Strangest thing I've ever experienced with fcp

I opened one of my current project files and saw my footage in black and white. Much to my surprise, a tint filter has somehow appeared on nearly all the clips in my sequence. The strangest thing is I have never used the tint filter and has magically appeared on almost all my clips. Anyone experience this before or have any advice?
Thanks all

I believe there are little computer gremlins and I'm pretty sure they live in the land where the other sock goes from the washing machine.

Minidv - the strangest thing I've ever seen

I started a thread last week asking if minidv was dead. I asked this because it appeared that my Panasonic minidv camera was broken and I wondered if I should make the move to a different format. Bottom line: There was no need to leave minidv at this point in time . . .just get another minidv camera and I'd be fine for the foreseeable future.
As a continuation of that discussion, I have encountered the strangest thing I've ever seen and I'm wondering if anybody can provide insight. I'll try to make a complicated story as concise as possible.
The reason I thought my Panasonic camera was in need of repairs was because large blue streak suddenly appeared across the screen when I played back or recorded video. This was not a problem with the tape, because I checked a few different tapes. In addition, these blue streaks showed up on previously recorded footage that looked perfectly fine when I dumped it to FCP a while ago.
So I bought a used Canon on eBay as a replacement. When I inserted a couple of tapes into the Canon, I saw gray streaks in the same manner I had seen blue streaks on the Panasonic. As far as I could tell, this meant one of two things: 1) there WAS a problem with the footage on the tapes, or, 2) both cameras were malfunctioning in a similar matter.
After an hour of going back and forth trying to isolate the problem, I decided to record some new footage on the Canon. When I did this, there were no gray streaks on playback of the new footage. Out of curiosity, I went back and looked at the previous footage that appeared to have gray streaks, and now the gray streaks were gone.
Wondering if some kind of miracle had happened, I took the tape out of the Canon and inserted it into the Panasonic. Still the same blue streaks on the Panasonic. Since recording a few seconds of new footage on the Canon seemed to be a miracle cure, I decided to try the same thing on the Panasonic. Voila! Blue streaks are gone. I tested other tapes . . .all blue streaks gone from the Panasonic and all gray streaks gone from the Canon.
If recording new footage on the Panasonic somehow magically realigned the heads or something, that should have fixed it last week when this problem first arose on my Panasonic. I tried all these same tests on the Panasonic and the blue streaks wouldn't go away on both newly recorded footage and previously recorded footage.
How is it possible that both of these cameras were working incorrectly in the same manner with several different tapes and then, simply by recording several seconds of new footage, they were miraculously healed? This is bizarre!!!
The only thing I did differently in all this troubleshooting was eat a banana. After that, things were fine. I say that half jokingly, but that is literally what I did. I took a break and at a banana, then 5 minutes later I tried exactly the same things and the cameras worked.
I guess I should be happy that both cameras are working now, but since I have no clue what the common denominator was that caused them to malfunction, and I have no clue how they both healed themselves, I'm worried about using them when I'm trying to record important footage.
Any serious thoughts about how this miracle has happened? (Yes, I know that user error is usually the next thing to consider, but I took very methodical steps to isolate the problem, so I really think the odds of that being the cause are very slim.)

Sounds like dirty heads to me....
I had a similar problem a few years ago. Weird streaks started showing up in my footage, so I used my friend's camera to figure out if it was a problem with the tape or my camera. I ended up transferring dirt from my camera to my friend's with the tape I was using. The footage was ruined, but I ran a head cleaning tape through both cameras and never had the problem since, although I haven't used MiniDV in a few years now.
Sounds like you did the same thing as me....meaning you're right twice: 1) the tapes had dirt on them, and 2) both cameras were having the same problem because the tape was dirty
it seems weird that recording new footage fixed the problem, but its possible that it cleaned the dirt of the heads (temporarily). I'd say buy a couple head cleaning tapes and you'll be fine....and maybe try eating more bananas

Strangest audio issue I have ever experienced with Premiere Pro CS6

I made a video for a company to use on their website, and when I exported it, it all seemed fine. However, whenever it is viewed on any other computer but mine, the audio is very very quiet. This includes the vimeo video file, a copy of the video on a flash drive, anything. The audio is almost too low to hear anything. But, like I said, it sounds great on my computer, which is a Lenovo laptop. I exported the video using the 1080p 30fps preset. If anyone has any knowledg they can share on this issue, that would be great.
Another thing: I have made several other videos using the same sequence settings, export presets, and they are all fine on any computer.
Thanks

