TechSmith ensharpen footage not readable on FCP 7.03

Hi,
I have problems to read footage encoded with TechSmith ensharpen 1.3 codec in FinalCut Pro 7.03. Any ideas ?
Thanks for your help

David is correct. You're using Camtasia, right? Yep, that's a very proprietary codec. And their codec download won't help, it only reads, won't write, in FCP.
Convert to ProRes (LT), you'll be fine.

HD footage not visible in FCP 5

Hi there,
I'm using FCP 5 on a MBP. I captured some HD footage from a Sony Camera and transferred it from my Producer's MBP to my Portable HD. On my producer's MBP, the footage looked fine, but when I imported it into Final Cut, I have the audio but not the video (all I have is a black screen). I also have a red "need to render" but it refuses to render when I hit Option R. Can someone help me please?

Apart from what Jon asked, what exact version of FCP?
If it is 5.0.4, it is incompatible with your hardware.

TechSmith Ensharpen AVI support in FCP

I spoke with the support folks at TechSmith, and they told me that in previous versions of FCP (pre-7), there was support for exporting to AVI using the Ensharpen encoder (currently, you can only go to QT). He made it sound like the support issue was on Apple's side - something changed in FCP7?
Any corrorboration on this?
Any idea if Apple might through this back into FCP on an update?

There is no FCP 7 (until maybe 2008)...are you sure
you don't mean QT 7?
I've not used it, but I've got AVI export on FCP
4.5/QT 6.5.2/OSX.3.9

Yeah, oops. I meant in the most recent FC. 5.1, I think? I've got the AVI export option, but the TechSmith Ensharpen codec doesn't show up as an option.
I've gone with Flip4Mac instead, and it's been working very well.

Can somebody please please help me! External harddrive not readable due to dumb mistake!

What is quite possibly one of the dumbest decisions i ever made in my life, I disconnected my external harddrive from my imac & plugged it into a laptop that has Windows 7 to trasfer footage from there to my imac more quicker. I clciked an option that allowed me to assign a letter to it to it can be read by the laptop (however, I would of needed to format the harddrive which I thankfully didn't). Please understand that erasing the entire harddrive is NOT an option! I am a filmmaker & I have so many years of work on there, including videos, music, & documents.
When the computer starts up I get hit with "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"! I tried Disk Utiity & even though it recognizes the drive's existence, I cannot repair or mount...nor can I access any of the files! I also tried Diskwarrior & got "directory cannot be rebuilt, the file system is unsupported".
If theres anything you guys can do to help me, please do so. My life was on that harddrive & losing it would be the most devistating thing I could ever experience. A movie I finished not too long ago...is also on that harddrive. I'll send you a full video completely thanking you for your help!

Call a professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers. Their services are very expensive, but without backups, you have no choice but to pay whatever they ask.

H.264 not readable in DVD Studio Pro

I'm using compressor for a massive DVD Yearbook. The setting I am using is the H.264 For DVD Studio Pro. However, when importing the converted videos into DVD STudio Pro, the software gives an error saying, "This format is not readable by DVD SP." What gives? If it says H.264 for DVD Studio Pro, why will the program not read a file created specifically for it?

The only format that DVDs read is mpeg 2. H.264 is a great compression, but not DVD compatible.
You can take the original full quality .mov and compress to mpeg2 from that. It'll give you better quailty than compressing an already-compressed file. "Export using compressor" option in FCP is the best choice -- then choose DVD presets when compressor opens.

RED Camera footage is Jumpy in FCP

Hello!
I am working off of an iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, with FCP version 6.0.4 (yes its older but I can't afford the newer version just yet). I downloaded the component from the red website in order to view the footage in quicktime and FCP, but its VERY jumpy and skips frames. I am also sourcing the footage from an external hard drive. Ive searched the internet and these forums for a solution to this but didn't find any helpful links. Does anyone know?

That's not entirely true - the fast RAID part - REDCode is highly compressed, so it isn't that demanding on disk bandwidth, however it is extremely CPU intensive. Which is where the stuttering comes from. Even on an 8 core system, without rendering, the CPU has to DeBayer and downcovert on the fly, 4K material to 1920x1080 - it's bound to skip a few frames now and then...

