Avid bins to fcp studio

is there a way to export my digitized bins with all the synced up files from avid to final cut without having recapture 50 tapes?
thanks

NO matter what you use to get your project from Avid to FCP, you will have to recapture the media as Avid uses a proprietary format and not basic Quicktime. The other alternative is to export Quicktimes from Avid and let Sebesky Tools reassign the reel # and timecode to those QTs. I've never done this personally but this is one thing Sebesky Tools is supposed to do. Recapturing has always been the easiest route.

  • Avid bins to FCP

    Does anyone know how to import either the project settings or bins from an AVID to FCP. I am transferring a project from AVID Express pro 5.5.1 to FCP 5.1.1. I purchased Automatic duck pro import and imported the sequence just fine, but I need my bins. I overlooked this small detail when preparing for the transfer. I have well over 100 bins in AVID with several clips in each one, captured from 214 hours of footage. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Corrupted clips in switch to FCP Studio 2

    When I installed FCP Studio 2 and opened a project I discovered that all of the clips with the time remapped were corrupted. What a pain. Luckily everything is backed up but it is really proving difficult to fix these segments. Is this a bug or some mistake on my part?
    I would have waited until I finished the project, but I really wanted to use Color for grading. The 3-way just doesn't do what I need.

    I'm going from past (likely dim) memory: You cannot install FCS2 from a network drive or from a clone unless you have a multiseat license. the installer is specifically created not to do that, even if you have all those serial numbers. They could have purchased a network installable MacOS and a network installable FCS2 but I'm fairly certain those are only available if you actually specify the product.
    Does this make sense? It doesn't to me and I think they're just being stubborn and stupid. All of this is being done to accommodate the new P2 HD cameras. These brilliant people didn't think about that fact that it's not compatible with the Avid I have to use half the time. So, I'm not even gonna talk about that.

    Well, try to get along with them anyway. It's far better to love you IT guys than to hate them. Take one of 'em out for lunch.
    A scorched-earth total reformat is often recommended around here as the only viable installation procedure. I have never used this method for MacOS or for FCP installs; I just run the updates/upgrades. Try it on your system and see what happens.
    You DO WANT to make a clone of your system drive BEFORE you upgrade or update the OS or the FCP apps, though. That's just common sense.

  • Convert AVID Bin to Final Cut Pro with Media

    Hello I need to urgently figure this out.
    I have a AVID BIN with HD footage logged into it. There were 8 different tapes and the bin has about 100 clips in it. Everything is in dnxHD format on the AVID end. I'd want the clips to be PRORES on the FCP end.
    I have Automatic Duck FCPImport if needed.
    How do I do this?
    I want to basically convert the AVID BIN to a Final Cut Pro bin maintaing all tape/reel names for each clip as well as timecodes for each clip, so that they can batch capture in FCP down the road incase something goes offline.
    The thing is the media files would have to transfer too wtih the bin, so that they can open this all up in FCP and it shows up and they can start editing with the footage.
    Any ideas? Please tell me in lamens terms. I'm an AVID editor so I know AVID really well, FCP not so well but I can move around it.

    Could this be a job for Sebsky Tools?

  • External Hard Drive for PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio

    Hello,
    I'd greatly appreciate any recommendation for an external hard drive for a PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio.
    Thanks.

    We see alot of Lacie issues here and elsewhere.
    Drives fail... period. I believe you hear more about Lacie drives failing because they sell a ton more of them than many other suppliers. I've got 8 of em sitting right here on the desk and two more at the second station. I've lost one since I started using them years ago (and it had problems right out of the box) and I use them pretty heavy.
    I understand that they use several different brands of drives in their enclosures, but from my experience they must have pretty good QC standards for what they package.
    The guy said the G Techs were a little overkill for his needs. Lacie doesn't pay me. But if someone asks "how are Lacies?" I'll tell them they've been great for me and many others I know, especially if your requirements are capturing DV.
    In five years, I ain't heard anybody say anything about it.
    As for FCP. I love it! In 20 years of business, it's probably the purchase that's given me the most bang for my buck. But if you haven't heard people knock it, you've never met an Avid zelot, bruhhhhh, just the thought gives me shivers.
    The drives X mentioned are designed for video work.
    What Studio said, well he gives out some of the best advice on this board
    (and maybe the most! ) and my reply to his post... that's why I used the little smiley face. No offence intended X.
    I only meant to say that, in a world where software like FCP can do what it does at the price it does it, and drives like Lacie and G Tech can give you the storage they do for the price they do, the line between consumer and professional products is easily blurred.

