When I "print to video" FCP works well but suddenly freezes... why?¿

Hi everybody! I'm desperate right now, hope somebody could help me. I'm working on FCP 4.5 and when I'm done with my project I try to "Print to Video" and/or do it manually and all seems ok but suddenly FCP freezes (with audio still running) and I gotta start all over again... This never happened to me before. I'm doin' this with my iMac G5 (with AGP Video Card) and I can edit, add effects, transitions and even add photoshop images fine but when I want to "print my project" on mini DV I just can't do it "continously" ... any ideas? Thanks a lot, really, anything at this point would help me. Take Care, Bye!!!
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   iMac G3 Graphite, iBook G3, iPod 15 GB...

Is this a firewire drive? USB is no good for video.
If the external is a frewire drive, all your media should be on that drive while you edit. the final output should also remain on that drive.
Once you are finished editing and ready to record, export the file under Use Current Settings, Self-contained.
Then bring that into a fresh sequence and play it to tape for recording.
good luck.

  • No audio when I print to video

    Video is fine, in AV settings I have Firewire audio selected. Audio sounds fine from timeline but when I print to video i get nothing not even a tone with bars at beginning of print down. I've tried different cameras so I'm thinking it is a setting in FCP that I don't have right... Any suggestions? could something like this be the cable I'm using or a weird Firewire problem like not enough power because too many devices are plugged in? I know that the "official" word is (with puffed out chest) Firewire can handle up to blah blah blah devices, But my experience with Firewire is that it is finicky. So, just wondering if it could be something like that. Off to do some experimenting...
    Ive tried unplugging all other firewire devices and works fine on my powerbook with what seems to be the same settings...?

    Hi,
    It appears from what I found online that there are some A/V settings you should check before exporting your video.

  • Epson 960 works well but can't access printer ink utility

    I set up an Airport Express wireless network last night and hooked up my Epson 960. It works well but I can't access the printer ink utility. The printer is missing from the utility listing so I can't clean the heads or check ink levels.
    Any suggestions or experiences that may help?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, that was what I was having to do.
    It is kind of misleading to claim wireless printing capability only to have one way communication. Hopefully Apple will "fix" this issue in the future.
    Makes it very inconvenient when printing photos or DVDs as I always do a nozzle check first to make sure nothing is clogged and keep from wasting a good (and expensive) sheet of photo paper or a burned DVD.
    Cheers,
    Bob

  • I want to copy email from my mac to my pc. Forwarding one at a time via email works well, but when I try to forward several of them at a time I receive one large email. I want to receive the emails individually on my pc. Any suggestions?

    Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
    With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
    maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
    (3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.

  • My wife has an NOKIA E71 and she syncs with iSync. Everything works well, but when she adds a meeting on her phone, it does appear on the computer after syncing. Anyone? We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.

    We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.

    Hello Kerrigaj,
    After a re-install of OS X 10.5.8 uninstalled the E71 in iSync and moved it out of the bluetooth-device list first and completely re-installed it using the bluetooth manager (SystemPreferences/Hardware).
    No extra thirdparty-software involved and ever since no problems.
    Goodluck - hope it works for you.

    Hi, i have purchased iPhone 5 about 15 days ago, its working well but only one problem that it has is that some time its losting signal and appear as no serves. would you please help me in this reqard. thanks

    Well, it could be that your carrier doesn't have a signal when it looses its signal.  You could try resetting network settings which might help - Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings.  You'll need to set up any wi-fi networks you connect too again. If you're still having issues, contact your carrier.
    Good luck!

    A couple of weeks ago, (after reading a review in TUAW) I bought a wireless hub/ SD card reader called RAVPower.  its app comes with a built in viewer, so you can load it up, and see the pics full screen.

    More than likely it is about how you set up the ports to be open in the router for your computer.

  • Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough?

    Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough. When I look in Time machine backups I'm looking in a folder and I can't remember what it was, but I go back in time and the finder goes from 98 files to 100 files, how do I find which 2 files were the ones deleted? Going back and forth from past to present is a pain! I need to figure out which file it was faster? Have any ideas?
    With the new "Find" feature it actually highlights what you are looking for such as in Safari. Does Time Machine have a feature to highlight the files/folders that were deleted really from the present?

    It sounds like you aren't looking for any file in particular, but notice a change in number of files and would like to know what changed rather than knowing that a specific file is now missing.
    that's a good point, and it appears that TM is not setup to describe the changes over time. If I recall correctly, it has a plug-in ability, so maybe somebody will fill in that void.

    Hi ,
    Do you remember if you  have installed some software prior to this issue?
    Delete programs you never use.
    If the issue reoccurs in Clean Boot, but works fine in Safe Mode, the cause may be the disabled hardware drivers. You may narrow down the
    causes in Device Clean Boot.
    Device Clean Boot
    =================
    1. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
    2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers".
    3. Right click on your sound card and then click "Properties.
    4. In the dropdown menu of Device Usage, please choose "Do not use this device (disable)" and click OK.
    5. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, network card and CD-R drive. Please note some devices
    such as video adapter are not available to be disabled.

  • I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
    Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
    For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
    Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
    If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
    Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
    There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

    I use Final Cut Pro X to make YouTube videos.  The sound is great when I watch the videos on certain computers, but muffled on others.  How do I fix this?

    You don't. You can't control how other computers or browsers play back the footage.  The best you can do is export a master file that plays great on your computer.  What youTube does with it, or how other computers play it back is out of your hands.
    Just like me with broadcast TV shows.  I deliver the most pristine version I can to the network. But then they convert it to a digital file that they then beam out to cable and satellite providers, who then compress it again to play on their systems. And then it arrives at grandma's house and plays on her TV. I have no control how my grandma receives the signal, nor how her TV is set up.  Unless I am nice and tweak things when I go visit. But I can't do this at every house that might want to watch my show.

    Was the FCS on your old machine an upgrade? You will need to enter your original, full version serial first, and then you will be prompted for the upgrade serial number.
    Hope this helps.
