Avid to FCP User Questions...

Hi,
I recently made the switch from Avid to FCP - loving it so far, by the way. I have a few transition questions if someone can help me. These are things I've done fluently on the Avid and can't seem to find it in the manual.
1. How do you mix audio levels and pans in the timeline for multiple clips? On MC, I set in and out point for the range of clips and move the level for it up and they all go up. Can't seem to do this in FCP.
2. If I'm working in a 48K/16bit sequence and import audio to the bin, (or video too) is the only way to change the sample rate by exporting it with the sequence setting and then re-importing it? This seems like a lot of extra work if you have many clips. In Avid, it changes it simply in the menu.
3. If I wanted to delete effects and transitions on multiple clips in the timeline, how do I do this? In the Avid, I would select the range of clips and then simply hit delete.
Thanks in advance,
Eddie

1. Highlight all the audio you want to effect...then type CONTROL-] to raise +3db...Control-[ to lower 3db. And Control + and - to raise 1db at a time.
2. NOt sure what you mean here. Are you asking how do youconvert the audio to 48k 16-bit stereo for use in the sequence? Convert it BEFORE you get to your sequence. iTunes does this for music, as does Compressor, which also does this for ANY audio.
3. Delete only the transitions and not the clips? Avid might have FCP there.

FCP user preference question

I got a project from overseas, gotta fly there to edit a video. they provide my basic facilities.
I used to edit on my own machine....because the short cuts and whole the favorite effects and transitions that I saved in my FCP.
So my question is, since I gonna shift my FCP user preference files to another FCP, do they affect other editor's preferences. I am pretty sure on the FCP, there are lots of preference settings that other editors made.
in particular, let's say my shiftcontrol2 is 3 ways color correction tool, but on the computer that I am going to use might not be the color 3 ways, it might be some other functions...
can i just save their preference in a folder, and put my preference in , and after i am done, and put back their preference..?
thanks for your advice and suggestion in advance,
your help is highly appreciated

You can use FCP Rescue to backup FCP preferences file and restore it later:
http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
Or you can do it manually:

Hope that helps !

A FCP user gave me .mov's that PP CS5 cant open, what can I do? (File link enclosed)

A FCP shooter gave me .mov's that PP CS5 cant open, what can I do? I guess she rewrapped the files because as they try to import into cs5 a FCP loading diologe box opens stating: Importing FCP XML.... Afterwards it says i dont have the codec necc.
I'm PC based only.
Here is a link to a short clip that can be downloaded.
I'm really stuck here guys. Cant reach the shooter.
The 5 second clip can be seen & downloaded from Vimeo:
http://vimeo.com/27230969

If you tried XD Decode you must think that they originated as XDCam then, right? That is the codec I had to buy and once it was installed everything was transparent and normal. So I'm not sure what the crashing is all about, assuming your system meets the minimal tech. requirements. I'd give it another try if you haven't already.
Your best hope would be to locate the original camera files, which could very well have been deleted following the .mov copying via the Mac. I've had no problem with native XDCam in Premiere. The next best solution might be to have that FCP user do the conversions to another file format you can use. Hopefully there aren't thousands of them.
Firstodd, that's very interesting that your Avid MC was able to work with those files. I just found this from an Avid doc of last year: "If you want to play the exported movie in QuickTime, you need to purchase a third-party QuickTime plug-in. Avid recommends the Calibrated{Q} XD Decode from Calibrated Software"
Still, for the $80 I spent a year ago, XD Decode was well worth it in time saved. I see the price has gone up $50 since then though.

Comments for FCP users

While I'm in need to upgrade my little ibook (rendering takes forever) I wanted to get the opinions of people who use Adobe/ QT Pro/ and mainly FCP users who routinely use this machine for work.
Obviously, the one I'm interested in is the full blown 2.1 Ghz maxed out to the 2.5 Ram.
So if anyone already has this config and wants to tell the world how good/ not-so-good it is for rendering and major aps. please let me know all about it.

What a fantastic ANSWER.
Great reply. Can't wait to post soon.

