I have discovered the reason why some Cine files will open, and others will not, in Final Cut Pro.

It turns out that there is a set of "Extended" permissions that are added to a Cine file by the PC or the Mac. Sometimes these permissions get corrupt or set incorrectly, causing Final Cut Pro to not open the files.

To strip these permissions, open a Terminal, and find the directory with your files.
Then run the following command:

xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo <your cine file name>

This will remove the extended permissions.

Would it be xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfof*.cine whereby the * is recursive?

I noticed that I cannot change a single file when I put a space between the command and the file name:

xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo f24.cine


Is that correct?

Many thanks.

Some knowledge of Unix is required for this fix.
While I can't provide a course in learning unix, here are a few tips.

- change the directory, so that you are in the same directory before issuing the 'xattr' command. (You do this with the "cd" command, first)

- the '*' is a wildcard. So by using "*.cine" you would be asking for all of the files with a ".cine" extenson.

Thank you.

I do have pretty good tourist unix chops and can drive via cd ../ and check listings via ls -al


I can drive right to the directory where the CINE files reside and then issue your command on a single file.

Just trying to remember the way to do it recursively.

this command is only available under MacOSX 10.5.

Attached is a similar tool for MacOSX 10.4. The command to delete the extended attributes using this tool is:

xattr --delete com.apple.FinderInfo *.cine

Sorry.

We have posted the necessary fix, in the messages above. You need to have some unix knowledge in order to perform the fix so that Final Cut Pro will work.

Until Apple provides a fix for Final Cut Pro, you need to do these steps.

If there is a bug or defect with our software, we will certainly fix it free of charge. But the price of the software doesn't include free unix training.

I would suggest doing a Google search for some Howto's or Guides on using the unix shell. The basics are pretty simple. With a bit of reading, you should be able to learn enough to run the commands provided.
