Retiming after sending from final cut

I have tried to send a clip to shake from final cut 5.1.4. When I apply a re-time, I lose the edit points and all of a sudden I find I am dealing with the entire captured footage the clip is taken from rather than the clip from the timeline. I know that the roundtripping between final cut and shake is not the smoothest, but this is an all-out problem. Any thoughts?

MIchael Mench has an excellent tutorial about sending to shake for retiming here:
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/menchmichael/slowmotion/video-tutorial.php
It's really worth studying carefully.
A lot of people avoid the "Send to Shake" functionality altogether.
Just export the clip using the same settings, tweak it in Shake,
and import back into FCP.

Send From Final Cut Loses Frames

When I send my clip from Final Cut to Shake it loses frames from the beginning and end. Can anybody point me in the right direction to fix this?
Thanks!

I have watched all of your clips and learned a lot but your final cut just seems to work differently than mine. One thing though, when the clip comes back to final cut it has not shifted frames.
I exported the entire clip out of Final Cut and then started a new project. This new clip exported into Shake just fine so it must be a Final Cut issue and not a Shake issue.
Any idea of why this would happen? I am using an off brand camera (casio ex-f1)

Send from Final Cut Pro X Trial to Compressor 3.5.3

In the Share menu, I've selected "Send To Compressor", but it tells me I don't have Compressor installed. I do. It's 3.5.3. I've opened it separately and it works fine. I've tried reinstalling Compressor, and trashing Final Cut's preferences, and still no luck. Any suggestions?

FCPX will not Send to Compressor 3, it requires Compressor 4 to be installed. Hence the warning.

No audio tracks when sending from Final Cut?

Hi,
I'm working with a 90 minute edited sequence in final cut that I've nested in another sequence to create a continuous video with a stereo audio track. When I send it to soundtrack (multitrack project) for mixing, the video is there but the audio tracks are blank.
Does any one know why this is happening or have suggestions as to what I might do differently?
Thanks in advance.

I ended up exporting the sequence inside my nested sequence and that worked as it should.
But all of my audio tracks were given their own track in Soundtrack which wasn't what I wanted. Finally I exported my nested sequence "for soundtrack" and applied the effects and filters to the resulting file's audio tracks and saved it. I then imported the file back into FCP, put it in a sequence and made any adjustments that I needed before exporting it with compressor.
I don't know if this applies to what you need to do but I hope it's helpful.

After exporting from Final Cut, video is brighter

I've recently shot some footage that is actually kinda dark. shot it at night with some lights of mine. it looks great in Final Cut while i'm editing it. the light seems fine. i get nice fall off's of sides of faces and i have the rest of the face all black. it's beautiful.
when i go to export the video (export - quicktime movie - current settings) and watch it back in quicktime, it's lighter. not extremely lighter, but to the point where in final cut it looks like someone's face is so black i can't see their eyes, then i export it, and now i can make out their eyes.
what's going on here?
if i left any information out please let me know and i'll help supply all the information necessary

will that make any difference if i upload the video to youtube or vimeo? will i need to make sure that i have that option selected in quicktime before i upload it to youtube? or does it not matter if i have that selected or not when i upload?
i just hope that it looks like it should when i send this file somewhere else where it's not playing on quicktime

Length of clip expands when sending from Final Cut to Motion

Hi everybody. I'm a motion beginner, so pardon me if this is a boneheaded question. I have a clip whose speed has been slowed in an FC timeline. I sent it to motion in order to switch the method of speed alteration to 'optical flow'. The clip in the FC timeline is three seconds long, 62 frames. It's an excerpt from a clip in the browser that is 10 minutes long, 14,000 frames.
The clip opens in motion at the correct length -- three seconds -- and it looks the same as in the FC canvas. However, when I select 'optical flow', the task list says Motion is analyzing 14,000 frames and it finish in 27 hours.
Why is Motion applying the change to the entire master clip and not just the piece that I sent from FC? And is there a way to force it to deal with just the piece?

Because that's what Motion 3 does - analyzes the entire underlying media file. Your options: 1) In FCP, export the clip with handles, import, and replace, then send that shorter clip to Motion or 2) Upgrade to the new FCS, in which Motion 4 only analyzes the section of the clip you are interested in.

