Audio popping between clips with timeline imported from final cut xml file

So i imported a final cut timeline that was synced with pluraleyes into adobe and between all the cuts there is an audible popping noise. I've tried using audio cross fade but it seems to make it worse. How can I fix this??

If anyone else has this problem - you fix it by making sure you pan the audio to the center, not left or right.

Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
There are no markers.
Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
Thank millions for a solution.

It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite. I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating.

Length of clip expands when sending from Final Cut to Motion

Hi everybody. I'm a motion beginner, so pardon me if this is a boneheaded question. I have a clip whose speed has been slowed in an FC timeline. I sent it to motion in order to switch the method of speed alteration to 'optical flow'. The clip in the FC timeline is three seconds long, 62 frames. It's an excerpt from a clip in the browser that is 10 minutes long, 14,000 frames.
The clip opens in motion at the correct length -- three seconds -- and it looks the same as in the FC canvas. However, when I select 'optical flow', the task list says Motion is analyzing 14,000 frames and it finish in 27 hours.
Why is Motion applying the change to the entire master clip and not just the piece that I sent from FC? And is there a way to force it to deal with just the piece?

Because that's what Motion 3 does - analyzes the entire underlying media file. Your options: 1) In FCP, export the clip with handles, import, and replace, then send that shorter clip to Motion or 2) Upgrade to the new FCS, in which Motion 4 only analyzes the section of the clip you are interested in.

Audio out of synch after I export from Final Cut

I have a video on a Final Cut timeline. If I play in FC, audio is in synch. If I play the file in QuickTime player from my captures folder, the audio is in synch. If I export from final cut, or from quicktime pro, the audio of the resulting file is off by about 1 second. I was trying to make a h.264 file, but it does the same thing if I export to other formats as well.
This only seems to be happening with this particular video. I have a number of project loaded right now, and do not have this same problem with the other projects.
Weird....any help would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't include any of your specifications for the sequences or exported movies but a problem that only exists on a single item is directly associated with that item and can be identified but they're usually subtle.
My first guess is that the audio on the original media is set to a slight different sampling rate. Could be off a thousandth of a decimal. The reason it works in the timeline is it's being conformed to the sequence settings in realtime. The export would reference the original.
I can't tell from the post where you're getting this loss of sync. Can you try exporting a self-contained movie and then use that to go to h.264?

Capture with QT import to Final Cut ?

Capturing video from DVCAM deck with Quicktime 7 is a breeze- speedy and efficient - however trying to import the clips into Final Cut brings error messages ( frame rate etc ). Only way is to re export the moviefrom QT then re import into Final Cut taking valuable export time and negating the reason for doing this in the first place. Anyone any answers ? Also why is QT capturing with a variable frame rate ( not locked ? ) and can ANY application read these "captured" movies or are they just QT dependent ?
Interested in any comments/solutions/workrounds?
Thanks

I tested it and Device Native with a DV feed gives an MOV with a DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 28 megabit track. It also stores a sound track which is PCM 16 bit 48KHz track. That's with a Hollywood Bridge converter.
With an HDV camera doing HDV/DV, the track is the same type, but how the picture looks depends on the camera setting. It can either be letterboxed or anamorphic. Curiously the bit rate is different for the two, with letterbox being the usual 28 megabits, but the anamorphic is 21 megabits.
In any case, QuickTime Player does an awesome job of recording native DV. However, sure enough FCP complains saying that it's a unknown file type. iMovie brings it in but has to convert it first.
I'll ask the authorities about this...

Burned a disc with a QT from Final Cut, cross fades look terrible

Hello,
Burned a disc in iDVD 6 with a quicktime bounced from Final Cut. The quicktime itself, when played in quicktime, looks great and has nice crossfades throughout. When burned in iDVD to a disc and played on a television, the crossfades are not rendered, and they look terrible. Decolorized, pixelated, non-existent in some cases. Any ideas why? I'm burning in Toast 8 to see if I can duplicate the problem so as to isolate it as an iDVD or FCP problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Because the QT file isn't compressed while the iDVD file is. And in this case anyway, you prefer the compression offered via Toast instead of iDVD. Bear in mind that one-hour of DV material is roughly 13GB. iDVD (or Toast) compresses this to fit on a 4.3GB DVD. Google MPEG compression to learn more.

