When Batch Capturing, Final Cut doesnt notice Media Out points

I have logged about 20 clips with all of the in and out points set and correct. I have put them in a logging bin and choose batch capture and it begins the process just like usual. However now it wont stop when it comes to the out point of each clip the camera will just keep running until i cancel the batch capture. What could be wrong? any help would be great. thanks

You need more than one hard drive. Capturing to your system disk is not a good idea and will bite you.
The in/out ignoring issue could be a problematic QT install or a problem with the firewire protocol.
1. Make sure you are using the correct Firewire (Basic or std) for your camera/VTR first.
2. Make sure there is no interference between external hard drives on the firewire bus and your camera
3. Use the Apple QT7 reinstaller
Cheers,

"media server application expectly quit" when submitting from final cut pro

browsing through the list, it seems the problem couldn´t be solved so far.
doing some systematic testing, the following riddle shows up:
... when adding a QT ref movie (or movie) directly to the compressor batch list and submit to the cluster, everything runs fine.
... when exporting from final cut pro:
menu -> export -> using compressor ...
submitting in compressor using:
1) Cluster: this computer: everything keeps running fine.
2) Cluster: MylovelyCluster ....
the job fails with the message "Failed: HOST [clusternode_name.local] media server application unexpectedly quit"
since there is 5TB + of data to be compressed, copying files to the render nodes is not an option. all data is on a shared xraid, connected via giganet.
Any ideas, any hints appreciated !
regards,
p.s. Anybody running an XSAN having the same issues?
G5s, G4s, G3s, macminis, powerbooks Mac OS X (10.4.7) xraid

... well, the answer is in other topics.
showstopper explains it patently again and again ...
thanks from here.
shortly: when submitting from FCP, every node HAS to have FCP installed and MUST have access to the same relative file path (mounted shared volume). If the volume is not present, the render node will open the reconnect media dialogue and waits for user input.

Do I need Final Cut Pro HD when I have Final Cut Studio?

I will be starting my second project on my new mac and using final cut pro. It will be an instructional DVD. This is my first posting and I guess my first attempt at reaching out (baby steps).
I will be borrowing an HD camera (some consumer grade). My Question is do I need Final Cut HD when I have Final Cut Studio installed. I notice Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 has HD import and export settings.
Also, since I have mentioned my project is there any quick reference ideas for a learn to play an instrument DVD, CD or anything.
And lastly as I wonder off my thread a little. Is this Discussion forum my quickest way of getting an answer, I mean is there anyone who will let me bug them from time to time?
Thanks

Forgot to welcome you to the forum... Welcome.
Before you jump into this project you may want to do some research. The format you are talking about is HDV, highly compressed and some would say difficult to edit with. A search here on HDV will give you plenty to read and probably point you to some interesting articles.
Might also consider why you want to shoot HD at all right now since you will most likely be going to Standard Def for distribution.
You'll find that if you just check in and browse the topics every day or so you'll pick up lots of good information (and probably a few laughs)
If you're looking for examples for this type of project, just hop down to your local music store. Most have "How To" DVD's for sale.
Good Luck

Electrical clicking noise through speakers when I open Final Cut ???

Hi,
When I open Final Cut, as its opening I hear electrical clicking noises coming through my speakers.
Also when I open Log and Capture I hear several electrical clicking noises.
This just started within the past few months, I don't know if Leopard had anything to do with it?
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

When FCP launches, it checks out the pathways for the audio and video... like if you've set it to be connected to a DV camera, it looks for it during boot up. If it doesn't find it, it opens a window warning you it's not there.
Just open the apple menu's preferences, and change the setting somehow in the audio control panel there. that will reset it.
The other thing you might try is resetting the PMU or SMU on your machine. These guys reset the power management system wide. Might help, and won't hurt. You need to search the Support area's front page here on "PMU" or SMU to find out how to do this for your particular machine. It's different from one mac to the next... but it's easy to do.

When i open final cut pro x when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

when i open final cut pro x when it starts loding the projects it shows the spining beach ball and is stuck wat can i do?

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.

Your work will still be there, you just have to go through Updating your older pre 10.1. stuff to the new Library model way of doing things.
Follow Tom's suggestions to the letter and things should go smoothly.

Color differences when exporting from Final Cut

I have a big problem when exporting from Final cut to any file format. The colors and contrast looks fine in Final cut and on my external monitor but when exporting to, for example, H.264 I get a file that is "washed out". Colors are bleak and the over all feel is not what I expect. The funny thing is that if I import the exported file into Final cut it looks fine. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me out with this?

QT brightens the image. Dunno why...perhaps so that it ensures that every monitor can see it?
Here is an example:
But I don't know why that is.

When i try to play a movie in final cut pro it comes out black

when i try to play a movie in final cut pro it comes out black thanks jt i have
version 10.00

Open the movie in the QuickTime player and report exactly what it says in the movie inpstecor. It's probably not in a spce that FCP supports.

