Snapping is stuck "ON" in FCPX

Hi! Although I have snapping disabled, I can't trim my clips to a specific timing. The snap function seems to be active even though the "snap tool" isn't highlighted. Every time I try and trim a clip, it snaps to the grid. (Hopefully I'm explaining this correctly). All of my older libraries and projects do not have this issue. Just created a new one today. The project is for a music video.
You folks have always been extremely helpful in the past. I'm fairly new to this career, and I appreciate anyone taking the time to give me a hand here. Working on a deadline!

Close FCP X and re-open holding Option-Command.
This will allow you to trash the preference files, the usual cause of annoyances.

  • Quick fixes for a snapped headphone jack in the socket...

    Hi all!
    I have a snapped jack stuck in the headphone socket and was wondering what the options are! New phone/repair is impractical as Ill be buying a new phone when I get back from the hols but just need something to hold me over for a month or so.
    So far I've come to the conclusion that trying to remove the jack may make matters worse so im considering either using a Bluetooth headset or just buying a really cheap payg and call forwarding to that. The intention there is that I would carry both phones at all times.
    I'd prefer the Bluetooth option but not too sure if it would override the headphone jack??
    HELP!!
    (thanks in advance people!)

    Well,
    Exactly 9 days after my 3-month parts & labor warranty expired, my headphone jack failed. 9 days! I hoped it wouldn't happen, and believe me -- I babied this player. Heck, I only ever took it on the train to commute to work and on my way home.
    There are absolutely no warning signs. One day it was fine, the next I got intermittent sound out of one of the phones. That's all.
    Regardless, I still love this player, and hope that Creative will still honor the 3-month warranty as it just recently expired. And no, I'm not screaming class-action lawsuit, as I have faith in Creative -- they've done well by me in the past.
    Keep ya posted!
    I think Creative said it's a full year warranty for the headphone jack, not 3 months. But contact support first to confirm.

  • FCPX Blade cuts are snapping to beginning/end of frame. How do I turn this off?

    Hello,
    My FCPX preferences are set to show subframes within project timelines.
    I would like to make blade cuts within subframes, however when I make a cut with the Blade tool, the cut snaps to the beginning or end of the frame that I am in.
    The frame I am in is also highlighted (in the playhead area).
    This "snap to frame cut" happens whether I have snapping turned on or off. Seems to be an odd behavior for the snapping tool too, if that is the issue.
    FCPX wasn't behaving like these the last time I was making cuts. Is there a preference or something that I need to turn off so that I can make a cut on a subframe?
    When in doubt, trash Preferences and reopen FCPX??
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Thank you both.
    I do have separate video and audio in my timeline.
    I did notice that I can make a cut in the Audio wherever I want, but the video cuts stick to the beginning or end of the frame that I'm in.
    Now I need to make the video and audio cut in the same place so they are not offset from each other.

  • FCPX gets stuck on 0% when trying to export video

    Hi.
    Final Cut Pro will always get stuck at 0% when I try to export a video in the "Apple Devices" format. This just started happening recently. Is there any way I can get this to start working again?

    Are you editing with H.264 natively?  FCPX will freeze on a "bad frame" in an h.264 cut (usually at the very beginning of the clip.) If you are editing H.264 natively, you can usually get FCPX to behave if you right click on your Event clips and Transcode > Optimized media. You should also trim off the bad frames (they are typically solid green) in the storyline.

  • Stuck at startup in FCPX

    When i last worked at my project I accidentally quit the program (not a force quit). I think it happened during a background transcoding, but I'm not sure. All I know is that the shutdown of FCPX tok long time.
    Now when I try to open it, it stops at the loading screen with the message -Updating "Discus" event. All goes well until it gets to loading the timeline i was working on when I made the accidental quit. Then it just hoggs all processor power and locks at -Updating "Discus" event.
    Have i lost all my data? Or can i "just" erase the chapter that it gets stuck on?
    Best regards
    Joakim

    Mark - I had the same problem when I upgraded my system to a 6600GT recently. I had a Radeon 9600 and the BIOS set on TURBO, got good scores, stable system. When I installed the 6600GT, it locked up when it tried to find my disk drives. Only clearing the BIOS would let me continue. I now have all the settings back the way I want them - except TURBO. The system benchmarks significantly slower in memory throughput now - that is, the Memory Bandwidth Benchmark (SiSoft Sandra 2005 SP1). My 3dMark2005 went through the roof so it's a decent trade-off, but I want my PC to be all it can be. How do I get my TURBO setting back?!?

  • FCPX 10.1 cannot toggle snapping, skimming

    Installed 10.1 and started to playing with it.  Cannot turn on skimming, snapping, audio skimming, clip skimming etc in ether the menu or the buttons. The button turns blue for a fraction of a second when I click on it, but won't stay blue.

