX are loading in compressor when I use "Send to Compressor"
Yes, I can export a master file of any of my projects and they will load into Compressor.
I'd prefer to send the project directly to compressor...seems like I'm adding an extra step by creating the Master File that might degrade quality just that tiny little bit if I do that. But I'm pretty new to this, so maybe that's not an issue at all.

Project won't load into compressor.

I'm trying to load a project into compressor and it is telling me that there are NO FILES associated with the project.
I haven't moved or chaged anything with this project and I have been burning DVD's recently from it.
I get the spinning ball when it asks me to find files. I checked the project and all the files are connected, no offline media.
I tried going into time machine and bringing the project back from some weeks ago and the same thing happens. within the same project in a different sequence, that will open successfully in compressor.
Any suggestions with this problem?

Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

IMovie 09 projects won't load HELP!

Hiya, i have searched all over theplace to try to find out why my projects wont load in IM 09, to no avail.
The below link seems to be the bestbit of information i have worked on.
I have no 3rd party plug in's in thequicktime folder.
I have deleted the last few moviesimported (despite the fact these worked and were later exported)
iMovie will load on another acct thati created, but wont be able to work with whats imported into this acct unless ire upload?
iMovie does start up, i see all myclips i have imported, but none of my projects won't load.
I do have a fair bit of footagethere, but it was working fine when i had a lot more in there (before deletingafter i had used it).
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1906531?threadID=1906531&tstart=0

I have had the same problem and found that if I opend up iPhoto where the videos were placed from, it cleared up the problem. Crazy, huh? Plus, you have to make sure that the iPhoto account is opened to the correct one...this is done by Option Clicking on iPhoto and choosing which account you have the active videos in.

I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones

I had an iPhone 4 and switched to LG G2 android. I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones. I've done everything Sprint and Apple have suggested - turned off imessaging, made sure the contact info on the other iPhones is plain mobile numbers, deactivated my iCloud account. Nothing is working. Anybody have any suggestions?

Issue with Emoji icons when sent from iOS6 to iOS5

Issue with Emoji icons when sent from iOS6 to iOS5, all icons appear as a square on the iOS5 message screen.
Both iOS are the current version and the phones are 4S 64GB
Anybody got this problem

Hi!
What kind of RFC do you use? If you use synchronous RFC the caller waits for the answer/result of the called function. In normal cases this should solve your issue.

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
Good luck!

Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

Project won't load after upgrade to 10.1.3

Howdy,
I'm working on a series of videos, each in a separate project, but all in the same library.
I did the bulk of the editing in 10.1, but recently upgraded to 10.1.3. FCPX did it's usual "update projects and events" routine when I opened the library in 10.1.3 for the first time. All my projects appear to be fine, except one...
This project is about 30 minutes long, with a handful of different clips – nothing huge... but it won't load. I get the spinning beach ball for a few minutes, then a system alert saying I've run out of application memory. I check Activity Monitor, and sure enough, FCPX is using over 12GB of RAM! It seems FCPX gets stuck in some sort of loop while trying to load this project, and I'm not sure what to do about it... Any help would be appreciated.
System info:
iMac
OSX 10.9.5
3.5GHz Core i7
16GB RAM

OK, I think I resolved my issue. I hadn't noticed that there was one missing media file in the project that wouldn't open. I didn't notice because normally, FCPX would open the project and swap a "missing media" icon for the absent file in the timeline, but in this case it simply refused to open the project. I re-imported the missing file, and now there are two of them in my media browser. If I delete any one of them, they both disappear... Odd.
In any case, my project opens now and that's good. What I don't understand is what happened to that missing file in the first place. I didn't delete it or move it. It seems to have been kicked out of the FCPX database upon upgrade to version 10.1.3, which by itself is a little troubling... and I fear there may still be similar database issues that I haven't discovered yet lurking in other projects
Here's hoping all of FCPX's "growing pains" get resolved soon.
Thanks for your help, Russ.

Some projects won't load full screen view?!?

