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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

Final cut pro x importing imovie project

I have iMovie '11 and am trying out Final Cut Pro X's trial version. Final Cut Pro X will not successfully "import iMovie Project." Two things happen: 1) It starts the import of the iMovie Project but only reaches the point where it shows video outline in dark grey with no acual video imagery and 2) shuts down Final Cut Pro X with a follow on option to "Report, Ignore" to Apple. I've reported it, but would like to know if anyone is having the same issue and if there is a fix. I have just the Trial Version to see if I wish to buy, but if functions are not working properly I won't buy it.

I have the full version and I can't get iMovie '11 projects to import into FCPX. I have tried everything I can think of. The import progress bar starts, then it crashes. Anyone with instructions on getting in it please help. I am migrating stuff to my new MBP and the iMovie stuff is recognized by the iMovie on the new MBP. The iMovie events did import into FCPX fine however.

Final Cut Pro Video Import Crash Problems

Whenever I try to import video files into Final Cut Pro X the program crashes. I've tried numerous formats and nothing is working. If it does pull the video in and lets me see it briefly prior to crashing, the footage appears shaky and with bright green lines running through it. It does not look like this if you play the clip outside of FCP. I've used FCP to make videos within the last year without this problem and have updated as well as uninstalled and re-installed the software to see if that would helped, but nothing has worked. I am stumped and my client is getting antsy for a finished product. Please advise.

I've had the same problem on both my laptop and my desktop:
Laptop specs: 13" MacBook Pro (2012) / 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 / 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 / Intel HD Graphics 4000 513 MB / 450 GB Free space
Desktop specs: iMac (2009), Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.66 GHz / 296 GB Free space
I'm feeling like a tech moron though as I am not sure about finding this information, "Frame size, frame rate, video codec, audio codec, sample rate."

IMovie nor Final Cut Pro will import video from camcorder

Both iMovie 10.0.5 and the Final Cut Pro Trial I just downloaded (to test before purchasing) will not import my movie. The movie plays on my camcorder and it plays in both iMovie and Final Cut but when I click to import, a message appears in the top right corner that reads: NO DATA FROM DEVICE.
Once again, the movie plays on the camera AND plays on the screen. But there is nothing recorded into an event and no file / data transferred to the computer.
I searched the support forums and tried a freeware named DEBUT. It worked but the video playback was very poor, scratchy and blurry.
Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.9.5
Camera Sony DCR-TRV460 (8MM, Digial 8, Hi8 tapes)
Firewire 4 pin to Firewire 800 cable, into Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor, into iMac.
How do I get these old tapes into iMovie or Final Cut for editing?

I don't think I can help with your Digital 8 directly into iMovie 10.0.5 or FCPX, but try a few work-arounds.
Try copying iMovie'09 from old to new Mac via a memory stick or external HD. It is only 250 MB.
This still may not work on the new Mac as it may be an issue with Digital 8/Mavericks combination. Any way if you can get iMovie 09 onto new Mac ,give it a try.
OR
Buy an external HD and transfer some data onto this to free up some space on your MacBook.
Then use your MacBook /iMovie 09 to import to Events onto your external HD.
Connect external HD to new Mac and import the DV files in Media of iMovie 09 into FCPX.
A word of caution!
When the files are imported into FCPX from the Media in iMovie 09 check to see if files are copied or just referenced.
If they are copied then you can delete them from iMovie 09, if they are referenced then you must not delete from 09.
You can normally tell: if copied then it takes a while to transfer,If referenced then done almost immediately.
My guess is ,they will be copied, but check.
The above is a bit messy but may get you moving with your new Mac.
Buying a new Mac is an expensive way of overcoming an overloaded HD on the MacBook. Cheaper to buy an external HD.
This may be useful;
How can i move or copy projects and events to an external drive? (Version 9 and earlier)
Someone may be able to suggest a fix for Digital 8 into FCPX directly.

HT4663 final cut pro x import question

So I have a 500gb external hard drive that is open. On another external hard drive I have about 300gb of footage. So far I have imported 80gb onto the open 500gb hard drive and it has filled it up. Am I doing something wrong on the import into Final Cut Pro X?

I am not 100% sure what you mean by where did it come from, so I don't mean to sound dumb but I will explain it best I can.
I went on a road trip across America and filmed around 300GB of footage. It was shot on Sony XDcam I believe. The media is .mts. I broke the footage up into 4 different legs of the trip, and each folder varies in size the first one is 80GB and the second is around 50GB and so on. So I am Importing them by their folders one at a time. So when the first Leg of the trip was done importing I noticed the 500GB drive I got for the footage was already full.
So the way I imported was I clicked on the import button and went through the archive button to find the hard drive with the footage. So I don't believe I used the optimize function when I imported, unless it was the proxy setting that I check marked during the importing process.
Here is a screen shot of what kind of footage I am trying to bring in, I hope it helps.
Thanks
