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.

  • Exporting from FCP for use with PC

    Hey all,
    Trying to deliver a high-med quality 8 minute video from FCP for use with a PC. I've tried exporting both a .mov and .avi using DVCPro50, but neither are readable through the PC. Best I can get is sometimes audio will show up. Does anyone have a good solution for exporting from FCP for use with a PC?
    Thanks again for your help!

    I don't think DVCpro50 codec is available on a PC. I think panasonic has a special license with apple only, so you need to try a different codec for the avi.

  • Best way to export from FCE for compression?

    Hi again, folks!
    I've read/learned that, when you plan to compress your video, you should ideally export from your editing program in the final resolution (size) that you want the video to be. Apparently this is because editing programs do a better job of sizing the video than do compression programs (such as Sorenson Squeeze, which does its best work doing only compression). What I'm wondering is this: When I export to QuickTime from FCE, I have two options, namely Export as a QuickTime Movie, or Export Using QuickTime Conversion (which allows me to save as a QuickTime or other format). So, my question is, if I Export Using QuickTime Conversion, does this actually "convert" the video to some 'bastardized' version of QuickTime, or does it just reduce the size? I'm asking because I don't understand why, on the one hand, FCE refers to exporting a full size video as simply "Exporting as QuickTime" while on the other hand (eg. when I'm lowering the resolution), it's called "QuickTime Conversion" (which is lumped in with a whole bunch of other output format possibilities such as .avi, mpeg4, etc).
    I'm probably not being as clear as I'd like, but more simply put, why does FCE consider going from hi-res QuickTime to low-res QuickTime a 'conversion'?

    One suggestion I received (just tonight) from another forum was to export the video from FCE, but not as a self-contained movie; this way (I'm told), the video is not being compressed or otherwise altered, and hence will give me the best results when I compress
    The information you received on the other forum was half right and half wrong. The difference between a self-contained movie and a movie that isn't (known as a 'reference' movie) is NOT the quality; it's that the self-contained movie is an exact copy of what's in your Sequence while the reference movie only refers to the original media and renders ... it doesn't copy it. Since reference movies rely on the original media (and render files) for playback or when used in other applications (like Sorenson Squeeze), they will not work properly on any other system nor will they work if any of the original media or render files are moved, deleted or otherwise altered.
    The quality of the two types is identical.

  • Best way to export from FCP for website

    I've been reading around about this and am not getting a clear idea of what to do...
    I have some short sequences in FCP (longest is 2 minutes) that I want to post individually on my new website (that I'm just learning about).
    I want to export them in a way that is a small file but that looks and sounds good, and also that can be played by most or all computers.
    So I guess that is two questions: settings for export from FCP, and how to control how it will be viewed.
    Thanks so much, anyone with ideas or experience!

    We don't know what format you are dealing with, ratio etc.
    However, some short answers for you.
    For best quality at a considerable small file size the choice is, yet again, H.264 (Require QT7 or higher. For universal compatibility you may need flash conversion).
    FCP main menu>File>Export>QT Conversion>Options> the higher the bit rate the better the quality but the bigger becomes the file size. Size : i.e 320x240 if 4:3; 480x270 if 16x9). Choose AAC (Not PCM) as sound format (192 target bit rate).

  • What format to export from FCP for iDVD?

    I am having trouble coming from FCP to iDVD. Material was shot HDV on a Sony Z5 and I downconverted to DV to edit on FCP. I make a Quick Time Movie of the edit (as DV PAL) but the pans are all juddery. How should I export from FCP to stop the juddering on pans?

  • Exporting from Quicktime for optimal editing in FinalCut Express

    I've read that it is recommended to export H.264 for best quality in Quicktime, but Final Cut Express doesn't play H.264 in real time. It forces you to render if you want to edit in the timeline. What is the best format to export from Quicktime in to enable real time editing in FCE?

