AAF export from FCP5

Has anyone found a way to export AAF files with FCP5? Automatic Duck used to be able to handle OMF exporting, but they don't support multiclips.
I'm looking for a reliable way to export sound info. from FCP to Pro Tools, and retain volume information.
Cheers!

can you not just collapse your multiclip before
exporting with Automatic Duck?
The answer to this question is No. Unfortunatly collapsing multiclips is not sufficient. We hope in the future to support multiclips, it is obviously very important.

  • Export from FCP5

    Will anyone share their settings for the best (highest quality) settings for export from FCP5? I have had, what I would call, less than satisfactory results using Compressor 2. I know the MPEG encoder will have a significant impact on the quality of the final DVD. I am trying to output the highest quality so I can test different encoders. Also, would there be any difference to export an uncompressed AVI as opposed to Quicktime? I have ProCoder 2 on my PC and would like to test it as well. Thanks for your help.

    #3 output lossless DV
    Shane's Stock Answer #3:
    To export your DV project so there is no loss in quality, simply go to the File Menu and select EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE. Not Quicktime Conversion, fot this will compress the footage. Make sure the settings match your timeline settings, make it self contained and you are set.

  • AAF exports from PPCC for Avid don't include video

    PPro CC 2014.2 release   8.2.0 (65) Build
    iMac 27" Mid 2011;  3.4ghz i7; 16gb 1333 Mhz DDR3; AMD Radeon HD6970M 1024mb; OSX 10.9.5
    I need to export AAFs  of projects for Avid finishing. Tried exporting with embedded audio, separate audio, WAV, AIFF, trimmed and complete audio files but in no instance has the video exported.
    I have tried using multiple projects all with the same results-no video goes with the export. I can do work arounds but I need to have a simple and direct way to export from PP to Avid. We have dozens of users in our facility who need this ability.
    I've looked through the discussion boards here and elsewhere and can't find an answer to this one.
    Is this a known bug? I haven't attempted this in earlier builds, so I'm unsure whether this has ever functioned.
    ANy help is appreciated.

    This is a problem I've been trying to solve for a while too, Premier AAF files won't work with Avid. Even once you see the sequence in Avid the offline files will never reconnect to the media.
    A work around for this is to use Final Cut 7 and Automatic Duck, So make an XML in Prem, import that into FCP7 and then export an AAF from there using Auto Duck. One big problem is that FCP7 doesn't support MXF files though, so as long as you aren't using that format, it'll work. It's not very streamlined, but it's the best way I've found.

  • Problems with exporting from FCP5 to Compressor 2

    I am getting an error message as follows:
    File error: A file of this name already exists.
    I click okay. Compressor launches. I get an error message as follows:
    Error: Cant preview movie. Final cut Pro is busy.
    I select mpeg 2 DVD quality 90 min best. Check settings to be okay. Process batch. In the batch monitor it reads as follows:
    Export status: failed.
    Can anyone help me with this situation? I have tried renaming the sequence, saving the project as a different name, and I have went through the long process of reinstalling Compressor and deleting the appropriate receipts, and apps.
    Thanks,
    rmlaurit

    From your sequence select :
    File > Export > Quicktime Movie ...
    Settings: Current Settings (that means the same codec that your timeline, what ever it is)
    Include: Audio and Video
    Markers: (what you need here)
    Don't select: Recompress All Frmaes
    Select (if you have enough dfree space i your drives): Make Movie Self-Contained
    You'll get a Quicktime Movie with same quality that your timeline. Open Compressor application from your App folder, drag and drop the exported movie file and select the preset you need.
    Hope it makes sense !

  • Blocky Sorenson 3 exports from FCP5

    I'm exporting fairly long (40-60 min) QTs for a P.A. to transcribe. I'm using Sorenson 3 compression, and re-sizing to 320x240, to keep disk space low. My original files are DV with no additonal compression.
    The start of my exported files look great, and then somewhere in the middle they become EXTREMELY blocky with tons of artifacts. On some files, the image is crisp again at the end.
    Motion JPEG-A compression DOES work -- it held its look throughout the whole hour-long file.
    I've trashed all my old QT 6 and 7 receipts from the Library, and have re-installed QT 7.1 fresh -- still no luck. The only receipts I haven't thrown out seem to be for either MPEG or Pro functionality, and I don't want to pay $30 for an upgrade I already have.
    Does anyone know why my FCP or Mac would have trouble exporting long QTs with Sorenson 3 compression, but not with Motion JPEG-A compression?
    Thanks.

