Why can't I use proxy media?

I've got media from 3 cameras - all are 720x480.  Two were imported from camcorrders, one was miniDV and one was JVC hard drive (SD).  When importing I did not have the option to create proxy media, and still do not have that option available (it is grayed out).  The third was imported from an avi file uncompressed; it created proxy media when importing.  I am trying to use them in a multi-cam clip.  If I use proxy media, the two clips from the cameras show the red/yellow "Missing proxy" screen but the avi file shows fine.  If I select "use original or optimized media" the clip from avi drops frames, either with "better performance" or "high quality" settings.  I know I've had it playing back OK before, but don't know what I have changed such that I can't get a good playback in the multicam multi-angle viewer.  It seems if the camera video is already coded so it doesn't need proxy media, it should use that format when proxy is selected (I'll make that suggestion on the feedback from).  Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is AVI is not a native format to FCPX while DV is. And FCP X will not make DV into Proxy for this reason. So if you want to mix AVI with DV you need to do it in 'original' mode. For better performance what you'd want to do is convert all of the AVI to a better format- like ProRes for example then import that as your new originals for mixing with the DV footage.

  • How can I set which projects use Proxy Media and not just change every project?

    Hi there
    I can see how to change ALL projects to use Proxy Media or Original/Optimised Media
    in
    Preferences>Playback
    But I'm switching between projects a lot and I only want to use Proxy Media on one project, so how can I tell FCPX to only use Proxy Media on that ONE project?
    Thanks

    Perhaps if apple didn't take back prores LT this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
    Pores LT was a great compromise between file size and quality. It produced a fine image for most peoples needs and was 30% smaller.
    Hopefully it will be returned soon. I can't imagine why it's not already there. Unless they want to charge for it, ... again..
    Have you tried capturing as full res, then change prefs back to proxy, open a new project and import the full res files?
    In FCP7 the render pref was separate from the capture pref. is that gone too?
    If my idea doesn't work, Surely someone will chime in with a creative work around to this.
    And hopefully it'll get fixed soon in an update.

  • I'm using  proxy media for a video I'm editing but now that i switch back to the original media some of my effects are missing can anyone help me.

    I'm using  proxy media for a video I'm editing but now that i switch back to the original media some of my effects are missing can anyone help me.

    Shouldn't happen.Only thing I can think of suggesting is to delete render files and try again. Trashing preferences is a long shot, but no harm in trying. Use the Digital Rebellion Preference Manager, a free download.
    Assume you have a reason for using such an outdated version of FCP X. That may be contributing to your problem.

  • Why can't I use word, excel etc after upgrading OS X lion ?

    Why can´t I use word,excel etc after upgrading too OS X Lion ?

    Office 2004 is a PowerPC app that requires Rosetta to run. Roseeta and thus all PPC aps are not supported on Lion. Further Office 2008's Installer is a PPC app. Office 2008 will run if installed before installing Lion, but you cannot install it from Original Office 2008 Media after installing Lion.

  • 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.

  • Why can't I use mover's coupon on Macbook?

    Hi, 
    Happy thanksgiving everyone, but my experience at Best Buy today was so disappointed.
    I recently moved to new home and received a mover's coupon for Best Buy. I tried to buy a Macbook Air 13.3 at 8251 Gateway Overlook Dr, Elkridge, MD 21075. At checkout, I showed the associate the coupon and I was told I could not use it. He said Apple Macbooks are "Unlateral Minimum Resale Price (UMRP) products". I don't even know what UMRP means, but I thought ok, it's thanksgiving, there is no need to give anybody a hard time. Then I paid the full price for it which is 899.99. Then I went back and told a friend about the purchase. He was shocked I paid so much for it. He told me he WAS able to use the mover's coupon as well as student discounts on the exact same Macbook, and he paid $170 dollars less than I did. I went back to the store and talked to the customer service, I even showed them my friend's receipt. But the associates in the store kept telling me the UMRP non-sense. There is nowhere on the coupon saying Macbooks are excluded. After 30 mins talk, I still could not get the discount. And I felt so disappointed about Best Buy, especially at Thanksgiving eve.
    I did some research online, and I found this post in this forum : http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Best-Buy-Store-Purchase/Why-can-t-I-use-a-Movers-Coupon-on-a-MacBook/td.... Apparently, somebody else had the same problem and it was solved. Can any moderators here give me some help? At least give me an explaination that makes sense (Please, no more UMRP non-sense).
    Thank you.
    PS: I want to insert the images of my receipt, the coupon and my friend's receipt. But I am not able to insert them. But I can provide them if needed.

    Hello Disappointedme-
    I absolutely apologize for the lateness of my reply, we are extremely backlogged from the holiday and Black Friday and we’re trying to catch up.
    No pun intended, but it’s definitely disappointing to hear that you were unable to utilize the mover’s coupon on the MacBook Air you purchased.  Based on what you are stating the store said, they may have been misinterpreting what qualified under the terms and conditions of the coupon.  In this situation, I believe that the coupon should have been applied, but I would need to do some more research.  If you could send me a private message with your full name as well as the Customer Service Pin from your purchase, I would be happy to look into this further.
    You can generally find the Customer Service Pin near the middle of the receipt, where it should say “Your Customer Service Pin is” and underneath it will be four sets of numbers.  You can send me a private message by logging into the forum and clicking on the button across from my name on this post.
    I look forward to hearing back from you!

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:

    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:

    why can't i use credit card on app store its money on it and its an visa card

    Credit cards do need to be from the same country as your account, which may or may not apple, but if you're visiting from another country and trying to use, for example, a UK card in the US app store, it won't work.
    Could you have typo'd a number? Or could the card be expired?

    Is this a visa gift card? I seem to recall people having issues with credit card gift cards.
