What happened to Final Cut's integration with Motion??  Renders are hosed..

So is it just me? I have a HUGE project (1.5 hour bio/documentary) that is crashing Final Cut every time it tries to render or export. I was getting an error that said the crash could have been possible to a "ProGraphics plug-in." I can't locate any plug-in anywhere on any drive that's associated with "ProGraphics" at all. From what I gather it's something to do with Motion integration, causing problems with renders. Basically, I've used many Motion effects within my Final Cut sequences. They're nested everywhere, and were rendering just fine a few days ago (although I was still having issues with exporting). So basically I either need to wait for a fix, or go back and re-cut without the Motion graphics. Uggh. Disgusted and in need of a patch (or a drink).
My versions of all software are current, as is my operating system. I've done all updates and patches (I'm a versiontracker geek so I keep up with this stuff). I've deleted preferences, dumped all render files (that's when I figured out the rendering issues with Motion), rebuilt permissions, created a clean User Account, etc. I've done hardware tests on the drives and RAM. I'm out of options.
Can anyone from Apple confirm that there are indeed issues with this, just to reassure me that I'm not going insane?
Thanks.

Try searching the forums for that ProGraphics term., might find something that helps.
Chances are you lost or damaged a system-level hook in one of your recent efforts to stay up to date. Most of us would not update QT or the pro apps until big projects are out the door or securely backed up. We often print to tape or export a completely flattened movie before running major upgrades to the Mac OS.
However, I just popped open an old FCP project that has some Motion work in it from about 8 months ago. Everything hooked right up and some tests rendered okay.
Huge projects with delicately nested elements need careful workflow decisions. I try to pre-render or use proxies where ever possible. Hard lessons learned over a decode of After Effects work. Hope you get better advice but searching for the ProGraphics error term will get you results faster.

  • Final Cut edits integrated into Motion project

    Hey folks,
    I have edited my clips in FCP and added simple additive dissolves as transitions. When I send the sequence to a new motion project all of my transitions (dissolves) are not intact. How do I preserve these moving my sequence into motion?

    Not exactly correct. Motion 3 preserves all of Final Cut's Motion tab properties, including scale, rotation, crop, dropshadow, etc. - including speedchanges.
    What isn't preserved is filters (with the exception of the SmoothCam filter), transitions, and generators.
    One solution is to keyframe opacity in FCP instead of using a cross-dissolve. Another is to use the fade in/fade out behavior in Motion.

    I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
    I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
    Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

  • What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod?

    What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

  • Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

    Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.

  • What happen when we connect Two PC with IP from Same subnets

    Scenario 2nd : What happen when we connect Two PC with IP from Same subnets. PC1 -192.168.10.1/24 PC2 - 192.168.10.2 on a two different L2 Switch on different vlans which are connected via a LAN cable.
    All ports are access ports
    Interview Question : No More Info.
    Pc1<SwA>------<SwB>PC2
    Q.1 Will they communicate If yes what will be packet/frame flow.
    Q.2 If not where will be the packet/frame drop. ? Why.
    I need step by step if possible plz how the packet moves , vlan taggings n all internal works that happens behind .. plz 
    thnx in advnce ....

    Hi Abhishesk,
    The PCs should communicate each othet.
    Since there is no trunk port involved, there is not tagging involved.
    Since both the PCs are into the same subnet. PC1 will not need default gateway for the communication with PC2. So PC1 will start with sending ARP request for PC2 MAC address.
     Since all the ports in SW1 are in same VLAN, the ARP should reach all ports including the switchport where SW2 is connected to.
    Sw2 has got a complete different access port on ALL the switchports. Sw2 will receive the ARP from Sw1. Remember that there is no tagging for the frame. Hence Sw2 will again send the ARP packet to all the ports which belong to same VLAN wherein the packet is received. ie, Sw2 will send the ARP packet to all the ports in Sw2. PC2 will also get the the ARP.
    The ARP reply will make it way back using the same logic.
    Now both the PCs can start the actual packet exchange.

  • Will final cut express work with os maverick

    I am running mountain lion and FCE. will final cut express work with mavericks.?

    A follow-up to my previous post.  FCE 4.0.1 is working fine with Mavericks on the computer at my church (we use it to video-tape sermons and masses for YouTube). 
    A few weeks ago, I purchased a copy of FCE 4.0 from Amazon (one of only two left).  It would NOT work with Mavericks, and there was no upgrade available on the App Store (the only source of software upgrades with Mavericks).  So, I installed FCE on another iMac running Lion.  It installed just fine, and when I went to "Check for New Software" in "the apple", it found the upgrade to 4.0.1, installed it, I copied it to a blank DVD, and installed that on my iMac running Mavericks.  It is working fine.  (HINT TO APPLE: Can we please go back to the simple "Check for Software Updates" instead of the App Store?  Ever since Steve Jobs died everything Apple has become more complicated, not intuitively simple as he made it.)

  • Can I use Final Cut Express 4 with Final Cut Pro 10

    Can I use Final Cut Express 4 with Final Cut Pro 10 on the same computer?
    Thank you,

    Yes, you can install both of them, but you can only have one open at a time.
    You can check this for yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial from

  • What happens if i unplug external HD with out demounting

    what happens if i unplug external HD with out demounting

    The Mac OS will give you a warning if you do this. It is possible (though unlikely) that some file or directory damage may occur, particularly if you were writing to the disk at the time you unplug it. Try not to make a habit of it.
    Best of luck.

  • What happened to my  GB 5.1? Suddenly features are gone- didn't upgrade!!!

    What happened to my  GB 5.1? Suddenly features are gone, like reverb, compression, etc, for each track. I didn't download or upgrade. What happened?
    How, why? Can I get it back?   I've relied on simple use for years.
    How could apple change my program without me permitting anything? Was it part of Safari update? If so, that is very slimy and unfair... Not ethical.....
    How do I get back the features I've been relying on for 5.1?       Cutting those things out of 5.1 as a way to make us upgrade to 10 isn't right. Its not as if I was using Apple Support for 5.1..... This doesn't seem Apple like, at least with original ethics and values.  
    David

    I am having the same issue.  I had a 5.0.2 version (I think) of Safari on a Windows Vista machine which worked with my XmlHttpRequest() just fine.  Then I upgraded now on 5.1.5 and now my initial command (which returns just text) no longer works.  Has anyone else seen this.  The same is true for my Safari browsers in the iPhone and iPad.
    I have another application which uses the same interface just returns comma delimited data and it works just fine.  Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks
