Cannot import .fcpxml from Final Cut Pro X to Premier Pro 6 ...'file format not supported'?

I've exported a project from FCPX into a .fcpxml. Upon trying to import it in Premier Pro 6, an error appears 'file format not supported'. I have searched for possible solutions, but everything I've found is related to FCP 7. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi Kevin!
Thanks for your response.
The codec is actually MPEG-2 -- so it's not a ProRes codec.
Other information:
HDV1080i60; 29.97 fps; 48Hz, 1440x1080 resolution
Any ideas for us?
Thanks for responding so quickly ~

Hi Jessica,
That is a stickier case.
You can purchase the Calibrated {Q} plug-in to fill that gap. It might be wise to contact them and see if you can get an educational or volume discount.
The no-cost solution is a bit more labor intensive: transcode the footage to a friendlier codec prior via the FCP Media Manager prior to the students leaving the program.

Can't open sequences or import clips - File format not supported

We have an iMac workstation here running Premiere that will not open projects or import clips. Here's the sequence of events that led to this:
1. Premiere was locking up on the splash screen whenever it got to "ImporterQuicktime.bundle". I tried trashing preferences and launching with plug-ins disabled and received the same freeze. Based on forum recommendations I removed "ImporterQuicktime.bundle" and "ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle" from the plug-ins folder inside the package. The software launched fine - but none of the Quicktime files in the project were working. So I then took copies of the above 2 files from the iMac next to this one, with the exact same configuration, and pasted them into the plug-ins folder. Since then - launching the software has generated the below errors.
2. Attempting to open any project gives a long error that starts as: The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located.
3. Starting a new project and attempting to drag any Quicktime ProRes media into the project gives the error: File Format not supported.
I have trashed the preferences, re-installed the Pro Apps Quicktime Codecs, de-authorized the computer and re-authorized it, and upgraded Adobe Premiere from 7.0 to 7.2. None of which fixed the issue.
I'm thinking about trying a complete re-install of Premiere next. Any other ideas?
Here's the details:
Premiere Pro CC 7.2
Mac OS 10.8.5
iMac late 2012 model, 32Gb RAM, 2Gb video card
Thanks.

I seem to have figured out a work around. It appears the 7.2 upgrade is making it so that our Quicktime XDCAM 422 clips are not properly recognized. Clips both currently in a project and new clip imports do not work. Attempting to import clips using this codec generates the error message: Unsupported format or damaged file. This has happened on both an iMac system running 10.8.5 OS and a Macbook Pro running 10.9.1 OS - both of which were upgraded to Premiere 7.2. In both cases - uninstalling and re-installing Premiere resolved the issue.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 classroom in a book lesson files "file format not supported" error message

Hey y'all. I have the creative Suite cloud membership and am learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have the latest update. I have an iMac, version 10.8.2 and have been going through the lessons 1-8 so far from the 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a book' with no problems. So far so good. Then, when I opened Lesson 9 project today, I realized that certain media was off line (see pic below-videos and maps) even though I had been able to open the project. I tried to see if it was a link issue but was unable to select the 'Link Media' option and the system did not give me the option to link media when opening a new project. The strange thing is that I am now able to open some lessons with everything working fine but when I try to open other lessons such as lesson 9 or 10 or 11 I notice media files offline after getting the "file format not supported" pop-up error message when attempting to open a project. It's random as some lessons I had opened previously now give this error message of file format not supported when they didn't in the past whilst others work. I have deleted all the lesson files from my hard drive and reinstalled them from the cd onto my hardrive but the issue persists. Any idea as to why all of a sudden Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is giving the error message "File format not supported"??? when opening the lessons. I have not changed any preferences. I've included some screenshots though I don't know how much help they will be... Is anyone else running into this issue??? Can anyone help???
NEVERMIND. I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IS NOW FIXED. YAY!

Why were you trying to link a file in the project to the project file itself? Shouldn't it be a video file or something? Like .mov .wav .avi .mp4 and not .prproj

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Best Way to import items from final cut pro

I have recently edited a video in final cut pro studio 1 and them compressed the file for dvd studio. However when i came to look for my file it was as a quicktime movie that dvd studio could not see. ie when i came to locate the file i dvd studio it did not show up when other files had. I tried rebooting the program but alas it still could not find it.
Can someone tell me a better way or what i have done wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Andrews

Best way is to export from Final Cut (either self contained or to Compressor) and then encode the video to m2v (using Compressor or other encoder) and audio to AC3 then bring those files into DVD SP

As to why the file is not being seen, are you sure you exported to the path you are looking at? Just try exporting to the desktop to make sure you know where it is.
If you have more details on the workflow it will help (such as how you exported, where to, what types of files, etc.)

Logic crashing when importing OMF from Final Cut

Greetings, an editor of a 20 minute short film exported a 16 bit 48 k OMF from Final Cut Pro that I imported no problem in Logic Pro 7.2.
Then, he made some new cuts to the video so he exported a new OMF at 48 k, 24 bit ... this did not import properly. Logic kept "unexpectedly" crashing when importing the composition part of the OMF, every time crashing on one specific file.
So, he exported another OMF at 48 k, 16 bit (because we thought it was a problem with 24 bit) but the same thing keeps happening .. I absolutely cannot import these new OMFs, they keep crashing Logic while importing the composition aspect of the OMF at one specific file ... but, I can still import the original OMF ... there is something wrong with the new OMFs I think ..
Does this sound familiar to anyone? is there something wrong with the way he may be exporting the OMF from Final Cut? .. any suggestions or work arounds would be incredibly appreciated ...

Probably the editor is using sounds with mixed sample rates in the new OMF !

Export from final cut 4.5 to soundtrack pro

I cannot seem to get my audio to export correctly to soundtrack pro 1.0.1 from final cut 4.5.HD. It is bounced out as a stereo file.
when i export to STP it mixes the audio.
can some one share a work flow for getting audio tracks into STP from FCP 4.5 and keep the tracks seperate?
TIA - Jeremy

maybe i am doing something wrong. i went to the sequence. i cntrl-click the seq and select export aif(s). i did not choose stereo mix.. it still made only one track of audio and left the other 3 alone. maybe it was a mix of all, but i did not test since i only saw one file in the folder. i am new to this concept. i have only mixed music (not sound for video). i saw in the manual for final cut 4 that there is a section in the sequence settings that you could change the numbers of outputs for the sequence. so i set to 1-2, 3-4 since i have a delta 44 (not the best i know). i did the export the same as before. i now have blah1_2.aif and blah3_4.aif. blah1_2.aif has sound (do not know if it is stereo mix or just the audio 1 and audio 2 of the dv file, but blah3_4.aif has nothing. it is a blank file. i am totally confused.

Import movie from final cut pro x in pinnacle studio ?

today i make movies with pinnacle studio (windows)
i have pc with blu ray burner in pc (built in)
i would like to buy mac with final cut pro x
is it possible to make movie (high definition) in finacl cut pro x and export to a format which can be imported in pinnacle studio (version 14) without loss of quality
then i would like to burn blu ray on my pc with pinnacle studio
so : make movie with mac and burn HD movie on pc ?

It'd be easier to get Toast 11 Pro and author/burn Blu Ray on your Mac.
BUT, that's extra money you may not want to spend.
Pinnecle, does it import XML files? Well, that may not work anyway.
You'll have to export a QT movie in FCP X that Pinnacle will read.

Cannot play mov from final cut pro

Hi out there,
I received three mov videofiles with exactly the same length of 2.097.152 KB. This is a playout from a final cut pro editing system.
When playing one of these files with quicktime 7.1 on a Win XP system there is a -2048 error message: "not a video file".
It seems that the files are packed/compressed before from a bigger movie. Do you know which software will pack/unpack those mov files or how to view?
Thank you in advance,
Dave H.

the source is FCP<<</div>
That still doesn't say what the specific format the files are ... FCP can export to MANY, MANY QT (and other) codecs/formats. See if the files will play on a Mac. If so, while open in QT Player, hit Command j, then look to see what the specific codec is. It may just be a problem of not having the needed codec installed on the Windows system. Also, most Windows systems will require that the file has an extension in order to play properly.

