Can't send to final cut- XML aborted import due to critical error

I'm having problems sending my color project from color back to final cut.
I'm working with HDV footage rendering in color @ full HD 1920X1080 apple pro res. I've used this work flow for now 15 episodes of a 30 minute outdoor adventure show I work on. I break the show into segments so color can handle the data better & I simplify/prep my project for color every time. It's freshly media managed- all speed changes have been swapped for QT's etc. I've never had this problem before. I tried to manually export /import XML's & I get to color fine but when I come back to final cut it tells me it aborted my XML import due to a critical error. PLEASE HELP! Produce 26 episodes a year & time is always of the essence.
The only thing I have changed since I used it & it worked fine was I updated my Decklink HD extreme drivers. Also I can open old projects & they work fine. I re-media managed & it didn't help. I also copied the sequence into a new project also without results.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. I've run out of my own.

Did you happen to have updated Color recently?

  • Final Cut Pro Cannot Import Quicktime file "File Error: Unknown file."

    Very strange. I have two .MOV files. One of which I can import into Final Cut Pro without a problem. The other gives me the error as described in the subject header.
    They have the same Codecs (H.264, AAC), were both shot with the same camera. The only difference I can see is that the one that does import has dimensions 640x480 and the one that doesnt import has dimension 1280x720. Could that be the problem?
    thanks for taking the time to help!

    Please give the complete information from the QuickTime movie inspector. Neither file should be used in FCP, but converted to a production format.

  • Send to - Final Cut Pro XML data not seeing my Color render

    Sup folks,
    As always I did some lurking on these boards and consulted the manual about this issue.
    Nada.
    I've rendered my shots. They were all queued. They were all rendered.
    When I use the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command I get the "not all your clips were rendered" warning. I click yes to see what I will get.
    FCP imports the XML data and I get nothing. All of the clips in my FCP timeline generated through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command are all of my original media prior to my color workflow. Not my graded Color renders.
    I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
    I thought that would fix my problem. It didnt.
    So again: my issue is that even with my shots all rendered correctly (i checked them in QT) the XML being sent to FCP through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command is not hooking up with my renders.
    Deadline tomorrow.
    As always,thanks for your time

    I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did >update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
    If I'm following the sequence correctly, you rendered your material to a local drive. Then you moved it, changed the paths (in COLOR), and then tried to "Send to... FCP". Is this correct? If so, doomed to failure. In your case, you may have even moved an empty folder.
    There is an ironclad and non-negotiable series of events in rendering and initiating the roundtrip. Many users regard this as a "bug". One of the first things that a user should always do is set up all the target paths before even doing the first grade. But it is essential that the target render path be set up PRIOR to loading the Render Queue. COLOR creates the receiving folder at that time, and that is where the media will go no matter what you do after the RenderQueue is loaded. Change the path, change the format... change whatever you want... the deal has been done, and all will be ignored. However, once the media is rendered and you choose Send To... FCP, then the original XML that FCP sent will be modified by COLOR and passed back to Final Cut. COLOR does NOT,repeat, NOT generate EDLs, XMLs, or any of that stuff. It only modifies original lists. That you modified the Media, Render and Project paths (probably only in the User Preferences tab) is meaningless once the project has been rendered. The Render path for this individual project is determined in the Project Settings pane, along with the render dimensions and format. However, COLOR will observe a path change AFTER the render, and edits the XML re-export to try to find the media in the newly named directory. Of course, your media is actually elsewhere, and you get a blank sequence.
    Lastly, make sure that you SAVE the project after renders, to retain the "rendered" clip status -- or COLOR won't remember any of this.

  • Missing all export options in Adobe Premiere (can only export to final cut pro xml). Where are the options?

    Missing all export options in Adobe Premiere (can only export to final cut pro xml). Where are the options?

    There never was a trial version of FCP7. The application was only ever sold as part of the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. You might still find copies on eBay.

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road.

  • Can't export because of Error -50 but can't upgrade my final cut because of video card?

    So I updated to mavericks later to find out you can't export in final cut pro unless you upgrade the software, my problem is that when I try to upgrade the software it says "you do not have the required graphics card"
    So I'm stuck. What can I do? I Simply cannot export using any option  as I either get a compressor error -50 or nothing happens at all.
    I can't update the software. I can't export.
    APP NAP IS OFF

    If the problem is with the graphics card then here is a list of compatible cards: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    What computer are you using? If it is an older Mac Pro 1,1 to 3,1 (early 2008) then the ATI Radeon HD 5770 should work. This is the one I've used and it has 1GB of memory. The more graphics card memory available the better. I read one account where a person had to go to 2GB of memory to avoid the spinning beachball but who knows what other resources he had tied up. For myself, I have a video-only machine and the Internet is disconnected when I'm editing and the 1GB worked perfectly fine. Oh, and with only 8 GB of RAM.
    The 5770 cost $249 with free shipping about two years ago. Recommend not using a "flashed" card.
    As for what to do for the interim, one suggestion would be to copy the Project to an external drive and find someone who would be willing to finish the share process. Other than that, it looks like you'll be dead in the water until the video card issue is resolved.

  • Send to Final Cut Pro in Color off an external Hard Drive, causes Color to Crash

    Okay, so I'm having some Color issues guys...
    I'm color correcting a feature right now, and just completed the CC with Color. I did the entire color correct on an internal hard drive on a Mac Pro. My client wanted to take a look at the CC on a different machine, so I transferred all of the FCP files, Color Projects, footage, etc. (the ENTIRE directory from my machine) onto an external hard drive....
    ...When I opened the color project from the external drive on his machine, all of my media was gone, so of course I reconnected the media (directly from the source, the same source files I edited with in FCP), and everything was fine. My grades were there, and everything looked great....
    ....I rendered my Color sequence and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and color crashed on me. It continued to do this....
    ....I went back to my machine and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and everything worked just fine. What went wrong with the data transfer? Is that the reason Color keeps crashing? Is it because I relinked the footage in Color to the original source files? It doesn't make sense to me. All of the data from the original drive was moved to an external and relinked.
    I'm pretty new to Color so any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
    -Chris

    Copy the original project and media to the external drive using Media Manager. It will maintain the links.

  • Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

    Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.

  • Can I capture with Final Cut Pro and edit in Premiere Pro?

    Since it appears that Premiere has issues with capture - at least for me but as I see it for others as well - and that I can capture with iMovie, can I consider using Final Cut Pro for capture - then cross to Adobe Premiere and the suite for editing, finalizing ? Or is there a problem to copy the shots/files from one program to the other (would they remain identified clearly so I could just import shots into Premiere afterward ?)
    Thanks
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    When you capture HDV in FCP it creates a specific Apple HDV codec. This is a codec that is only available if FCP, Motion or Compressor is installed.
    The two workarounds would be to use Premiere Pro on the Mac with one of the above mentioned apps installed on the same system or convert to a codec that can be read in Premiere.
    Best,
