This is very strange. When I upgraded my MacBook Pro 13″ to Lion from Snow Leopard, I lost the use of FCP 7. For regrettable reasons–trying to use Ustream for a live streaming event–I upgraded to Mavericks and lo and behold, FCP 7 came alive again. I haven’t tried to use FCP yet on this computer since I have it on another computer, and I’m still trying to figure out UStream. However now when I stream on Ustream, even though I indicate “record to Ustream,” FCP somehow automatically records my streams as Mp4s to the desk top! I am wondering if the recording actually is coming from QuickTime even though the file says FCP doc. I don’t know where to go with this because it is all so inexplicable. Any insights would be appreciated.

I finally found the answer to my problem. Thank you!

I too have the same question. It’s a year later than the last post, and I’m hoping someone can tackle this problem of making subclips into separate clips and NOT sequences.

February 28, 2011 at 4:32 pm in reply to: “File: Access Denied” error when I try to render

After trying to edit an mp4 in FCP 6 (Mac OS 10.5.8–Mac desktop Quadcore)–I know it’s a no-no– nothing rendered and I got “File error: access denied.” I did a work around by exporting a sequence and bringing it back as .mov file into the project and edited it just fine. Went after another file and brought it back into the project and it needed rendering. Which was not to be.

I got rid of that project,emptied trash, went back to the one I was working on earlier and still the same problem in rendering. I have been working with this older project for weeks, its a DV project and I have made no major changes on my drives or computer, and have had no problems with it. (Or with FCP in general!)
I have verified and changed back and forth the permissions, trashed preferences, tried all the obvious tricks with rendering, tried starting new projects, changed my scratch disks, emptied render manager, threw away some render files,(except for some that say “constant frames”–haven’t explored that yet). Still the same error box!

My project is on my desk top, my capture scratch is a laCie 1.5 T drive. One odd thing, there seems to be no permissions on the LaCie drive to be repaired when I go into “disk utility” and deep into my Mac Hard drive when I was trying to repair permissions there were a few obscure permissions that said “could not be repaired.” I am at a loss and trying to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling FCP 6.
Desperate for some guidance and would appreciate any suggestions!
