Reconnect issues w/FCP 6 with "phantom missing clips"

Ok folks it's kinda hard to describe in a concise way what's going on so please bear with me.
We are working with FCP6 on multiple machines.
We have one master project file that Edit 1 houses.
We work on the other machines on a copy of that master project file and bring in the work sequences into the Edit 1 master project as they are completed.
We do this a lot and move sequences around.
Ever now and then we have serious reconnection to media issues on the main machine where when I go to reconnect a sequence to the media files it will bring up a ton of "blank" or "phantom" clips in the missing files box in the reconnect window. Basically instead of a list of clip names that FCP wants me to reconnect it will list a batch of clips that are blank with no txt and therefore we have no way of connecting that media.
Has anyone experienced this issue before and how have you worked around this?
any help very much appreciated and if you need more info to understand what the **** I'm talking about then please let me know!

I've never been able to truly get that to happen properly.
Over the break I will give that one more shot.
On the two main systems we work with we do have the same size and config of drives etc so it can be achieved. I'll take a look at that option over the break and see if I make make it happen.
I do take the project home at times and media manage the footage into a much smaller drive to work on sections of the project so in that case there's no way around it. Although I guess if I keep the naming and folder structure the same it's possible. I'll give that a try too.
thx.

Export trouble with FCPX - missing clips

Puzzled by problems exporting from FCPX.   Video of a couple of clips disappear, and only shows black.   Audio is OK, tho.
It's 4:30 in length. Most clips are on main storyline, except for a few cut-aways.   Not doing anything special, except for a couple of dissolves.   Format is ProRes 422 HQ.   Tried export same as project and export to h.264. Re-started app and machine.   Looks to effect the same two clips every time. I don't have Compressor 4, yet.
There's not many options that I know to change.
I realized this is a big problem since there's no way out of FCPX, in terms of video or EDL.
Ideas?

I've had this issue weekly with a show I produce. It bugs me for hours. In my case, I have to wait until the entire timeline is rendered, and then I have to export it to ProRes 422. Any other codec requires a re-render, which provokes the problem again. The problem starts when I take a few clips from my P2 and use the stability function along with any color correction topping them off with titles. It seems as though part of the rendering process involves re-analyzing the entire clip during rendering, and if I don't allow it to completely render the clips, I get missing video with graphics on top. I have a 12-core machine with 16GB RAM, and yet it still takes about two hours to render my 30 minute show after I'm done. This doesn't include the hours it takes to analyze the P2 clips as I import them, which also hinders me during editing and causes continual crashes. I'm hoping this new update I'm about to run addresses some of those issues.

Reconnecting Issues with Batch List

Hello,
I am working with a client who created a ton of sub-clips and sent me a batch list of them. He is using FCP 7.0.3 and I am using 6.0.6. When imported, all of the subclips show up with the same name in the browser window (not sure if this is standard as I haven't used batch lists before).
I am having two issues:
- Since there are a ton of subclips, I am obviously hoping to reconnect all of them at once. However, when I go to reconnect, even though I highlight all the clips in the browser window and have checked off the "reconnect all files in similar path" box- it will only reconnect one sublicip at a time.
- For some reason when the sublips do reconnect (one at a time) they are converted to 4:3 from anamorphic- so I have to go into Item Properties and manually check off the anamorphic box to make them normal.
Obviously I can continue with the project, but it will take me a long time to reconnect each sublicip individually and then re-anamorphic (sorry for the made up word) each one manually. It's going to take a long time.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Michael,
Thanks again. I understand now what you are saying. When I reconnect, the dialogue box lists the files as coming from an "Unspecified Path." However, It's finding the files just fine- and it says it can reconnect the clips. However, when it does, it only reconnects one subclip at a time, even though I have highlighted them all. That's the issue. Since all the sublicips I am trying to reconnect have the same name in the browser (they are all named the same as the original clip), FCP will only connect one at a time (apparently it seems to think that the files are all one because they have the same names).
Same thing with selecting multiple clips and then going to Item Properties and clicking on anamorphic- FCP thinks all the clips are really one clip, so it only reconnects one at a time.
Hopefully I am being clear with the problem.
Thanks!

