Will not ingest footage.

I'm trying to ingest footage from the log and transfer window. I used to be able to do it and now I can't. I have a canon hf 10 and 1 TB external harddrive that i use as a scratch disk cause i'm working on a macbook. I have the setup in 1080i and 60i, which is how my footage was shot. I have the Apple Intermediate Codec checked in the AVCHD Plugin. I don't know what is going on, but when i open the Log and Transfer window nothing happens and it won't ingest my clips. Any suggestions?

I am having a similar problem with my Sony HDR-XR520 camera. I just got both the camera and MacPro this week. I had FCE seeing the clips earlier this evening, but got the exclamation point and they stopped transfering. I mucked around with some of the preferences and now nothing shows up.
I have tried both the codecs under the little gear sign on the Log and Transfer window. Not sure if the frame rate makes any difference. There are also settings to mess with on the easy set up.
Which plist exactly are you suggesting we trash? There seem to be quite a few.
thanks

Final cut will not ingest files from drhd100

Has anyone had a chance to ingest media using the Focus Enhancements drhd100. If so I could really use their help on getting my system to ingest it. I'm not convinced that Apple has the setup properly I know that you can ingest with p2's and sony hddrive but I don't think they've tested focus jvc's

So here is an update per my conversations with both Apple and Focus- the manufacture of the JVC proHD DRHD100 Portable HDD.
"IT'S JUST NOT AVAILABLE!"
At this point neither apple nor Focus have the ability to communicate efficiently between one another.
By efficient I mean, whether it be apple or focus who takes the lead, I don't care, but someone needs to this is a huge problem. I suspect that the burden should lie with Apple seeing how the media ends in final cut, but that is just my opinion.
Enough ranting and raving, back to the point.
Apple doesn't have the necessary metaData file structure setup to import or ingest the HDV codec created to read the span clips generated from this medium as a single capture. (Firestore or proHD DRHD100, etc.) The newly released update to the ProHD driver will allow 60p but then it has no way to collace the spanned clip back together. That Functionality in FCP is there only for the Panasonic P2 cards, for now. Same issue in my opinion as Sony not, being able to import/ingest from the Sony HDD Cams and its .m2t files.
Regarding transport stream in .M2T I've spent alot of time on this and it's a dead end. There is no codec currently that will transfer .m2t with proper timecode to .mov. I'm hoping a programmer out there will take up the challenge.
About the only way to work with the .m2t would be to use a software like GrassValley's Canopus editing or Sony Vegas. But that's a waist of my time and Money. To use those software only as converters. Urgghhhhssh@#$$
So I'll end by saying good luck and if I'm lucky and persistent maybe I can guilt trip Apple into building the first universal log and transfer window for an NLE. That's what needs to happen, a window similar to what Log and Capture provides for the tape medium, FCP or someone needs to build that for the HDD MEDIUM and optical Medium. Who knows maybe they already have that for the sony optical, but those cameras are out of my price range anyway, so I couldn't care less if those can be read into an NLE system.
Thanks

My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

FCE will not capture PAL footage

Hi,
I'm trying to make a video for some English friends with footage they sent to me which is in PAL format. Normally I use HDV, so I changed the setting under "Easy Setup" to DV-PAL, but FCE will not let me capture it. The camera reads it and displays it on the screen, but it is not recognized by the computer. When I try to "capture now" an error message eventually appears saying "This operation could not be completed as there is no video."
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Sorry...I am located in the U.S. My "Easy Setup" setting is normally HDV 1080i60 but I have changed it to DV-PAL. I don't know much about PAL or the different PAL settings (anamorphic, 32khz, etc). I'm not sure I understand your last question, but the camera does display "DVout i.Link" once connected to the computer.
I have tried trashing my preferences but no luck. Apologies for not knowing more about the situation but some of this stuff is a bit over my head. Thanks!

I have downloaded footage from a Sony Z1 on to a hard drive which I've put on to my Mac Book Pro and it will not read in iMovie. Can somebody help me?

