Major effect issues (after installing XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in)

Hi all,

I encounter major issues with applying effects and titles in FCPX (10.0.8).

Already in preview (skimming) I get black screens and when I apply effects, they don't show or give a black or distorted picture. Also older projects are effected. For example; where I used 'cold aura' effects on some clips, they are all distorted now. In the event library aswell, some clips are black. When skimmed they show up and when the mouse pointer is gone, the clip is black again.

I have this issues since I updated protools, FCPX and installed the XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in by Sony (PDZK-LT2)

Anyone else have these problems? I'm really Looking for a solution, as I have to deliver to clients this week...

Kind regards,

Olafski

Try removing the plugin from the Library/Application Support/Pro Apps folder.

Thnx for your reply, Tom.

Looked in the wrong folder...

Yes you do. Make sure you're looking in the right library. Not home/library.

Move the whole folder to the trash. There may be other elements upstream of that. Are you working in XDCAM?

Not sure about that. You may only need the plugin to import and then can remove it. My XDCAM footage plays OK without it.

My friend adviced me an easy way to solve this problem .He suggest me another solution, it is not so difficult, and even in FCP 7, you can easily edit the XAVC files. XAVC Converter for Mac is a good tool to solve this issue, you can have a try. Refer the guide for convert XAVC to FCP, hope it helpful to you.