    Skydo, I saw your questions over at the FCP discussion yesterday. And they thought you would get a better answer to your question here.
    As for me I've never liked Sorenson 3. I think you said you had the quality slider halfway. But never mention what key frame setting or bit rate your using.
    Slider being half way and a high setting for key frames with a low bit rate will give you a bad compression.
    I've had great success with H.264 out of FPC. Some people hate compressor, being slow. But with both FCP/Compressor I can fine tune my compression to were you can't tell the H.264 from the original. I all way use one pass first, being fast. If it looks great I use it. If not I go for the multi-pass. Thus adding more compression time. You can add compression and edit makers at places in the video were you think you'll have compression problems.
    There a ton of things you can use in FCP/Compressor to make great video that people over look.

  • Export from FCP5 to mobileme

    How do you export a clip from the time so it can be uploaded to mobileme? Unlike imovie I do not see an easy (one step) way. Is there a way to do the large and medium size movies like imovie?

    iMovie's settings were H.264, I believe, so you'll want to export using Quicktime Conversion and choose H.264 as your codec. You can then set a specific frame size from there.

  • HDV QT Reference Movie Exported from FCP5 Freezes

    I'm having a problem when I export HDV to a Quicktime Reference Movie. The video plays back to a specific point, then freezes, while the audio keeps playing.
    This happens even with cuts-only (or even uncut footage), no effects movies when they are exported as QT Reference Movies.
    Can anyone give me some advice?

    STUDIO X: I tried rendering the QT Reference Movie to the same disk as the media, but I still get the same video freeze with audio that works just fine. The video freezes 21-minutes into the 42-minute video.
    FINAL CUT PRO: Thank you for your suggestion, but QT Reference Movies were designed to accomplish specific function. I use them to burn DVD's, create videos for the internet and mobile phones... lots of things. Your suggestion is simply circumventing a function that SHOULD work. Your suggestion also takes much more time and disk space. You're taking something that should be simple and making it complicated. Unless I have to move a copy of my HDV movie to another computer outside of my studio, this is unacceptable.

  • How do I export from FCP5 to DVD if I don't have the DVD studio?

    I have a FCP 5 and I'm trying to export my movies to DVD without loosing my quality. Have no DVD studio and so I can't compile back the m2v, ac3 and the aiff files together when I export the movie through the compressor. When I tried exporting any other way I got a low quality movie. What can I do?
    Thank you very much!

    File - Export - Quicktime Movie
    No need to click self-contained if you don't want to. iDVD will read and compress it for you even as a non self-contained movie.

  • Failed AAF Import from PT: Error Code -39, bad references. Any clues?

    I received an AAF file (and associated 96khz 24bit aif's) exported from ProTools.  Several of the aifs are 28kb files that Finder's Get Info says have a duration of 0:00.  Earlier on in the project I successfully imported an OMF export; this AAF was updating four tracks.
    When I important the aaf into Logic—whether into a new or pre-existing project—regions appear at what look to be the right time indexes, and they appear to be the right length, but the waveform preview never fills in.  All of the regions except one appear to be tied to a single audio file; the many of those very short files are apparently in a "Sample accurate edit.2" region that I can't find elsewhere in the project.
    When I try to play the project, I quickly get a popup stating: "Error code -39 was returned by the Audio driver."
    It looks like a similar issue was raised here: https://logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=88286
    Any idea what's going on here?  Is this a Logic importing AAF issue, a PT exporting AAF issue, or something else?

    One of the problems PT has.. is that it has issues exporting AAF files if the file name or path.. contains what Avid describes as "Foreign Characters" (Or to be more accurate... They spell it 'Foreing Characters'!!)

    This particular 'feature' has been one of many long standing bugs with PT and AAF exporting... Just do a quick google for "failed aaf export from Pro tools" without the quotes.. to see what I mean....

  • AAF import from Protools

    Hi, i'm using Premiere Pro CC and receiving AAF exports from the sound mixer who is working in Protools 10. When I do the import however, I am getting only 20 seconds of clips in the time line and all the clips are offline. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

    Are you using any plugins in Logic?
    In Preferences/Audio  under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set?

  • EXPORTING TO QUICKTIME FROM FCP5 AND ONLY SOME OF THE FILM IS TRANSFERED?

    Hello All
    Im in the midst of exporting my sequence from FCP5 to quicktime via the "Quick Time Movie" option. When I do this about 30 seconds of footage is missing from the final QT that us created.
    If any one can help I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks

    In the time line make sure that you go to the end and then press o (out Point)
    also if you have a clip selected that is all that will be exported. From your info thats all I got for you. LOL

  • Exporting to DVD Studio PRo from FCP5 ....  Can't find answer anywhere..