How many disk drives? What sizes? and how much DEFRAGMENTED space? What brand/model is the PC? You need to provide more information on your clips - their formats, what were they created on and how you got them into PRE.
You really should install those Windows Updates.
Here's a checklist of basics you should follow through with:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.9 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Install PRE9 v9.0.1 update.
Delete BadDrivers.txt (in Windows 7 this is likely at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Premiere Elements\9.0\BadDrivers.txt)
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Reboot your PC.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
And give us some information about your clips and hardware:
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
What project preset did you use?
Where did the clip come from?
How did you get it into PRE?
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

ADR with FCP

Is there any way to do ADR on FCP?
You could almost do it with the Voiceover Tool,
but there's no way to turn off that 5-second count-off,
which ruins your loop timing.
Maybe I should just do it in Logic.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for replying, but that does not answer my question.
My question was whether FCP can work as ADR software.
Specifically, my question was:
Is there any way to disable the 5-second preroll on the Voiceover Tool?
Actually, these were your two questions and your implied inquiries:
Question #1: *Is there any way to do ADR on FCP?*
Implied question #2: *You could almost do it with the Voiceover Tool,*

Question #2: *Any thoughts?*
Doug supplied "thoughts," good ones, too.
I'll answer your first question with an anecdote: The only looping I've ever tried with FCP was a kluge: play out window-burned clips to a DV recorder with a video monitor out in the studio for the talent, recapture the DV tape. Got the job done.
Searching the FCP manual for ADR came up empty so it's likely the design team did not consider it important enough to provide the function as a direct tool.

Experiencing 'lag' & other issues with FCP 7.0.3 on MacBook Pro...please help!

Hi all
Man, I've been having SUCH frustrations with my MBP running FCP lately - and it used to be 100% no more than 6 months ago?
Basically what happens is that the Canvas window starts lagging after a while - it sometimes looks as if the external HDD can't keep up with FCP anymore, regardless of whether I use my Mac HD as scratch drive, or my external. And I've tried it across numerous externals... I'm beginning to wonder if it's my logic board or GPU, or perhaps even my FW800 port?
Also, when I'm editing on my timeline and add new clips to the edit, this behaviour picks up. Sometimes, when I'm scrubbing or skipping through clips on the timeline, the Canvas displays funky green frames, starts laggin, or the worst: the frames between one cut and another jump around like crazy, even if I just play back at normal speed.
I've done everything I could - cleared space on my Mac HD (it's now got more than 50% free), repaired and verified disk permissions, run AppleJack, etc. etc.
Does anyone know what it could be? I'm seriously considering a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.6 and FCS2, as well as upgrading from 4Gb to 8Gb RAM, but what bothers me most is how this used to never happen, and it's not like the work I'm doing is more intense or heavier than anything I've done before.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks... But again, why would I have to do this now when it was never a problem before?
In any case, all the footage I'm using in this project is XDCAM EX, the only difference being that some footage is 720, while other footage is 1080, and then there's also a variation in terms of interlaced and progressive footage accross the board (it's a rock band documentary, don't ask! )... Could this have something to do with it?
I kinda doubt it, cos one of the TV shows I work on has the same codec, resolution and other settings accorss the board, and I experience the same stutter on these projects...

Anyone using a 4K monitor with FCP X?

Is anyone using FCP X on a 4K monitor? I'm thinking about getting a Dell 4K monitor as my main monitor but I'm a little worried the user interface support on 4K is weak. I think everything is going to look super tiny.
Has anyone already experienced this?
Thanks!