Still Frames Exported from Final Cut Jitter in DVD Studio Pro

I'm on a Titanium Powerbook G4. I use Final Cut 3.0 and DVD Studio Pro 1.5. Within my film I have several 15 second clips that are each a compilation of a single frame repeated many times so as to get the look of a still picture on the screen. I exported my film as a F.C.P. movie and when I watch it in Quicktime everything appears fine (as it does when I play it from within F.C.P.). However, when I author the DVD with Studio Pro (tried it w/ iDVD also and received the same unwanted result)those clips "jitter" or shake back and forth so I get a blurry image instead of a still, clear image like in F.C.P.
I burn the DVD w/ the internal combo drive on my Powerbook. I have never had an issue w/ any DVD that I have editied, authored or burned on this computer or w/ these programs.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Ryan

Importing AVCHD from Final Cut Camera Archive

I am trying to import some additional footage that I shot with my Panasonic HD camera. Clips are stored in a Final Cut Camera Archive. When I open the Archive in the Import window I can see all the clips and they even preview in the window, but when I select the one(s) I want and get the import dialog box, after selecting import nothing happens.

Thank you. They were already in an Event folder. Didn't realize that FCPX screens for duplicate entries.

Hyper-v cannot boot Gen2 guest from Windows 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 x64 ISO - file format not supported, Gen1 works fine

I am new to Gen2 Hyper-V and so far I simply can't use it, because I am unable to install any (supported) guest OS from an ISO ...
So far I tried that on:
1. my HP Z230/i4770 workstation (Secure Boot disabled) host running Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (with Hyper-V feature enabled), can't boot any VM with supported OS ISO.
2. my home desktop/i3770K (secure Boot enabled) host running Windows 8.1 Pro x64, same result, error during VM boot from ISO, quoted below.
Synthetic SCSI controller (instance blah blah) Failed to Power on with Error 'The version does not support this version of file format'
Gen1 guests of course work perfectly fine with those ISOs, because emulated DVD IDE picks up the official Enterprise Evaluation ISO of either Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise, perfectly fine and all works OK in Legacy boot mode.
When I create a new guest and select Gen2, then no matter if I check or uncheck the Secure Boot in virtual Boot Order options for the guest (while setting the SCSI DVD at top of course), it simply doesn't work, always same error. I tried first connecting
to VM to see if it prompts for key press, but it doesn't, the error is instant on Power on when (supported) ISO image is selected to be booted.
I verified that both of official Enterprise Evaluation ISO's of either WS2012r2 and W8.1x64 are bootable in both the UEFI mode (Secure Boot enabled) and Legacy BIOS mode using a physical computer.
What am I missing here???

FYI, above is wrong! it's not about linking ISO to virtual DVD or selecting "Install OS later", it's all about the location of the ISO file and share permissions on parent folder!
I was actually suspecting several issues, but haven't had time to test it, was thinking about issues like assigning (or not) some of initial settings during Gen2 VM creation, e.g.:
-Network connection through virtual switch or Not Connected (make no different if assigned or not)
-Memory above 4096MB (makes no difference if < or > 4096MB)
-ISO file location (makes huge difference!)
The ISO file CANNOT be placed on network share OR in shared folder on same local drive as the VHDX file (works fine if parent folder is not shared).
I can now replicate the issue easily every time and it always fails with file format unsupported message whenever I have the ISO file located either on remote network share, or (fails the same way too) when I have the ISO file placed locally (on host drive)
when simply a parent folder is shared... must be some permissions issue... and a pretty dumb one considering that in production environments nearly everything is placed on remote file servers ...
... so the moral of the story is, if you want to install Gen2 VM in win8/2012 hyper-V then you must copy the ISO file to Hyper-V host drive AND make sure the parent folder is not shared. works every time now! :)

Importing photos from CF card to lightroom. Results say files could not be imported as they could not be read.

Please help. I'm trying to import photos from my CF card and lightroom says "The following files could not be imported because they could not be read." Can someone explain a step by step way to import these photos please as I am not that proficient on such matters?!

So, I'm replying to myself I guess because I figured it out! Go to Import in lightroom, choose Destination which is bottom right corner, select applications and then select Adobe Photoshop CS5. I'm not sure why the lightroom application did not show up under applications, but I tried this and it worked. Also not sure if I clicked any other Adobe application it would have worked, but I don't plan to change anything unless someone tells me this is an issue.
This is most simplistic way for me to explain it and if I can understand it anyone can. This worked for me the first time, hopefully it will be that easy for you!

Importing markers from Final Cut Pro 7

Hello
I have markers set in FCP7 on a sequence. I want to export that sequence as a Quicktime and import it into AE. How can I import these markers into AE CS4 with my movie?
Thanks
-------------S

Not at all. Sorry, this is beyond what AE is capable of. You may however have some luck exporting an FCP XML to Premiere, then import from there in AE. You will have to split at the markers, though. AE doesn't read PPro markers, either.
