BCC Optical Stabilizer error in FCP

While using BCC Optical Stabilizer in Final Cut Pro you may get the following error:

To ensure optimum stabilization, please set your preview window to full resolution before analyzing.

When this message appears you are not able to analyze the clip.

There are two things you need to do.

1. Make sure your canvas window is set to 100%

2. In your sequence settings make sure your frame rate and resolution on the render tab are set to 100%(see image below).



There have also been some instances where the filter will not work if you apply it to a clip that does not match the sequence settings. In this case you need to nest the clip in another sequence and then cut that sequence in as a clip before applying the filter.

Error: Unable To Find Conform File For: BCC . . .

You may get the following error with your Avid editor if you have multiple versions of BCC installed.


Error: Unable To Find Conform File For: BCC . . .

It is not recommended to use AVX 1.5 versions of the plugs on new editors as well as older version of BCC.

What is suggested is removing BCC 5 and reinstalling BCC 6. BCC 6 is AVX 2 only and will promote any BCC 5 AVX 1.5 effects to BCC 6 AVX 2.

AVX 2 is suggested and gives you advanced keyframe capabilities in Avid.

BCC 4 will not be promoted to BCC 6 so it is recommended you leave this installed but to no longer use it in future projects.
