Hello: After trying hard to import 4k files from my Sony Fx9 into FCPX, all manner of weirdness ensued. Then I finally came to the conclusion files must be converted (Sony Catalyst Browse). I used to do this with my old FCP7 program, but just assumed the X would work. Am I correct in assuming that this is the only option? (other than the other…

Hi Patrick: Thank you for the awesomely quick response. Issue solved when I started looking at other files. Somehow, the monitor setting got tweaked (embarrassing, I know). I think this happened, for some reason, on a re-start. ‘Looks back to normal now. But thanks again – I’m always amazed at folks’ generosity of knowledge. Take care! 😉

Hello: I had quit my FCP project, then re-opened it. Now, the picture on the timeline is all washed out, looking overexposed. The meters are right on, and the minor tweaks I made to color and exposure were no longer implemented in the timeline. And again, that timeline looks all washed out. All this, after doing a bit of work with the…

Thank you both for the good advice. I’m still working on that particular part (although I went on to other tasks, hoping I’d hear from ya’ll in the meantime). I will give both a try. ‘Again – ‘much appreciated. Truly, rb

Dumb question: I have an interview, and over part of it I placed a photo. Then I decided to pull out the photo and place it elsewhere in the timeline. How do I re-stretch that interview video to cover the gap that was made by the photo. Each time I try it, it pulls everything later in the timeline out of sync. I know this must be FCP 101, but…

Hi Chris:

Sorry for the late response. Now – I barely remember the issue… but I think it had to do with lack of hard drive space. As I recall now, I think I dumped a bunch of stuff and it started working again. BTW – I was simply compressing to a QTmovie, which I was later going to compress to an MP4. Thanks for checking in… gotta go take a…

I’m in a similar boat. ‘Have a MacBook Pro (2011), High Sierra. ‘Won’t do FCP 6.06 (which I use on my iMac) and won’t use DaVinci Resolve (I sent DaVinci a system profile and they said “no go”). So now I’ve got my nice little (old) MacBook Pro with no editing capabilities. 🙁 .

‘2 editing projects in the pipeline… so maybe I’ll do something…

OK – yes, I am still using Final Cut 6.06. I also drive an Edsel, so you’ll understand.

Anyhow – a new weird problem… I’ve been working on 3 corporate projects for 2 months, and now as I go to EXPORT QUICKTIME MOVIE, it stops after a few minutes and says “Codec Not Found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware…

I downloaded Shutter Encoder, and it works great. I am shocked and excited!

Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for a follow-up response from PavTube HD convertor. They took my money for the 2nd download, which doesn’t work. I’m guessing they simply don’t have support anymore, but are still happy to take purchases for the old product.… Read more

Thanks Michael! I will check that out. Didn’t even know about it.

‘Much appreciated.

Hello:

My PavTube HD convertor quit, after upgrading my imac to El Capitan ( I regret the upgrad).
I re-purchased the program and downloaded, but it still doesn’t work. Pavtube took a very long time to get back to me, saying “it should work”. (thanks for the help Pavtube ;( !
Anyhow – still trying to get some answer / refund from them. In… Read more
