Why does Final Cut Pro X speed up my video that I imported?

I have been having this problem off and on during my time using Final Cut since the summer of 2011 and it bugs me sometimes not know why the video always is retimed at a different speed once I import it to an event. I even tried to drag the file in and it still does the same thing. You might be asking "How do you know the video is faster?" Well, I record videos for my band and we do somewhat like music videos and we take shots of us playing our instruments while singing to the song. Anyways, what I do is try to sync up the song that we recorded to the video. But, this time once I tried it, the audio/video of the imported video was sped up compared to the song. I am very confused as to what to do. We reall need help because the deadline for the video is today and we need to have it ready. Thank you to anyone who replies and we hope that you can help us! Have a great day.

The sync function allows you to sync a piece of separate audio to a video file with a scratch audio track. It uses the waveforms of the sound to sync this up. It will not do any speed changes necessary though.
Multicam allows you to sync multiple takes or camera shots or angle together with a single auudio track. You can sync based on a number of different criteria.

P.S. What's the original audio sample rate of your master recording? The Nikon should be shooting in 48k and that's what your playback track should be as well.

Why is final cut pro x 10.0.8 hanging in video preview?

why is final cut pro x 10.0.8 hanging in video preview?

There's all kinds of problems with FCP and the new iMacs.
Mostly it's running out of memory, there are several threads about it. I hope there will be an update soon!

HT5177 Why does Final Cut Pro X tell me mpg is supported, but wont recognize it when I try to import it from my files??!!

I am trying to import an mpg file and Final Cut Pro X wont recognize the file.. please help.
Final Cut Pro says it is a supported file, still wont recognize it!

Yeah depends on the source but generally MPG hasn't ever been supported in Final Cut Pro- as Tom says you want to convert it to ProRes elsewhere before bringing into FCP X.

I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
What are the audio settings?
What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
It could be related to the audio frequency?

Why does Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 show this?

I've been using Final Cut Pro for some time now, and then i began to notice that it wouldnt let me click on "Desktop" or "Rattanak" (User Account)
Does anyone have any ideas on what causes this or how to fix it? Much appreciated!

Update iTunes to 11.2.1 and it should correct itself.

Capturing Video to my final cut pro with lines showing up on the screen

I am capturing video to my computer using final cut pro and it looks like blinds on the screen. Two separate videos showing up in alternating lines. How can I fix it.
thanks
randall

This sounds like dirty heads.
I'd first try cleaning them. Then recapture.
However -- when you say 'lines'... do you mean WIDE lines or like one pixel lines you can only see if you stop the video and look really close?

Why does Final Cut Pro X cost $350 in Australia

when it costs US$299 in the USA and the Australian dollar is worth $1.06US dollars ? Shouldn't Final Cut Pro X cost us $280 ?? A price discrepency such as this in a global economy MAY work (at least be partially explicable) with hardware, but I'm stuggling to understand how software delivered via the App Store has a $70 "Shipping Fee" attached !!!

Weirdly, part of the price shows that Apple has confidence of the relative strength of the Australian economy. They need to set a price that makes sense for the next few years. They obviously think that the exchange rate will change significantly within the next decade. They want to keep the price consistent over the next few versions, which might take us to 2016.
Sadly for your market, saying 'that's unfair' won't help. The markup in the UK vs. US (which requires as little customisation) was 25-40% for many years up until very recently. Apple will only reduce prices if they feel that a competitor will use a foreign market as a beachhead into their domestic market. That hasn't happened for the last 30 years, so I wouldn't hold my breath...

Why would Final Cut Pro 7 work smoother on one user account over another?

I just purchased a new 27" iMac 3.1 Ghz Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB. Just went to Mountain Lion a few days ago. I installed a licensed version of Final Cut Pro 7 on my account (Admin). However, the program immediately started to lag. I click on ANYTHING on the FCP interface (Modify, Sequence, etc), it immediately stalls for about 3 seconds, and then color wheel spins for a few more seconds before the menu finally drops down. Footage logs fine but the same thing happens when I drop a small video snippet on the timeline and try to play. Stall, color wheel, then it needs to "catch up" before the footage starts to play.
I don't think this has anything to do with footage formats or anything like that. I did a little research and someone said to open FCP on a different user account. I did and low and behold, FCP works swimmingly. Very odd. This particular person suggested to uninstall and then reinstall FCP on the main user account. I did. But I still have the same issue with the stalling and lagging of the program on the main user account. Now no footage is logged. It's just an empty project and I'm still having these problems with lagging. So I know it's definitely not a footage issue.
I ran diagnostics on my HD and everything is perfectly fine. Does anybody know of what could be causing this? Thanks!