I have about 10 projects (out of 130) that won't load in the full screen view if I enter the project and then try to enter full screen. The areas around the Aperture program window (menu bar and dock) turn black as if it were in full screen but the program window just sits there doing nothing as if I never clicked to enter full screen. If I try push F to exit full screen, the black disappears but my dock and menu bar do not return. At this point, I can't click on other projects and have to quit the program (just normal command-Q works fine) and re-open it to do anything.
What is strange is that if I click to view all my projects, enter full screen, and then double click on one of them that is giving me this problem, it will load the pictures fine. But it seems to hang up when I try to go to another project and I have to quit the program.
The 10 projects are all pictures taken within a 1 week trip and they include between 50-100 jpeg images each. They were imported into Aperture as part of my iPhoto library. No other pictures that came from iPhoto have this problem.
Things I have tried to fix the problem:
1. Repair permissions on library and system
2. Rebuild library
3. Export originals from iPhoto and import into Aperture as a new project
Any suggestions?
Edited to Add: If I double click a picture so it loads into "Viewer" mode, it seems to enter full screen mode fine when I press F, but the system hangs up and bogs down badly when I try to jump to another problem project from full screen mode. The Activity window says it's loading, but it never does. If I click on anything else, it just continues to say it's loading the first project I tried to switch to.

I have 4 GB of RAM in a 2.2 Ghz Santa Rosa MBP.
I don't believe it's an issue of needing to wait for it to load because it loads other projects perfectly. These 10 projects only have 50-100 jpegs (1.8 MB average file). I can enter and exit projects with 200 RAW files (5 MB average file) with absolutely no delay.
Additionally, it will never load the project. It will say it's loading in the Activity Window but never complete. I can't click to load anything else as the program basically locks up. But it's not really locked because I can Command-Q to exit and it closes properly.

Projects won't load

so i have been using iMovie a lot lately and have been satisfied with it. opened it one day and it suddenly won't load projects, so i deleted it then downloaded it off the app store (tried turning it off and on) once i turn on iMovie it "loads projects" and gives me the color wheel. the only thing i can do is force quit. any ideas?

I have had the same issue over the last couple of days. Imovie just doesn't load up for me. I tried trashing the preference/plist but it still doesn't respond. any solutions?

My sequence will not show up in Color 1.5.3 when sent from FCP 7

I cannot get clips from FCP 7 to show up when sent to Color. I had been able to get this to work perfectly fine earlier, but now for some reason, when sending a sequence from FCP to Color, Color doesn't automatically create a new project with the sequence in it. I've Googled for answers as much as I can, but cannot figure out what's going wrong.
By the way, the footage is from a Canon 7D, imported into FCP from PluralEyes 8.
EDIT: I've tried to manually export the XML from Final Cut into Color. Color will not even recognize the exported XML file. I've done what others have suggested online and deleted my Color & FCP preferences files out of my User/Library. I've created new FCP projects and tried to send to color from a new project. None of these have helped at all.

I just had this exact same problem. Clips from my FCP 7 sequence would not show up when I sent them to Color 1.5. No way. No how.
I solved my problem (at least for now) by simply restarting my machine. I realized that it had been running for days, and it probably just needed a reboot. Try it. It might work.
And yes, I'm running Mountain Lion, too. 10.8.2.
Good luck! ----Todd Ruel

Should I be concerned with losing existing data (projects or events) when updating from FCPX to FCPX 10.1?)

I purchased a Macbook Pro loaded with FCPX from a private party. I now want to update from FCPX to FCPX 10.1 should I be concered about losing my exhisting projects and events? The previous version of FCPX is registered to another person and wondered if this could potentially overwrite anything. I backed everything up to another drive but, just wondered if anyone has done this sucessfully?

The project files are put where FCP X wants to put them. If you render anything, it puts the rendering where it wants to put it.
FCP X has three opportunities to lose something - it can't find your project, it can't find the event, the event can't find the media. We see it on this forum all the time and right now 10.1 is managing all that and screwing it up for some people. We see FCP X updating events and projects...
With Motion 5, I put my project file where I want - in a folder for that project. In that same folder, I have all my media. It's not necessary to have a feature where it moves my files for me to another drive, etc. I simply drag that folder anywhere I want and all the links are in tact because the links are relative.
With FCP X, even if I don't copy the media to the events folder and leave it where I want, it still creates a folder with its own hierarchy - Backups, Old Versions, Original Media, Render Files, Transcoded Media...
FCP X's method opens people up to more problems, obviously. You don't see people on the Motion forum talking about how Motion moved media or put it in the trash etc. The only thing that can happen is the small XML project file can't find the media and so you simply relink and you can use Spotlight for that.
Seems like there are more headaches with FCP X's method.
