Why don't these videos show up in Final Cut Pro X?

Okay so I am very new to my iMac and to using final cut pro for editing. I have been using Premiere Pro for a while so im not new to this type of software. However i cannot work out why Final Cut Pro won't show me the video to these clips. It plays the clip fine and the Audio works so i can hear it playing, Just nothing gets displayed on the icon, or in the preview screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Your screen shot didn't load. Not sure what you were trying to show but you need to give the exact specs of the media as they appear in the movie inspector of the QuickTime player.

  • Why don't these videos display in Final Cut Pro X?

    I am very new to using my iMac and to final cut pro. I can't figure out why these videos don't display video in the application. They play fine with audio in FCP and they are perfectly watchable through quicktime on the Mac. I have a screenshot, just ask if there is any other information you need to help me resolve the problem, thanks!!

    Tom is correct it is a Sanyo camera whih shoots in MPEG4, I was actually unaware that fcp doesnt support this!
    When i put the files into a project they just display exactly the same, the audio works but no visual to them!
    I will try what yous have suggested when i get home from work this evening and hopefully the converted files will play nicely!
    Thank you both!

  • Converting Nokia N95 video for editing in Final Cut Pro?

    I have some .mpeg4 videos shot with a Nokia N95 mobile phone that I want to edit in Final Cut Pro.
    I read everywhere that .mpeg4 is not an "editing format".
    I want to use Quicktime Pro (or Mpeg Streamclip) to convert the footage to something I can use in FCP *without degrading the original quality* but I am completely lost as to what settings I should use.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have done some test conversions but a side by side comparison in Quicktime of the original and converted footage showed the latter to be softer, less contrasty and with different colours. Not at all what I wanted.
    I've posted this question on th eFCP and iMovie forums but haven't had any definitive replies. Is this really so complicated?
    Thanks in advance!

    I've been using iMovie 09 with these files but because the image quality is pretty poor I need the image correction functions of FCP. I can import the .mpeg4 files to FCP OK and work with them but I seem to spend all my time rendering. This is why I began to wonder if my initial file format and sequence settings were what they should be (and I am completely lost here).
    The edited film will be uploaded to blip.tv and then embedded in websites. My concern is not to degrade the quality during my workflow.

  • Video walkthrough online for Final Cut Pro X when approaching it from a Never Been Used Before scenario?

    Hi there
    I've used iMovie a few times and been quiet successful with it, but I was thinking of getting Final Cut Pro X as I want to do some more advanced video editing now (I really dont know the terms for what I want to be able to do are, but things like be able to stack say 10 different camera angles up on top of each other and decide which part of each one I want to use).
    My problem is that I cant find many videos online (youtube etc) if I were to approach it as if I've never used it before.
    Most of them go on about how things have changed from one version to the next and whats new in this edition.
    I dont want WHATS NEW though, I want WHAT IT CAN DO.
    So some kind of walkthrough (It can be an 90 minutewalk plus through for all I care) that shows off most of the things you can do with it.
    Any suggestions of ACTUAL links?
    Thanks in advance.

    What you described isn't really multi-cam editing.
    I think FCP X is idea for what you want because you can AUDITION as many clips as you want then you simply select this or that angle and play it through in the timeline - it's a fabulous feature in FCP X.
    I strongly recommend you watch some good (PROPER) tutorials on FCP X.
    I've tried a number of FCP X Tutorials and in my experience, Ripple Trainingis clearly the best.
    There is a small fee, but it's more than worth it.
    I just read your follow-up post.

  • Best Video format for Aperture, Final Cut Pro, iPad, and iPhones

    I am moving all of my photos and video into Aperture and notice that only .MOV video form my iPhone 4 and .MP4 video from my go pro camera are displayed in Aperture browser mode. The .MPG files form my old Sony Powershot do not show up in the browser or in "Video" searches. I also have a set of very large (13GB)  .AVI video files that I cannot import into Final Cut Pro.
    My first question is:
    If I want all of my videos to be completely compatible with all of my Apple products, should I convert everthing to .MOV format, and if so; whcih converter should I use?
    My second question is:
    My ten big (13gb) sets of vacation video are still on mini DV cassettes. I have already imported them into a PC as .AVI files. What should I convert them to, in order to edit them in Final Cut Pro; or should I import them again directly into Final Cut Pro? If so, which format is best?
    Thank you for your advice,

