Unsupported Frame Rate Final Cut Pro

I am using Final Cut Pro 7 and I keep getting the Error: Unsupported Frame Rate Final Cut Pro Does not support this frame rate or the way it is Represented.
Here are the details of my media file:
H.264/AVC, 640x480 AAC48000 Hz, Stereo (LR) FPS: 29.95 Size 3.6GB Data Rate: 1.6Mbit/s
What about these details does FCP not support?

NTSC is 29.97, right?
plus, you posted in the FCPX section of this board..

  • HELP!  How can I view a clip frame by frame in final cut pro?

    Hi, does anyone out there know how to view a clip in final cut pro frame by frame. I don't really want to use the jogging function as you cannot see each individual frame just all the frames snapped together. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    It is really time to open the manuals, do the tutorials, and learn the basics of how this application works. You'll be amazed at what you learn it can do!

  • Dropped frames in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8

    Whilst working on projects in final cut pro playback is jumpy and I get the 'Frames were dropped' warning. This makes it extremely hard to edit and is massively frustrating... Anything I can do? I have upgraded to 16gb of ram on my Early 2011 13 inch macbook pro but it hasn't seemed to have done anything...

    Hi, I just upgraded to fcpx on our 2011 mac pro and I was having problems with audi not starting right away for playback in the timeline or clip library (.5 second or so delay) so I turned on the dropped frame check and sure enough I am getting them. I don't know if this is the reason for my audio playback lag, but was surprising to learn. I have premiere pro 6 on this mac and had fcp7 on it before and never saw this problem.
    The media I am importing is avchd 720P60 and the optimized media box is checked so I'm editing proress 4:2:2 60P footage.
    The Mac Pro has the internal apple raid card with fast drives (raid 0 mode) and plenty of ram (12gb). I do have the ATI Radeon HD 5870 card.
    Do I really  need to use proxy media instead with this setup?

  • How to set movie poster frame in final cut pro x

    Need some help on the following.
    Objective-using QT 7 or later, Current Compressor, FCP X or any other video editing tool, export a mp4 movie that displays a "poster frame" when the movie is inserted into iBook Author. When started by the user, the movie would begin to play from the first frame of the movie (not the poster frame).
    thx ra

    This sounds like a question for the iBooks Author forum. I think you set the poster frame in that application. How you make the video behave in the iBook is controlled in that application not in the editing application.

  • How to remove a freeze frame in final cut pro x

    I've added a freeze frame using Add Freeze Frame, but I don't know how to remove it and go back to the normal timing.  I can remove it immediately with Undo, but I don't know how to do it later.  I've searched around and the only close answer is using Modify > Retime > Reset Speed, but that doesn't do anything.  I also don't see anything in the Inspector window that allows me to remove the freeze frame.  Thanks.

    Hello Denise,
    Assuming your clip is on the Primary Storyline:
    Press Cmd+B to Blade the clip immediately before the frame in question.
    Select the first part of the clip and press Alt+Cmd+Up-Arrow to lift it from the Primary Storyline.
    Drag out the end to cover the duration of the clip you want to overwrite.
    Press Alt+Cmd+DOWN- arrow to overwrite to the Primary Storyline.
    I hope that's what you're looking for.

  • Black Side on Still Frames in Final Cut Pro X

    Everytime I make a freeze frame in one of my videos in FCP X, there's a faded black side in the video when the video comes to that part of the video. I have an arrow pointing to something right above the freeze frame in my timeline, but the side is black for some reason and is a faded black when I share the video. Why?

  • How do i resolve dropped frames in final cut pro hd academic 4.5?

    i've tried all the suggestions in the "warning box"...i also remember seeing somewhere that the viewer and canvas windows shouldn't overlap or something?  should i throw salt over shoulder or wear a certain color or something?

    Here are some things that may affect RT playback:
    1. Make sure you have enough free space on all hard drives; 10 to 20% free space is a good amount.
    2. Do not keep media and render files on your boot drive.  They should be stored on a 7200rpm hard drive that is either internal, or connected via Firewire or eSATA.  USB drives are not recommended.
    3. Keep the Canvas window at "Fit to Window" or smaller, but never larger than 100%.
    4. Turn of Canvas overlays such as Wireframe, Title Safe or level warnings.
    5. Only use media that works natively in FCP.  Do no use video formats like H.2.64.
    6. Render the Timeline fully; make sure all render types are checked in the Sequence->Render menus.

