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 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 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 won't Final Cut Pro 7 allow me to Shift, Command or Option-select items?

I am having a major problem with Final Cut Pro 7. I commonly select multiple items using the Shift (⇧), Command (⌘), or Option (⌥) keys. However, just recently it started not allowing me to select multiple items this way. What happens is either the timeline, the slug, or the canvas will play (depending on which one is selected) I didn't change anything on the computer; it just started happening. I even tried reinstalling the whole entire Final Cut Studio. However, the problem still remains. This is a real problem and really is causing major issues for me. How do I fix this!?!? I'm at a loss. I've tried everything that I could think of short of reinstalling the entire OS (which I may end up doing). Can someone help me?

>I believe that the uninstaller that Digital Rebellion provides (and I used) does, in fact, delete the preferences...
Of course. DR's FCS Remover does exactly what it says on the tin. Except it does not come in a tin.
What it does is remove every vestige of any version of Final Cut Studio.
I ran it on my computer and filled the space that FCS took up by running a script which installed an animated .gif of a dancing banana several times over. Let's be honest. Video editing is a stupid hobby anyway.
Here is the banana...

Why won't final cut pro x upload to youtube?

why wont my video upload to youtube via the share tab?
it goes nearly all the way then just stops, regardelss of if its in SD or HD.
any reason for this? is it because i have the trial version?

what looks like is happening is: FCPX uploads your video direct* to youtube, then it waits while youtube processes your video. Considering FCPX creates extremely high quality h.264 output for youtube (everything, actually), it can take youtube a relatively extraordinary amount of time to process the upload.
If you click on Share Monitor, then turn down the disclosure triangle on your Project ("folder") and click on the circled 'i' to the right of the exporting video, you'll see at the bottom of the pop-out XXXX Video Sharing.mov to YouTube XX% complete (after FCPX hits the ~95% mark). ...Progress is s...l...o...w...
From inspecting the log files, it looks like youtube and fcpx are communicating while youtube finishes processing your video. Testing a vid, I went to my youtube video manager page and sure enough, my upload was listed with a (processing...) on it. There is no graphic representation available of the stage of processing like the normal upload page gives. [Even though YT was indicating that the upload was complete and it was processing - when I cancelled in FCPX (@95% / about 10percent processing on YT's side) - it killed the upload to YT.]
Whether or not an upload succeeds... well that's a whole other kettle of fish. I don't have the patience to wait it out. Besides, I know how to optimize videos for youtube, and FCPX direct is about...oh... 4 to 5 times overkill... in most cases.
*the first thing FCPX does is render the project out in H.264 format before uploading... It does not do that "on the fly".

Why won't final cut pro accept my quicktime files

I have the final on my computer but when I look quicktime files up via FCPro the icon appear transparent and I can't click on it. In the past I converted them to some IPod playable final but it killed the definition and took forever so I am not doing it again.
Solutions please?

It may help if you could post a screen shot (or shots) of what you see – presumably in the Media Import window?

Why won't Final Cut Pro X sync multicam clip?

I am using two Canon 5D mkii cameras and an H4N to make short videos. When I select the clips from camera A and camera B and the H4N and click to make a multicam clip it always tries to sync the camera A and B files onto one angle instead of each camera having it's own angle. My work around right now is to make a multicam clip just using one camera and the audio (which syncs correctly) and then adding an angle and manually syncing the second camera. This wastes so much of my time though. Is there an easier way?

Try going into the inspector and filling in the "camera name" and "angle" fields for all the clips, then try to create a new Multicam clip again.

Why won't Final Cut Pro import layers in PSD or TIFF files?

I'm trying to import layers that were created as EPS files. I converted them into PSD and TIFF files in Photoshop CS6. FCP is rejecting the PSD files and flattening the the TIFFs. Help!

Perfect. I changed the mode to RGB and it worked. I had already confirmed the layers were all rasterized. Thank you for your help.

Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

Final cut pro X export files bigger than originals

I got two WMV files, each file size about 500mbs, I converted them to mp4 using permute. Afther converting, each file size about 490mbs.
Then I open the mp4 files with final cut pro, I just want to mend the two clips together, it's that simple. I finish puting the clips adjacent to each other. Then hit export and chose encoding method .h264.
When final cut finished exporting, the movie is over 4GB in size.
Why is it so big ? the orginal files combined size is just about 1 GB.

File numer 1
format :H.264, 1,280 x 720 AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
FPS: 29.97
data size: 1.23 GB
data rate: 3.64 Mbit/s
current size: 1,280 × 720 pixels (Actual)

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.

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.
