I'm shooting with a sony a1 raw output to a atamos ninja v+ set to prores raw. when i import the clips to fcpx they appear black unless i hover over them and when i drag a clip into the editing timeline it keeps looping render and when i try to play it, it's just black. when i export the clip to rec709 it gives me an error message and wont export.
Mac Pro (2019)
This has been happening since December and is an FCP 10.7 bug which has not been fixed. It does not relate to the OS directly. It happens on Sonoma and Ventura (Tom reported this) but is mainly reported for Sonoma primarily I presume because those who tend to update FCP also tend to update the OS.
It is a complex bug. It is only observed on some computers and not others so some Intel Macs and M1 Mac Minis seem to be the main ones affected. It affects some ProRes Raw files and not others even from the same camera. It relates to frame size and not frame rate so, for example, 4.1K ProRes Raw files from the Nikon Z8 and Z9 are affected regardless of frame rate but not 5.3K ProRes Raw files from the same cameras.
It will take an FCP update to fix. I think it is pointless to try to go back to an earlier version of the OS. The only fix for affected computers is to install FCP 6.x. There are workarounds such as using Compressor to transcode to ProRes.
imac pro 2017. latest pcf version 10.. i just deleted it and reinstalled and cleared all the settings.
i saw that but it wasn't solved.
yes but the option is grayed out for both import and export xml
Yes I can just click on the video and QuickTime Player will play it fine.
ok i exported to the older version and same problem. i'm going to upload a sample clip via wetransfer.....
The ProRes raw sample clip plays fine in FCP 10.6.5 on an Intel iMac.
I don't see a way for me to be able to roll it back to that version.
Same problem in Ventura.
Thank you Clint. That might be helpful.
just reinstalled and still no luck. The new mac version is sonoma 14.3. i have a 3ghz 10 core intel xeon w with 64 gb memory.
Which MacBook Air? There were two in 2020 an Intel and an M1.
I have the M1
Dear Alicia. I meant no disrespect. I simply stated two of the samples do not work on my computer and two samples do work.
I think the problem is in Ventura on Intel as well. Seems 10.7 wants a faster processor to decode done PRRAW files.
FCPX not working with prores raw
