Render Format in Project Properties is disabled, why?

Hi,
I can't change the Render Format in my Project Properties,
Does anyone have any idea why it would be disabled?
I've read the manual & watched various tutorials & none of them mention this possibility.
BTW I'm trying to do this because having chosen ProRes422Proxy, the video looks compressed & horrible while editing; far below the quality I was expecting.

Sorry, yes the audio sample rate was originally Surround/48Khz, I was just playing around to see if I could get the render format to enable.
I did have a clip in the project, which was rendered in Motion5 (in ProRes4444), but I deleted this clip & the Render Format is still disabled.
I didn't notice this before, but for some reason, some of the later clips I'm using have no audio track.
This is not right and is probably because whenever I use FCPX to import video from my PAL DV camera, it fails to include audio. And probably fails to do something else...
So I have since discovered that I have to use FCPExpress to import all my footage.
This will take a while, but no doubt if I re-import these clips in FCPExpress, the issue will go away - just a hunch.
Unfortunately, with FCPX's inability to reconnect old clips - I guess it means I'll have to start this project all over again. Yay! ;-)

  • Cannot Change Render Format In Project Settings FCP X 10.1.4

    I am importing video files into Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4 from my Sony A7s. They are XVAC-S format, MPEG-4 / H.264 compression, 24fps at 50Mbps.
    The issue I’m having is prior to importing the footage, when I create a new project I am unable to change the render format. The option is “greyed out” and not available to select or change and selects ProRes Proxy as a default. After I import the footage, I tried to only check the “Optimized Media” option but unless I also create proxy files, the footage in the editor says “missing proxy” and I am unable to edit my footage.
    Next I tried to change the render format after I’m done editing by clicking on the project, opening the inspector, go under the “Info” tab, and select “modify Settings” and still the field is “greyed out” and unavailable.
    The reason I need to change the render format is that rendering source the files into ProRes Proxy noticeably degrades the final image. Perhaps there is an easy step that was moved in the last update, but please help anyone. Thank you.

    Now when you say viewer appearance popup, I'm not sure what that is. The only popups I'm aware of that give any access to choosing Original/Optimized Media are:
    1. Preferences
    2. Upon importing the files
    3. Right clicking the file after import and selecting "Transcode"
    The inspector is on the right side of the application so is that what you are referring to?

  • Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

    Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks in advance.

    I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
    Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
    If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be  adjusted.
    I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

  • Clips Conforming to Project Properties - Sometimes

    Having preset custom properties for a new Project, is there a way to have ALL clips added to that Project/Timeline (whether inserted, appended, dragged, whatever) automatically conform to those custom settings, in particular the frame rate?
    I've spent the past few hours testing every subtle variation I can think to test, but the result is still that SOME clips get correctly converted and some don't -- but the exact SAME clip will get processed correctly in one Test Project, yet not in another, and I just can't determine a consistent reason why.
    (I've added full workflow details below.)
    Am I overlooking something obvious, or is this kind of baffling behavior -- wherein clips sometimes conform to specific Project Properties and sometimes don't (and the SAME clip gets processed differently in different Projects, each created with the SAME Property settings) -- just another "feature" of the new Final Cut?
    Any suggestions appreciated!
    Thanks,
    John B.

    PROJECT SPECIFICS:
    - Original media is AVCHD 1920x1080 files acquired on a Canon HF-10 camera at the "24p" setting, which a colleague refers to as "24f", as in "24-fake";
    - the files are actually 29.97i with every fourth frame repeated, so after import, viewing them from the Event Browser one frame at a time, the pattern for every five frames is A-B-C-D-D,  A-B-C-D-D, etc.
    - So if I simply let the new Project's properties be determined by the first clip, it will become a 1920x1080 29.97i project;
    - But if I custom set the new Project's frame rate to either 24p or 23.98p, and THEN add Clip1, an orange render bar (are we still supposed to call them that?) appears briefly overtop Clip1, after which -- SOMETIMES -- Clip1 now plays with that pulldown-simulating extra frame removed, in a smooth, true 24fps timeline.
    - And that's exactly what I want to have happen, by default, with EVERY clip I add to this particular project; the trouble is: I can't make it happen consistently. Sometimes the render bar appears when I add the new clip; sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes even when it does appear, the end result just for that clip (and only on the timeline) is a horribly stuttery A-A-B-B-C-C-D-D-E-E.... cadence. (And that's after making sure ALL rendering is completely finished.) Other times -- grabbing the EXACT SAME CLIP from the Event Browser, but placing it in a new 24fps timeline -- the "conversion" works perfectly, and the clip on the timeline now plays smoothly at 24fps with no repeating frames anywhere.