Can XL2 16:9 60i footage be catured in FCP 3.0?

I'm having trouble capturing my XL2 16:9 60i footage in FCP3.0. Funky lines appear around areas of movement. Is the native 16:9 of the XL2 simply not compatible with FCP 3.0?
I had to create a custom preset for 16:9 and it's basically
720x480 NTSC DV (3:2) with the 16:9 anamorphic box checked.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve

Welcome to the forum Stephen!
It should be compatible. Are you viewing this on an external video monitor? If not, try that because what you see in the Viewer isn't always what you really have.
Might try capturing as standard DV, then turning on the checkbox to make the clip anamorphic after the capture too. The device control for that camera should be FireWire Basic too.

"your project file is not readable"HELP

"your project file is not readable" is the message I am getting in imovie4.0.1 ... I have just spent 10 hours editing this thing tonight... and numerous hours the last week. I decided to take a break half hour ago and give me and the mac a breather... so I turn the computer back on and go to open my project and get that message. What more can I say... I save alot while I am editing... every 20 min at the most. I am gonna loose it if I lose it... I have over 580 clips in this thing... the tunes were falling into place real nice toooo,,, what can i do???
This is a skateboard video ,,, thats why so many clips... other projects still open...ah man... I bought this computer just for this project... I can not afford for this to happen to me... I am shaking .,.. my nerves... help please.

After losing a whole project in an earlier version of iMovie (when there was no .mov file in the project folder), I started doing several things to prevent another nightmare. ;o)
First, I never empty the trash. I save the project frequently--especially after an edit that was difficult. I quit iMovie and duplicate the project file AND the .mov file several times per iMovie. (File>Duplicate) I type a time code after the name of the duplicates, so it's easy to find the latest one. And periodically I reboot...this may be like knocking on wood.
IF you have these backups AND you get a corrupted project file, you can open a new iMovie project, import the clips, and replace the NEW project file and .mov with the backups. The backups must have the exact name as the new files being replaced.
I've only had to use this one time, but it worked great. I lost some editing, but it was not a big deal compared to losing a whole project.
I THINK this would work even if you lost all your clips, provided you imported the original footage from the same starting points and in the same order as in the original project. If wouldn't be easy with 160 clips, but most of my iMovies are of events captured on one or two miniDV tapes and possibly a couple of Keynote presentations, which I prefer for some of the intros and titling.
Karl, if you come up with a program to repair a corrupted file, you will be a Superhero!

External Hard drive "not readable", does not show up in Disk Warrior either. Help me, please!

I have a 500gb G Drive Slim that is almost brand new. I accidentally pulled the cord out when it was connected, and now when I try to open it, it says "not readable by this computer." This is what I see when I go into disc utility:
I called G Drive, and they told me to download Disk Warrior 4. I did, and this is what I see when I open it:
My hard drive doesn't show up...i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong but I just paid $100 dollars for this and I'd really like some help. I read the manual and it wasn't helpful at all.
Please help me!

Make sure it's format is Mac OS Extended (Journeled).
To check it's format, plug in the External HDD and search Disk Utility in the spotlight. Click the External HDD and go to the Partition tab. If it isn't Mac OS Extended change it and format it.
You shouldn't need any of these external applications to use it. I have one and use it like a flash drive.

External Seagate drive suddenly "not readable" by iMac

I'm having a problem with a Seagate Backup Plus external desktop hard drive.
It was working fine, but then I restarted my computer and got a window with the error message: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." and options to Initialize…, Ignore, or Eject.
I rebooted my computer a few times, and each time I get the same error message. When I open Disk Utility, I see the hard drive listed in the side bar, but it is not mounted and will not mount. Each time it is labeled something like "disk2s2," "disk10s2" or "disk6s2," etc. That changes slightly each time like that, but seems to always begin with "disk" and end with "s2."
I ran repair disk and got the following result:
The drive is about three months old. I think it did something like this when I first bought it (I remember seeing the "disk2s2" label in the Disk Utility sidebar), but restarting solved it then. Now it seems to keep happening every time I restart.
I would really appreciate any help or information any of you can provide.

