Slow Disk error when using Finale Cut

I get a slow disk error when trying to play something in finale cut but when i try to verify disk and repair disk i get Error: Could not unmount disk. What is going on and how do i fix it?

You have to boot from a DVD or external OS to fix the Disk. You can't unmount a disk that is currently hosting your operating system.

    When using Final Cut Pro X (iMac mid 2011 model-version 10.1.3) to burn 1 hour movie onto DVD, it seems to render but when computer says 'Sharing to DVD successful' and yet DVD is blank, what's my next move? Burning hardware is working as I burned a project using iMovie afterwards. I filmed a funeral service and family get together afterwards but can't share it with family and friends...plz......suggestions/recommendations/condemnations........

    Another update to my burning problem...in my movies folder there is an img file (states it is a classic disk image-2.82GB) after I have tried burning a DVD unsuccessfully and when I open the img file I see 1) AUDIO_TS AND 2) VIDEO_TS files. I 'control' clicked the file and tried burning this folder onto a disc. Result it seemed to burn both files onto DVD but still couldn't view video.

  • When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

    Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

  • How do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...

    First, did you use Setup or Migration Assistant? That can happen when coming from a PowerMac or sometimes even from another (Intel) Mac.
    Second, wait for the next version of Final Cut due very soon to ship (may have to wait for the ".1" of course to clean up any early issues.

    There are a few apps that are better.  I think you can run multiple instances of Handbrake for one.

  • Brand new 2012 fully loaded iMac is slower then my two year old iMac when using Final Cut.

    Just got a new 2012 iMac with 32GB RAM 3.4 Ghz and 3TB Fusion Drive and 2GB Graphics card.
    Now Final Cut runs even slower than it does on my old, lesser iMac. What gives?
    How Do I optimize the speed in which the video files are played?
    I'm using Final Cut 7.
    Files are all 1080 Pro Res.
    All files are running off of my desktop (locally).
    I press play and it is delayed a second before playing on the timeline.
    I thought this fully loaded machine was to help me edit faster.
    Is the Fusion Drive doing something funny with the file access that causes a delay in playback?
    The problem is, the same issue happened when I put the files on an external FW800 G-Drive.
    Any advice would be awesome.
    Thanks Community!

    are you sure all your files...render files...scratch disk, etc were all pointed to the FW800 drive?
    are you trying to play the exact same files in the same manner and see the new imac slower or does it just "seem" slower. You could, for instance, be attempting to play a more compressed file on the new iMac or a higher resolutidon compressed file....we don't know any of that. Apple to Apples, as it were, the new machine will obviously outperform the other one and there are too many variables you haven't covered to be able to draw any real conclusions....tell us more about the specific kinds of files, timeline resolution, video res on both machines and in what way the new one is slower....

  • Error when downloading Final Cut Pro 10.1.3

    My specs
    When I first got his MacBook about a month ago, I was still using Mavericks. I bought Final Cut Pro and it downloaded just fine. I upgraded to Yosemite shortly after it became available.
    I found soon after that supplemental updates for FCP were hard to install properly (I would press the Install button, it would say Installing then go back as if nothing had happened). After consulting a few articles, I decided the best to do was to delete FCP and re-install it.
    I consulted this article, which explains how to thoroughly uninstall FCP on Mavericks Final Cut Pro X 10.1: How to remove and reinstall Final Cut Pro X - Apple Support and followed its directions. Then I restarted my computer.
    When I try to download and reinstall FCP from the Purchases section of the App Store, I watch the download bar reach 2.28 GB (full download) then receive an error message.
    This is what I'm left with:
    I've done this a few times. I'm not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions?

    This is what's in my Applications folder:
    I've seen this several times also. I'm stumped.

  • Imported song "skips" when using final cut express.  please help!!!

    hey everybody. i'm editing a music video in final cut express 4.0. i'm very new to this, so please forgive me for using incorrect terminology, or in most cases, no terminology. here we go...
    i'm having this problem where the song i imported into fce keeps, for lack of a better word, skipping. the song is an mp3 file. the song plays all the way through, and it doesn't stop when it skips. but every so often, there will be this glitch, where you can hear the music screw up. when played in itunes or on a cd, this song plays fine, so it's not the mp3. what gives?
    i thought it might be related to the audio from my video tracks. at first, i was just bringing the audio levels from the video all the way down. but then i decided to try erasing it to see if that would help. it didn't.
    thank you so much for reading and taking the time to share your valuable knowledge! take care, everyone.

  • Error when encoding final cut pro x project, will compressor help?

    Having a problem trying to export a FCP X project.  As it is exporting about half way through it will come up with this error message:
    The Share operation export file has failed.  Quicktime error -50
    I noticed in the project library that there is an error icon next to this project and not sure why.
    I made a duplicate project and cut it in half to see if that would work and getting the same error message.
    How can I trouble shoot this and if I purchased Compressor would that help me export this project?
    I am on a tight deadline and this has never happened before, any ideas?

    OK, you are talking to a newbie with FCP X...came from iMovie and did a number of projects with FCP X already but don't know the ins and outs of this program. If you could talk me through the steps and where to find Repair Permissions (is that using the disk utility and repairing permissions there?), Would I trash all the Render files here including the folders, will they rebuild?, Where do you turn off the background rendering?
    I should mention that I took an older project and exported it to see if it would work and it did, without a problem.  I am now making copies of this project and removing sections to see if I can isolate the corrupt files, if there are any.
    FLASH....I just found the corrupt files. The last section I removed seemed to be the issue. I tried to render it again and it worked fine.
    Now I will have to go back and see if I can narrow that section down to find the file that is causing the issue.  WOW what a mess. Is there any program that can identify these issues that doesn't cost as much as FCP?

  • When using Final Cut Pro X, how do I just use the audio from a video that I imported?

    I just want to use the sound from a video I imported. Is this possible? Thanks!

    Sure you can do this. Add the video to your project timeline. Right click the clip and select detach audio. Set in and out points for what you want to export and in the export settings choose audio only and select file encoder you want AIFF, CAF, MP3 etc.. This will give you an audio only Quicktime file which you can then import to FCP to use like any clip.

  • When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk. My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standar

    Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
    My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
    Can I fix this problem?

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

  • I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

    I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

    Yes.  A couple of ways that might work.
    First Way
    What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence.  Does it display correctionly? 
    OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c).  Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted.  Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort.  That should maek things work.  What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence.  That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
    Second Way. 
    Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline.  You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.
