Had something really strange this weekend which stumped me!! I'm more of an FCP 7 person so really not sure where i'm at with this, plus my experience with X is limited.
I captured a Pro Res 422 HQ using one of those Decklink UltraStudio Express box's via SDI, on importing to FCP (10.0.7) In FCP i can scrub the file in the bin, set in and out point and Shift E to the time line. However if i try to click on the clip in the bin i just get the wheel of death and end up having to do a force quit!! Once i've got it onto the X timeline (using shift E) i can export it (in my case as a MOV) which will play, but if i try to play it on the timeline i just get the wheel again.
This isn't my computer and i'm only working on it, it's in an OB van and is a Mac Mini 2.6GHz core i7 with 16GB ram, so not what you'd call slow!! was fine up until a few weeks ago and then started doing this. Are there any known updates that are causing problems?
Any help would be great
Dominic

Re: Final cut X with wheel of death!!!
Dominic reading your post, I think you are bringing the movie file in the wrong format into FCP-X. Not certain. I have Steve Martin tutorials latest version on my computer. If you like to come into iChat you can view them on your computer. He covers does thought of problems.
You may not remember but you helped me in the past with a major problem in FCP7. I use FCP-X and it is fine to use. I think FCP-X is very native regards what you bring in. I also use 7toX for Final Cut Pro.
Send me a private message if your problem is urgent.

Was this problem solved . . . ? It's good to see the results of positive endings within the forums - in fact I personally think that's what they're for!

Ron, never had a feed back on this matter. I may not be the smartest guy on the forum. But willing to help as I get valuable information on this forum.
