SmoothCam Unanalyzed
I’m trying to apply the SmoothCam filter to a clip, but it won’t begin to analyze the media. I’ve read through the FCP manual and what little it offered with troubleshooting. My media clip just says “Unanalyzed”. Any help would be great!

Smoothcam tries to analyse the whole clip so if it is a huge file, it will take forever.
In FCP vers 7 it is supposed to have fixed that but even so, try making a quicktime of just the material you want to apply smoothcam to and put that in your timeline above the original and apply smoothcam to the new short clip.

It’s a short clip (small file). I’m getting no analysing what so ever.

sometimes it needs to start something rendering to kick in. Apply a filter to another clip (or that clip) and hit render. hopefully that will jump start it. while I have seen this work it was normally need only after I stopped the analyzing first.

What kind of file?

quicktime .mov file

That could mean anything. Just because it’s a chevy doesn’t make it a pickup.
What codec?

[Jared Eaton] “quicktime .mov file”
That tells us nothing. What codec? what frame rate? What raster size? You know, some actual information for the people trying to help you.

Much better smooth cam in there.. add a motion tracking behaviour (stabilise) and change the mode to zoom. highlight scale, rotation and the third option (i forget) and this will all the program to give you a much better result.
save, go back to fcp.. simples!
plus it gets one into roundtripping and using the whole suite with all the lovely features it offers
