Why don't my FCP 7.0.3 and ProRES codecs get along?

Thanks to all who've encountered this or might have some insight (including Jon Chappel).
After Snow Leopard update and a complete FCS reinstall, my edit workstation feels pretty stable and runs along for my day to day just fine. I did, however encounter an "ism" with all flavors of ProRes.
FCS gets the "jitters" with the footage playing in Viewer and Timeline. Now, I first encountered this (plus UI crashes) when I did the Snow Leopard update without doing a FCS reinstall. It was a crazy ride. NOW, only experiencing this anomally after laying in PRORES into FCS.
Latest incident was log and transfer some AVCHD from Panasonic AF100 --> ProRES 422/422LT
Any thoughts, insight or a way to try to reinstall just the prores codecs would be helpful.
Thanks all

Thx all for your help. I tried all of it. A friend suggested what Brad suggested:
When I created a new user I found that the fonts were once again appearing as they should/were originally in both FCP and Motion. It seems that that one move to assign the rights to subfolders in my user account corrupted all of the font files. Regardless of having tried all of the various ways to fix the system caches and pref files nothing worked to get my user account and the admin account back to normal.
But here's something I didn't expect and maybe it will save someone the hours i wasted. After I created a new account and assigned admin rights, I was still having problems with launching my Adobe applications: "Error 150:30 Licensing has stopped working..." So I uninstalled my entire Creative Suites apps and reinstalled them. This fixed it for the new user account.
But get this: when I went back to the old "corrupt" user account, it was now working again also! Including FCP and Motion and all of the word processing and Adobe apps. I've been editing on them all day and knock on woodhead it all works perfectly again.
Cheers f

  • When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

    When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

    The advice to go to Compressor left out the part that you may want to convert your audio to AC3 becaus ethe MPEG2 bitrate is probably too high for DVD specs.
    This method is in the DVDSP manual and it's in the Compressor manual, both difficult to locate, but easily searchable.
    Here's what I'd do: Export the timeline form FCP in the native sequence settings, self-contained. Bring that self-contained movie into DVDSP and let DVDSP handle the transcode.
    The advice to go to iDVD is even easier.

  • I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • ?Why is redesigned App Store Charts so lame and can I get that developers job

    Why is redesigned App Store Charts so lame and can I get that developers job?  Cannot read app name, lame presentation, cannot read app developer name, how sorted - have not seen anything new since iOS6 upgrade, app store revenues must be declining for advanced users.

    You should be able to download and use the additional loops without a problem, but it works not always smoothly. And there have been different fixes that worked for different people. See this long thread if something will work in your case:
    GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15137750#15137750
    Sometimes you simply need to reload the "Updates" tab of the AppStore using ⌘R after signing in with your AppleID and starting the download.

  • HT204053 Why don't my new Apps go ahead and download onto my phone?

    Why don't my apps go ahead and download into my iPhone now?  There is storage space?

    Hi Cabbagejuice,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would check to make sure Automatic Downloads are on for the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone:
    iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539
    Enabling Automatic Downloads on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your device.
    Tap Sign In if you're not already signed in to the iTunes Store.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Tap to enable or disable Automatic Downloads for each content type.
    If they are already on, I would also suggest restarting and resetting your iPhone to see if that resolves the issue:

  • Why don't the changes to my playlists and new songs (except the ones I buy from the iTunes store that automatically download onto my iPod) always sync to my iPod Touch 4th Generation?

    I haven't yet tried it in iTunes 10.5.3 (I'm downloading it right now), but I don't expect that Apple has fixed the problem, if there is one. I have it set to automatically sync my music and sometimes it will work, usually when I make large changes. To overcome this, I have to unselect the (a?) playlist from the music sync for my iPod, sync it, reselect the playlist, and sync it again. It's very annoying to me. This problem exists whether I sync it with a cord or wirelessly. I have it set to backup on my computer (last generation MacBook (2010), base model, OS X 10.7.2).

  • Why don't purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy no longer sync in my iPad2 and iPod touch 4?

    I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and  iPod touch 4. No more,  even before I upgraded to iOS6.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • Why don't iMovie support native HDV capture and editing?

    i would like to see iMovie HD 6 to support native HDV capture and edit. is it possible?

    no, FCE-HD (what an abreviation!) uses the same trick as iM-HD, converting HiDef into AIC....
    native HD is really more for the pros... yet! I think, the basic problem to be solved first is -r media, meaning, any HD/blue-ray-DVD-r disks, which make it possible for the average user to store his/her products.... but as far as I follow the discussion, right now the industry is caring more for commercial disks, and that HDMI "problem" (broadcasting can include a copyprotection, so no use of any HD/DVD HiDef recorders...!)... finally, we can record only our selfmade movies... maybe that's a little less joy...
    actually, converting finished HDmovies into h264 with a high bitrate and storing that onto hd is the only realistic option........