Can't import Final Cut XML file into Premiere Pro CS4 MAC

Hello, I'm traying to import FCP Studio 2 XML file into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4for the purpose of then color correcting the project in Adobe After Effects.
I followed all the rules of exporting XML files from my Final Cut Studio 2 timeline, then closed FCP, opened Adobe Premiere CS4 and when I go to Import option XML file is greyed out. I can't select the XML file...
Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you so much

I'll just say that the high end AE users list I frequent suggests that the more common workflow is to bring AE to FCP for color correction. Isn't that one of FCP's strengths?
Also, to the extent that you want to process an FCP project in AE, look for the best way to bring it directly, not through Premiere. Ask in the AE forum what opinions people have. Mac and PC types use AE, but my impression is that only a small proportion of those users use Premiere.

Exporting to multiple clips to compressor3.5 from final Cut 7

Hi have a timeline split into 20 or so individual clips that i want to export as DV fies using compressor.
I set the in and out points for each clip in the sequence timeline, then use the "send to compressor" menu option. Each time it sends the clip to a new batch file in compressor. So i then end up with 20 or so batch files that i have to setup individually and submit individually. This is a pain and also leads to confusion as the output file naming goes haywire unless i really concentrate.
Does anyone know how to send several clips from one timeline in Final Cut 7 to one batch in Compressor 3.5.
Thanks
C

just make 20 timelines and batch export after selecting all the timelines..

Premiere Pro CC crashes upon XML import from Final Cut 7 Export

Hello all,
I have recently tried to import a FCP7 XML into Premiere Pro CC 2014, and a few seconds after initiating the export Premiere Pro crashes. Any solution to this???
I Exported on a Mac Tower running FCP7 and then imported the XML on a PC Running the latest Premiere CC v8.1. Could that be a problem in itself?
Also I'm considering a workaround where I move the FCP7 to FCPX, generate the XML then try importing again. Worth a shot?
Also trying this strictly on an Apple computer to import and save before moving to my main PC station. Thoughts?
The sequence I'm trying to import is fairly massive too, not sure if this is why, but it is mult-layered, both in audio and video and is running about an hour in length with several other blocks of video files after that, probably running up to 2 hrs. This should not be a problem, right?
Help! It would be greatly appreciated to get out of the clutches of final cut finally.

I am having the same issue.
Your best bet is to logon to Adobe website and go to customer support. If you chat with someone they can go on your computer and trash all your preferences. Your computer will be stable again. It worked great for me, but I just imported an XML from Resolve and it is crashing the system again.
Good luck.

Is iDVD compatible with quicktime movies from Final Cut Express 4?

I am trying to find out if iDBD can be used with Final Cut Express 4 output or is it just for imovie? If it can be used with FCE4 what is the extension. Thank you.

Hi
Yes - IF YOU DO IT RIGHT.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Importing from Final Cut Pro-improving rendered quality

Is it possible to render an exported movie in FInal Cut so that it can be immediately written to the DVD rather than be rerendered/ compressed? FC allows you to create MPEG2, the same as iDVD or DVDs generally?
Failing that. my guess is that the export from FC should be with as little compression as possible (Animation, None, others ?). I have been quite disappointed with the end result quality in the burned disc seen on a TV, it doesn't look nearly as good as on the computer monitor. Perhaps this is a function of the limited resolution of TV/ versus the 720x480 DV. But I'm also getting color noise on black backgrounds, elements that I suspect are created by compression.

