Why am I not able to mark "in" and "out" points in Final Cut Pro 6?

I have a bunch of old tapes that I am trying to put on my computer. I have Final Cut Pro 6 and everything hooks up nicely except I am not able to mark in and out points or use capture now. Does anyone out there know why that would be the case?
I appreciate any help I can get.

What VTR? How is it controlled?
What are your capture settings? Firewire Protocol?

Mark in and out point on non-primary storyline

Ok - I must be missing something... How do I mark and in and out point in a non-primary storyline?
Say, I want to replace part of a non-primary storyline with gap... The only way I've seen to do that would be to blade the clip in the non-primary storyline into three parts and 'delete' the middle bit out, which is what marking an 'in' and 'out' and pressing 'delete' is the accelerated way of doing it in the primary storyline.

Yes I know.
The thing with markers (M) is that these are always placed on the primary storyline, except if you selected a clip in the non-primary storyline. So I don't know why you must first select the Range Selection tool to make in's and out's. Why don't it works just as the markers do.

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

No mark in and out points at batch capturing

I have created logged clips to my browser window but, noticed that the IN and OUT points say NOT SET.
Is this normal?
As I create the logged clips for batch capture shouldnt I see the IN and OUT times?

That's normal. When you set In and Out in the Log & Capture window, those points become Media Start and Media End in the Browser. And In and Out are left as Not Set.
The rationale is that once you've captured, you'll review your clips and place In and Out points more precisely. In case you do want to stick with Media Start and Media End as your In and Out, simply load the clip into the viewer and press X on your keyboard - that will set your In and Out (at Media Start & End) for your clip.
Now - you know there had to be one caveat - the only time this is not the case is when you check the box to Add Handles in the Batch Capture dialog. In that case, when FCP captures the clips, it extends the Media Start and Media End by the handle amount and uses the In and Out that you specified during logging as the In & Out for that clip in the Browser.

HT1557 why am i not able to update itunes 10.6.3 on my MacBook pro, for me to backup my ios7 phone

i have been trying to update itunes 10.6.3 on my MacBook pro, for me to backup my ios7 phone,i keep getting a message saying ( unable to update ), yet its no problem old windows computers, HELP PLEASE.

iTunes 10.6.3 is the latest iTunes version for Mac OS X 10.5.8.
iOS 7 devices require iTunes 11, which needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine, buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard from the Apple Online Store, insert the DVD and upgrade.
After upgrading, you can download 10.6.8 from the Apple website or just from Software Update. Then, if you want, you can upgrade to OS X Mavericks for free from the App Store

Final cut pro x trial not installing

Ok so when i first got my laptop i tried downloading final cut pro trial but it would always say "invalid checksum" when verifying. it happened multiple times everytime i always tried to install it, until one day I'm not sure what i did that it finally downloaded. i used it until my trial was over so i bought the full version the begininng gf this month. i tried installing it and it would download all the way until it changes to installing and then it says "download failed try downloading again in the purchases page" this has been happening the day since i bought final cut pro. now its been 3 weeks and still nothing works, i have chatted with technicians online and have taken it to the apple store and they keep saying they don't know why final cut pro isn't installing because the laptop is working fine. so anyway i got my refund on it, but now I'm trying to install the trial but it keeps showing up invalid checksum when it verifies it,so i click skip and it will start writing the files but then in the middle it will stop and say " failed to download....contact the developer". honestly i don't know what to do anymore i need this app to do school work and I'm really frustrated that nothing seems to be working. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

Well when i took it to the apple store they ended up restoring the whole computer because it wouldn't update so they ended updating it and they said that final cut pro should download fine now since it was updated. i took it home and tried it but nothing happened. i live quite a while away from the store so i called a technician and they told me to wait a week to see if it would download, i waited a week and still nothing happened. and for the parental controls it says there are no user accounts to be managed so i don't think there is any parental controls. So the technicians at the apple store would be able to install it from the system drives?

Compressor 3.02 In and Out Points Not Correct

This is a follow up to my compressor truncating movies post. I'd like to reiterate that my workflow has not changed and no new software has been added to my system. This work flow used to work like a charm, however after the most recent pro applications update this bug surfaced.
If i drag and drop any uncompressed .mov into compressor, compressor incorrectly detects the in and out points for that clip and truncates the file on output. It seems to be by the same amount every time.
Example:
Clip 1 is a 320x240 uncompressed .mov file created and exported directly from final cut pro (exported as self-contained). the file is 1:53:32 in duration.
Drop that clip into compressor and it sets the in-point at 59:56:09 (it does this every time no matter what clip i try to compress...) and incorrectly reports the duration of the movie as 1:53:05. these in and out times and duration are found in the preview window. no in and out points are set in compressor.
this being said, the resulting output file (same size, same frame rate - no changes to timing) is truncated and the last 4 seconds and change are cropped off the end of the clip.
Any ideas? anybody else have the same kind of problem and find a fix?
I've trashed preferences to no avail... help!

right - the question is... what do we do about it?
i have been able to narrow this down to a problem with footage that's 23.98 fps only however as this is part of my 24p workflow - and because it's the only reason i'm using fcp at this point -- in essence, this problem renders the entire final cut studio useless.
so frustrating!
who's found a workaround/fix for this?? i've been using this same workflow successfully for years and in previous versions of final cut. this problem only surfaced in the past couple of weeks.
AAARGH!