    Sorry guys, but I have read about 2 hours worth of posts without any answers to my question that is driving me insane. My eyes are bleeding and I am tired of experimenting having to wait hours for exporting to finish just to find out it isn't good quality or not acceptable in DVDSP.
    Here is my deal and hopefully someone can help me resolve my issue.
    I shot in 24p HDV and edited in FCP5. Finishes project and now want to burn on DVD for friends and family =) End project is about 18 minutes long 720p
    Tried using QuickTime Movie export and "current settings" and the file ended up being like 370mb, which seems REALLY small, so I am not sure how to change "current settings," since I am convinced those settings are not the best quality.
    I then tried DCHDV PRO 24F in the alternate settings and I ended up with a 5.6gb file, which looked beautiful but too large for a DVD. I tried using compressor to make it smaller using m2v conversation but DVSP refuses the file. I would love to use a QuickTime Movie export that can get the file around 4gb and keep the GREAT quality and still be accepted in DVSP.
    So what I really need from someone out there is:
    What the best settings for exporting a 18 min HDV 24p movie from FCP5 to DVDSP losing the least amount of quality as possible?
    Poor quality to me is flickering credits, poor colors etc.

    I believe you have the fundamental misunderstanding of what is happening in this process.
    When you create a DVD, all video material - without regard to original format - is converted to a highly compressed MPEG2 format and the audio to either an aiff or ac3 format. The video and audio files are then mixed (muxed) together into a series of VOB files. The major controllers of final quality are: original footage quality, compression bitrate and the amount of motion within frames. The overall length has an impact on bitrate as the DVD spec was designed for a 2 hr limit. HDV presents it's own problems as the 15 frame GOP format is not simply converted to the SD NTSC format.
    You may want to spend time to understand how the mpeg2 compression works so you can make suitable adjustments if the result is unacceptable. It is a bit of a dark art but controllable to some extent.
    The easy setups available in DVDSP are a good place to start and each parameter within the compression process is adjustable.
    good luck.

  • AAF EXPORT OPTION FOR AFTER EFFECTS CC

    Hi My name is Marcellus. I use After effects for vex when I import my avid sequence AAF from Media Composer to After effects. Thing is I don't use premiere Pro or Premiere CC. I think that if I have to dynamic link my after effect composition over to premiere creating a new premiere project then exporting my sequence AAF from premiere back to avid it's too much file base creation. May after Effects CC add an AAF export option where it renders the effects in the composition, I can export that workflow as an AAF with effects rendered and  import that AAF back into Avid Media composer and link to the timeline like a feature with Davinci resolve?

    You're correct. See the Avid to After Effects workflow article. That method is possible but not recommended.

  • Exporting from Keynote to Power Point

    I live in Kenya in East Africa and run photographic safaris. I use Canon digital equipment (still photography) and at the end of each safari set up a slide show of the better images taken on the safari and give it to the guests. I present my images using power point as this seems to be the most universal way to present slides.
    I own a 17 inch Power Book G4 and also a 17 inch Mac Book Pro. I use Aperture on both Macs.
    On my new Mac Book Pro I have problems. After editing in Aperture, I then export my versions ( in any format - Tiff, Jpeg ) to a file and then import them from that file to power point. Power point seems to remove all the punch of the images making them look very flat and hardly worth looking at. Why?
    I have managed to by pass this problem on my Power book G4 by exporting images from Aperture as Tiffs, these seem to work quite well when they are imported into Power point, except the files are huge.
    What this means is that I own a Mac Book Pro but don't use it as it can't do what is required. I hope I am doing something wrong or that there is an alternative method to presenting slides.
    I have Keynote, which works well. Sadly most of our guests are PC users and so would like the slides in a PC format. Keynote allows you to convert to power point, but here again the picture once in power point looks flat, Why?
    Is there a better method than Power point to present slides? In a presentation I like to have text, single and multiple images per slide.
    I have used iDVD, but there are not enough pixels on a TV screen (when showing still images) to give you a punchy clear picture, or so I am told.
    I would love any suggestions to help with this problem.

    Hi Ngiri
    It's not really clear to me how you or your guests are assessing your "flat" photos - on a computer screen, via a video projector, on a TV?
    Most of my photo slide shows are created using DVDStudioPro - look fantastic. Distributed as a PAL DVD "best viewed on a TV".
    Lately I have tried some photo presentations using Keynote, and then exported to Powerpoint. Photos looked fine, but PP is unacceptable. I then tried exporting from PP straight to PDF. Using a PDF for a presentation was a revelation - photos look very good. The PDF is a small cross platform file.However, I still prefer DVDStudioPro, but it takes much longer to create a DVD.
    Have you actually tried Keynote straight to iDVD? Or a slideshow created within iDVD? (Lots of tutorials available).
    I have used iDVD, but there are not enough pixels on
    a TV screen (when showing still images) to give you a
    punchy clear picture, or so I am told.
    ???I don't understand why anyone would tell you this???
    Of course, Aperture could be the problem...or your Mac Book Pro is incorrectly setup.