Hello,
Rendering and compression are two different beasts. If you are working in the DV format then you want to stay (render) in the DV format. Rendering to another format (HD, Animation, etc...) is not going to give you any more quality than what is already there: DV in this case. Compression takes your current format (DV) and turns it into an MPEG 2 (for most cases) for burning to a DVD. Keep in mind that 1-hour of DV is 13gigs while a DVD can only hold 4.7/4.3 gigs so the material must be compressed. Next, as you have surmised, these codecs were designed for SD Television display which has a much lower resolution than you computer monitor & also only displays one field at a time, alternating between two fields very quickly. The difference between interlacing fields and progressive scan. When editing in FC, you can hook a deck (or your camera) up to the computer and also send a signal via the analog outputs of the camera to a TV (I use an el cheapo 13" Philips but it serves my purposes). This allows you to have an idea of what the material will look like on a TV rather than the computer monitor.
FC will use Compressor to create the MPEG 2 files (compression) for a DVD. iDVD uses the same compression engine but does not give you control over the variables of the compression. However, iDVD cannot use an MPEG 2 file created by Compressor, iDVD wants to do it's own Compression. When exporting out of FC, you can either save the file as a reference file or as a self contained movie (using the same settings you captured with, DV in this case). You can drag either of these files to iDVD for compression/burning. The following is by stock answer on iDVD & quality:
Quality and iDVD- Quality is subjective; what one person finds as good another may not. Quality is also highly dependant upon input. In other words: quality in, quality out; garbage in, garbage out. It is helpful to have a basic understanding of what makes a DVD a DVD. When you record on mini-DV you are recording to an already compressed format. Arguably a very good compressed format but compressed nonetheless. This means information is being tossed at the point you are using the camcorder. iDVD, or any DVD authoring app on any computer, Windoze or Mac, compresses this material even further into the MPEG 2 format for playback via a tabletop DVD player. Now mini-DV has about 30 frames per second (NTSC). MPEG (in a very basic nutshell) takes a picture about twice every 30 frames and uses this as a reference frame and then only records the motion difference between that reference frame and the next time it creates a reference frame. So you go from 30 frames/second to TWO, with motion difference! This is how one hour of DV which is 13 gigs, can be compressed to fit onto one DVD. Two hours would be 26 gigs of DV compressed to one DVD! Hence the general quality difference between one-hour and two. And keep in mind that is compression will show artifacts that may have always been there but you didnt see until the other 28 frames where tossed out.
Having a basic understanding of what makes a DVD can help you make better DVDs. As example, if you see that your recordings have a lot of motion that is bad. Remember, when compress to DVD it only records the motion difference so you want to keep the camera steady and use slow controlled movements (pans & zooms). Quick pans or zooms or jerky movements are the bane of any MPEG compression scheme.
That is just one example. There are thousands more. Sometimes, merely recording to a different blank media yields better results. iDVD has a unique way of discovering bad RAM, so if you have added any RAM lately, this may affect your quality. The list goes on. /End my standard reply.
Black also poses difficulties for compression (fades to and from black, black with no motion and so on) since the Compression is looking for motion. The first step in "fixing" this is understanding it. What are your black backgrounds? Can

Troubles with playing out from Final Cut Studio to a camera

hello!
have troubles when playing out to a DV camcorder. i 've got a mac mini intel, final cut studio and 2 sony DV cameras with dv in.
capturing works fine, but when i put the captured movie to the timeline, then on both cameras there are 4 small bars (2 vertical, 2 horizontal), which shows some content of the captured files. the rest of the display stays black. looks very strange.
tried to reinstall quicktime, tried to erase quicktime receipts and quicktime settings.. it worked then, but just for one time. after restarting the mac the same problem occured.
thanks for your help!!

DVCPRO HD 720P: pixel aspect ratios with still images from Final Cut

I am currently trying to get still images from a trailer I am working on with Final cut pro. The footage is DVCPRO HD 720P 24pn and the interlacing and pixel aspect ratios have been giving me a lot of trouble in photoshop. I am able to convert the PAR but it is for preview purposes only...? I need the file to be saved with the converted PAR. How do you do that???
Also, the de-interlacing filter on photoshop doesn't seem to help the quality of the photo.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have searched and searched and only found somewhat related questions, so maybe I am the only one trying to do this...

Why are you doing interlace if you have 720p?

Compressing and importing from Final Cut into Flash

Hi,
I am trying to import a short film into Flash to create a swf file which I want to use on the web.
I compressed the film to a smaller Quicktime film and imported it into Flash, worked fine, but I don't get any sound.I did mark the box import audio.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Silke

extract the audio from your original movie and attach it to your SWF
dunno too much about Flash, but you should try importing your audio and video as seperate assets
or forget flash - u could just put it up as a movie (QT,MP4,WMV(!).....) or create an animated gif (e.g. with fireworks) and attach the audio file to it......
good luck!

Import From Final Cut Pro To iMovie

I know it seems backwards, but it is what I want to do. How can I move my FCX 10.0.2 project with it's events to iMovie 10?

No joy on this end.
I'm trying to export an event or the files in the event from iMovie 10.0.6 into FCPX 10.10.1.
Running Yosemite.
Only option to export in iMovie is file>share> but then all options are grayed out, e.g. theater, email, vimeo, file, etc.
Cannot export as xml (no option found). Cannot drag-drop from iMovie to fcpx either.
Tried to import to FCPX using file>import>media but cannot find the iMovie event or the files associated with it.
Can you give me a tip on this one?
Thanks..