    24fps does not have pulldown. You're just changing the frame rate and Streamclip is reconforming it as best it can with frame blending. 24fps is not supported in FCE and should not be used.

  • Bug in workshop Project Properties for a Java Project !!

    I have a Java project which i am trying to make work with junitee so
    that i can automate my test cases. I have installed junitee as a web
    application named 'junitee' and configured it no problem.
    I have my JUnit test cases in Java Project named 'UnitTest'. What i want
    to happen is that when i build my UnitTest project i want the resulting
    JAR file UnitTest.jar copied into the WEB-INF\lib of the junitee project.
    In order to do this i needed to change the project 'Build' options and
    select the "Copy JAR file from Libraires to Project as" and refer to the
    junitee web app as follows:-
    ../junitee/WEB-INF/lib/UnitTest.jar
    Unfortunately when i do this and select Ok to save my changes workshop
    gives me the following error:-
    The JAR name contains illegal characters. Please correct the name.
    However i have managed to get around this and make it work by manually
    modifying my .work file by hand and not through workshop. This works and
    achieves exactly what i want however it must be a bug in workshop to not
    allow this through the Project Properties window !.
    Else if it is deliberate then i cant see why as you should be able to
    copy a JAR file to any lcoation inside the project if you wish to. I
    hope this gets fixed in SP3.

    .. I tried using iPhoto to export a QT file of an image slideshow....
    I would start here to play on the knobs&sliders ..
    what were your settings for export? "QT file" => that is many dozends of options of compression, codecs, resolutions, etc. pp ...
    the consumer apps FCE and iM are meant for TV display only => reduced res + reduced colors, quality reduced due to interlace (due to TV standards) ...-
    a Full Res, h264 encoded qt.mov should display your photos in shining quality ...

  • Can't change fps in project properties

    I can't change the fps in the project properties in Motion 3. I can change everything else, but that. It is stuck at 29.97 but I want it to be at 23.98. Even when I change the preset to, say, 720p24, the fps is still at 29.97. Is this a bug, or is their a magic setting to change somewhere else?

    Oh boy! That's weird. I started a new NTSC Broadcast SD project, but the frame rate was still stuck to 29.97 (the frame rate field is not editable). So instead of changing the preset in the project properties, as I've done before, I tried your suggestion. I created a new project, but in an HD format that supported 24p. I chose the DVCProHD 720p24 setting, fortunately this time, the fixed in cement frame rate was at 23.98; I then immediately changed the preset back to NTSC Broadcast SD within the project properties, and whammo! SD res but the frame rate stayed at 23.98.
    This is really, I mean really counter intuitive. Apple really did not think things through. Perhaps it's a programing logic issue... Who knows... it's still sloppy!
    Thanks Mark for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Setting in Project Properties for PAL 1920 x 1080

    Hi there,
    I have been using LiveType in Std Def without problem.
    Now I have switched to HD, my FCE4 is editing in PAL 1920 x 1080.
    What setting is FILE > Project Properties shall I set in LiveType because I see the canvas has gone too big & not managable !!
    HELP HELP HELP
    Thanks

    Nick Holmes wrote:
    Pick any of the 1080 presets -it doesn't matter which, although you might have to adjust the frame rate to suit.
    Another way to automatically adjust the properties is to simply drop in a small piece of video in the required format via the Place Background Movie command in the File menu. Save the setting and then delete the video.
    I see the canvas has gone too big & not managable !!
    Click the percentage button at the bottom left of the Viewer. Set it to "Fit to Screen".
    Thanks Nick.
    But how do fix the size of all the various windows.
    After I adjust until all the 4 windows are to my liking, I work on it.
    But when I close Live Type and I fired up Live Type on the next time, all the 4 windows go haywire in size again. How do I fixed (and save) the size of the 4 windows once & for all ?
    Thanks

    An error has occurred. Click Details for information that may be useful when diagnosing or reporting this problem. It has a "Details>>" button and when you press that, you get a text area showing the stack trace that I posted earlier.
    If you then click "Ok" on that dialog, the right side of the properties window shows the follwing:

    None of the other controls (buildfile entry area and target lists) are visible).
    If I switch to a different node, and then switch back to the ANT node, the exception message is gone and the "Project Buildfile" entry area and Browse button are visible. The buildfile I've specified is properly displayed. However, the available targets list is empty and the Default target selector is disabled.
    If I close the dialog and bring it up again, the sequence starts over again.
    Please let me know if I need to clarify any of this.
    Thanks.

