Has anyone experienced Color Finale Pro being in an unusable state after the latest update in combination with FCP 10.6.10? Over here, nothing seems to be working: masks don't show up, selecting a range of colours doesn't work, isolation masks don't work. I have had some success after restarting FCP sometimes but still, not all functions are available. I will contact their support too but in my experience, every time I have contacted them, their approach is to blame Apple and Final Cut Pro (which might be the case) and I've never gotten anywhere.  Granted, Color Finale has always been ..read more

This ever happen to anyone else? I drag files to an event in FCP and it takes a while before progress is actually made. It stays at 0% for a while and eventually it starts moving. Sometimes I can goad it into starting by hitting the pause and play buttons that are to the right of the bars. It's not like the drive it's importing from is busy with something else, I can find no reason for it.  This seems to happen randomly and it's been doing this forever, over multiple revisions of FCP, multiple OSes, and multiple computers. It's just part of the FCP experience but I've never seen anyone el ..read more

How do I duplicate drop zones? I'm using a slideshow template from Motion Array that has 12 drop zones in the inspector on the right. I want to add additional images but I don't want the same 12 images to repeat. If I extend the timeline it is still only using the original 12 images. How do I extend the template to use more than 12 images ..read more

hello I know my title is not clear at all, but the explanation should be. I'm creating a little title with a white-colored text, which background is a black rectangle. This rectangle appears sooner than the text, and with a growing length (or width) from left to right. This length has to fit the length of the text, which changes each time I will be including this title onto various rushes. Once the rectangle has reached the specific length, text fades in. Ok ? Onset for this rectangle is at frame 10, width 0 and shall grow to a set width at frame 40 (30 frames duration for this rectangle to ..read more

Have googled, but can't find the right words. At least I can't find any examples. My idea is that the person comes running towards the camera, and as they disappear he will run through the wall (TV) and to the audience.  What is this effect called ..read more

Hi there, Can anyone give me advice on rate conform in FCPX? I have a 25fps timeline but can't turn it off. My video files are 25fps, so it doesn't need the process. Can't seem to turn it off, as it's trying to conform to 24fps, which I don't want. Best, Dean ..read more

I have a 5 hour Multicam clip in a timeline. It has been mixed and as such has about a 1000 cuts. For organisational purposes I would like to nest this sequence into compound clips within the timeline. It currently has chapter markers and I want to have a compound clip for each chapter. Am I in for any ugly surprises ..read more