  • Upgrade to FCP Studio 2 nonsense...

    Ok, so the engineers and IT people here at work are trying to upgrade everyone to FCP Studio 2. They have this brilliant plan for doing so. Check this out:
    So they installed everything on a single edit bay and added all the correct plugins and codecs and such for our new P2 HD cameras. Now, instead of doing that all over again for each of the 10 edit systems, they are going around taking each bay's system hard drive and formatting it, then cloning the drive from the first computer.
    Ok, so no big deal really since they all have to work the same and all the systems in the news dept. were bought at the same time and are all exactly the same system.
    Now the fun part. My system and my bosses weren't bought with the others and use different hardware. I use an AJA IO and my boss uses an AJA Kona LH. News dept. uses Kona LS.
    So, the clone thing shouldn't work, right?
    Yep, it didn't work and we're both losing time editting and such.
    So, I offered to take all the installation dvd's and sit here at night and upgrade both systems so that we won't wipe the drives, lose settings and valuable info, plus, it should work because the Kona settings will still be there along with my AJA IO settings. The engineers and IT guy told me that won't work. They say it will still erase the whole harddrive because it's not an upgrade, they bought the full versions of both the new Mac OSX and FCP Studio 2.
    Does this make sense? It doesn't to me and I think they're just being stubborn and stupid. All of this is being done to accommodate the new P2 HD cameras. These brilliant people didn't think about that fact that it's not compatible with the Avid I have to use half the time. So, I'm not even gonna talk about that.
    Anyway, does all this make sense? Am I wrong here?
    Help me please!
    Make Bruce proud!

  • New mac mini and imac vs powermac G5 running FCP studio

    I want to compare running the FCP suite on the new max minis and imacs that came out today vs what I am currently using:
    Currently I am running FCP Studio on a Powermac G5 dual 2GHz with one gig of ram. I believe the frontside bus is 1GHz. I believe the stock video card isan ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (AGP 8X Pro) video card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM.
    With this being said, is it safe to assume that the new entry level mac mini would surpass my G5 in terms of performnce in both video (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with128MB or 256MB of shared DDR3) memory processing (intel core2 duo 2GHz)?
    If not would the two low end Imacs (using NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of shared DDR3 memory) and processing power handle FCP studio better than my current powermac G5 setup listed above?
    I am wondering because I spoke to a apple sales person who transfered me to a system engineer that said I'd have a slow time rendering video on FCP with the mac minis as well as the 2 low end imacs. This may be but Im wondering if it is still better than what I am using
    I appreciate your opinions, but please only answer if you really know,
    Thanks!

    For FCP/FCS I would not save on anything but will get the max what my budget allow. You will be always doing more and the workflow in FCS will entice you to open almost all apps in FCS concurrently to make use of the advanced features. I think that the new iMac are powerful enough to handle FCS, but once again, the extra dollars will save you alot of pain. FCS is a pro app and is not to be underestimated. Good luck.

  • Can't load fcp studio on new macbook pro/os 10.6.2

    I just got a brand new macbook pro and wanted to load my fcp studio 1 but it is saying I don't have the proper hardware. It want tell me exactly what hardware. I just bought this computer, so I can not understand the prob. Is it the operating system---OS 10.6.2?
    I bought upgrade disks for fcp studio 2--what happens now? Has Apple made it so an older version of FCP isn't compatible with newer macBooks?

    FCP versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5 and 5 will only run on a PPC processor Mac.
    FCP versions 5.1 and 6 will run on both PPC and Intel Macs.
    FCP version 7 will only run on IntelMacs.