Possibly corrupted preference files. If you don't have it already, download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager.
Also, since you just did this fresh install, I'd repair permissions in Disk Utility.
Good luck.

Why does final cut pro x dvd burn take so much time?

I have been trying to nurn a DVD and upload to YOUTUBE with Final Cut Pro X .......I have done this with ease many times before but now a 6 minute video is taking 3 hours to load fpr a DVD burn and ove 2 hours for YOUTUBE upload..
I have the energy saver off on ,y imac, and my internet is very high speed.....Help! Thanks

Looks as though nobody has any ideas and as you have not given any details of your Mac or FCP X workflow it's not surprising.
For a start, without knowing any details, you could try trashing the preferences with

I just finished a project in Final Cut Pro. Looks good. BUT when I export it the slugs show as a red screen?

Final Cut Pro finished project looks good in FC but when I export The slugs appear as a Red screen any ideas?

You certainly are new at this. That's cool, we all were new at one point.
You have a MacBookPro. That means you are using at least Mac OS X 10.5.6. Otherwise FCS 3 would not even install. You also should have QuickTime 7 installed. If you don't, it's in the Additional Installs folder on the Mac OSX disc that came with your computer.
OS 2 is an ancient Microsoft/IBN product and doesn't run on a Mac and certainly won't run Final Cut.
Your camera shoots in AVCHD format. The files are MPEG 4 and should have been transcoded to ProRes LT for use in FCP. Your Sequence settings should also be ProRes LT to match the transcoded footage.
Your laptop is not a codec.
Wiki definition:
A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data stream or signal. word codec is a portmanteau of 'compressor-decompressor' or, more commonly, 'coder-decoder'. A codec (the program) should not be confused with a coding or compression format or standard – a format is a document (the standard), a way of storing data, while a codec is a program (an implementation) which can read or write such files. In practice "codec" is sometimes used loosely to refer to formats, however.
Don't export using QuickTime Conversion. Export as Self Contained with Current Settings (same as your FCP Sequence, which by now is hopefully ProRes LT. Import that file into iDVD.
Better yet, learn DVD Studio Pro and Compressor. Both are included in Final Cut Studio and will give you far more control and much better results.
Whilst your video is encoding, take the time to read the user manuals found in the menu bar under the Help item. They contain a wealth of information and you can amaze the teacher and fellow students with your new found knowledge.

Why is Final Cut Pro X running so slow?

Hi! I have a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro (Version OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3, Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3) and I use Final Cut Pro X on my computer, however after once I downloaded its software onto my harddrive, Final Cut Pro X runs incredibly slow. I can't even complete a 2 minute project without getting frusrated by its lack of speed. I was looking up on several discussions referring to Final Cut Pro X's lack of speed and I noticed the computer's memory usually has something to do with it. I have 4GB of memory in use, and if i purchased a 16GB memory slot, would that solve my problem with Final Cut? I was hoping it'd be a quick fix because I use Final Cut faithfully in my school's editing lab and would love for it to work on my Macbook Pro! c:

FCPX is pretty fast, although obviously your experience wouldn't support that statement.
Performance does depend a lot on hardware, and although your machine is not the beefiest (particularly with the integrated GPU), it should out-perform my 3 year old MBP.
Yes, more RAM would help. Going to 12 GB, you'll see a big difference. If you can go to 16 GB, all the better.
However, your current configuration shouldn't be unacceptably slow. Check your HD and make sure you have at least 25% free space. With only 4 GB of RAM, it's important not to have a lot of other processes active the same time. Use Activity Monitor to check on free memory and page-outs..
Also, you will have better results if your events and projects are on a fast external drive (Thunderbolt would be best, but the selection is limited. Otherwise, there are Tb to Firewire adaptors you can try and of course, there is USB3.
Good luck,

Why my final cut pro is in photo mode? (Photo is appearing on the top of my timeline)

Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
My final cut pro is in photo mode. over my timeline (middle left of the screen) , there is the icon movie and next to it the word "Photo". When I export my edit to Compressor i can use only the photo format and not the video even if im working on a video sequence. it is not recognized as such. it is weird.

Let face the evidence I have to make some progress with FCP
Because the FCP X UI is so accessible, and because people can accomplish a lot of tasks intuitively, new users often try an intuitive approach to learning the application. However, FCP X is actually a deep/complex app and making the effort to get some structured training is a good investment (IMO). There are books, video tutorials - with and without practice exercises - and, of course, classroom learning. Lots of good sources for that, including Lynda.com, Ripple Training, Larry Jordan, the Apple Pro Training from Peacjpit. Many contributors here recommend Izzy. Tom Wolsky, who is the top contributor here is a teacher/author with info on his site. All of them offer some form of samples so you can see who's style best fits your needs. Do a search.
Good luck.
