Why doesn't Final Cut Pro X update songs from Garageband?

While working on a short film in Final Cut Pro X, I worked up a simple sound track in Garageband. I imported the Garageband project, aligned it, and discovered that I'd mistimed one of the sound transitions.
So, I went back to Garageband and updated the transition, moving the sound effect to the right spot to match up to the video, and then went back to FCPX. I dragged the Garageband project onto the original copy that I'd imported, and selected "replace" and ended up with... the original. After some experimenting, I actually went and deleted an entire track from the Garageband project and reloaded it in FCPX... still no change. How can I fix this?

Here's an update...
I made some changes to the Garageband track and saved it as another project... Final Cut refused to even detect it until I restarted Final Cut.
I have a sound effect that's placed at 1:32 in Garageband, and it ALWAYS plays at 1:31 in Final Cut, no matter how shift it around in Garageband. After changing the song in Garageband and sharing it to disk, I verified that the sound effect is happening at 1:32 by playing it back in Quicktime, so it must be Final Cut that's misbehaving.

  • Why doesn't Final Cut Express reconize my footage from my NX70

    I had a Sony MC50 and it would read that footage and I could work with it. I bought a Sony NX70 and it will not read that footage. It is the same type file AVCHD 1080/60i FX!  From what I see there is no defferance in footage. Only thing I changed was camera.

    Ok so what your saying for what ever reason when converting the footage inside the camera it's not getting done right?
    I'm saying that based on the specs, the camera is probably working as designed but perhaps in the internal conversion from 60p to 60i the data being output cannot be recognized by FCE.  Not because it's being done wrong, but because there may be some leftover data embedded in the output that causes FCE to think it's not getting pure unadulterated 60i data.  FCP and FCP-X are much more 'forgiving' about this than FCE is, probably because FCP and FCP-X  support 60p AND 60i whereas FCE only supports 60i.
    As I said before, call Sony tech support to inquire about NX70's handling of it's native 60p recording vs. its output at 60i.   I'm just suspicious that is where the problem lies in FCE's inability to recognize the footage.  It's more likely to be a design issue than a specific problem with just your NX70 but more research will be necessary.  The fact that your friends can capture from the NX70 with FCP indicates the camera is functioning properly.

  • I can't download the final cut pro's update in AppleStore. Have a solution ?

    Hello,
    I can't download the final cut pro's update in AppleStore. Have a solution ?

  • Why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it????!!!!!!

    why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it?

    As you give no background info nobody can possibly guess.
    However, have you tried trashing the preferences?
    Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that only  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
    There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
    The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones  .  .  .  instantly.

  • Why does our Final Cut Pro Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?

    Why does our Final Cut Pro 7.0.1 Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?
    For example I can Batch Export 10 sequences one of which is called:
    "899-006TL013 It's Not Your Fault 800-509-2875"
    Then the output for some of the files are along the lines of:
    "899-006TL013 It's No#61386E.mov"
    I have seen this happen with 1-6 files or not at all... is it just dumb luck?
    What is going on here and is there any way to avoid or remedy this issue?
    We first thought having the render destination window open caused it but that was not the source.
    Any ideas?

    I've run into the same problem with FCP 7.0.2 when exporting from the sequence using File --> Export --> QuickTime Movie. I exported a file today called "BSP - 01 - How You Can Be Sure You Are A Christian" and it came out as this "BSP - 01 - How You Can#1630". This is getting to be annoying. I also need to name these files the length they are. I'm hoping someone may see this and have a suggestion (besides shortening the file name). It seems like I've also seen this on shorter file names, but at the moment I can't prove it.

  • When's The Next Final Cut Pro HD Update?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows when the next Final Cut Pro HD update is supposed to be released. I'm about ready to make a purchase, but I was wondering if I should wait if the next version is going to be out soon.
    Thanks!

    I don't think it's against the TOU however to point out that Apple have been known to launch new products or announce updates at the NAB show, which takes place every April.
    But I personally have no idea if there's anything in the pipeline. I only buy every second upgrade anyway so I'll be waiting for FCS7.