  • Why on my ipad do some PDFs download and others I get a blank screen?

    When I use safari to download PDFs sometimes I can and other times I get a blank page. But if I download the same pfd on my iPhone it works. Why doesn't it ways work when I use my ipad ?

    I was having the same problem. I noticed that the PDFs that I was having problems with were usually large PDFs. I opened them on my computer and reprinted them through Adobe Reader but I refined them to a smaller size. Most of the time this does the trick. I know its a pain, but if you need to take PDFs with you on your iPad, its the only way I found it works. Here's how to do it:
    Open the PDF on you computer (PC or Mac).
    Click File--> Print in Reader.
    Select "Adobe PDF" under printer.
    Click on Properties --> Adobe PDF Settings (tab) --> Default settings. Select "Smallest File Size" from drop down. Click OK.
    Click Print and save to your desktop.
    This will create a small version of the original PDF file on you desktop.
    Then email the PDF to yourself. Click on the PDF in the body of the email and open it. If you need to take it with you and read it without internet or wifi access, open it in in iBooks and it will be saved on your device.
    I know this is a pain, but its the only way I can get certain PDFs to open on my iPad. If you don't have access to a computer, ask who ever is sending you the PDF to do it on their end and send it again.
    Apple really needs to fix this problem. iOS really has a problem with certain PDFs. Sometimes you not only get a blank screen, but I find that some files are corrupted and come out with crazy colors and unreadable areas.

  • Why has my ipad mini screen switched off and i cant get it on. It still connects to the computer but wont switch on. ive tried a restoring it. it hasnt helped

    I was watching a video on the internet when my ipad screen suddenly went black. its not responding but still connects to the computer fine. I tried to restore it and it hasnt helped. it says its restored but the screen still wont function. Is it broke for good?

    Is it possible that your battery has died? or that it's gotten too hot?
    It is possible that the screen has died, or it could just be a glitch (my screen stopped responding once, eventually all I needed to do was give it a reset)
    Since your device responds it means its guts are still good.
    Is it still under warranty? If so and if the screen has failed it could qualify for a replacement.

  • Why don't you have a search engine?

    Well, from the user name, it looks like I've had problems with you in the past. I am guessing you didn't answer me. No matter, I have more questions.
    1. why don't you have a search engine? I am getting rid of Google, duckduckgo is still amateurish, and Bing is a Nazi.
    2. why don't you have the guts to include a contact email on your site?
    3. why does a new tab open up as a blank and why can't it be personalized?

    2. There is no contact email for Firefox, just as there is no contact email for most free and open source software projects. We would be flooded with hundereds of emails a minute and don't have the resources to handle that. That is why we have this support site to help those users who need support. This way the community can help with support as well :)

  • FCP Video files burn to DVD, Only gets audio when played

    Hi,
    I know this has been asked many times, but, it's late at night and I'm looking for a quick answer please.
    I burnt ideo clips,which I have exported thru FCP, and burn them straight onto a DVD thru the Finder.
    The person who got the DVD said he only gets audio from the clips, so, he can't see them.
    Have many ideas of what I should do, but, what is the most common solution to this problem?

    #48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD or HDV or ProRes on my computer.
    Shane's Stock Answer #48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD, HDV or ProRes QT files on your computer.
    The DVCPRO HD, HDV and ProRes codecs only comes with FCP. If your computer does not have FCP installed, it cannot view these quicktime files. It doesn't matter if it is a Mac or PC, without FCP installed, you cannot view these files.
    If you need to view ProRes material, you can download the ProRes decoder (mac and windows compatible) for ProRes
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forWindows.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forMac
    If your footage was captured as DVCRO HD you can buy the Calibrated DVCPRO HD decoder:
    http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QDVCProHD.asp
    HDV, XDCAM? Calibrated has you covered too:
    http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp
    If you have MXF files from a P2 camera and you need to view the footage on a computer without FCP, you can download P2CMS from Panasonic:
    http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/p2-hd/downloads-and-updates.asp
    Or you need the other party to compress the footage into a format your computer can play, like H.264.

  • Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

    Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
    The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple. 
    The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up.  Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power.  2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.  Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad. 
    Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  THANK YOU

    If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:

    I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
    My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
    I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT?  I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
    SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro      was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
    Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
    PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?