    "Is this even possible?."
    No.
    First, you don't need any additional software.
    Second, every time video is processed it will change in some way. It will never be exactly the same as the original. It may in fact look better. However, you are not dealing with a top of the line camera. There are many compromises in it to make it affordable. These compromises in lens, chip size and quality and so on will be exacerbated as the media is processed. If the shooting conditions are not optimal, light, camera support, content, format, all of these will make reproducing the exact original more difficult and more improbable. That said AVCHD is inherently an excellent format and you should get excellent results. There is a great deal you can do in color correction and effects to improve the image and make it even more pleasing than the original, but this requires work and is not sonething achieved by clicking a button. It is also not something achieved by simply plugging in the camera and running the software. That is not how to get the best out of it. It's complex, professional software that's going to take time to learn, and video production is a complex process that takes time and effort to do really well.
    My opinion which is worth what you paid for it.

  • How to access videos from iPhoto in Final Cut Pro X

    Hi,
    is it possible to access all the videos stored in iPhoto directly from Final Cut Pro X, compareable to iMovie?
    Any idea?
    Thanks for any help.
    rob

    iPhoto and Aperture videos don't show up in the Photos browser in FCP X. Apple's directions (can't recall where I saw them) state to open both programs (FCP X and iPhoto) next to each other and then drag and drop the videos from iPhoto (or Aperture) to an event in FCP X.
    Not how you'd hope it worked, but it works nontheless.

  • 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.

  • Why do I have 2 fcpbundles after upgrading final cut pro?

    After upgrading to final cut pro 10.1 I have 2 bundles with different projects in each. Does anyone know of a way to merge these bundles so I only have one? Do I just open the package contents of both and drag files from one into the other or will that make a mess?
    Also, both of these are on an external drive. When I open final cut pro from my applications folder, it only shows my "macintosh HD" events and projects but when I close FCP and open the specific G-Drive's projects and events.fcpbundle it says it's loading all the events but then it gets stuck on a specific one and doesn't finish loading. It gets stuck whether I open one or the other (of the above bundles shown in the picture) any tips on getting my events to load?
    Thanks,
    Caleb

    The automatic appending of -2 drives my crazy. I had MyPictures-2-2-2.lrcat there for a minute.
    Consider (with Lr closed) renaming the lrcat file and preview .lrdata folders, and preferrably the catalog parent folder to match.

  • SD Card not showing up in Final Cut Pro on the MacBook Air

    I have been using Final Cut Pro X on a Macbook Air (1.7ghz Intel i5, 256gb ssd, 4gb RAM) and when I insert an SD Card, it shows up but immediately disappears. It continues to be displayed on my friends MacBook Pro, but does not on my Air. 

    Apologies! All sorted. My mac was just taking so long to render the audio lol
    Still having issues with syncing audio (zoom h4n) video clips (multicam clip or sync clips). Normally works like a dream even on difficult material, but for some reason now randomly sync's clips way off the mark.
    Cheers

  • Why doesn't the Keyword search work with Final Cut Pro X

    Most of my images have keywords.  I will frequently search these keywords.  However, I find in some cases Final Cut Pro will simply not find some words. The words are indeed there, Final Cut Pro just cannot find them.

    Details, please.
    What you find depends on where and how you search.
    If you have a library selected, any search will be in that library; if you have a keyword collection that is where the search will be done, and so on.

  • MP4 video looks blurry in Final Cut pro

    So im recording screen captures from Jing Pro into final cut pro and when i view the captures NOT in fcp they look fine but when I view them in FCP and when i export them from FCP, the quality looks terrible, even when I put it at the highest possible quality (1280x1080).
    any fixes?
    please help

    Open up Compressor, add your video, in the presets type in ProRes, it should narrow it down. Choose the prores LT preset, make sure in the audio that it is enabled and set to Linear PCM 48K...
    Submit, and the resulting video should now look appropriate in FCP.
    In FCP, add your video to a clean timeline, FCP should ask if you want to change your sequence setting to match, click YES.
