Why don't Final Cut make 4:3 format?

Why is it that when I make a project in Final Cut that is 4:3 / 1440x1080 - it shows up as 16:9 in the editor??

I'm guessing that by default, fcp sees 1440 x1080 is a 16:9 format with a rectangular pixel aspect ratio even the the sequence settings shows the pixel aspect ratio as square. To make a 1440x1080 4:3 sequence, try changing the aspect ratio from HD to custom in the sequence settings. Just tried it and it seems to do it.
The whole question of pixel aspect ratio is guaranteed to make you crazy.

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 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.

Why don't you guys make so that the Xperia tablet Z

Why don't you guys make so that the Xperia tablet Z can connect with the PS4 the same way as Vita does, you know being able to stream video and audio directly to the tablet and being able to play the game straight from the tablet, (i know that the Vita advertisement is just to boost sales, but i already have a controler, let me put it for good use). microsoft have mentioned their "glass" app that lets you stream games directly to the tablet, but what if sony could do it as well but specific to the Xperia tablet z..(later on maybe for other android phones.)

Thank you for your feedback! I will pass this on internally.

Why does my final cut express movie flicker after i put on disk using idvd

Why does my final cut express movie flicker after burning to a dvd using idvd. Its about 90 minutes long.

Hi
As Alchroma writes - more info needed.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Way Final Cut not support mpeg4 format

way Final Cut not support mpeg4 format ?

If you mean "why" then you will need to go to Apple corporation and speak with the product developer team. If you would like to know how to convert, I found it easiest using Flip Player (deluxe version), about $49 today. Takes about 10 minutes to convert a 400 MB clip for example. Then load the converted file to your editing source folder.

Why is updating final cut pro such a nightmare for all users?

How come I cant get back to final cut pro 6.0.3? Or 6.0.4? These were a stable version of FCP for MY SET UP..... I can not find how to get back to these versions. All that I see is pro updates, or updates using apples software update, that will just get me back to 6.0.6, a version of FCP that my plugins dont work under.
Is there a secret place where 6.0.3 lives that I dont know about? I have seen reports saying there is no more way to get back to 6.0.3 or certain levels of FCP.
This truly is a nightmare. This is coming from a 10 year user of logic, a program that was bought from a german company by apple, and intergrated into their own product line of apple products. With logic, I can go back to 7.2.3 if I wanted to, or logic 8.0.2, if thats the set up that works for me with my plugins. Is this even possible?

When item(s) are available in Software Update, go to the menu bar > Update.
Activate the option *Install and Keep Package*
The individual Installers will be saved at: Hard Drive/Library/Packages.
Now, stop cherry picking the advice you have been given over the past few days. Copy the contents of your User space to an external drive. Bite the bullet and reinstall Mac OS X. Run Software Update and accept everything. Repair Permissions and restart the computer when it is done.
Install Final Cut Studio. Run Software Update and accept everything. Repair Permissions again and restart the computer when it is done.
Install other software from their original discs or download them again.
Copy the contents of the folders from the old User space back to the folders with the same name in your new User space. *Do not copy the contents of the Library folder*.
When you have done that, post back and I will help you retrieve your email and third party fonts.

Why won't Final Cut or Motion render my content properly?

About 2 months ago I got a new 2013 27" iMac with the upgraded i7 processor, 4GB of VRAM, and 32GB of RAM. I've recently come across a problem with rendering in Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5. In Final Cut when I play back a clip in the event browser or in the timeline before rendering, the clip looks fine. When it's done rendering, though the clip looks like the frames are jumbled and the clip is choppy and unusable. A similar thing happens in Motion 5. When I create a RAM preview, certain parts of the composotion that are moving look almost split, like a really dramatic rolling shutter effect on a bad camera. It also put on random shapes that vary from black and white stripes in a lower corner, or frames that are completely white, or green rectangles in the corners. These appear in any file I export from Motion, too.
I've tried deleting my Final Cut preferences, but the problem still persists.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with the software, if the graphics card is fried, or if there's a problem with my RAM.

I haven't heard of software problems causing those kind of symtoms.
Try running the Apple Diagnostics test (of the Apple Hardware Test) to see whether it reports something.

My macbook pro see my canon HV30, why won't Final Cut Express?

any NEW suggestions?
I have tried trashing the prefs, starting things in different orders....
I am very frustrated.

I had similar problems. Here's what I did, and now it works. Not sure which part made it work, but hopefully this is helpful:
Open FCE HD.
Connect HV30 via Firewire on the back of the HV30.
Make sure HV30 is on and in "Play" mode.
Make sure the screen of the HV30 is closed.
In FCE HD, go Final Cut Express HD > Easy Setup... > DV-NTSC FireWire Basic >Setup.
In FCE HD, go File > Capture...
It seems odd that the screen being open may have caused a problem, but it worked after I closed the screen. Of course, I also fiddled with other things, so who knows?
Good luck.

Why won't Final Cut Pro X export in 1080P

I'm trying to export video in 1080P in Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4. Every time I click the share button it says I'm exporting in 720P. I tried to change it to 1080P and its greyed out. I even tried click share to Apple device in 1080P still 720. I verified all the clips are 1080P. I've never had this problem before its always just done it. Heres a screenshot of the share screen.

D-OH! Headslapper!
I have those. Every day. Thanks for posting your solution instead of just letting it go. Hardly anyone closes their threads around here and it really helps those who come after, those looking for similar issues.

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.

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.

Best way to show a "kiosk type" video done with final cut pro. Any ideas?

Hi,
Was hoping to get some pro opinions (no pun intended) on the best way to send my edited final cut vid (png format for super clear text) to 32 inch monitors that will play them in the "store". We have 4 tvs, and they all need to show the video, and the sound (music) accompanying the video. The video is around 8 hours long (bunch of edited video clips to music) and will have to loop somehow. It's much too long for a dvd, as I want to keep the quality primo, so I was considering either a video ipod, or an actual computer. Just the ipod is so mall and frail (lol not really but around the people I work with it would be), and a computer might be overkill. Any ideas or opinions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

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.