  • Quicktime 7.1.5/Final Cut Pro 4.5 Image quality problems

    Hi.
    A lot of the time when I export .dv video into a lower quality video (.mov, .mp4) there are weird lines that appear in the motion. It's hard to explain, so I will post an image of it.
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/KhyronJinn/Screens%20with%20a%20purpose/Q uickTimePlayerScreenSnapz001.jpg
    *Just tried again*
    This happens with ANY export to any settings, even at the highest quality and almost identical hard drive space. I've also observed this problem when using still frames in Final Cut Pro, these lines of motion (I guess you could call them?) from one frame to another when extracted from a still. I'm at a complete loss here.

    Use the De-interlace filter in FCP...If your using Compressor, best bet is to de-interlace in Compressor.

  • Final Cut Pro dropped frame rate issue

    Hi there, i currently shot a short film on the canon 5d mark II 30fps and i am trying to edit it in final cut studio 2. I have recently bought the new macbook pro 15inch 2gb module.
    Now the canon footage is h.264 but when importing the clips into final cut pro 6 there is a lot of dropped frame rate issues but I thought this machine could handle HD footage?
    Can someone more advanced than myself recommend what i am doing wrong or a work flow that i can work with to stop dropped frame rates and render times.
    Last piece of information, the project will be entered in film festivals in the spring its only a 3 minute short and i have 5 folders of footage under 4gb each which was taken from the camera
    Thanks for your help.
    Michael

    You are missing a huge conceptual point. If the file can not spool off of the hard drive fast enough, you get dropped frames. It isn't a processor or ram issue right now, it is a hard drive speed issue. Your system drive is overtaxed trying to run OSX, applications AND spool video. It just can't keep up. Changing the graphic card isn't going to help (and how do you change the card in a laptop?)
    Get an external esata drive - with the new MacBookPro you'll need an esata Expresscard34 adapter for the computer to connect the drive. Firewire is not an option with that machine and USB2 will not cut it with high data rate formats like ProRes.
    When you drop in the ProRes clip to the timeline and it tells you there is a mismatch, this means your preset for the timeline is something other than your clip. You WANT ProRes and you need the sequence to match your clip - tell the program to CHANGE the sequence to match the clip.
    Video is not easy and it isn't inexpensive. Time to open up those manuals and your wallet!
    Good luck,

  • Where do I find the frame rate of my project in Final Cut Pro?

    Shot in 24p. Can't find out where to look in Final Cut Pro to confirm that my project is still in 24p.

    To elaborate a little on what MtD's post, uUnlike Avid, There is no frame rate associated with an fcp project.  Sequences and Clips all have frame rates associated with them.  And be aware that 24p is actually 23.976 fps.  It is sometimes listed as 23.98 fps (just to make you crazy or crazier as the case may be).

  • AVCHD, Panasonic SD9, and Final Cut Pro FRAME RATE! crashing!

    Ok - I am still getting nowhere with hidef - esp AVCHD!
    I purchased a brand new iMac, totally spec'd out, AND Final Cut Studio YESTERDAY.
    I am trying to import AVCHD files - to no avail - crashes FCP.
    I tried the work-around of using Voltaic, which converts to the AIC, and when I import THOSE files the video shows as 10fps. I cannot seem to get the correct settings to get the video to play back up to speed. The audio sounds correct, but the video is in slow motion. Can someone help me figure out how to use $3,300 of a new computer and software -that I bought in order to use a $800 camera? Am I crazy or what?
    ALSO, iMovie 08 will NOT run AVCHD files - OR convert them, I tried, and that crashed TOO!
    Apple has let me down, even though their tech assistant was very nice on the phone - there is STILL no solution. I cannot use FCP OR iMovie. How ridiculous!
    HELP PLEASE!