    Just wondering if anyone has found a solid solution to this problem? I have been experiencing loss of buttons and snapping recurring about every week. I have to trash all the prefs of all my applications to get my buttons back. But after a week or so, it happens again. I would like to narrow it down to the exact file that's causing the problem. Is it an issue with my user profile? And if so why is Fcpx so closely tied to these other prefs files? I am on a first gen MBPr, 16gb ram. When I installed mavericks I did a clean install and transferred applications with time machine. I was having this problem ML with 10.0.9 as well. I was hoping that 10.1 would have fixed it but it didn't.

  • Stuck at 33% sharing from FCPX

    I am stuck at 33% shared video as DVD. Actually tried most of the options for sharing but still stuck at 33%. Now trying to send to compressor but it keeps saying 44 to 47 hours time remaining. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to repeat the entire video.  As mentioned in a previous thread, I had no problem with Final Cut Pro last year but with the update to FCPX, the sharing and exporting imps are just crazy. Any suggestions how I can solve this?

    I had this issue yesterday, came to the forums and tried many things. Tried deleting render files, changing to "frames" on the HUD, duplicated the project, removed the background image etc  - none of these helped. Just installed the 10.0.9 update - seems to work now :-)

  • Stuck on FCPX Splash Screen

    I have obviously done something to totally screw (er, corrupt) my installation of FCPX as now when I launch the app, I only get the FCPX splash screen and the menu bar.  Selecting any option from the Window menu shows me nothing.  The splash screen says "Restoring the window layout", but nothing is shown but a large dark gray screen.
    Prior to this, I was also unable to view Project List, and I could consistently get FCPX to crash by just trying to Create New Project.  I've sent a half-dozen crash reports to Apple tonight.  I'm guessing my Project database is corrupt and I will need to take some action to re-create.
    Anyone else seen this or know how to get me out of this situation?
    Grazie.

    We are experiencing a similar problem where FCPX loads but just comes up as one large grey window.   Our operating system is Lion and I wondered if anyone has had a solution that works in Lion?  I couldn't find the same file associations that were described in this thread so I was guessing they were maybe from systems running Snow Leopard? (Primarily, we couldn't find a "Final Cut Pro" layouts folder)  Any help is greatly appreciated! 
    The problem began when one our FCPX projects crashed and then wouldn't reopen.  We removed the project and event from the Final Cut folders which allowed FCPX to reopen except that it went to this grey screen rather than showing the windows.  Everything else (tool bar, dialog boxes, etc.) is functional.  We have re-installed both FCPX and Lion with no improvement.  Thanks again.

  • Buy FCPX or stuck with Premiere?

    Looking for some guidance here. I don't have any experience with either FCPX or Adobe Premiere so I will be learning either from scratch.
    Right now I have a student edition of Production Premium CS5. Since it is the student edition I can not buy the upgrade to CS6 at the upgrade price which means I basically will just stick with CS5.
    I'm looking at this as I can either learn Premiere now "for free" since I already have it, but will at some point have to buy a very expensive non-student version, or I can buy FCPX right now for $300 and learn that instead.
    Any thoughts? I will be using this with a new Retina MBP so that may factor in as well since FCPX has already been updated to use the Retina display (and I doubt Adobe will provide a Retina update for CS5 since they are pushing CS6).

    Why don't you download the 30 day trial from the App Store and see what you think before you lay out any cash?

  • FCPX 10.1 stuck on opening

    My final cut is stuck on the opening screen saying that it is "restoring the window layout". I was using it earlier this morning for a small project and have moved on to a project with a library that has a lot of elements and "projects" in it. Now it is just frozen on opening and will not load up for anything. When I tried quiting out the program and opening another "library" it has the same results (probaby because it is still trying to load up the large project)
    I know there is a way to restore Final Cut to default but don't know how to do it. Help would be appreciated

    Nevermind I had help and found the solution. Heres a link for help.

  • IPad 2 camera stuck won't snap a photo

    IPad camera does not respond when I press the shutter? This happens intermittently.

    Artist Alan-
    If a reset does not clear up the problem, there may be an internal defect in your iPad.  If you can show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a new iPad on the spot.
    If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center near you.  There may be one in your city.  In the US, <United States>.  Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

  • App stuck under Menu Bar after Unlock

    Random application's Title bars are getting stuck under the Menu Bar at the top left of the screen after I unlock my Air.  Attempts to drag the window to a different location results in them snapping back to the original position.  The only fix is to close the application and restart.
    Anyone else seeing this?  Could this be an Accessibility option that's on that shouldn't be?

    I ended up re installing Mavericks after the last update (10.9.1) from a bootble USB stick. The problem appears to have gone away, so maybe my original upgrade of Mavericks caused the problem???
    I downloaded Mavericks again from the app store. When it had finished downloading (approx 5Gb) I exited the installer and created a bootable USB (needs to be 8GB minimum). Then booted from USB and ran the Mavericks installer. As I said problem seems to have disappeared......
    I used this article http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html and used the method in Option 1 in the article to create the drive. A Synopsis of the steps are:
    Format the USB using Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended with GUID partition.
    Open Terminal and paste the following command press Return and enter admin password when prompted
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    It takes a while to create and copy the installer. (Could be up to 30 mins)
    Finally reboot and hold down Option key while computer boots then select the USB drive.
