My guess is that since you are using an Elura50 that you may have had it set to some “a-typical” settings when the footage was shot. FCPX must have the codec for your settings cause it plays back, but it sounds like quicktime doesn’t… have you performed a software update for quicktime recently? If you can find the proapps QuickTime codecs update, that might allow for quicktime playback.
Another option, since you may have shot your footage with settings that might trip up many systems… you could export quicktime movies of your footage from fcpx. That way, moving forward, your archived footage should be fine for playback and importing to future NLE’s.
Sorry I couldn’t be or more help! Good luck.-Fred Waycoot

Hi James, are the specs you listed what you were expecting? (meaning, is the footage you were capturing supposed to be DV, 32khz, etc?)
Are you capturing from a camera, or deck… and what type? What are the specs of your mac? Maybe I can figure this out…-Fred Waycoot

“Not everything was perfect. We use 2 monitors, and during testing earlier today the program froze while video was fullscreen in monitor 2.”
Jon, are you still UNABLE to work on a 2nd monitor? Or did you get this working after all? I’m thinking of getting a 2nd display but I want to know if that is working for folks or not. What are the specs of your computer? Thanks!

Uggg. I spose you could back up your events to whichever drive is most reliable… even though that’s not the best answer.
Just curious, Casey and Rabbe, how are your drives formatted? Are they exfat? Or RAD volumes? Are you also using these drives for time machine?
Have you reached out to apple, sometimes they have answers for these type of problems.-Fred Waycoot

I experienced something similar when cutting a short yesterday, but I figured it was cause I was working on my laptop and had a bunch of other apps running.
Are you using proress? what kind of machine are you on?-Fred Waycoot

Hey Ed-
If you want the dissolve to START (or end) at the edit point this is what i’ve been doin…
1. Add Clip A to the primary storyline.
2. at the edit point Connect Clip B (so it’s on top of Clip A) and extend Clip A a little ways underneath, enough for the length of your dissolve.
3. then click in the upper left of Clip B and choose “show video animation”
4. double click on the “compositing opacity” tab
5. adjust the little fade handle thingys or use option-click to add keyframeshope that helps,
Fred