Premiere CS4 "Save As" for Avid or FCP

Hello,
Is there a way to save my composition or sequence for Avid or FCP .
My buddy works with Avid and FCP and he wants me to send him my composition or sequence so can work on it.
I use Premiere CS4.
Thanks

Ex Malterra,
> I'm curious as to which versions CS4 can save an FLA as.
Flash CS4 can save FLAs as CS4- and CS3-compatible files.
(By
comparison, Flash CS3 is able to save CS3- and 8-compatible
files. Flash 8
can save 8- and MX 2004-compatible files, and so on, back.
Always the
current version and the version before.)
> some customers require the version to be 8. For this and
> other reasons we need to be mindful when considering
> upgrading.
It can get tedious, but if you're using CS4 and want to save
for Flash
8, you'll have to Save As CS3, then open that file in CS3 and
Save As 8.
Keep in mind -- and this isn't new to CS4 -- you always risk
losing features
when you save to a previous version of Flash. For example,
Flash 8
introduced blend modes. If you use those and try to save your
file as an MX
2004 file, you'll lose that particular feature.
> Also, will CS4 allow us to create files as either AS2
(gotta
> have that Tree component!) or AS3 in the same way that
> CS3 does?
Yes. Flash CS4 supports all the versions of ActionScript as
Flash CS3.
That said, you can always use 3rd party components to meed
your needs, if it
comes to that. The Yahoo! Developer Network features free
(BSD license) AS3
UI components for Flash here, including a Tree:

FCP user settings in Lion

I'm trying to put my FCP user settings into the Library > FCP user data folder, but in Lion there does not appear to be any such folder as there was in previous operating systems.
This is my first time working with a system with Lion installed. Can anyone provide any assistance on how to install my settings?
Thank you!

The User Name/Library directory is hidden by default in Lion.
To bring it back permanently, open Terminal and enter this command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Then press Return. You can copy/paste the command from this reply if you want.
To get temporary access, bring Finder to the front and click the Go menu bar item then Go to Folder.
Type ~/Library then click the Go button.

Re: (forte-users) Question-Minimizing Windows onstartup

I am not sitting in front of a Win95 machine currently, but I think I
remember a setting on the Shortcut tab in the Properties notebook about the
application, that allows you to Run the app either as 'Normal Window',
'Minimized', or 'Maximized.'

MM end user QUESTION WEBSITE

Can you please refer any MM -enduser Question & ans reference website

Hi Sameer, you are a the best place to know the real life issues faced by consultant. I don't see any other place where end user questions are listed. I would suggest you to discuss the business processes with your seniors/ colleagues. Spend some time on SDN where you actually see the what kind of real life problems may come during implementation (yeah, you can treat them as end user problems). Last but not the least ... think logical ... you'll surely be able swim once thrown in water

I would set the completion event for the display method of the new window and
register to this event in the main window as you see in the attached .pex file.
With this solution it is possible to handle a failor in the new window in order
to bahave like the normal completion and cause the deletion of the input element
in the main window.

Bobby,
The simplest solution I think would be to use grids and map them to some business class - which I suppose you must be already using. In the event handler of the first window (button.click event) after you call the display method of the second window you can new the business class.

I have a frame with a button on it that will open up another frame. When I
close the second frame by pressing the X in the top right hand corner, I
want to clear all the data on the first screen. I have been trying all
sorts of things without success. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how
to do this?

Interest in a Tampa Bay Area FCP Users Group?

I'd be interested in starting a Tampa Bay (Florida) Area FCP Users Group if anyone is interested.
Any takers?

Sure I'm interested, but making the meetings would be a bear.