I shot three video clips on a Sony Z1 camera. As I only had the cable to plug it in to my PC, I uploaded the footage on to the PC and then copied it on to my hard drive. I then put the hard drive into my MacBook Pro so that I could continue to edit it on there, however it will not read the files. The audio is WAV and the video footage has come up as M2V files. I need to be able to import it in to iMovie to edit however it is not letting me do so.
Is it because they are M2V's or do I need to upload the footage directly on to the MacBook and not on to a PC first?
If anyone could help, it would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Mollie

re-post in the iMovie forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie. Good luck.

Ingested footage from p2 and cannon DSLRs not previewing in Lion

Hi folks,
I just recently made the upgrade to OSX 10.7.2 so far FC Studio has been handling it just fine. I have however noticed one thing and I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.
While I obviously do most of my work and sorting through footage within FCP, I have enjoyed the ability to preview clips from my finder window in Leopard and Snow Leopard... I use it most often when I need to scan through raw footage to find a specific take that I want to reference in conversation with an editing partner, or when I'm double checking that I've got the correct raw footage for the correct project in the correct Capture Scratch folder.
It would seem that since I installed Lion footage that was ingested from a p2 card, or from a Cannon DSLR will no longer play from the finder window. I can open that same clip in Quicktime Player and there's no problem, or I can of course veiwe it in FCP... but if I want to take a quick look in the finder there's no dice.
Other video files that have gone through a pass in Compressor, or even the raw, non-ingested footage from those same sources will preview from teh finder just fine.
Has anyone else noticed this? And if so, is there a fix for it?
Thanks so much,
avi
(FYI, I'm on a 27 inch iMac 2.8 i7, 4 gigs ram, running FCP 7.0.3)

You can drag a file or folder into to Finder's tool bar for quick access -for instance, something that is located several layers deep in the file system but often used. It works in the same way as an Alias.
Here's one I just made:
If you delete the original, the ? appears because the link to it is broken:
You can drag the ? out by holding the command key.
The Dock will behave in the same way if you choose the "Keep in Dock" option, then delete the original.
To your QuickLook issue, I'm officially baffled. It might be a good idea to post on the OS X specific discussions forums here with a link to this thread. Reinstalling is something that really should be the very last resort.
ETA; I just posted for more assistance in the special Lounge area of the forums.

Footage will not import to iMovie

Hi,
I have iMovie and I just purchased some stock footage online.
The footage will not import into iMovie. It is in Quicktime format, and I tried to save it in ".mov" format, but it will not import that way either.
I called the stock footage company and they said their footage works with iMovie, and to ask Mac for help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

iMovie will not import any QuickTime file. It will only import files it can edit. MPEG1 is not a codec that iMovie can edit, so it will not import.
Fortunately, there is a free App called MPEG Streamclip which will easily convert your clip to a format that iMovie can use.
First download and install MPEG Streamclip. It is available here.
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Now, drag your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Hit the play button to make sure it plays.
In MPEG Streamclip use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME...
For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec.
Then click MAKE MOVIE
You may want to deinterlace the footage of the resulting file does not look good. This can also be done in MPEG Streamclip. Let me know if you need help with that.
In iMovie, you can import the resulting file by using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
The MPEG Streamclip process should create a new file. Your original MPEG1 file should still be intact. Just be sure that you do not give them both the same name.

My recorded footage without sound will not play, but will when recorded with sound, any ideas?

Hi there community!
I have recorded alot of footage on a digital Harinezumi 3 camera and have run into a problem in post production.
Some of the footage is recorded with sound, and plays fine. However, with most of the footage, i chose to turn the recording of sound off. These files without sound will not play in any player, even when Perian is installed.
These are the specs of the video I have been able to find out.
File type: .AVI
Video Stream: JPEG
This is all I can find out, so I am thinking it is an M-JPEG file rendered as an AVI file. VLC player says it can not play the video or audio format 'undf', whatever that means. Another player says it needs a .moov encoder, but I do not see how this is possible. I have also tried attaching audio to it via Logic 9 with no success.
I am at a loss, and I really need this footage for a project. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!!

