Solid white in Viewer
I am using FCP 3 and when my clips are put into the viewer I can not see them until I click on play. Before that the viewer is solid white. When I click play again to stop the clip, the viewer turns to solid white again. If I try to scrub the clip all I can see is a black x at the top right hand side with the background solid white. What the heck happened?
Thank you Gary Walter |

Every once in a while I bring footage into FCP or Motion and it really just doesn't like it - and I solve it w/ a quick export from Quicktime to the format I really need it in, then the "strange things" tend to go away... |
X might mark the spot
But before you start converting all your footage, check the manual for what the black X might be referring to...that'll probably tell you everything you need to pick a solution (that might be what I mentioned above)...you would want to test a conversion on one small piece first...

When video clip is put directly into timeline evrything seems fine and is viewable in canvas. The issue is only with the viewer.

Thanks for your quick replies Jeffry
I had tried changing the size in viewer also with no luck. I also opened up a project that worked fine a few weeks ago and the clips do not show in the viewer now as they had in the past. I am going to capture a new clip and see if anything different happens. |

Just stumbled onto the solution. For some odd reason the viewer was set to Alpha instead of RGB. No idea how that happened. I think I will go and get an ice cold brew and relax for a while just as soon as I put the hammer away. Thank you Gary Walter |
Alphas & Wireframes, those guys all think they're swell...
