Using Firestore FS-4 with FCP Problem

When importing footage from the Firestore FS-4 the video will not play back correctly in the viewer. It freezes and skips.
When the footage is brought into the timeline - the audio needs to be rendered but the video plays back ok.
I have checked all the settings - video playback rate is correct at 29.97fps the audio is correct at 48kHz.
Everything is fine after the audio is rendered in the timeline but when rather edit the clips in the viewer with audio before bringing into the the timeline.
All other imported media plays fine in the viewer just clips from the FS-4 that seems to be the problem. Any suggestions or experience with this issue would be appreciated.

I take it that you've checked you're sequence and project setting and they all match the 24P footage? What about making a new sequence using the easy setup and pulling footage into that, does it still drift there?
Honestly besides these little troubleshooting ideas I'm stumped, maybe one of the veterans has an idea.

    This has happened on several computers. I can download using video download helper with on problems until I attempt to download "Dishonorable Disclosures" on You Tube once a download attempt is made on that video download helper stops working for that video or any other video. Could this be a virus or malware? How do I fix download helper after this happens?

    Which movie do you mean?

  • Using Digital Beta deck with FCP 4

    Can one use a digibeta deck with FCP via a firewire? What should the settings be if I want to keep everything uncompressed? Space is not an issue. I ask since I've only used minidv and DVcam.
    thanks so much!

    You need a capture card (Aurora, AJA, Decklink) and drives capable of uncompressed playback.
    The only card that captures and sends the signal thru a firewire cable is the AJA I/O, but the Aurora and Decklink solutions are cheaper. Aurora being my favorite.

  • Using the Canon FS11 with FCP

    Hi everyone
    I'm helping someone who is using the FS11 camera (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...&modelid=16183), which records in MPEG2 .mod files.
    Not much info online, and it doesn't seem to be compatible with FCP Log and Transfer, and its also USB. (although strangely enough the camera can be purchased through Apple sites in come countries).
    We've been using MPEG streamclip to convert the files to Quicktime at the moment. But it's rather labour intensive, and I'm not convinced that MPEG SteamClip is doing the best compression.
    Any thoughts on this? Has anyone created a workflow for this camera? Once I figure it out I might post one as it seems quite a few people are using it.
    Thanks community!

    I had to look up what an XM1 is and found out it is a PAL GL-1. I have the GL-1 (NTSC) and have never had a problem loading it into iMovie.

  • How do I use purchaed iTunes music with FCP???!!!

    Is it really true that you cannot use purchased music from iTunes with FCP? There HAS to be a way. I promise I will not sell my video. REALLY TRULY!!!

    The terms of use for the iTunes tracks is not for professional use, so if you want to use a song, make your movie in iMovie which will allow you to use the tracks.

  • How To Use Director's Cut with FCP

    How do I use Director's Cut with Final Cut Pro? I know it'll work, but I just don't know how. I connect it and FCP says VTR connected, but then when I try to capture it it says to make sure device is in VTR mode.

    Think you'll have to choose non-controllable device in fcp menu>AV Settings>Device Contol Preset tab.

  • How to use third party plugin with FCP, I'm lost...

    Hello,
    I need informations about how to use plugins with FCP.
    I do edit mostly classical concerts. I'd like to do basic audio post prod, without swaping between Soundtrack and FCP.
    I need two simple things : add reverb (the built in reverb is really bad), and enhancer. So I looked for specialised third party audio plugins, but I couldn't manage to find something that work for me...
    - Do FCP support VST plugins ? How to install them ?
    - I tried a few audio units plugins. It works, but I couldn't get a friendly visual interface, like VST effects racks. Is it possible in FCP ?
    - does anybody know a good reverb plugin with a friendly interface compatible with FCP ?
    Please help, I'm lost !
    Emmanuel

    I need two simple things : add reverb (the built in reverb is really bad), and enhancer.< </div>
    What you NEED is a better recordist at the concert, someone who understands the peculiarities of your specific video deliver plans.
    Soundtrack Pro is right up there with Motion in its impossible-to-understand interface paradigm shift away from industry standard tools. However, if you are in the position of being a sound editor, you must find a tool that works for you. STP might not be the one, certainly isn't for me. You could always try Logic. Yeah, good luck with THAT.

  • I'm getting "an error occurred loading this content" when trying to airplay youtube from my iPhone 5.  My brother is using his iPhone 4s with no problem.  Is there something wrong with my settings?

    I'm trying to airplay youtube from my iPhone 5 but I'm getting the error message.  I can airplay music, pictures, and other video, but no streaming.  My brother is using my appletv and wi-fi with his iphone 4s with no problems.  Any suggestions?

    I started having this problem a week or so ago, after having used the Apple TV for a couple of months with only some minor problems.  Yesterday, however, I started getting this problem again and today I could not get to Airplay from my Ipad - just kept getting the "error occurred" message on my tv screen.  I tried the various fixes I could find on Google - at least the ones I could understand - but with no luck.  Then I decided to bite the bullet and pay for Apple support, even tho the problem is with the device and not due to my ignorance.  So I talked with a support person who said I would have to pay $19.95 for 30 days of support and was glad to take my credit card information.  This person had never heard of the problem, and ending up bumping me up to an Apple TV specialist, after spending 20 minutes or so on hold, and explaining the problem, etc.  I finally got to the specialist who had heard of this problem and said that she was crediting me for the $19.95, since the problem is due to a KNOWN HARDWARE ERROR.  In fact, she said that Apple would give me a new, replacement unit if I would go to the nearest Apple store.  This even tho I bought the unit used - it is still covered.  Now I have to make a 100 mile round trip to the Apple store, since Apple won't send the new one out in the mail, even if I return mine first.  And Apple won't pay for my gas.  So that's the mostly good and some bad news.  I hope that the new unit won't have this problem, but I think the bigger issue is that since Apple knew about the problem that affects certain serial numbers, why don't they post that information on their support sites or just make it findable by a Google search.  Whenever I have had a problem with Windows, I have always been able to find a Microsoft article or fix addressing it by doing a Google search, but Apple, always desiring to be arcane and opaque, isn't interested in this approach.  In fact, why not just put together a "known problems" site for Apple products so that users can find this kind of information easily, without having to put out $19.95 for technical support that isn't needed, and wasting their own time (and money, as in my case, for gas).  The bottom line is that all of the people with this problem who posted (and there are many) were apparently ignorant that Apple KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WILL REPLACE THE BAD UNITS.  This is because, I am sure, they don't want to shell out the $19.95.  Anyway, hope this helps someone.  I doubt if Apple will listen to the suggestion.   Good luck..

  • Using Digi 002 rack with FCP

    Does anyone have experience with using a Pro Tools Digi 002 rack with Final Cut? I'm having some trouble making it work. I just want to be able to use during editing for audio output. The 002 shows up as viable device in audio/video setup, however, FCP claims it only has one output, instead of the 8 it has. Really, at this point in time I'd be happy with 2 channels recognized, but I certainly would like to stay away from mono. Any ideas?
    --Justin S.
    I'm running FCPHD 4.5

    I think your best bet is to contact DigiDesign. I have run several searches on the FCP forums and SoundTrackPro forums for you. Nothing came up that indicates the device you are using works with FCP but I didn't read 'em all.

  • Anyone tried using a QText file with FCP?

    I was just wondering if there is some way to utilize a QText file for captioning with FCP, either directly of by importing it into QTPro, then exporting it in a form that FCP understands? The idea is to use these as timed text overlays.

    QText is a bit more, at least to my limited understanding. Let's say you have a QText file with 10 lines of text you want to display. In the header you can specify color, size, etc. Before each line of text you enter a time code which represents the start time for displaying that line. For example:
    [00:00:00]
    This is my first line and displays for 4 seconds
    [00:00:04]
    This line is displayed 4 seconds after the first, and displays for 6 seconds
    [00:00:10]
    and this line is 6 seconds after the one above (i.e. 10 seconds in).
    and so on. One way to look at it, each line of text becomes a slide which displays until the next line is called.
    When fed to QTime, you get a very nice vector graphics display of each line at the specified time. It would be great if I could export that as a video file which I then could use in an overlay track in FCP. QTPro offers several export options including such as MP4, m4v, etc. Dragging these files into FCP either generates a Codec error when rendered or isn't recognized at all. I guess I could use a video screen capture program and capture the QTP display, but that seems like a crude and slow process. I had hoped, since FCP and QTP are both Apple products they would have found some way to integrate them. No mention of QText in the FCP help file, so it would appear no such luck.

  • Firefox opened Oct 15, 2014 as a black screen. I have been using it for years with no problems. Can't get it to reinstall.

    I have a black screen as of starting up Mozilla this morning. No address bar or any tabs are available. I have done system restore to an earlier date when I knew it was functioning and still have the same problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and have the same problem.

    hello laplus5, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd2000/3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • Using DVC Pro HD with FCP 5.1.4

    Hey everyone!
    I'm planning a new project and both the client and myself would like to use DVC Pro HD for filming. I'm just a little worried about how FCP 5 will handle the gig. As well I like to know if any other gear such a Raid drives are necessary. I would really appreciate any advice.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Shane,
    You answered a questioned I posted on the apple discussion site about editing in DVCPRO HD, I guess because my gig is rapidly approaching and I want to get things done right I have another question. I hope you don't mind.
    I have a MacBook Pro 2.16GHz with 1 gig of ram, I was planning on using an AJ HDX900 or 400 for shooting. I'm going to purchase an Apple 23" inch cinema display and most like a Matrox MXO as you suggested I would probably need. " Buy what you need when you need it" or something like that right! You can see I have been reading your blog. Back to the matter at hand, I was wondering if my set up is fast enough and powerful enough to edith the material and do I use the Matrox to output to a betacam deck afterwards? Sorry my questions may seem a little or very simple but I am rather new to the industry.
    Thanks for any help,
    Guy
    PS I also mailed this to you so just ignore one or the other, thanks again and happy Canada day!

  • 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!

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