It won't let me post the video in the forum, so here is a link to it in dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4nz8mg18p4thzd/Mountain%203.AVI?n=145237283
Accessed the file at dropbox. Played the DropBox "display" file in scripted player, played the same resource file using the Safari plug-in, and then downloaded the resource file using the QT 7 Pro "Open URL" option only to learn that this file was an H.264 transcode and not your original file. Used the DropBox download option to download the original Motion JPEG file in AVI file container. File plays as is in both QT X v10.2 and QT 7 v7.6.6 players under Mountain Lion v10.8.4 on my system.
Motion JPEG is one of the "lagacy" codec components turned off under Lion and which remains turned off under Mountain Lion. However, as I understand it, Motion JPEG files are supposed to be passively supported (playback supported) under these systems but requires the codec to be turned back on if you wish to export files using this codec. I turned both Motion JPEG and Motion PNG codecs back on quite a while back and have Perian installed which, as you can see, supplied the OpenDML version of the Motion JPEG codec component to actually play your file on my system. Unfortunately, since QT uses a LIFO codec component list generation strategy, I would have to remove Perian to test whether or not the system configured Motion JPEG component would then become the active decoder. (Did this a year or two ago but not willing to do so again at this time.)
Suffice it to say, the file should play in QT on your Mountain Lion system assuming the correct version of Perian is installed, it is actually active, and you have no conflicting software or hardware installed on your system. Have posted an MOV file containing your Motion JPEG video data in case you want to see if it will play correctly on your system.

After Effects CS5.5 will not open a Dynamically Linked Premiere Pro sequence in the comp. window

Hi all,
I'm trying to export a Premiere Pro sequence which is in 2K and the footage has been shot as RED 5K. Adobe Media Encoder will simply not work as I am having the quite widely discussed issue where it will just 'hang' at certain points and not complete the export.
The most popular solution to this problem is to export via the Render Queue in After Effects instead. However, therein lies the problem.
I go onto After Effects. Choose File -> Dynamic Link -> Import Premiere Pro Sequence.
The box pops up, I choose the Premiere Pro Project File then select the sequence I want to export. It then appears in the After Effects project panel window like so:
However - when I try and drag this to a new composition window, one of two things have happened. Either A) nothing happens (literally, NOTHING changes) or B) as the following example shows, it seems to add it to a new composition, but the video is entirely black. I have tried rendering it and it just produces a black video.
The other thing people seem to suggest is to just import the entire Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects. I've tried this, but any titles I have added in PP force the video to fade out then back in, in the place where the title should be?? So I can't export the video this way either.
My system is as follows:
Thanks massively in advance for any help that is provided!

This is months old but I'm now having the same problem with AE and Premiere CS6 after updating last night: Dynamic linked sequence shows up in the project window in AE and even plays video if previewed, but will not drag or alt-drag into any comps, including a new comp (makes a new comp with matching settings, but empty).
Furthermore, I do actually have an earlier version of the same sequence placed in one of my AE comps, which I think was done using the same steps just prior to updating the apps last night. Did this break?
I'm a little concerned since the biggest reason I'm trying to use premiere is to eliminate the exports when adding graphics in AE.

Final Cut is Crashing--Will not Open

OK, I have repaired permissions, trashed preferences, unloaded all the audio plugins (mostly because they take forever when FCP opens), and finally reinstalled FCP Studio 2.
The only thing on my startup disk is OSX SL and programs. I always work off external drives. I have had this setup for some time now - since SL came out and all of a sudden FCP will not open, and I get the following Crash report. All other FCP Studio2 apps open.
I also have a recent install of Logic Studio, but FCP was working after this for a few weeks.
I have also seen this post that refers to illegal copies of FCP.
"Yes the answer is simple. The new prokit update recommended for users of FCP will DISABLE any version of FCP that might have come from a less-than-legitimate source if you know what I mean. very clever.
I got a new copy of FCP 6 and it installed and works perfectly but I won't be downloading any more apple updates unless I'm positive they don't contain any more "fixes" like this."
I have used FCP since version 1.x and have dutifully upgraded, except for the latest FCP Studio 3 upgrade. Listen, I need to use this program

Shane,
Thanks!! I am aware of that software, after today. I will look into it. Is it through the FCS Maintenance Pack that I will have the ability to disable the offending plugin?
That is a bummer that it is that plugin as I wind up using that a lot for footage that is submitted by certain "monkeys" to the projects I work on. I actually call it the "Monkey Cam" filter.
In any case, I appreciate your help here. I removed the plugin from its folder and tries to open FCP and ...it crashed again. So it might be another plugin?
There was a lot more to the crash results, as I have a lot of plugins, but the board would not let me post such a long post. Would you be open to me adding this and running that too? I am not sure I want to drop the $130 or so on FCS Maintenance, and am kind of tossing around upgrading to FCS3 instead - in hopes that will fix the issue?
Let me know and I will post the remaining code. Mahalo.

