Adapt corrected Color Project to a new Final Cut Project

I spent the last 5 days color grading a shortfilm.
The director gave me the finished Final Cut project.
I Sent it to Color
Color graded my butt off
Now the director made a complete new cut.
What is the correct Workflow to adapt the corrected Clips to the new cut ?

Quick note:
Reconform seems to work much better in 1.5 than previous versions of Color.
If you're in an earlier version of Color - the reconform must be created from the original timeline you sent to Color. And even then, depending on the nature of the timeline, it's very hit & miss. You may have to just save out all your grades and start all over from the new edit. If you do, make sure it really is locked picture.
Good luck!

  • What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x

    What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x?

    Some of the functions of Color have been incorporated into FCP X, meaning you will have more than the 3-Way-Color-Corrector but less than Color.
    Since you cannot share projects between FCP and FCP X, you might want to stay with FCS if you rely on Color.

  • Ok, I thought I could do a project in my new Final Cut Pro X. I got everything downloaded on Final Cut and I made my Project. The problem is is has taken so long to render that I don't have time. How do I download the video from Final Cut to Imovie?

    Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event"  > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

  • MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

    I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
    My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
    Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
    Thank you.

    You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
    1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
    2) Click the button in bottom left of your window: 
    3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
    The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
    Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

    I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

    If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from.  When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
    If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

  • Easiest way to color correct Final Cut project in Adobe After Effects CS4

    Hello, I have a project in Final Cut Studio 2, that I would love to color correct in Adobe After Effects CS4.  What would be the easiest, highest quality, most direct way to import or color correct Final Cut project in Adobe After Effects?
    Thanks a lot

    Export the FCP project, import it in Premiere Pro. From there, import the saved Premiere project into AE to retain the clips. How you get it back to FCP is anotehr matter, but simply rendering from AE should suffice. For everything else, Automatic Duck or BorisFX' XML Transfer would certainly offer a way to get this working in both directions....

  • I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

    I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

    What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
    What are the audio settings?
    What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
    If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
    It could be related to the audio frequency?

  • Opening an old FCp project in new Final cut?

    I was working on a previous version and recently got the new Final Cut X but now my project won't open? Any ideas?

    Unfortunately, this is just not supported in FCX, and Apple has stated they have no plans to add it in. There are some third party developers working on solutions, but no products or timelines have been announced yet.
    The best thing to do is to finish your project in FCP and use FCX for new projects.
    Eventually, converters may become available to port your old projects to FCX.

  • We've just downloaded Maverick and the new final cut 10.1.  On two separate computers it has crashed and we have lost our entire project that we were editing.  Not sure if it is a final cut problem or maverick.  Any suggestions on how to get the timeline

    We just installed maverick and the new final cut.  On 2 separate computers we have had it crash while using final cut and have lost the project.  Now we are reading that our time machine is not working with maverick.  Any suggestions on how to get timeline back from the new final cut?  Thought it was suppose to save automatically.

  • Does the projects created in Final Cut Express transfer over to the new Final Cut Pro software?

    Does the video projects created in Final Cut Express transfer over to the new Final Cut Pro software?

    You want to go from FCE to FCP-X?
    You would need to do so in multiple steps.
    1) You would need to be working in a very late version of FCE.
    2) Open the FCE project in FCP-7.
    3) In FCP-7, export an XML of the sequence you wish to get to FCP-X.
    4) Purchase the software 7toX
    http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/7toX/
    5) Import the XML into 7toX, export the FCP-X friendly file
    6) Import the converted XML into FCP-X
    7) Re-link all you media
    It should be noted that when you use XML, not all the things you have done in your original sequence will make it through the final translation. There is more information about this at the 7toX page linked above.

  • How can i import old projects (Final Cut Pro 10) to the new (final cut pro 10.1.1)?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a folder full of backup projects and events of Final Cut Pro X.
    Now, I have Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 and I don't know how to use those projects, since they were in a different folder.
    Yhanks very much
    Bruno

    I'm assuming these are on a secondary drive. At the drive's root level make folders called Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events. Move the projects and events you want to work with into those folders. In FCP use File>Update projects and events. Select the drive you want to update and FCP will update the projects and events in those folders. Save the originals as backups.

  • Can't open Final Cut Project

    I'm running FCP 5.1.2 on a MBP with Leopard. The project in question was created on the same system with the same version of FCP, but while running Tiger back in 2007.
    All project files and media are in the same place on an external FW800 drive, but they will not open.
    One project claims to be made on a newer version of Final Cut (false), this most recent one just freezes Final Cut when I try to open it.
    I've tried:
    • opening other versions in the Autosave vault
    • resetting disk permissions on the external drive
    • trashing the FCP preferences file
    • duplicating and renaming the project file
    None of the above worked. Other final cut projects will open, but the common thread among the projects that don't seems to be that they were created while the system was running Tiger.
    This problem seems fairly common on the discussion boards, but I haven't stumbled upon a solution yet. Has anyone found a solution?

    Reconnect the offline media and life should be good.
    Still, the best solution is for everyone involved with the project to be using the same version of FCP/Color.

    I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
    I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
    thanks in advance..

    You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

  • Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    Thanks Tom.
    So I will need  upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
    Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?