    Thanks for your reply - but Perian 1.1 does not solve it at all - FCP still crashes upon attempting log and transfer..
    My system is this: 10.5.2 OS
    iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    And I have TODAY'S latest version of FCP.
    Are you using the exact same camera? Or are you confusing it with the Panasonic HDC-SD5? I'm using the SD9 - tech support just sent me this article:
    Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express: Unexpected quit with Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD
    Thanks again - I sure wish I could use my 800$ camera and 3,300$ hardware and software!
    Best,

  • Final Cut Pro X Image Sequence Export missing frames per second option?

    I am using the trial version of Final Cut Pro X.  I can export an image sequence but it will only allow me to do so at 30 frames per second -every single frame! 
    So a 10 min movie takes half an hour to export 20,000+ frames that no one on earth has time to look thru.
    In my old Final Cut Express I was able to choose 1 or 2 frames per second, which was just right.
    What am I missing?
    Do I need to buy Quicktime Pro or Compressor to allow me to export image sequences without exporting every frame?
    Why would Apple even have an image sequence export if it only allows you to export every frame, or it that only in the trial version?
    Thank you

    I found a free option for you, if you don't already have Compressor 4.
    In FCPX create your movie. Then SHARE as a Master File.
    Get MPEG Streamclip, which is a free app available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your Master File into MPEG Streamclip.
    In MPEG Streamclip, select FILE/EXPORT TO OTHER FORMATS.
    In FORMAT: choose IMAGE SEQUENCE
    In OPTIONS, choose your frame rate.

  • Final Cut Pro and EditShare - Dropped Frames

    Hey,
    My Company just got a new EditShare File Sharing server. It's a 5 Rack with 24 drives, for a total of 18TB of space. The problem is, when we're trying to capture straight to the ES (which has 8 RAIDS) there are Dropped Frame Errors appearing. We've tried turning the Internet off, and even re-organized the connection preferences so the ES is the first to be refreshed, but we're still having dropped frames. Info:
    Final Cut Pro - 5.1.2
    Capturing from a DVCPRO 50 Deck thru Firewire
    EditShare - 4.0.2
    G5 Mac with OS 10.4.7
    note Didn't get so many dropped frames when using LaCie Drives. Could be connection speed or not enough broadband. Any Suggestions? Thanks.
    FraserPost

    I believe it's fiber, but not sure. We're also checking because the Gigabit switch has 3 settings, 10/100/1000 gigabits, so it could be at a lower setting, and that's causing a backup in the broadband speed. We're also noticing that the transfer rate from our External HDs (which we were capturing to before) to the ES was slower than anticipated.
    Anyone else find this problem with an EditShare or File Sharing server?
    Just checked, it's CAT6 cables.

  • Final Cut Pro drop frames on timeline playback

    i have Mac Pro Dual Xeon 2.0Ghz, 3GB Ram, 2 SATA IIHDs 1 for system and other for Final Cut.
    But when inport any video to timeline and try to play back the only think i get is dropped frames. I have to render and render anyting i put in timeline.

    Help me!
    In my school i have power mac G4 DP with 768 ram and final cut 5.0 with no problems, just rocks.

    If you have to render... it's a mismatch.
    Check your video files again... AGAIN!
    Scroll across the video file in your browser window and see what EXACTLY the codec and size and frame rates are.
    IF they don't match your sequence you'll have to render.
    Now -- sometimes if the windows are overlapping or your video isn't set to Fit-to-Fill for the windows you'll get some dropped frames... make sure that is good too.

  • Final Cut Pro 7 Log and Capture Frame Sizes

    When importing from a Roland VR-5 mixer into Final Cut Pro 7, we get black border/bars on the left and right sides of the preview. We didn't think anything of it, that it might have just been the preview window. These bars are recorded though, it's as if we're not recording the full frame size coming out of our mixer. We went into the settings on the VR-5 and everything was configured to be 720x480, and that the settings in FCP matched. The image still gets cut off. Any ideas?

    Some background:
    720x480 is a non-square format. It can either be the equal of 640 x 480 (4:3) or 954 x 480 (16:9) depending on what you tell your editing software the incoming stream will be.
    If you told FCP the incoming stream is DV/NTSC 4:3 and you are getting a pillarboxed image, FCP is thinking you are sending it a 16:9 version and is filling the the sides to keep the aspect ratio correct.
    It would help to know a whole lot more about settings within FCP and what your mixer is putting out.