Cellular reconnectivity issues with 3rd Gen iPad 3G/4G/LTE

I've read a few other threads regarding a reconnection issue with the new (3rd Gen) iPad. I'm creating a discussion so people can put there thoughts here regarding the issues they are having with reconnection of cellular data connections.
I have AT&T 64B iPad Gen 3 with 4G/LTE. Black. Works just fine on wifi and my LTE screams at home and work. Faster than my cable at home. I have noticed something behavior regarding data connection when it's lost (like in a tunnel). I ride DC Metro to work and go through a few tunnels. Of course, my data connection drops in the tunnels. When I come back out the indicator on the iPad indicates 5 bars signal and LTE again. Problem is the data connection isn't there, no matter what app I try. I even get a popup window say my cellular data plan has not been activated (huh?). This isn't true since I am on, and have been using a plan. It does this whether it's 4G or LTE reconnection. Not sure about 3G because I haven't seen 3G icon popup on this iPad yet.
I'm thinking this may be an authentication issue? Else, why would it popup that warning? Anyway, all I do is is go into settings turn cellular data off and back on again and everything is fine.
I'm guessing that there could be a software fix for this in the future as there are quite a bunch of people having this problem with reconnection to cellular.
Please post your issues here in this discussion if you have this problem. Maybe we can figure something out.

I have the same iPad (3rd gen, 4G ATT, 64GB, Black). When it arrived last Friday, everything seemed to work fine, except the cellular data connection. It would constantly drop, and I had to toggle cellular data off and back on to get it back. Also, I was getting really slow speeds (on cellular data only - wifi works fine). I tried some simple fixes (restarting, resetting the network settings, restoring), but I kept having the problem. I finally made an appointment at the Genius Bar, and they immediately gave me a new iPad, saying "it could be a bad antenna." Here is the bad news. Even with the replacement, the connection seems to drop less often, but it still drops. The part that concerns me most is that the data speeds on my iPad are considerably slower than on my iPhone 4S when I test them in the exact same spot (I use the Speed Test app). So on my iphone, I get speeds around 3 Mbps, and on the iPad, I get speeds of less than 1Mbps. I can't see any logical reason that the 3rd gen iPad would not get at least as good or better data speeds as an iPhone 4S. The fact that I have now had two 3rd gen iPads with cellular data problems concerns me. However, it is very hard to tell if this is a software, hardware, or network issue. The fact that my iPhone is running the same update of iOS (5.1), and has no problems would seem to eliminate the software and network as causes, but I can't really be sure. I am going to watch the posts in the support communities for another day or two and then head back to the Genius Bar. Overall I love the new iPad, but this has been a real downer.

Missing clips

I'm running FCP 4.5 on my G4 PowerBook. Every once in a while when I open an existing project I get the notice "Missing clip so and so." This has been an on going problem with me since I started FCP. I just don't seem to be able to understand where things are stored and what it is I'm doing to lose/mis-place them.
Typically I do a "Capture Now" Option during my log and capture of incoming video. I then edit it in the Viewer and take it to the timeline. I store all FCP media on a designated scratch external 100Gb HD.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

this error really gets me 'upset' when exporting 1 sequence from a project with only a dozen sequences or so and _somewhere, in one of those timelines, one of those that you really really don't need for any other reason than historical archive matters, there is a reference to a file that is no longer in its original place .....
if only fcp would look at what you've _actually used in the sequence you are exporting and complain when something is missing there, not in the rest of the project ....
</rant>
sorry, long standing issue with overnight renders that are waiting for you to click "ok" in the morning from just 2 minutes after you left the night before....

Reconnect issues

Hi,
I'm having an odd issue with Color that's ruining our project. We did an edit in FCP 6.0.4 with R3D footage converted to ProRes and did an offline edit. After the edits were made, we offlined the timeline clips, and batch captured the footage as REDCODE, and moved it all over to Color. Here's where things went wrong. I copied the Color project file, all related media, and the media-managed FCP project file to an external drive and sent it to the post house for online. When they got it, all the colors looked crunched. All the settings were the same, REC709, ISO320, grades were the same.
They called and said that by changing the ISO of the REDCODE clips, it comes out ok for them, so I'm guessing there's a discrepancy with our 1.0.3 version compared to whatever they have. That's problem 1, figuring out what caused the color crunch.
The second problem came when I tried to load the Color project on our end again. All the media was disconnected, and using the Reconnect utility under File, or clicking "reconnect" under the right-click menu didn't do anything, despite selecting the exact clip. I updated to 1.0.4 from 1.0.3 after learning about the reconnect and ISO issues of 1.0.3, and Color only reconnected half of my clips. Does anyone know what the reconnect issue is?
Thanks in advance.

Right click on the COLOR timeline and see if the reconnect media dialog helps.