External hard drive spontaneously unmounted? Try these tips:
NEW FIRMWARE: Try updating your external hard drive's firmware, which is available from your drive manufacturers Web site--or just use VersionTracker's (www.versiontracker.com) search function to find it. Be sure to back up your data before applying the update, and carefully follow the manufacturers instructions.
OUT OF iSIGHT: If you're using an iSight camera while you're using a FireWire drive, the camera may be interfering with the drive's ability to stay mounted. Try temporarily disconnecting your iSight and moving it to a separate FireWire port. If you have multiple FireWire devices, try using a FireWire hub.
POWER PROBLEM: A faulty power adapter could be causing your drive to unmount. Your drive may not be getting enough juice to stay on, causing the drive to turn off and thereby unmounting it from your Mac. Alternately, the power adapter may not be providing a steady amount of power, causing your drive to turn on and off. Try replacing the adapter. If you can't get a replacement adapter from the hard drive manufacturer, try your local electronics store. Just make sure the adapter you choose has the same connector and input/output voltage. you can find the input/output voltage on the adapter itself.
Cheers!

The UI text of the menus are not readable so it's impossible to work with

Hi
I install the photoshop cs6(x64) and i have the following problem. The UI text of the menus(not the toolbar drop down menus) are not readable so it's impossible to work with. After that, I completely uninstall the cs6 photoshop and i tried to install photoshop cc(x64)-with clean install- but the problem still exist.
Also I tried to change display settings from 1600x900(recommened)but the problem still exist...I send you some photos of the menus to understand better what I mean.Any suggestions? Specifications
Toshiba Satellite L775-15NWin 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
Intel Core i5-2430M 2.4GHz
Ram 8gb
Monitor 17"
Geforce GT 525M

Right click on your desktop and choose Properties, then choose Window Color, Advanced Appearance settings...
Click on the Message Text to look at your Message Box item settings. Is the font Segoe UI, 9 point, color black?
Also, in Photoshop, check your Edit - Preferences - Interface menu. What is your UI Font Size there? Try changing it to something else, closing and restarting Photoshop, then changing it back.
Lastly, you could try resetting your Photoshop preferences to defaults. Press and hold Command - Shift - Option simultaneously (or Control - Shift - Alt if on a PC) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

Hello,
I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
"The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
(Error code - 36)"
Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
Here are the specifications:
Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
"Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
Am I doing this the right way?
Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
Thanks

To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
Thanks Kappy

How do i redeem an itunes giftcard code if the code is not readable?

how do i redeem an itunes giftcard code if the code is not readable when scratched off??

Yes, i scratched it and some of the numbers came off with it. is the card no good now?

How do I view and open all my files again that are on my external hard drive?? Error message saying 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' Three options are Initialize, Ignore or Eject.

I have recently purchased Toshiba 1TB hard drive and I set it up and I was able to transfer all my files onto it such as my music, photos, documents. I had correctly ejected and used it again and all these files were safely stored and accessible afterwards. However after I rebooted my computer as it had been going slow and I had too much clogging it up once I reconnected the external hard drive I have error message saying 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' Three options are Initialize, Ignore or Eject. How do I access all my files? I set it up to work on both mac and windows. I have tried both another mac and windows computer and same issue occurs?? I am worried that all my personal files are gone but am confused as the drive has had absolutely no damage to it as it was in a very short time frame and its never left the same spot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for your quick response. I had a look at your discussion... I tried it on a Windows machine and I thought that was compatible with ExFAT?
Therefore I need to attempt to use my external hard drive with a machine that boasts OS X 10.6.5 or above and then it should work?
Thanks

I am getting the message "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer" when I plug in a verizon air card into my macbook air. It also does not show up as a device on my desktop. However, I select "ignore" and am still able to connect.

Whenever I insert my verizon air card into my MBA, I get the message "the disc you inserted was not readable by the computer", with the option to either ignore or eject. I select ignore, and am able to connect to the internet, but don't know why this happens. Also, the air card is not showing up as a peripheral on my desk top. Any ideas why this might be happening and how to fix it?

When I unplugged (power) and plugged in again to restart it, yes, I heard it spin and click. Not since then though. I assumed it went to sleep and since the computers don't recognize it they won't wake it.
If I need to replace it can the data on it be recovered?