That's 8 years old...4 OS versions ago.  Mavericks doesn't take FCP 7 into account, much less FCP 6.  In fact, to even install FCP 6 onto the PREVIOUS OS, Mountain Lion, you had to hack the terminal, or install Pacifist and do some shenanigans to get it to recognize the installer. 
    In short, it's very difficult to get older, discontinued software to work on new computers with new OSs.  If you need to use FCP 6, then you need to stick to older computers and OS's that run it. 
    It is on your 2008 MBP because, no doubt, you upgraded the OS around the already installed apps.  I'm not sure how well it will work.

  • FCP Studio 3 install on Power Mac G5

    Anyone has tried to install the new FCP Studio 3 on a Power Mac G5 Quad computer? I have a PowerMac G5 Quad with FCP Studio 2 and want to find out wether I can upgrade to FCP Studio 3 or not?
    Thanks,
    r

    Yes a shame about the G5 I had one until it went POP at the begining of the year.
    Remember that any project created in FCP7 will not open in FCP6.
    and once a FCP6 project is updated and saved in FCP7 it won't go back- so create a duplicate project.
    have been playing with FCS3 for a couple of days now it's very good.

  • FCP (studio):  imac vs. powermac

    I am purchasing a new mac. I know using a powermac will be better,but for the price will I really see that big of a difference using the iMac(2.1) vs. the dual core 2.0? and, will the standared graphics cards offered be much different? thanks for the help!!
      Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    FCP will run on either, but if speed has any weight in your decision making, go with the faster machine. The Power Mac has always been the multi-media design workhorse, and while the iMac may reflect a few of it's attributes, it isn't the same machine.
    Having said that, I have edited on an eMac, an iBook, a Powermac G3, G4, and G5- but the faster machine always gets the job done... faster! The way I fugure it, a cheaper computer lowers my overhead, so I can charge less- but if I bill by the hour am I really saving the client any $? Also, if you are thinking of doing multiple/long projects, you will want expandability. My system software (FCP Studio, Dreamweaver, Adobe, etc.) takes up nearly half of my 150GB system drive, and my 150GB scratch drive is almost always full, and in turn overflows onto my 300GB external drive. If that isn't enough, I can easily order a few 250GB HDs and have them installed in less then five minutes due to the nature of the powermac- something I can't do with an iMac. Worth thinking about...

  • Is the latest version of FCP studio compatible with Radeon X1600 graphics..

    I read under the requirements that the latest version of FCP studio is not compatible with "integrated graphics cards"... what does that mean to me with an iMac that has a Radeon X1600 with 128MB and a bus type PCIe? Will it work?
    Thanks!

    Final Cut Studio 2 (with FCP 6) runs just fine on my 2.0 GHz 20" iMac CD, which has a 128 MB ATI Radeon X1600 with an external display (1280x1024) connected via DVI.

  • Compressor opens but am not able to transfer files from FCP studio?

    Help! I have tried installing FCP Studio (6.02) 2 to 3 times. I have tried removing Compressor from the Applications list under the library preferences.
    When I open Final Cut and highlight the sequence and then send to to Compressor, I see the Compressor title open up at the top but my files do not appear. I don't know if its corrupt or if there is a reset to cause all the windows to appear. I am able to use the drop down list to make the inspector and other windows appear but cannot find my files.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    That signals a problem with QMaster, which is most likely something you didn't remove prior to your reinstall. Apple published a document to help troubleshoot this problem, which has been linked to numerous times on this forum.

  • Moving FCP Studio from G5 to Laptop - user's license?

    I've been running FCP Studio Pro on my G5 Tower. I've just bought a MacBook Pro - to take a project on a location shoot.
    Am I legally entitled to install my 'single owner' FCP Studio on my laptop? And thus have it installed on my studio G5 and my laptop simulatneously?
    At what point do I have to buy a multiple user license?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    It's stated somewhere in the user manual or liscense agreement when you install the software that as a single liscense owner, you are allowed to install your software suite on one desktop, and one portable machine (seeing as MBP's aren't "laptops"...) so you should be fine. However, if you haven't gone through the crossgrade procedure (ie. sending in your old software discs, and paying a very reasonable fee in return for Final Cut Studio 5.1) then you will have to before installing on your MBP as 5.1 is the Universal Binary version required by the intel macs. I hope this helps