Video captured in iMovie is split with frames missing

I have a client who sends me video to edit for him in FCP that he captures in iMovie.
Always around the 15 minutes mark there is a break in the footage. Looking in the 'iMovie Events' folder I see two files clip-2165-02-15 22;26;25.mov & clip.mov.
clip.mov is the first part and clip-2165-02-15 22;26;25.mov is the second part.
This would not if when I joined them in the FCP timeline they matched up, but there seems to be a few frames missing.
Does anyone one know what is going on?

FCP's 20 year old, nomenclature and file management are clumsy and capturing is unstable.
FCP isn't even 10 years old. Not even the app that Apple bought and made into FCP is 10 years old yet. And I beg to differ on the capturing being unstable. If it was so unstable, why would over 1 million people be using it? Why would over half of the production companies in Los Angeles be using it if it was so awful and unstable? No. The application is very stable, and very easy to use. If it isn't working right, then something is wrong... Bad tape, bad deck, bad cable, bad install of the app, machine issues, user error.
I've often captured footage in iMove that was causing too much grief in FCP Or when I actually wanted separate clips on TC breaks.
iMovie captures without timecode, nor reel numbers. That is a hugely important thing for professional editors. That is the basis for good file management, and since iMovie lacks that, it's worse at file management then FCP. A professional wouldn't work without TC and reel numbers. It also captures in a codec that mixes audio and video in ways that make the format uneditable in FCP without rendering.
And, BTW, FCP will make separate clips. It has a SCENE DETECTOR that will break up a big clip into subclips (or does it just add markers)...if you want that "easy button."
Attempting to capture this footage in FCP would probably just cause even more headaches.
What footage?
And there are at least as many threads about capturing problems in FCP as there are "iMovie footage" threads. The two are directly correlated.
No...iMovie is consumer, FCP is professional. And capturing problems can be caused by one of a dozen reasons. I listed them above.
If Apple isn't going to fix FCP the least they can do is allow iMovie to share the codecs that are installed with FCP and encourage cross compatibility rather than hobbling it.
Allow FCP to use consumer codecs? Lacking timecode and reel numbers? Ugh...I hope not. And what is broken about FCP? Is EVERYONE having the SAME capture issue? You see a few dozen posts about how capturing footage doesn't work and you think EVERYONE has the issue? With over 1 million FCP copies out there, unless you saw nearly that many posts about the issue, it isn't something that is broken in the application. It is an isolated event happening to a few people.
Looking at posts on FCP is much like sitting in a hospital waiting room. You only see the problems that occur. If you see a dozen people coming in with broken arms, you now assume that EVERYONE has a broken arm? Or that with all these sick people wandering about, that the whole town is sick? No, only a small percentage is sick.

Display issues in FCP X on my MBP

Hi there,
I downloaded FCP X from the App Store this week and installed it and I am having a lot of display issues. My MCP is the 13.3" model from mid 2010 and the graphics card is compatible. I have 8 GB installed, so that should be sufficient as well. The areas where I am having display issues are:
* I don't see the film strip in the event browser. I do see the listing of the files in the event browser.
* I can not see the Inspector browser. Clicking on the i icon does not do anything and does not bring up the inspector browser
* I can not see any of the effects. Clicking on any of the effects buttons does not do anything and does not bring up the effects browser
I also notice that when resizing the FCP window, it does not get repainted properly.
One last thing that is annoying, but I found a work-around for this, is the splash window shows when FCP has loaded. It does not open FCP with the same layout as I last used, in fact it is only showing the menu bar and nothing else.
I hope that someone can help me with any of these problems. I was really excited about getting started with FCP X, but this has been a downer so far....
Thanks.
Edwin

Hi,
i had the same problem when i used the 10.0 version....but i solved in three ways:
Restarting the computer;
or
Creating a new event,clic on new event and the old clips appeared like magic in the old event if you try to access it again....
or
Click and keep pressed the Event icon (the purple star); try to put it in "Machintosh HD" or any hdd you have the event. Magically the clips are again in the browser....
Try......
Cheers