When you uninstall final cut pro does your projects delete too

When you uninstall final cut pro does your projects delete too

No, only the app is removed.
The Events and Projects are completely untouched and ready to use when you reinstall or update FCP X.
To uninstall simply drag the FCP X application icon to the trash and delete it.

No audio for some files in the Final Cut Event/Original Media folder

Hi, recently, I noticed that some of the video files stored into the Final Cut Event/"Event"/Original Media folder had no audio. They do have audio when I read them into FCP X but not when I open them as ordinary files in the Finder. It worries me as it makes these files unusable in any other application, unless I "share" them from FCP X. It's no big deal but it's more work and on the principle, it's criminal: why FCP X would strip the audio off an original? Video and photo applications now work on the non-destructive principle!
I usually shoot videos with a DSLR (Canon 550D/T2i) and a GoPro 3. It seems that the files impacted are the ones shot with the Canon and optimized for FCP X. The GoPro files are fine, optimized or not.
Is there any solution to this problem or will I have to export the files from FCP X?

Thank you very much for the info.
I removed the Media Cache and Media Cache File folders. Didn't seem to make any difference. Also, there's no audio if I try to play it in Organizer.
I have a question regaring "import". What exactly does that mean?
Since all my MTS files are on hard drive already, what I did was:
1) Open a new project in PE9.
2) In the "Organize" tab, click "Get Media"
3) Choose "Get Videos/Photos/Audio from: Files and Folders".
4) In the pop-up window, navigate to my folder and choose the existing MTS file.
Was that called "import"?
Thank you again!

Convert AVID Bin to Final Cut Pro with Media

Hello I need to urgently figure this out.
I have a AVID BIN with HD footage logged into it. There were 8 different tapes and the bin has about 100 clips in it. Everything is in dnxHD format on the AVID end. I'd want the clips to be PRORES on the FCP end.
I have Automatic Duck FCPImport if needed.
How do I do this?
I want to basically convert the AVID BIN to a Final Cut Pro bin maintaing all tape/reel names for each clip as well as timecodes for each clip, so that they can batch capture in FCP down the road incase something goes offline.
The thing is the media files would have to transfer too wtih the bin, so that they can open this all up in FCP and it shows up and they can start editing with the footage.
Any ideas? Please tell me in lamens terms. I'm an AVID editor so I know AVID really well, FCP not so well but I can move around it.

Could this be a job for Sebsky Tools?

Final Cut 10.1 Media Management Very Frustrated

Hello Final Cut Pros,
My situation is as follows. I was using Final Cut 10.0.9. That version had a perfect feature that on a simple click allowed me to see all my events organized by Year and even by both year and month if I wanted to. Both Views were simple clicks. I chose to use the By Year and by month view. This is exactly how I want to view my videos in 10.1. I am not a video professional. These videos are simply my family home videos organized so that we can view them on demand by just going directly to the year and month we want to view. THere are nearly a thousand events spread across 15 years. Upon Upgrading to 10.1 this view has disappeared for me. IN fact it's much worse than that. Each one of my events have now been moved to a 10.1 event. Only there is literally no way of organizing events in 10.1 that I can see. My hundreds of events in 10.1 are simply all lumped together under the one library file that 10.1 created for me. When you search for a way to organize the view of your events you get a little hope when you find that you can orgnize "events" by created date. Only you CAN'T organize events by Created date. You can only organize clips by created date. So when i click to view by created date, my events on the left remain exactly as they were but the clips shown in the browser on the right get organized by Created Date. Nowhere do you see a relationship between the Events on the left which are devoid of any and all organization and the clips on the right neatly organized by Created Date. Now, the thing is in my case I have never bothered to rename any clip after import. THe clip names themselves have only the clip date as part of the name and that's it. Staring at those clip names for me is useless. After much research, and couple of fruitless phone calls to Apple Support, I am left completely in the dark. I have spent 3 days agonizing over what to do with this and have decided on somethign that I can;t possibly believe is the answer. I am convinced that I am overlooking somethign brutally obvious but still nobody on the net or anyone in Apple support can point it out to me. Here is what I am doign right now which just has to be wrong. Apple cannot be forcing all of us who are in similar situations to do this, but here goes
1) I created an Event called ALL EVENTS
2) I then am going to each of my hundreds of events and doing the following
3) I am assigning the event name as a Keyword to the clips belonging to that evnt. (No automated way to do this. Nearly a thousand events)
4) Next, I drag the clips in that event to the ALL EVENTS event.
5) I select the keyword collection which is named the same as my event and which now appears in the ALL EVENTS folder and on the broser window I can see the clips. THe clips are organized by date.
6) THen I create a folder in tthe ALL EVENTS folder with the year of the clips and another folder inside the year folder for teh month of the clips. I then drag the Keyword collection to inside the month.
Doign the above is the only way that I can conceive of with 10.1 to see all of my home videos organized by year and by month. Dividing any of this into multiple events and/or mutiple libraries is useless to me from what I can see. I want to be able to enter the word CHristmas and have all videos relating to Christmas for every year pop up. I don;t belive that can happen with 10.1 if clips are stored across events, and certainly not across libraries but I could be wrong.
I am just about convinced that I am about to be totally emabarrased by someone's 1 or 2 sentence reply to this post explaining what I need to be doing that will not consume days if not weeks of my time like the steps I described above in order to have a By Year and by Month view of my videos.
Thank you all for any help you can provide
Javier

