What is going to happen to my Final Cut Pro X projects if I reinstall the program?

Hi, I am experiencing some problems with 'final cut pro x'. It is acting extremely strange, I have tried a few things but that didn't help, so now I am considering to reinstall it. My only concern being what will happen to my projects(will they be left in place, modified or deleted?)

If it's the same version that's being reinstalled (i.e., 10.1.1) neither the projects nor the events should be altered. That said, it's always smart to have back-ups of the projects, events and any external media they reference.
If you want to get some ideas from contributors here about your FCPX problems, describe them in a post. Also specify what your system specs are, what kind of media and what kind of projects? Possibly the problems can be fixed without resorting to reinstallation.

Hi,
I have problem with installation Final cut pro x (trial version)
When I installed and launch, it write me this:
The selected SAN location is already in use. The storage location "RAAF" on this computer is already in use by "RAAF" on "Pavels-MacBook-Pro". To access the location, quit Final Cut Pro on "Pavels-MacBook-Pro" or remove the location.
What I must do?
Thanks so much for you tips

Try repairing permission in the Disk Utility and rebooting,

I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

Hi Carsten...good luck with your project.. I had just about as many Video8 & Hi8 tapes as
you that I digitized and eventually brought into FCPX..took me many months not weeks
to do so,BTW, as each tape was 60-90 minutes in lenght...and many hundreds of
gigab ytes of storage ( uncompressed AVI files)..it's tedious work unless you plan to farm
it out to a processing house...also regarding eventual storage format...remember
Hi8 is 400 lines or about 540X480 in todays resoultion metrics..you can't make hi-def out
of source that starts out as 400 lines...in my case I rewrapped the avi files into .mov
containers and imported the mov files into FCPX where I got rid of the hundreds of
minutes of Colorado mountain landscapes to get to that one minute shot of the kids
on horseback ( late 80's for most of my archives)..so its a job..scouring thru 30X90 min
of source to not miss those precious memories takes diligence and hard work but its worth
it; eventually I encode the uncompressed video I want to save in H.264 format Staandard
Def not HiDef

What version of Quicktime is best for Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5?

Hello,
Could anyone tell me what version of Quicktime works best with Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5? Currently I have QT version 7.6.2.
Unfortunately, all the clips are digitizing at 640 x 480 instead of 720 x 480 (I have trashed prefs and checked the sequence settings and Easy Setup, both are set at NTSC 720 x 480). I have also completely re-installed FCP from the original disks.
When I digitize a clip, it digitizes at 640 x 480. When I open the clip itself and look at the properties, the "Presentation" is set to "Clean" (640 x 480) instead of "Classic" (720 x 480). It keeps defaulting to Clean, and therefore digitizing at 640x480.
Should I uninstall QT and go back to an earlier version? If so, which one would be best? Or is there an easier way to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for any help. I've been struggling with this problem for over a week.

You list Sequence settings and Easy Setup, but is there any chance your Capture Preset somehow got tweaked to NTSC 4x3 (640x480), instead of it's normal setting of DV NTSC 3x2 (720x480)
From the extent of troubleshooting steps you've taken, this would be unlikely, but heck your Capture Preset and make sure it's correct.

What do you use to speed up final cut pro x on my macbook pro early 2011?

what do you use to speed up final cut pro x on my macbook pro early 2011?

I don't use anything to speed up FCP X on your MBP.
Seriously we need statistical info on why you think it needs speeding up.
Poor performance is often associated with incorrect usage, lots of other apps open or a hard drive that is more than 75% full or fragmented.
Ideally all the media should be stored on an external hard drive and not the MBP's.

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.

EExactly what settings are you using. Some go to iTunes.

I am not able to share final cut pro x project to iTunes. it continues to say waiting.

I have not been successful in sharing a final cut Pro X project to itunes. It says waiting.   I can cancel it, of which I have canceled about ten submissions now, but each time it says waiting. What am I doing wrong here?

I am not running a compressor.   I am running the 30 trial version of Final Cut Pro X. I have created and finished a project.
I am running a brand new iMac with the latest OS version.    First I a highlight the project to share. I assume just by clicking on it.   click share - apple devices - then i select for which machine, (imac) i want it to render it for-select add to itunes- and click share.
Then it opens up the share monitor shows the project in question and says waiting. I can pause it, cancel it but I can not get it past waiting. the time registry under the info selection says 0.00 minutes but still waiting..
I am selecting the project correctly?   I have made only one project.

Possible corrupted project or media fies. Here's what I'd suggest.
First trash preferences. If that doesn't work…
Move your Final Cut Projects folder into a folder named Hidden Folder. See if FCP then launches. If it doesn't hide your Final Cut Events folder. Once FCP launches successfuly, create a test event and project.
To track down the problem, successively move load events and projects from hideen to their proper location and open FCP. When and if you get the crash you have hopefully located the problem.
The easiest way to do this is to purchace Event Manager X ($5).
Good luck.

Export Final Cut Pro 7 project to open in FCP 6?

Is there any way to open a final cut pro 7 project in final cut 6?
We have a bunch of older Macs that won't run FCP7, but we use for training but our hope was to upgrade the newer machines to the new Final Cut Studio, but it would be great if we could create something on the newer machines, that we could transfer to the older ones.
We tried XML export, but it didn't look like it included filters and such, so we are wondering if there is any other way?
Regards,
Karl M. Moberg

Nope. no other way.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

To Final Cut Pro X? You want it, you just buy it. No separate upgrade pricing.

I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project. Can Apple Motion 4 remove wires/rig? Are there any rig removal plugins for final cut pro? Thanks!

I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project. Can Apple Motion 4 remove them? If not can anyone recomment any plugins for Final Cut Pro or Motion that can remove them. Thanks!!

In Motion 5 there is a plugin from CoreMelt called "SliceX" that does this. But I don't know anything in Motion 4 that will do it. You may get more help posting in the appropriate "Final Cut Studio" section of this forum.

There is no upgrade. It's a separate application.

What is going to happen to my Final Cut Pro X projects if I reinstall the program?