  • Render Format  options

    Render Format in FCP X project settings doesn't have a h264 option, only various ProRes. In this case I don't see a point of "native AVCHD" editing. Exporting with "current settings" gives you video with ProRes which requires transcoding to H264 and takes a very long time.

    Thank you for your answers. That is true, after doing some more testing speed of export doesn't seem too bad. My first test export to H.264 seemed quite slow on my MacBook Pro, about 6 hours for 2 hour long project. That might have been for other reasons, since other tests with short videos gave me much better results - about 12min for 8min project. More important to me was a questions whether it is possible to avoid intermediate codecs in FCP X "native" editing and it looks like it is not possible. Yes, you don't have to created ProRes files during import, but during edit you still create ProRes file which has to be recompressed during export if you want your resulting file to have the same codec as source file, e.g. H.264. I was hoping that export speed in this case would be even faster. I was aware about the typical workflow where you create a ProRes file in FCP and then use Compressor to create whatever format you want. This is nothing new and that's what most people did in FCP 7.

  • JSC 2.1 ignores path properties in nbproject/project.properties ?

    Hi,
    I have to import a Netbeans 5.0 project into JSC 2.1 in order to use the JSF UI designer. The project has the Java BluePrints source structure with all folders external to the Netbeans project folder (because it was created with other tools in the past). It is a mix of legacy servlets, plain JSP and JSF pages.
    In Netbeans it was no problem to import the source tree by using the option "Web Application with Existing sources" from the project wizard and tweaking the pathes in nbproject/project.properties. In JSC this option does not exist. Also I cannot just move all the sources into a standard JSC project folder since it is a large project in a CVS repository. Also I cannot use softlinks since some people work on the project using Windows and some use Linux.
    So I tried to edit the path settings in nbproject/project.properties manually. Here are the relevant lines I changed from a default JSF project created by the JSC wizard I used to manually import the project into JSC:
    conf.dir=${file.reference.jsctest-src}/conf
    file.reference.jsctest-test=../../test
    file.reference.jsctest-web=../../web
    file.reference.jsctest-src=../../src
    jsf.pagebean.package=jsctest
    jsf.project.libraries.dir=lib   # <-- not sure what goes in here
    source.root=${file.reference.jsctest-src}
    src.dir=${file.reference.jsctest-src}/java
    test.src.dir=${file.reference.jsctest-test}
    web.docbase.dir=${file.reference.jsctest-web}The web.xml, faces-config.xml, ... etc. are all prepared for JSC. JSC seems to understand it and opens it correctly and list the external folders like Netbeans would. But when I try to add a new JSF UI based page I get a NullPointerException. From the message log:

    [catch] ... 67 moreWhen I look into the files view of the project I see that JSC recognizes the classes in the external source packages folder like Netbeans would. But it creates at the same time a non-existing folder named src below the JSC project folder which contaings an empty folder named "jsctest" (the default package name I selected for page beans).
    So it seems some part of JSC (the web designer?) ignores the path settings in nbproject/project.properties while others (the code from NB4.1?) does not. When I move all project sources into the JSC project folder in their standard location it works but as I wrote above doing that is not an option because CVS etc..
    Or do I have to set some additonal properties in the project for the designer? Or is there any other way to import such a legacy project to create new JSF pages with the designer (we cannot change all servlets / pages at once).
    Or is it just a bug in JSC 2.1 I should report? Or is it a unsupported feature JSC will never support?
    Thanks in advance,
    regards,
    Thomas

    Thanks for your answer.
    Unfortunately, as I described in my inital posting, it is not possible for me to do a refactoring of the source structure in Netbeans because the project is based on a CVS repository and I cannot change the pathes there for several reasons. The web folder and sources folder are outside of the Netbeans project folder anyway. I just thouhgt that JSC would read the pathes from the project.properties file like Netbeans but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    I guess we have to wait for the next JSC version or check out other options.
    Thanks anyway,
    Thomas

    Any suggestions on how to resolve the "The content folder is not under the specified source root." issue? When I click "OK" on the Project Properties I get an "An output directory must be specified." alert box. Clicking "Cancel" clears the panel.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    please check with another "fresh" project. The error message
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The content folder is not under the specified source root.
    indicates that you messed up with the project file location, which no longer seem to be in the defined source directory.
    Close all workspaces and projects in JDeveloper, and create a new project accepting the default settings. This should work then
