I recently upgraded to fcp6. several of my clips are not in synch. I'm working in a 23.98 timeline and the clips in question are 23.98 clips as well. when I play the quicktime file they are fine, but in FCP they are not. Looks like the clips start off in synch then lose it... badly.

I have a 23.98 project with 24pa footage. there are a couple of clips where the dp shot it in i guess regular 24p framerate. i recently upgraded to FCP 6 and the footage will not play properly in my sequence. when I had FCP 5.1.2 i would be able to see the footage and it would just give me a...

Title says it all... I have mini dv tapes but I don't know if i use the easy setup 1080i60 or 1080i50. Is there a way to know? THe producer didn't tell me. I have fcp 6.0.

Does anyone know how many computers you can intall the FCP-6 upgrade on?

My soundmixer just gave me an AIF stereo file and told me to pan track 1 to the left and track 2 to the right. When I put the clip onto my timeline and try to clik on one channel to pan, it automatically selects both channels. How to I unlink them??? thanks.

I'm cutting a feature and have captured about 35 tapes. All tapes were suposed to be captured. They are now in a lock box. I suspect I'm missing some footage which i think is on tape #003 because the timecode stops at 55:00 and it's in the middle of take... Is there a way to find /search all of...

i have to output a piece of video for an online London Gallery. They want it in either of the following formats: .mpeg .vob .wmv .m2v. I recently gave them an MPEG-4 and it wouldn't play correctly on the website. Now they tell me they need it in MPEG1 format including sound in MP3 or acc format...

Whenever I export my timeline i'm having these strange horizontal lines on my transition effects such as "push slides" and when i scale the image/zoom in or out. This is a 23.98 timeline, I've experimented with settings - these are the ones i'm trying to use: Export settings >Quicktime...

Does anyone know how to use an MP3 purchased from the iTunes store?? Normally I will just convert the MP3 to an AIFF in iTunes then bring in into Final Cut. Or render the MP3 in Final Cut. Nowadays if you purchase a song from iTunes Final Cut will not read the damn file. ugh??? Anybody know...

I just bought this new Wester Digital "M Book" drive 1000 gb, triple interface drive and it is REALLY LOUD! The internal fan is on more than half the time the drive is on. I've moved it around cause I thought it was overheating but the fan blows wherever I move it - and it comes on like 5...

I have handed over a project to another editor and she keeps trying to open the project file and it is giving her the following message: General Error (41) and can't find the translation application or document. We both have final cut 5.0 - i have 5.1.2, not sure what she has. I save the...

I keep hitting some key – not sure which one or what I’m doing… but now whenever I bring a clip (with 2 audio tracks) into my source window (on the left) my timeline is only recognizing/giving me the option of inserting ONE audio track onto the timeline. Ugh. How do I get the other track back...

I just had 2 LaCie 320 gig drives crash within a week of each other!! I've had them for about 2 years. Is this normal?? Am i doing something wrong?? Perhaps they were to close to each other. I have 5 and they stand upright all about 2 inches from each other. I've recently been...

I'm working on a film where the dp shot 95% of the footage in 24PA and 5% in 24P - and forgot to click the advanced button. I've already captured all of the footage but I need to fix the 24P non-advanced footage for the final edit - it is not in-synch and looks awful - horizontal lines when...