    To convert the file so that FCE doesn't need rendering you need QuickTime Pro and do the following:
    - open the file
    - menu File > Export...: then select +Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie+ and click Options.
    - In the +Video > Settings+ dialog select:
    - Compression Type: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC (or DV-PAL) and make sure that:
    - Frame Rate: 29.97 (or 25), Quality is Best, Scan Mode: Interlaced, Aspect Ratio: 4:3 (or 16:9 if anamorphic)
    - In the +Sound > Settings+ dialog select:
    - Format: Linear PCM, Channels: Stereo (L R), Rate: 48000, Quality: Normal, Sample size: 16 bits
    The result is a .mov file (not .dv) that doesn't need rendering when imported to FCE to a sequence with setup DV-NTSC (or PAL).

  • Export from PC for Mac use.

    I'm a PC and need to export files suitable for a Mac user. Currently files are NTSC DV avi's. What generic format to export so they can view and/or play in iMovie etc.
    I'm sure it's Quicktime mov but there are so many different flavours/codecs and I don't use Mac so where to start? I'm on CS5.5 and I also have Quicktime Pro.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know anything about imovie, but NTSC DV is the native SD format for Premiere on mac.

  • Exporting from iMovie for additional editing?

    I have an iMovie sequence that took a long time to edit, but I need to export the footage to another editing app (GoPro Studio). I invested a LOT of time creating the iMovie, but need to merge much of it with other GoPro footage. GoPro studio has a few features that can adjust for GoPRo wide angle lens etc that iMovie can't do.
    I am concerned that once the footage has been rendered/exported FROM iMovie then rendered again in GoPro studio for final, that I will have an extra generation of interpolation that will further degrade the image quality. Is there a LOSSLESS export option form iMovie? (I'm using the most recent version)
    I'm obviously not a pro video editor, but I am a pro photo retoucher, and would never create a second copy of a file using JPG format. I'm assuming that video rendering (exporting) also INTERPOLATES the pixels, resulting in a noticeable image degradation.
    So is there a "LOSSLESS" export option? Or a format that is virtually indistinguishable form the original? I hope I'm being clear enough on this.
    thanks!

    Do you have a MobileMe account? If so an alternative is to publish directly from iMovie to a MMe gallery. You can include several sizes of the same movie in the gallery to accommodate visitors with different connection speeds. This demo page has an example: Adding a MMe Gallery from iMovie 09.
    Or, there are a couple of ways of embedding a QT movie into a web page that does not require the movie to load with the page, only when the play button is selected. See these demo pages: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window and QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player.
    This demo page has seven examples of the first method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes

  • 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.

  • Exporting an .M2T for Avid

    Hey all,
    We're trying out a new tapeless workflow to get our two shows ready for broadcast. We currently edit in FCP in ProRes 422, export a ProRes from there, use Compressor to encode that as Avid DNxHD and drop it off at the local closed-captioning studio. They work completely in Avid on Windows XP. That's worked okay so far, but our closed-captioning guy charges us for the time it takes to import that DNxHD. That's been adding up.
    He's suggested we give him an .m2t file (He says it can be brought into Avid without a problem) -- which Compressor can make just fine. Only problem is, Avid chokes on that, saying it's unable to read the MPEG file.
    Has anyone here had experience exporting to Avid from Final Cut Pro? Or maybe can share a Compressor droplet that has the right .m2t settings?
    Thanks!
    Max

    ask him for a sample .m2t file that works and see if you can figure out the settings.

  • EDL list from FCP for AVID

    Hi,
    My client wants to edit with me and then export the EDL with time code to take to an AVID editor who will remake the same piece just with digibeta source tapes. Is this possible? If so, where can I look to figure out the details which seem to be many.
    Thank you kindly.
    Steve

    You can export an EDL and if it is a simple edit with no real effects and speed changes and such it should work
    File > Export > EDL...
    Leave most of the settings at default. Pull a seperate EDL for each video layer. Under EDL notes, uncheck all of those options. Start time 01.00.00.00. Audio mapping depends on what you have done in the edit.
    And definitely do a test to the Avid and hand check the EDL before sending it over. As the above poster said, Automatic Duck is the way to go but it costs $$, you've already got EDL functionality in FCP. EDLs are old technology and don't transfer much information so check, test, and recheck.