Video does not display when sending from Final Cut Pro to Motion

Suddenly, when sending an audio & video sequence to Motion, a new Motion file is created, and all my layers come in properly, but the video does not display.
The audio plays fine, and Motion clearly know that there are video tracks there, but it does not display them.
Additionally, when rendering the Motion file back in FCP, it turns in to black video.
I have previous sequences within the same project that were sent just fine, and are editable properly, but any new ones I try to create just come out black.
Help, please?

Do you have Motion mistakenly set to render out with an Alpha channel?
Double click your Motion clip in the Timeline. Go to Modify > Composite Mode in the menu bar and set the Alpha to "None/Ignore".

Black flashes appear every 2 seconds after exporting from final cut pro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8jJNnk4s3g here is my video as an example of what is happening. It only shows up after exporting and on the original AVI footage, and not my outro footage which was a .mov.
Please can somebody help me figure out what is wrong with it as it is happening with every video I try to make using the AVI filed my camcorder records in.

AVI is not a supported wrapper in FCP (and who knows what's the codec)
You probably should convert the material to an natively editable format before you bring it in to FCP. Mpeg Streamclip is a good app for this purpose. What format you convert to depends on the size and framerate of the original media.

When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor using local QCluster

When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by way of Share and using the local QCluster, the audio renders, but the video errors out saying something along the lines of Can not locate file.
If I use 'This Computer' it works fine.
What gives?
Fresh install of OS and FCS.
Thanks!

I'm just learning the intricacies of Compressor and Qmaster myself, but I have learned that when you use Qmaster you can not share directly from FCP. You must export a Quicktime movie (reference movie seems to be fine) and input that to Compressor. This is only an issue when using Qmaster, as you've seen.

Problem sending timeline from Final Cut to a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project

Hello,
Thank you in advance for reading. I am having trouble sending a timeline from Final Cut to a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project. Final Cut makes a new Soundtrack Pro project file just fine and opens Soundtrack Pro as it's supposed to, but the project in Soundtrack Pro only has a portion of my audio tracks. I've tried sending by control clicking the sequence in the browser and selecting 'Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project' as well as highlighting my entire timeline and doing the same. Both result in the same Soundtrack Pro proejct with about 1/3 of my total 48 audio tracks (lots of sound FX).
I'm using Final Cut 7.0.2 and Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1 My computer is a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8, 2.26 ghz intel core 2 duo, 4 gb ram.
Any suggestions (or workarounds, if it comes to that) anyone has will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again, Gabe

Try building the project to your desktop and then open the Video_TS in the Mac DVD player application.
How does it play/sound? This application is the best way to see and hear how your burned DVD should play vs. just using simulator and burning.
Just to clarify- are you taking your FC QT file into Compressor and creating a MPG-2 and AC3 file or are you bringing your FC QT directly into DSP?
What codec are you exporting from FC? ProRes422, DV, H264?
Open the FC QT in QT and apple+I to see this.
What does it say for audio?

> (Whatever happend to Automatic Duck?)
Adobe acquired the software from Automatic Duck and hired Wes and Harry Plate. The Pro Import After Effects feature in After Effects is the updated Pro Import AE functionality previously sold by Automatic Duck.
BTW, you can download other Automatic Duck software from their website for free these days.

Audio out of synch after I export from Final Cut

I have a video on a Final Cut timeline. If I play in FC, audio is in synch. If I play the file in QuickTime player from my captures folder, the audio is in synch. If I export from final cut, or from quicktime pro, the audio of the resulting file is off by about 1 second. I was trying to make a h.264 file, but it does the same thing if I export to other formats as well.
This only seems to be happening with this particular video. I have a number of project loaded right now, and do not have this same problem with the other projects.
Weird....any help would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't include any of your specifications for the sequences or exported movies but a problem that only exists on a single item is directly associated with that item and can be identified but they're usually subtle.
My first guess is that the audio on the original media is set to a slight different sampling rate. Could be off a thousandth of a decimal. The reason it works in the timeline is it's being conformed to the sequence settings in realtime. The export would reference the original.
I can't tell from the post where you're getting this loss of sync. Can you try exporting a self-contained movie and then use that to go to h.264?
