Final Cut Studio :: Why Can't Save The Folder Locations Set For Render Files

Aug 22, 2014

I wrongly assumed that when you go to system settings to select the scratch disks (root folder where all the audio and video render folders and files go, capture files, etc.) that Final Cut would save the folder locations within the FC project you are working in. Makes total sense, but for reasons I don't understand, FC does NOT save these folder locations and the result is that I have render files scattered all over the place on my hard drive and it is quite a mess! Fortunately, the project file remembers where it put the render files, so as long as you don't remove or rename any project folders, everything shows up rendered on the time line as it should. The problem is, if I'm working on several projects at once, I have to reset the scratch disks every time I reopen a project, otherwise the program will save it to the last scratch location selected and put all of the render files in another project's folder. I often forget to reset the scratch disks when I'm busy and now I have render files mixed up in various project folders.  

Why can't you just set the scratch disks one time when you first set up the project and have the project always remember that location, instead of always having to reset them every time you reopen a project. I love Final Cut, but this is a product defect that should be addressed and corrected. If the project file can remember where it is putting all the render files, it should also be capable of remembering the scratch disk locations you originally selected when you first set up the project or better yet, save it to the project's root folder by default.

Final Cut Studio :: Cannot Get Filters To Render In Clip

Jun 4, 2014

I am running Final Cut Pro 7 and I have a clip that already has RGB Balance filter and Key filter on it. I am adding Brightness Contrast or any of the other Gamma Correction type filters to the clip, It lets me adjust the filter but when I render it this filter is not included in the render. I have done some experimenting and it seems that the RGB balance is what is stopping this filter from being applied.

I have tried with all the possible filters that will let me adjust the levels on the image, I have tried taking the clip with the first two filters and nesting it then applying the new filter to the nested clip but nothing seems to work. This clip is too dark...

Applications :: Cannot Save Or Render In Final Cut General Error Message With No Number

Sep 27, 2009

I just opened a FC project in 6.0 from an XML file for the first time. The project originally came from 6.0.6 and I was happy to see that this kind of reversion was actually possible. Unfortunatly after doing a little work I started getting "general error" messages whenever I tried to save the project or render any transitions.

If I remeber correctly, I opened the XML and was asked to save a new project. I saved the project and started working. I dont remeber if any saves or rendering had worked in the new project before I got the error messages. Maybe none of them worked, I am not sure.

Final Cut Pro X :: How To Delete Render Files

So every time I got to edit my movie in FCP i lose 3 GBS of space... I have multiple render files for my project. Do i only need one? Can I delete all of them and create a render file after that so I only have one. Does it auto create render files? Does it delete stuff in the project if you delete it?

Final Cut Pro X :: 10.1.2 - Media Management -> Render Files

Aug 20, 2014

Running FCP X 10.1.2 ... I wanted to verify a few things with the community about media mgmt that the white paper really doesn't explain to well. My archiving procedure is as follows: 

I import media to an Event to offload footage from camera/card. I then close FCP X, open the finder and open the library and "show package contents" and then pick the original media folder. I then copy that folder to another offsite drive I have dated by year -> folder. 

Example: 2014 - Footage from Colorado.  (I do this to always store my original media outside any project I'm working on for future reference. This is ok, correct? Is there a better way?) 

Second, I learned the other day that if I want to archive/backup libraries or even clean up the library,it is good practice to remove all rendered/transcoded media files. It is pretty simple from the "file" menu to do this. Question, if I just removed the rendered media, how long does it take again before FCP X background tasks starts working / rendering media again? Do I stop this somehow so I have time to backup the library? I thought this process was automated after a few seconds?

OS X Mavericks :: How To Edit Canon C300 MXF Files With Final Cut Pro 7 (Studio)

Jun 2, 2014

I recently shot some footage on a Canon C300 and would like to edit it on FCP 7, problem is it seems since my computer did the upgrade to mavericks I can no longer find the appropriate driver on the Canon site as Mavericks is not supported by Canon for this particular update. 

After researching I found that mxf files can be transcoded in log and capture but you need the appropriate driver installed. I have looked into third party applications but none of them seem entirely trust worthy and some cost money, which I don't believe I should pay considering I bought a legit copy of FCP at great expense and Apple seems to have forgotten all about it now FCX has been out for a while.

Applications :: Final Cut Pro Keeps Freezing When Try To Render?