Poster Frame and Trim Mode not working properly with post-synced clips

Hi Everyone-
Final Cut Pro seems to be doing something really odd and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it and if so what is the fix:
We are shooting a movie on Red with sound coming in on multitrack wav files. We downconvert the R3D files to Prores and then manually sync the tracks in the timeline.
We link the pix and sound and drag them to the bin to make our dailies. They all play, in sync. When we try to set a poster frame the issues begin. If I load the clip into the browser park the playhead on a frame and choose poster frame, the actual frame in the bin is very noticably offset (often by a few seconds).
Also, when I use the trim mode, the frames jump to a different part of the shot during trim. It's like the shot is jumping ahead or back while I hit the frame advance or recede buttons. Once I let go of the button the image jumps to the correct number of frames. But, it's very distracting if I am trying to trim, for example, to just before an actor blinks. I can't trim 1 frame at a time. I have to keep hitting the button, watching the picture jump to a different part of the shot, release the trim button and watch the picture jump back to the now correctly trimmed frame...
As a test I took some of the Prores clips with scratch track sound and brought them into the bin directly from the finder, bypassing the syncing. Using those clips, the trim and poster frames work as expected. Obviously something is going on during syncing.
I assumed maybe because the audio and pix we different lengths the clip was getting "confused", and didn't know where to "start". So, in the timeline with the synced clips, I razor bladed a few shots, linked them, and dragged them to the bin so the audio and video were the exact same length... Same issue.
I have noticed the same behavior on 2 separate Macs so I don't think its a preference or corrupted install issue.
Anyone seen this and have any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

Yes, David, I'm having the same problem under the same circumstances. we're using merged clips made from Prores QTs and multitrk BWF files. In the trim window, the display frame jumps ahead considerably in a frame-by-frame trim, but trims accurately in the timeline. My only work-around has been to use the left/right scrub arrows in the trim window when necessary, which displays the correct frame. Sorry not to have an answer, but I saw a post on another forum from 2007 that speculated it was an FCP 6 bug. Resetting prefs doesn't help.

.mov issue in FCP

Hello,
I am working with .mov files that I exported out of an animation program. For some reason when I play the files in FINAL CUT STUDIO, FCP seems to do something with the layers. It's as if it alters them somewhat... for example if I have some writing on a wall in the animation, and the wall is white, it appears black in FCS.
Is this a setting issue in FCP?
Thank you for your help,
Evan Jacobs

sounds like in your animation program you had the background set White, whereas in FCP you have it set Black ... consequently in FCP your animation's alpha channel (transparency) shows as black
try this ... select the clip, then choose Modify > Alpha Type > White

Missing clips by converting to imovie11

I just made the covertion to imovie11. Several clips in projects are With a ? . When i look for the missing clips i find them back on my external disk where
the new library is made. I can put them one by one in the project, but this is a lot of work. What am i doing wrong that the clip won't come automaticaly in the
projects?
Dirk

Yeah, if I hadn't already spent so much time on the project, I would have just started over but that is not an option. The thing that is so frustrating about this is that the events are both there and intact (the clips will play just fine in the event browser), I just need to link them appropriately in the timeline and for some reason, it's insisting on pulling both interviews from one event where a duplicate clip was somehow copied. I wouldn't mind just leaving them both there, but I suspect this muddling of things is what's causing the lack of video and the random 'missing clip' issues. Hargh.
What exactly do you mean by fix the files one by one? Fortunately, there are actually only a few clips in question. The events are interviews; one is a singular hour-long clip and the other is two clips that comprise an hour. Do you mean correcting them in the timeline or in the event browser or in the file folder tree? The files are on an external drive if that somehow helps.
Russ- thanks to you as well. Hopefully this has shed a little light on my issue. I imported my clips from a camera...not exactly sure what "kind" they are. As for the melding of events, I have no idea what happened. All was fine then suddenly, missing clips everywhere and one event was copied into the other and timeline clips are now inexplicably linked to the combo event, not to the original event which still exists and is fine! I have invested a ton of time on this project (a documentary), so I really need to resolve this. I can't help but think this should be easier than it seems. Everything is there, it just needs to be straightened out.
Many thanks for your interest and help, I really appreciate it!!

Playlists don't work with separate audio clips

I have a timeline with 8 different clips and chapter playlists set up to play each clip individually and to play them in pairs. This works fine.
But when I add audio to the timeline it goes wrong. I have 8 different audio clips that match up with the video clips. If I view the timeline itself, everything is OK. If I view the first clip's playlist (with the first audio clip) it also works OK. But if I view any of the other playlists, the DVD (and previewer) return me back to the menu as soon as the audio track starts (this is the end action). If I delete any of the audio tracks, the playlists for those videos work fine again.
I also see similar behaviour on another timeline where a second audio clip starts midway: the chapter immediately before the new audio track is skipped in a playlist and the DVD plays the subsequent chapter (there are many chapters on that timeline).
The only solution I've come up with is to burn a DVD with no audio, rip the video, line up the audio tracks I want to use with the video, export them all in one big file and then add that single clip into Encore. It's not really something I want to do, to be honest.
Is there any explanation for this strange behaviour, or is it another bug?
Thanks for any help or pointers towards sorting this out.