Color (not the new app) differences in Final Cut Pro vs Quicktime?

Ok, so I have noticed this before but I am now working on a project in which this is a really big problem.
See, here is a screenshot from the video after export and then opened in Final Cut Pro:
http://www.nathankboyd.com/Apple-Support/Final%20Cut%20Pro.jpg
And here is the same thing when opened with Quicktime 7.2.0:
http://www.nathankboyd.com/Apple-Support/Quicktime.jpg
Why is this, and can I fix it?
My current project is not being put on DVD, so when it is viewed on a computer, it needs to look good. It also seems that anything that is quicktime based has the same color problems, which is not too surprising, ie: Keynote.
Please help!

I have the same problem. The same movie look brighter in Quicktime than in Final Cut.
It's happen with H.264 and DV files. No problem with Pixlet files.
This guys have the same problem

CaptM...
I'm cross posting this to the FCP list because it is directly applicable to FCP as well as FCE. This has been a huge source of frustration to me, and I hope that this post will help a few people avoid that).
I was just walked through a repair procedure by an Apple Care person, and it fixed my camera recognition problems (I have a Canon XL1 and sometime after installing Tiger, then 10.4.1, various patches (including Quicktime 7.1) and the latest Desktop Video patch, I've been unable to use the camera with Final Cut Express, and attempts to capture would result in a FCE crash).
The workaround is to download Quicktime manually, after removing the "receipts" which indicate that it is loaded. Specifically, I was told to do the following:
1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal folder).
2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where "*" is a version number. E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not installed.
3. Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/downloads and click on the "download Quicktime" link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.
4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCE and see your camera.
I hope this works for you as well as it does for me. The Apple tech said this was the first case he'd seen for FCE, but that over the last couple of days, he'd had success with it for several FCP users.
Enjoy!

Why won't my timeline play properly in final cut pro?

My timeline of sequences won't play properly it keeps stopping and then a message comes up - turn unlimited rt off, speed up your system. I cannot play clips properly in the viewer or browser either the scrubber keeps stopping and jumping to another place. I never had this problem before - I have enough gb space on my external drive and hard drive where final cut pro is installed. I switched to unlimited rt and this has not solved the problem. Does anybody know what is happening? Many thanks.

Thank you for the advice. I rendered everything but still no change. Then I noticed I had (I don't know how I did this) created 2 other files of the same name so I opened one of them up and it was fine. I deleted the other 2. Why there were problems with one of them I don't know. I am getting confused can someone tell me what are the folders final cut pro creates so that I can organise things. Three files were created when I set the scratch disks media files- capture scratch, render file, audio render these 3 folders are empty and yet there is now a file called render files with a constant frames folder in it with a quicktime cf-dvc appl 720x480 1233017 etc files in it and also another folder called the movie name with a sequence-FIN-0000c file in it and the actual movie in none of these folders just on its own on the drive why is that I thought FCP would put everything in the 3 folders created? It just seems very confusing.
Can someone also tell me why I get a blue line above my clips on the timeline - there seems to be no render colour equivalent.
I am sorry I am a real pain but I have been reading a book about FCP to guide me and it can't be very good so maybe I will use an online tutorial in future. Any comments will be much appreciated.

Ilife Sound Effects and Final Cut Pro Sounds are not appearing in Final Cut Pro X anymore!?

Hello,
I am new to the app Final Cut Pro X. And recently when I have gone into the Music and Sound Folder in final cut pro the option for Ilife Sound Effects and FCPX Sound Effects do not appear. I have read other forums and they have said to drag the sound files into FCPX but that isn't even a option. It onlt has iTunes options, please reply back someone this is stressing me out. I don't know if it is because of Mavericks or whatever but it is driving me insane and I need help!
This is what it looks like .

This is a known issue in FCP X 10.1 and you will find many posts about it in the forum just do a search. Several solutions have worked for different users. Try the following:
1. Open and close GarageBand then relaunch FCP
2. Open and close iPhoto then relaunch FCP
3. Close and reopen FCP
4. Trash FCP preferences then relaunch FCP
Any one of these may work. Just try them in any order. Be aware the problem may recur.

Why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days?

why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days? I really do not understand why if iCal can sync all events, even the very old, the spotlight will not be able to search on events older than 365 days; why? is absurd; let's say I want to search for a person contained in an old appointment: iCal in your Mac with a few key words, I find it right away, but this important feature on the iPhone is locked; we have in our pockets phones are very sophisticated, but it does not manage to make things really trivial.