WOW, my frustration is mounting to no end. Tom, I have searched over and over again. There is nothing out there that addresses my very, very clearly stated predicament in this post. While I most definitely appreciate your response to my post, please notice that you also are not directly addressing and answering my question. Leaving me to continue to suspect that the answer is simply that no there is no way to get a view by Year and By Month without putting in weeks of work". I am looking for a white paper from Apple that addresses the followign question exactly,
"Hi Mr. Final Cut user, if you have an event library that is based ont he current system whihc allows you to clearly view all of your events by Year and by MOnth here is what you need to do to achieve the same thign in 10.1/ . Here are some of the suggestions on how you might be able to TRANSITION". Of course everyone's case is different Mr Final Cut User but of the 4 or 5 clearly stated options we've given you here it's up to you which one you chooise. And BTW none of the options we;ve given you require you to put in weeks of work to get to what you had already."
Again, I don;t feel that an answer to my question can be "well to each their own. Everybody's workflow is different so you ahve to get to know 10.1 through online materials. That's baloney. The Group by Year and Month was an option right on the GUI. Its akin to them removing the Import feature and telling us all that everybody imports different.
I AM NOT the only person who had all their clips in EVENTS. THe EVENT in the new media management is nothing like the EVENT in the old. Actually the fact that named it EVENT may be adding to the confusion.
Tom, if you know Final Cut then you know exactly what's just happened to me. Nearly 1000 events have been dumped into separate 10.1 events yet there is no Event-based organization at all. THere is nothing out there at all addressing this question. Again, in Final Cut 10.0.9 I was clicking once and getting all my events organized instantenaously by Year and by Month. If you would be so kind as to please just answer this question for me before I put in weeks of work. With the new 10.1 am I forced to do tons of work in order to get to see my videos again by Year and by Month? THis answer would be very helpful to me because right now I am in disbelief that I have to do that. It makes the work I am doing very depressing. For all I know, there actually is a way to do it very easily or maybe Apple knows about this issue and is about to issue a fix for it.
MY quetion is simple. Can someone please help me.
Thank You Very Much for any help you can provide

Help! Batch Capture Changes My Logged Clips' Media Start & Media End

I'd be very grateful for any help on this.
I log a tape with about 40 clips ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. I select the clips and start a batch capture. Everything appears to be capturing normally and I receive no error messages or dropped frame warnings - after my last clip is captured I get a "Successfully Captured" message.
However, as soon as I click "Finished," all of my clip media start's, media end's, and durations in the log window arbitrarily change to weird times. All my media start points are 26 frames too early (I've tripple-checked that "Add Handles" is indeed deactivated), and the media end points make no sense at all.
A clip that was once 44 seconds long is now only 12 seconds long, the media end point moved a whopping 34:03 too early. Another clip will become 2 seconds longer, the media start point still shifted back 26 frames, but with the media end now 31 frames too late. Checking the original files on my drive confirms that only these weird, unusable segments are what has been captured.
What complicates things is that I just discovered today that if I capture locally to my internal hard disk, the clips capture normally (the times remain unchanged). But if I set my capture scratch to my external hard drive (a LaCie F800 2-TB RAID-5 using Firewire-800), that's when the clips start changing themselves. I ran disk utility and found no errors on the drive, and have never had a problem with it or any part of my configuration until the last month or so... the only changes to my system being the regular use of Software Update.
On top of that, my colleague is experiencing a similar problem with batch capture changing his clip times, even though he is using a different computer (single-processor G5), a different video deck (Sony DHR-1000), and a different storage medium (Apple Xserve RAID).
So my question is: What is happening! The only thing I can think of is that perhaps some update has a bug - but I can't find anyone with a similar problem online.
Any help on this would be extremely appreciated! Thank you in advance for your advice.
Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Deck: JVC CU-VH1 / Storage: LaCie F800 2-TB RAID-5
Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Here's an update on this. Both my colleague and I have confirmed that if we capture to an internal or external drive that is not a RAID FCPro batch captures just fine.
But, if the drive we are capturing to is a RAID (in my case a LaCie Biggest F800 and his case an Apple Xserve), then we get dropped frame reports and/or clip in's and out's changing after the batch capture is complete.
We even tried reformatting one of the xServe's and rebuilding it as non-journaled, it didn't solve the problem.
It seems impossible that we're the only ones to be experiencing this problem... does anybody have any help or suggestions!?
