Why is the SmoothCam (smooth cam) filter not applying to an exported clip?

I have a clip that required some masking (which my graphics guy did on his PC). After importing the masked clip into FCP, I can't get the SmoothCam filter to apply to it. SmoothCam works great on the original shot from the camera (an MXF file), but not on the clip after it was "tweaked outside" of FCP.
Does anyone know if SmoothCam has a limitation on what types of files it will work on (ie only raw footage files, MXF files, etc) or is there perhaps some metadata in the raw file that's needed for SmoothCam?
We had tried exporting a smoothed version before I gave it to him for masking but he couldn't open it on his PC (don't get me started on that! haha).
He did a wonderful job on the masking (using AfterEffects) but the clip still requires the SmoothCam. And SmoothCam is working just fine (I can still apply it on "raw" clips). But when I try to apply it to this "outside exported" clip, it just doesn't do anything...no error, no indication of analyzing the clip or even trying, nothing at all happens.

I apologize. I posted this question a little prematurely. After looking through the FCP manual, I found this quote:
+Note: The SmoothCam filter can be applied only to clips that refer to QuickTime+
+media files. Also, the SmoothCam filter compensates only for the original video+
+within a QuickTime media file; the results of filter and motion parameter settings are+
+ignored. Make sure filters applied to a clip are ordered so that the SmoothCam filter+
+is applied first.+
I decided to post this reply in case anyone else came across this issue. Basically, it appears that SmoothCam will only work on QuickTime files (.mov I guess?). My graphics guy had made the file as an MP4 (again..don't get me started I opened the his MP4 in QT and re-exported it as a .mov and SmoothCam is analyzing it right now! So all is well.
Sorry for the almost unnecessary post. Feel free to comment to expand/clarify my findings.
Thanks!

Smooth cam filter problem

I have been having issues with using the smooth cam filter. Whenever i use a transition from a clip with the smooth cam filter applied i get a glitch frame during the transition. This holds true to every transition. Has anybody else ran into this problem or know of any fixes?

I've no idea what is causing it but whenever FCP behaves incorrectly it's always worth trashing the preferences.
Corrupt preferences can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP 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, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP .

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Hi,
This error is generally specific to Internet Explorer and has two possible causes. The most likely explanation is that your browser has unusual browser security settings. I would recommend you try
resetting your security settings to defaults (varies by version but all essentially the same). You may also have to turn off
Protected Mode which is enabled by default on some systems. If you’re seeing this error (or a version of it) outside Internet Explorer, you may have a server-level setting that is preventing your content from being framed.

Why is the Planned quantity in MCP9 not appearing(Repetitive Manufacturing)

Sub:WHY IS THE PLANNED QUANTITY IN MCP9 NOT APPEARING(REPITITIVE MANUFACTURING
Why are the planned orders not displayed anymore. They are still in the system - in MD04 - but since we moved from release 3.1i to 4.0 the plan order qty disappeared from transaction MCP9!!!!.Now we are using Version 4.7
There must be a reason
Perhaps searching in SAP OSS system -if the transaction is not supported in rel 4.0 anymore and we should use something else instead
Or we need to apply an OSS note from SAP to repair the problem...
Or the info system update must be modified because of rel change... I don't know.
Please suggest your valuable guidance,Iam not able to enclose a screenshot of the problem,planned qty is 0 or it is not getting displayed.If you reply to this query i can send a detailed analysis to that mail id .

In most apps, you can't paste into the password field. It's a security risk.

Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

Because the included Maps app no longer gets the maps data from Google, so no more street view.
You can get a free Google Maps app from the iTunes App Store.

GBK is obsolete in China.
UTF-8 is reasonable for modern computer.

Why is the FaceTime HD camera on the thunderbolt display not as sharp as the iPad

Why does the pop up blocker bar not always give you the option to view a blocked pop up?

Usually when Firefox notifies you that a pop up has been blocked it gives you the option to view the blocked pop up. However, sometimes that option is not there. Typically this isn't a problem at all but once in a while there will be a pop up that I wish to view but there is no option to view it. Does anyone know why the pop up blocker will sometimes give you the fourth option to "Show 'www.blockedwebsite.com'" and sometimes will only give you the three options of "Allow pop-ups for the site", "Edit Pop-Up Blocker Options", and "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked"? How can I view a blocked pop-up when it only provides the first three options and not the fourth option to view it? I hope my question was clear enough. Thanks in advance!

It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/dom.popup_maximum
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