So I have my new Mac Pro set up. 8-Core, 32 gigs RAM, Dual 700 GPUs, 512 gig internal Flash drive.
I purchased the 27" Thunderbolt display as my main Final Cut Pro X screen and I have the Dell UP2414q 4K monitor plugged in as the Viewer display.
I have the Dell set to "Best for Display" and it works fine. I have some 4480 x 1920 RED footage and I have the FCP X Viewers on the Dell. The footage is set to 100% and it bleeds a little off the sides, as it should since the monitor is 3820 wide. It's at its native resolution.
The user interface elements of the second monitor are at normal size - the menu bar, the FCP X view options. Buying a 4K monitor and using Best for Display gives you the desktop the size of a typical 1080 monitor, but it all looks like a Retina display. It's very crisp.
So if you want a second monitor to hold a ton of Adobe palettes, and have a very large desktop, I'd recommend getting a Thunderbolt display, beause this display behaves like a 1080 monitor in that regard. If you want a 4K monitor specifically for color grading 4K footage at the native size so you can see all the artifacts and things you wouldn't see with the footage at 50%, this Dell monitor is fine and it's $890 on Amazon. It's not a professional color grader's monitor, obviously, but it does well for me.
I took some 4480 x 1920 RED footage that had a sky that was gray (the famous Mercedes in the mountains footage). I used the color picker color correction in FCP X and was able to select that sky very easily. I can see why the fat 4K footage is so great in regards to color grading. Because you don't have the massive color gradiation and artifacts you get in the more compressed media, when you use the color picker, it selects a very large, clean, section of the sky. I was able to quickly make the sky more saturated and blue and play it in real time (Better Performance) it's it's perfectly clean with no halos around the tree branches as they move into the foreground of the sky. Very nice!
Nice feature in FCP X is all the effects, transitions, etc., have a "4K-ready content only" button at the top so it only presents you with effects and transitions that work with 4K footage.
It took a lot of time calibrating this Dell monitor. It has the Adobe RGC color space built in but when I set it to that and set the OS X Display color option to Adobe RGB, it all had a very slight purple/pink huge. Very slight. Whites were not pure white like they are on the Thunderbolt and my blue sky had a tinge of pink to it.
I calibrated it with advanced options in the OS X Display preferences. I then connected my Samsung HD LED TV into the HDMI port of the Mac Pro and set it as my A/V display in FCP X. I was able to do the custom color setting on the Dell monitor itself and lower the saturation and RGB values. It took about 15 minutes to get it looking right. Now, I don't see the very slight purple/pink tink. My blue sky looks blue, etc., and it looks exactly how it will look on DVD and Blu-ray and projectors at film festivals.
The Samsung LED TV was a breeze to use. As soon as I plugged it into the HDMI port of the Mac Pro, the displays changed and OS X went to 1920 x 1080 60hz. The color was set to an HD color preset (I forget the number and I disconnected it). Arranging the multiple monitors is as you'd expect, just works.
BTW, I have 2 10 TB 5Big Lacie Thunderbolt 2 hard drives. They are about $1K each at 10 TBs. I have one for my footage and one as a backup with Time Machine. No formatting necessary - just plug them in and go. I plugged in the first one, told OS X no for Time Machine. Plugged in the second one, told Time Machine yes. Renamed the second drive "Backup". I turned off hard drive sleep becuase it's annoying. You hear it spin up, spin down, spin up, etc. as you work.
I used the AJA benchmark and this is what I got with 16 gig test file, 4K video simulation:
Write 740.3 MB/s
Read: 849.1 MB/s
Fast!
FCP X loads in 4 seconds on this system off the internal Flash drive.
Cheers!

Whats the strangest thing about the Java platform?

Hello All,
In an interview (http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Interviews/bloch_effective_08_qa.html) that I did with Joshua Bloch on java.sun.com, promoting the revised version of “Effective Java”, he discusses generics, enums, annotations, the under-use of Java libraries, the importance of minimizing the accessibility of classes and members and minimizing mutability, and other matters.
To my question: “What’s the strangest thing about the Java platform?” his answer was: “I'm going to say that the strangest thing about the Java platform is that the byte type is signed. I've never heard an explanation for this. It's quite counterintuitive and causes all sorts of errors.”

When migrating intel laptop with FCP 7 to retina laptop should I select "Settings"?

Bought a new retina laptop and want to migrate my intel laptop (OS 10.5.8) with fcp 7 to the new machine. Should I select "Settings" and/or "Other files and folders o Macintosh HD" to migrate in addition to "Applications" and "Users"? Want to make sure FCP 7 will work on new machine. Thanks!

I believe it is unlikely that they would corrupt any more than they usually do, which is not very often if at all. It runs exactly as it did on my Macbook Air running Lion. However I have only just upgraded to a retina MBP running ML in the last few weeks. I uninstalled FCP X at the start of the week in a blind fury when the simple things I wanted to do with it could not be done. and have been on FCP 7 ever since. Most notable gripes are not being able to export using the in/out points, it is really difficult to copy and paste clips from one sequence to another and there is no tabs for sequences. It's like it was made for an ipad.

Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

It's highly likely that there is a poor connection in the phone - either a pin in the dock connector or internal wiring harness. No software fixes or "tricks" would work, but I would recommend restoring in iTunes, first using a backup and if needed restore as a new phone.
Otherwise, opening and repairing the phone takes some tech knowledge that can't be relayed here. Apple doesn't repair phones other than replacing batteries (not inconceivable that you have a bad battery), but offers "out-of-warranty" replacement (refurb) phones for $149 (US). 3rd party iPhone repair centers may be able to fix it for less. Google to find them,
Tried soft and hard resets
FYI, there's no such thing as "soft" or "hard" resets in iPhone terminology. There is only one phone reset. You'll see those terms thrown around by technically ignorant posters, but they mean different things to different people and are actually archaic, 1980s PC terms that have nothing to do with iPhones.

Sony DSR-25 not found with FCP 5.1.2

Hi @ all,
I updated to FCP 5.1.2 to fix a dublicate bug with a Sony XDCam HD in 5.1.1 (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3269745#3269745)
This Problem was solved, but now i can't connect my Sony DSR-25 with Firewire to Mac. I have only one Firewire Onboard Slot and in 5.1.1 the DSR-25 worked fine. FCP doesn't finde the Deck
So did anyone have an intention or an idea what the problem could be with 5.1.2 ? Or did anyone has used a DSR-25 with FCP 5.1.2 already?
TOM

This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem with FCP (if that's what it is):
First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
Follow the instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite safe but you must Trash the Receipts AND re-install QT from the link provided.
If the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
Let us know how you get on!

Compressor 2 with FCP 5.1 workflow

I've been reading about using Compressor 2 with FCP 5.1 and have been a bit surprised by some of the following suggestions:
These are from Larry Jordan's website:
"Compressor 2 has problems with both motion estimation and 2-pass VBR. If you are using Compressor 2 make sure to select 1-pass VBR Better and set Motion Estimate to Better. Using Best settings creates very poor video.
There is a lot of talk on the Apple discussion site that 2 pass VBR gives artifacts, especially on transitions and is generally to be avoided.
To compress the file in Compressor, DON'T use "Export to Compressor" in FCP -- it doesn't work reliably. Instead, open Compressor, then drag the file into Compressor and adjust settings.
In their effort to tackle the problem of overshooting data-rates in C1, Apple seems to have ruined the quality of 2-pass VBR encoding to some degree. I've seen quite a few cases now where 2-pass VBR doesn't look as good as the simple 1-pass.
The new version of Compressor has technology in it that is not duplicated using QuickTime conversion.
I have never been comfortable with exporting using QuickTime Conversion. For one thing, it automatically down-samples your movie to 8-bit. For another, it will not be as good a quality as Sorenson Squeeze for the web, or Compressor for DVD. Third, Apple removed the MPEG-2 compression option with the release of QuickTime 7. Finally, the codecs it contains, while adequate for home use, are not up to professional standards either in terms of file size or image quality."
So, from what I gathered from Larry's website...
Use VBR 1 pass instead of VBR 2 pass for best quality
Use Motion Estimate Better instead of Best
Compressor offers better quality compression than Export>Quicktime Conversion
Don't use Export>For Compressor from FCP, instead export a FCP reference file from Export>Quicktime and use that in Compressor.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Richard

Well, different "experts" with slightly different views.
This from hanumang's response to Jerry Hofmann over in the FCP discussion forum:
FCP unrendered to Compressor 2?
hanumang, have you seen a quality difference using the compressor method?
Jerry
In my experience, yes, there is most definitely a difference in quality.
For sake of completeness, when it comes to exporting for DVDSP, this is how I'd break it down:
File > Export > Using Compressor on unrendered timelines in FCP. The best way to do things with FCP & Compressor - especially true if (as mentioned) you're working in some compressed format like DV and doing lots of filters, motion effect and compositing within FCP. In my experience, color correction comes out much cleaner on DV-sourced footage.
On a 1-10 scale, with 10 being the best that Compressor outputs, this method is a 10
File > Export > Using Compressor on rendered timelines in FCP. While inferior to #1, this tends to work better on high-motion footage that needs to be encoded at a low bit rate (which I'd consider 5 Mbps or lower) than #3 because of the frame-by-frame processing. Also, transitions tend to come out better (again, at lower bit rates).
I'd rate this method a 7 out of 10
File > Export > QuickTime Movie with DVD Studio Pro Markers, then import into Compressor 2. While this rates at the bottom, in many cases it's hard to distinguish the output from #2 & #3 unless you're encoding at a 5 Mbps or lower bit rate
I'd rate this a 6 out of 10
In terms of encoding times, if #3 is my baseline, #2 takes about 2-3x as long. #1 takes about 4-5x as long as #3 for me (depending on the level of complexity).