Avid to FCP 5 with Automatic Duck Pro Import

Hi, I just successfully imported a full movie project into FCP 5 from Avid using Automatic Duck. Everything went pretty well but after the batch capture I began reconnecting my files and
ran into a couple of problems.
I should say that Automatic Duck is AWESOME. It saved me a month of work.
Here is the problem: As I said when I reconnect most of the time it is fine. But there have been some instances when I reconnect a clip and it actually shortens the length of the offline clip in the timeline. This is a serious problem because sometimes it cuts off dialogue that I need. A less frequent problem but no less annoying is when I reconnect and the clip is attached to a wrong scene all together.
I can only assume that it is the transfer of information between Avid and FCP project files. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Direct your problem to Automatic Duck. Wes Plate who posted earlier in this thread is Automatic Duck. They (or he) will help. I had a problem with my installation and I got an answer almost immediately. Oh, the problem I was having. My client gave me the receipt number not the serial number. Please post back with the resolution of your problem.
It is a fantastic product. My client bought the export component so we could get all our audio automation info out to ProTools. A quick look at the error log showed me exactly where the problems were (nested material). I fixed the nests, rexported and it was perfect. This is a very rare occurence with software.

Avid to FCP comparison graphs or charts

Is there no quick charts to map what an avid icon looks like and the equivalent fcp icon?
If I wanted to lock the source (viewer) monitor to the record (canvas) monitor what would I use in fcp?
Is there a book that clearly describes the functions from avid to fcp? I am not having any luck with Final Cut Pro for Avid Editors.

I took a bit different approach than Jim when coming over to FCP. As an editor who uses both Avid and FCP on a regular basis I found that the most basic commands, mark IN, OUT, go to IN, OUT, clear IN, OUT and stuff like that that I do over and over each day, I mapped my FCP keyboard to match Avid as closely as I could. When it comes to basic everyday workflow and media management, I find Avid works better. When it comes to effects and integration with other apps, FCP is the hands down choice. As for a direct comparisons.... here are 2 articles.
This was written by Patrick Inhofer and is very nice:

I wrote a follow up on my blog detailing some of the "simpler" things between the two apps:

But the debate will rage on as long as both apps exist.

Any success or regret stories about a total switch from Avid to FCP?

Any success or regret stories about a total switch from Avid to FCP?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Final Cut Studio 5.1

I'm currently working on a job in a facility that has 3 FCP systems and uses Terrablock networked storage. I was 3 months here so I saw a lot of the good and bad with this system. It's Fiber channel so quite fast but there were a lot of issues with the compability of the OS. When working it worked well. The Avid Unity systems are very solid and proven.
The biggiest issue I have with FCP in this enviroment is it's great if you keep a project on the same system but when you start moving edits around then you get into the media managment limitations of FCP. A large project with lots of media, audio, gfx of different types, lots of renders, can be a pain when moving and reconnect on a different system. In theory it should be flawless as you point back to the proper folders and drives but it rarely is. It can be done is just takes time. And the better the editor is with his/her media managment then the easier it is. Avid's media managment works much different so by nature it's a bit easier in the networked world. We'll see what FCP has at NAB to make this better.
Bottom line, FCP vs. Avid is a debate that will rage. I use and enjoy them both on an almost weekly basis so I can argue the + an - of both. They are both tools, same buttons, different places.

Beginning Questions for FCP user

Hi - I'm new to FCP (have used Premiere and Avid in past) and I have several questions. I have an Aja Kona 3 system with breakout box and want to know if it's possible to view HD footage captured on a Sony HD EX1 on my NTSC monitor? What should my Audio/Video setting be? I have 2 30"Apple HD cinema monitors and a Sony NTSC monitor.
Also - Do I always want to edit in the native format that I shot footage in when it comes to HD? This is my first time working w/HD, so I'm a bit confused, as I have a project that requires me to mix HD and SD footage, but I'm used to watching SD footage on an external NTSC monitor in real time.
Also - when worked with 24p SD footage in the past, I always had to do a 3:2 pulldown in After Effects - is this not necessary to do with HD footage now to manipulate it?
What does anyone recommend for my sequence timeline settings in general then? thanks -

Yes, the Kona3 can down convert HD to NTSC, those settings are controlled with the AJA control panel.
Your video settings (typically) should match the settings of (the majority of) your captured footage settings.
With the possible exception of HDV (in combination with the power of your computer) yes, you should typically edit in the native format of your footage when possible.
If your using a mix of HD and SD you'd base your settings on the desired end product, HD or SD.
You can not mix frame rates within a sequence. If you shot 24p set your sequence to 24p.
Sequence settings, in general, should match your captured footage native settings.