Feb 18, 2010

Ok when I render at all it never EVER works. It has worked a couple times but recently I do everything people suggest and it doesn't work. I've converted both into the same format so it'll work, I've restarted final cut pro, I've restarted the computer, I've repaired disk permissions, i've done render all. All worked at certain points but for the rest it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

I've been working on some making some video clips that are ipod commericals (to eventually do the whole thing on imovie) but after 4-5 videos being finished, I work on the next one and right in the middle of rendering, it just freezes and doesn't do anything else, or when I try to just export it it does that, but before it works fine. I tried removing a couple extra effects I aded, and it still does it.

Final Cut Pro X :: Burn 1 Hour Movie - It Seems To Render But DVD Is Blank

Dec 2, 2014

When using Final Cut Pro X (iMac mid 2011 model-version 10.1.3) to burn 1 hour movie onto DVD, it seems to render but when computer says 'Sharing to DVD successful' and yet DVD is blank, what's my next move?

Software :: How To Clear Recent Save Locations?

Dec 14, 2010

I must have inadvertently saved a document to my backup drive once, because lately when I go to save a newly created doc, it sometimes (but not always?) saves to the folder on my backup drive instead of my hard drive. Since the folder names are identical, I can't tell which one I'm getting without using the 3-column display and following the path back, and I sometimes forget. It has proven disastrous more than once, because the file is then wiped out the next time my automatic backup kicks in. I urgently need to clear the recent save locations. How do I do that?

Final Cut Pro X :: Didn't Properly Set Storage Locations

Aug 31, 2014

Still new to FCP X protocol, I didn't properly set my Storage Locations ... and everything went to the hard drive on my laptop.  Realizing what I'd done I 'Modified My Settings, and then moved all the files to the drive I had the project 'Library' on, along with all the original 4K media ... placing the Proxy files in the appropriately named folders (to match exactly the original storage location names).  Whatever files FCP X moves automatically when you modify your settings - they moved over automatically.But when I go to relink my Proxy files ... nothing happens.  I locate the correct file, do a 'relink', and nothing happens. 

The only anomaly I see is that there were two Cache icons (one larger than the other, and one had a prefix number I think).  The larger one got moved automatically when I Modified My Settings ... and the prefix disappeared off the one Cache icon that remained.  I left it where it was. I trashed my preferences just in case.

Software :: Can't Save Files To Desktop - Cannot Change Contents Of Folder

Feb 25, 2009

I recently used Migration Assistant to move my desktop computer's files to my MacBook Pro. All is well, besides the fact that I now have three users on my MacBook Pro ; my original account, my transferred account, and a test account (but that's not the issue). I cannot save files to my desktop anymore, in the account that was migrated over from my desktop to my Macbook. I get an error that says the following: /Users/Desktop/(filename) could not be saved, because you do cannot change the contents of that folder. Change folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location.

Applications :: What Is In The Final Cut Studio 2 Box?

Nov 14, 2009

I have Final Cut Studio 2.0.1. Retail version. I got it with a 2nd hand MBP I bought recently, and I plan to sell FCS2. I have no need for it, iMovie is fine for me.

But I don't have the big fancy box or manuals included... what is meant to be in the box?

I do have...

- 9 installation CDs in the small black apple box.

- Final Cut Studio Software License agreement.

- 'Installing Your Software' documentation with serial numbers.

- Apple Software 'Proof of Purchase' coupons.

If anyone has FCS2 and can tell me what I'm missing, I can advertise it more effectively and truthfully!

Final Cut Studio :: How To Encode MXF To MOV

Aug 26, 2014

i was shooting an image film with a CANON XF100, and now i have a severe audio problem! All the data (imported via SD-Card to my Mac) was somehow corrupted. It sounded like "Trash", always cut-off or so. I tried to import it to FCP7, yet no success. Is XDCam going to work or any other method to encode MXF to MOV?  

how to encode the MXF-files to (uncompressed) MOV or MP4-files. If possible, without a 3rd party-software to purchase. i know some software too, yet Handbrake or VLC seems to fail, too. 

So, simply a way to either convert the MXF-data directly into a FCP7-proejct or maybe FCPX, OR simply to convert it to a MOV or MP4, whatever FinalCut can use and import...

Software :: Final Cut Studio 2 Academic?

Aug 11, 2008

I bought a copy of this on eBay and most of the CD's are not the latest versions. For example, I have Final Cut 5.1, SoundTrack 1.1, etc. The box shows the latest versions on the cover but the CD's say otherwise.

The seller said those are the version Apple shipped him in Sept 07. Is it possible that Apple included older versions of the software for the academic version or is he ripping me off?