I'm with Neil on the 8 separate Timelines. There are pitfalls to grouping multiple Clips onto one Timeline, and even an Audio Unit's difference in Duration can cause issues.
If you do go with the discrete Timelines workflow, you'll just do Playlists, and not Chapter Playlists instead.
Good luck,
Hunt

Issue on deployment: Solution Deployment : Missing one or more of the following attributes from the root node in solution .wsp: assembly '', type ''

Hi,
I have the following issue when deploying:
Solution Deployment : Missing one or more of the following attributes from the root node in solution .wsp: assembly '', type ''
The solution is a farm solution (was never sandbox) and it deploys fine.
It was updated several times with success. We did not see this issue until recently when we had some other issue (unrelated) and looked at the logs. The solution is updated without problem and updates are available for the user. But we can see this error
in the logs at the update time.
Any idea what might cause this?

Hi，
This error is wide meaning, as it can come from differences between SP versions, variables types used, bad manifest file, WebConfiguration ...
You can try to redeploy the solution.
retracted the solution,removed all the previous ref, removed dll from GAC and folder from 14\features and reset the iis, deploying it again.
Here are some similar issue post, you can use as a reference:

In additional, you can check the ULS log (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS) to get the detailed information.
I hope this helpful.

Best way to import MTS (AVCHD)/missing clips using Log and Transfer

My footage (Sony HDR 500) of an average project consists of approximately 10 hours film and 1600 clips. When I use the option Log and Transfer to import in FCE not all clips are imported in FCE. All other clips are consecutively numbered and cannot be compared with the numbering of the clips on the camera anymore. As a result it is, with those large amounts of clips, almost impossible to find out which clips are missing.
Importing takes a very long time (is that normal?) so I would like to run this proces at night, but due to this missing clips problem I am afraid to do this so it is not a good option for me. Does anyone recognize this problem?
To avoid all this I now convert all clips with Voltaic to .mov before importing. At least I know for sure that I have all clips imported, but it is so cumbersome and it takes a lot of time too. This proces I do in steps because I am afraid to start everything at once. After converting the project almost takes 120 GB.
It takes days before everything is imported and that frustrates me. If the same material is imported in Edius for example it only takes an hour (tested) so it appears to be an FCE/Apple problem. Is there any way to accelerate?
I am working with an iMac from 2010, 2,8GHz quadcore i7, 16GB intern geheugen met snow leopard.
I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks, Jacqueline

While I have not seen the exact problem you describe, 1600 clips is a lot of clips to import at once - so is 10 hours of video.
If you are using FCE to Log & Transfer directly from the camera, your clips are automatically being transcoded to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC) during importing, which explains the long time it takes to ingest the clips.
Also, QT/AIC files are much, much larger than the AVCHD clips in your camera. If you are shooting 1920x1080 video, 10 hours of AVCHD translates into roughly 450GB of QT/AIC clips. It is possible that you may be a) running out of disk space, or b) exceeding the scratch disk minimum allowable free space set in FCE > System Settings. If so, that could explain why not all your clips are being imported - FCE is probably stopping the Log & Transfer process when it hits the disk space limit.
Regarding alternatives, I'm not so sure about Voltaic. The Voltaic documentation says it only supports H.264 in QT/.mov files, and that would not be usable in FCE. Check some of those clips to see what codec they are. I suspect they are H.264. (Also, you referred to the converted clips taking 120GB space, which just happens to match the AVCHD storage capacity of your camera ... and AVCHD is a form of H.264 video, so they take up about the same disk space.)
In order to edit your clips in FCE, they need to be QT/AIC. Two alternatives come to mind - Clipwrap and MPEG Streamclip. Both can convert AVCHD video to QT/AIC, and both support batch conversion. If it were me, I'd consider Clipwrap first, for this volume of material, since Clipwrap was specifically designed for AVCHD.
The reason importing is so much faster in Edius is that it can import & directly edit AVCHD clips; Edius basically just copies the clips from the camera to your hard drive. FCE has to convert the clips to QT/AIC first, before you can edit the video, and that takes considerable time.