  • MUSIC FOLDER MISSING AFTER FINAL CUT PRO X UPDATE

    I cant see the music folders that come with Final Cut pro after the most recent update (i.e. special effects, etc). PLEASE HELP!

    I saw on somewhere that reloading FCPRO Content v1.0 would do the trick. It worked. All 1300 sound fx are back where they belong. The link to the download is:

    Did not try the Garage band suggestion but thank you all.

  • WHy don't Final Cut Pro 7 recognize my sony hdr-sr11 camera.

    Final cut won;t recognize the camera for log and capture. iMove doesn't recognize it either. Help

    That's an AVCHD camera.
    You connect it with a USB cable and use Final Cut Pro's *Log & Transfer* function to bring in the clips.

  • Why is my final cut pro so slow?

    I just started using final cut pro on my iMac and I've noticed the performance is horrible. I have an event with about 20-30 clips in them, each 10-20 seconds long. The videos are shot using a DSLR using 60p with the AVCHD format. Even when I tried to scroll the event browser, the lag is 2-3 seconds long. The panel doesn't even scroll smoothly.
    Here are my specs of the iMac.

  • Why is my Final Cut Pro Dropping Frames?

    Final Cut Pro 3 has been capturing media for years. Now every 20 seconds it says " Dropped frames." Is this because I updated to Mac OS 10. 4.9? Help. I'm frustrated.

    This is a known issue. Updating to 10.4.9 causes FCP 4.5 and earlier to drop frames when capturing. The solution? You'll need to archive and install the OS all over again, and get back to 10.4.8.
    Search the forums for 10.4.9 and FCP and you will fine MANY threads talking about this.

  • Why doesn't final cut save my youtube password?

    I always have to do one of those "application specific" passwords through Google. It works for once and then I have to reenter it (and subsequently get a new one) every time. It's annoying.
    This is for Final Cut Pro X, fully updated.

    Is it an FCPX issue or a google issue?

  • Why won't final cut pro x import my media anymore?

    I recently encountered a bug with final cut pro x. Previously I have been importing AVCHD files and working with them directly in the application. But, today as I went to import some more of the same footage it acknowledges an import, but nothing shows up in my events folders.
    This is really bizarre. Not only this, but I tried importing a regular .MOV file directly by drag and drop, and via the import button, to no avail.

    I never knew that "/" were part of the Unix code. Thanks for that. As for importing AVCHD video through the application by Cmd-I, I have done that as well. It still doesn't work.
    Here is what I've done:
    And nothing shows up in the event folder.

  • Final Cut Pro X Update Issues

    Last year I purchased a used 2013 MacBook Air with Final Cut Pro X already installed.
    I just learned that in order to update the software, I need to be signed into the Mac App Store account that purchased FCPX.
    Is there anyway to transfer the software onto my own account, or do I have to contact the seller and get their information to update. Any other ways to update?

    If you are serious about editing with FCP X, buy it yourself. That way you will get each future update
    which will match whatever iteration of OS X is most current on any computer on the planet (that you own).
    No One in their right mind is going to give you their App Store sign In info. W/O it you are stumped,
    stagnant even - in the bottom of the pond all alone. You know how many people write in here asking
    how to get something for nothing? Lots. In that respect you are not alone.

  • Because of the new final cut pro x update with photoshop capability, does that mean 3d objects are now compatible with final cut pro x

    Does Final Cut Pro X now support 3d models or objects because of the update with photshop capability?

    When you import a 3D model in Photoshop, it is imported as a Layer (smart object). And, yes, you can edit 3D objects in Photoshop and import them into FCPX—AS a photohop image (you cannot manipulate the 3D nature of the object in FCPX.) You can however create an animation in PS, convert to layers from frames and import that into fcpx. You can then edit the compound clip created to make use of those "animated" layer/frames. (I'm not sure how far I'd "push it" though...fwiw, at that point, it might be better to export the animation from PS and import the MOV into FCPX.)
    You can also make edits in PS after the psd is imported and fcpx will do live updates (after saving the psd file, of course.) 3D objects in PS are a special kind of Smart Object, and Smart Objects will translate to Motion and FCPX (they will be rasterized as a single layer, though.)
