FCPX Choking On .PNG?
I made a .png of my logo in illustrator with the 1920×1080 preset and exported it as a png. Brought it in to its own event in final cut and I’m just trying to make a little fade in logo bumper clip with it.
I put a fade in blur transition on the beginning and a little ken burns effect on it and the computer is in the most load I’ve ever seen it under. You’d think i was rendering out a feature length Pixar film or something!
Anyone have an answer to this? I can’t even use the app. Its just rendering forever, completely choking on this simple image file with a couple basic effects on it. Cant even preview it or anything.

I tried a tiff as well. No go. Something like an hour to render out a 10 second clip on a new quad core MacBook Pro.
I did think up a little work around though. Drop the still in to the timeline and then drag it out to the desired length. Export that clip as ProRes and reimport it to your project. Everything works smooth as butter on it!
You would think it could take a single still picture and make it look a lot easier than a high res video file…strangeness…

Is it 8-bit RGB?
All the best,

Yes. For some reason, even though i made the image with a 1920×1080 HD Video preset, its being output to something ike 8000×4500….i have no idea why?
All I’m doing is going to export and selecting png or tiff…

Make sure you export at SCREEN or 72 dpi form Illustrator.
Sounds like you exported at 300 dpi, which will increase the 1920×1080 resolution to compensate.Brian Mulligan

Look liked you exported a PNG from illustrator at 300 dpi. That would give you 7398×4517 image, which is causing the trouble. You want to export at 72dpi from the 1080 present in Illustrator.
See here:
BTW. FCP X works just dandy with PNG or PSD files.

Tom,
Just did some tests. 8-bit and 16-bit RGB and CMYK PSD files come in just fine into FCP X.