My audio files no longer sync to the in the 5d in camera audio. It did when I bought the program but no longer does I reinstalled and it still will not sync the files recorded on the H4N with the Canon 5D Mark Ii

The program used to import and transcode the Can 5D footage but no longer does. The program freezes often and looses my projects as well. Hard to make a living when your editing program is on strike!

DVCpro 50 Deck shows up but will not capture

I can (finally) see the deck (SD93p) in my capture window and watch the footage, but it will not actually let me capture, it continues to have a "general error". I'm using FCP 5 and have the set everything up for DVCpro 50 (24p) Anamorphic, but something's missing. Can anyone help?

Your deck may not be showing you what code is on the tape. Is it set to display timecode?
The code you see in the top of the Capture Window what's coming from the tape. Changing that number will not do anything. If you want to enter an in, do it using the I key while the tape is playing or enter the code you want in the bottom left window of the capture screen.
If you are trying to use Capture Now, you must let the tape run until the TC is rolling before you press Now.
Better still, try logging a test clip to see if that works.
Play the tape, let it roll for 10 seconds then press the I key. Let the tape roll for another 10 seconds then press the O key. You have now marked an in and out.
Next press the F2 key (or press "Log clip" in the capture window) and a dialogue box will appear, name the clip and hit enter. You have now logged a clip.
Next, select the clip that you just logged, it will be the one in your browser with a red line through it. and choose Batch in the capture window. Does that work? If not, what error message do you get?
Another thing to make sure is that the tape you are trying to capture was recorded DVCPRO 50 since that is how you set up your capture preset. If it was recorded DV then you won't be able to capture till you change the preset.

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...

I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

My sequence will not show up in Color 1.5.3 when sent from FCP 7

I cannot get clips from FCP 7 to show up when sent to Color. I had been able to get this to work perfectly fine earlier, but now for some reason, when sending a sequence from FCP to Color, Color doesn't automatically create a new project with the sequence in it. I've Googled for answers as much as I can, but cannot figure out what's going wrong.
By the way, the footage is from a Canon 7D, imported into FCP from PluralEyes 8.
EDIT: I've tried to manually export the XML from Final Cut into Color. Color will not even recognize the exported XML file. I've done what others have suggested online and deleted my Color & FCP preferences files out of my User/Library. I've created new FCP projects and tried to send to color from a new project. None of these have helped at all.

I just had this exact same problem. Clips from my FCP 7 sequence would not show up when I sent them to Color 1.5. No way. No how.
I solved my problem (at least for now) by simply restarting my machine. I realized that it had been running for days, and it probably just needed a reboot. Try it. It might work.
And yes, I'm running Mountain Lion, too. 10.8.2.
Good luck! ----Todd Ruel

FCE not capturing footage

I am using FCE 3.5.1 on a G5 Dual Processor using OX 10.4.10. I can not capture video to FCE from my two Sony DV cameras. FX1 and TRV 22. This just started after years of no problems. I have pulled preferences and reinstalled FCE several times. But the problem continues.
I can operate the camera, but it acts as though there is no time code on the tape. The time code on the tape is fine as I have captured this footage on other systems.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried the Quicktime Receipts removal, but did not solve the problem. Only had one Quicktime pkg listed. It did have numbers. While I was there I pulled the FCE HS pkgs as well with numbers.
FCE HD does recogizine the cameras and will control it from Capture, but does not capture footage correctly. With clips it pays no attention to cues in and out. In "now" it will freeze the picture while continuing to record the sound.

Will not ingest footage.