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was. I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software.
The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist That will take you right to that file.
(.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

All pictures/videos ever taken with my iPad are missing

I have the newest version of iPad (purchased in June). Recently my camera app was not working (it's the third time it's happened since I got my iPad) so I reset my iPad without erasing media/content, because that's the only thing I've found that will make the app start working again.
Anyhow, when I tried to sync using my most recent iClouds backup, every picture and video I've ever taken with my iPad was gone. All music and other photos (from my computer to iPad) synced just fine, but my iPad acts as if I've never taken a picture or video using "Camera," "Photo Booth," or "Instagram" and the pictures I created as wallpaper using the "Granimator" app are no longer there either except for the one I currently had/have as wallpaper. When I go to try and change my wallpaper though, the picture I currently have is not available as a picture option, so I don't know why it's still my wallpaper. I had some of the pictures I had taken with my iPad backed up in iPhoto on my computer, but even those don't automatically sync now. In fact, whereas iPhoto used to automatically open (along with iTunes) when I plugged my iPad into my computer, it doesn't open at all automatically. It did the first couple of times I tried (post reset) but it only ever came up with dotted outlines of where some pictures and videos on my iPad should have been, and would never retrieve the images so I could save them on my computer.
What the heck happened? I never deleted the photos, and the odd dotted outlines that used to appear in iPhoto post reset make me think that my data is somewhere floating around. After one sync, I even had two images "reappear" in my iPad photostream (two of the videos that aren't there now) but when I tried to open them, I got a message saying that the "URL" could not be read. I even reset with an iCloud backup from a few days before I initially reset, and the pictures/videos did not return.
I'm hesitant to take any pictures or videos now with my iPad and that really upsets me. Can I figure out where those pictures and videos disappeared to?
Please let me know too if you know if this is an iPad, iCloud, or camera issue. Normally, I would set up an appointment to go into an Apple store, but I'm living in Thailand and I know I won't find someone that speaks enough English well enough to help me with my problem, and I certainly can't explain my exact issue in Thai.
Thanks...

First double click the home button and swipe to close any open apps. Next reset, press and hold the home and power buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. Try taking a photo.

Rohmer -5D Mark II questions with FCP 7

Hey Rohmer
I own a 5d and I love it -I am amazed at the video quality and the 7D looks to be even better -I was reading a couple of your past post and - u said u have tested the footage on both FCP 2 and 3-
Well I have too and I thought it ran better under 10.5.6 than on snow. Reason being it the scrub function. I have a MACbook pro 2.33 model and I could scroll though footage fast on 10.5.6 and now on Snow it is real jerky -
I did a clean install of everything on Snow- Im just not sure I am happy with FCP 7 on Snow -will FCP 7 run on 10.5.6 ?
I have just seen some strange things with 7 and Snow -I do love the new color though-
also one other thing -I have been having this "preparing for display output" message come up every so ofter when I have multiple layers in FCP 7 and its annoying -never had it come up in FCP 2
any advice
Matt

Hi,
about your question, I'm running successfully FCP7 on 10.5.8 and I don't see why it shouldn't work fine also on 10.5.6.
From the Apple website, FCS min requirements:
- Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later
- QuickTime 7.6 or later
Regards,
Armando.

Mouse problem with FCP: drops clips or do not respond to clicks.

hi to all.
since i bought my macpro i've been noticing a very annoying problem when using FCP. there's a moment when the mouse stops to work properly and begins to drop clips when i try to move it or do not respond to clicks. two examples: 1- i want to move a clip from the end of the timeline to its beggining. in the middle of the way, it just drops the clip, as if i stoped pressing the mouse button. 2- i choose the pen tool so i can play with opacity and create fades. in the middle of the process of adjusting, it stops to work. i have to keep pressing several times to complete the action.
the problem is basically with the CLICK function. the cursor responds to the mouse properly, but when you click something to move it, it doesn't recognizes when you stop it and drops things. it happens only with fcp.
i'm using fcp 6.0.1, though the problem happened when i was using fcp 5.

I have a similar problem with my mouse in FCP. Perhaps not the same thing, but I think I figured out it's due to the design of the mouse. It's an Apple A1152, a white one-button mouse with a little scroll wheel. The thing is the whole top presses down for the click, and if I don't grab the two little tabs on the side that give you the leverage to keep on pressing the top, across larger distances I lose the pressure necessary and I drop whatever it is I was dragging. It's a pain because my hand is not the right size or shape to naturally get a hole of those little tabs. I don't know if your problem is related in any way but I thought I'd mention it just in case...,

Strangest thing I've ever experienced with fcp
