Color Crashing sending back to Final Cut

Well that's pretty much it. I have tried to export an XML. It still does the same thing. Any one else haveing this problem
Phil

I don't have an exact answer but an approach for you to troubleshoot...
The first thing to try: From FCP "Send to Color". Save. Then immediately round-trip and "Send to FCP". If Color is crashing during export or during the Send To operation, there's a timeline problem. Assuming you've gone through the latest release notes and have cleaned up your timeline from known issues - you can then try to break your show in half, send each half independently and see if one of them is able to make the immediate roundtrip. And keep halving until you've isolated the issue in the timeline that's giving you a problem.
If the immediate round-trip does work, then it's likely not a timeline problem but a project problem. You can try to create a new project, import the grades from the previous project, then render and Send to FCP.
Also, see how many edits are in your timeline. Color seems to choke sometime in the 800-1200 edit mark.
Finally, Color seems optimized for particular codecs. I'd seriously consider getting out of DVCPro HD and using the ProResHD codec. So many people have been complaining about roundtrip problems with DVCPro HD I'm starting to think it's best to avoid it when CCing in Color... but that's just a hunch.

Color gives progressive video instead of interlaced back to Final Cut

Hi. I'm just learning to use Color and I have a little problem with it. I have a XDCAM EX 1080i50 Final Cut sequence which I've sent to Color. After doing all the color corrections I told Color to send it back to Final Cut (after rendering of course) but the video is not interlaced anymore and it looks really bad progressive video. I don't really need progressive video because this goes to tv.
I have noticed that there is an option in Colors Setup to Deinterlace Renders and Previews but it is turned off and I have even tried to put interlace FX but it doesn't help either.
So how could I get Interlaced video out from Color?
Thanks
Mikko

Hi JP / Mikko,
I found a workaround for the de-interlace issue when you have lots of different scales/distorts/etc that you don't want to either bake in or remove and reapply.
- Prep sequence and send to Color (or export/import EDL) as usual (no need to remove scales/distorts/rotations as you may have done before).
- Leave P&S settings untouched and do your grade
- Save a "with P&S" archive of your project within Color
- Reset geometries on a clip, copy to all, save, close, reopen, scan through the sequence in the geometry room to confirm that none of the clips have a red border (rather than white), render grades.
- Then reload your "with P&S" archive within Color and send your sequence back to FCP (or export and import XML). On reloading the archive, Color will warn you that it will remove your renders, but this doesn't seem to be the case (maybe it refers to DPX or still sequence projects ... if you're scared you could always back them up or "hide" them and move them back)
You should then end up with a sequence in final cut with all your motion attributes and fields intact. We tried this on a 3x60 min programme with lots of 4:3 footage ARC'd in a 16:9 sequence and it worked perfectly.

Error sending multi-track project back to Final Cut Pro, can't open XML

I am an experienced Final Cut Pro user but just tried using Soundtrack Pro for the first time on a real project. I sent the audio from my Final Cut sequence to a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, added a few effects and created some fade-ins and fade-outs, and then tried to Export back to Final Cut.
I selected "File > Export", named my file and selected "After Export > Send files to Final Cut Pro sequence."
Now in Final Cut an error appears that says "The document “Name.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro XML File” format."
Am I crazy or is something wrong happening here? I can get the exported audio files to appear in my sequence if I select "File > Import > XML" in Final Cut, but after this whole process Final Cut seems to be functioning unreliably (after closing Final Cut and re-opening, I even once got a similar error that said "Final Cut cannot open files in the Final Cut Pro Project File format", which is obviously crazy).
Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi,
i have the same situation. expirienced in fcp, new in soundtrack pro.
similar message. did you find an solution ?

Sending Audio Files back to Final Cut pro, nothing.

Simple issue:
I send from Final Cut Pro To Sound track pro some audio files along with the clip.
I edit it in Sound track Pro, and save (just like in the tutorial) then I quit.
I go back to Final Cut Pro and what do you know, the file that I sent HAS NOT BEEN EDITED!
Some one help.

I tried the same thing earlier in the year, and when the sound came back into FCP, it was corrupted!
Since then, I don't know if this is a good option, but it seems to work fine:
Once I have finished my editing in FCP, I export the soundtrack into an AIFF. I edit the AIFF via STP, and when finished, import it back into FCP.
I'm not experienced enough to know if this method is bad, but it has worked well for me!

Color grading send back to FCP

In Color, after I've graded my shots and send them back to final cut - they appear more saturated and 'muckier' than ever in the canvas window and nothing like as clean or as sharp as in color after I've graded them. Any ideas?

Actually when I view the clip that was in the canvas in the editor - I think it looks alright (I don't have a production monitor - I'm working solely from a 27' Apple Imac. Is it just the way it appears in the color window as opposed to the editor/canvas. In the editor it still looks slightly soft but maybe I'm seeing things and that's the way it's supposed to be. The canvas looks terrible though - am I supposed to do something to it?
Thanks.

Color not sending back all the video lines.

I am working on a color project that is pretty in depth. I finished rendering all the clips but when I send it back to final cut it only send v2 and v3. V1 just comes back unrendered and uncorrected. I hope I am clear enough. any help would be great.

On the COLOR timeline, what is the range of clip numbers on V1?
What is the range of clip numbers on V2/V3?
Can you search for .movs that correspond to these clip ranges, specifically, media with names like 1_g1.mov, etc. If the media is being rendered, you will find it this way, and lets go from there.

When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor using local QCluster

When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by way of Share and using the local QCluster, the audio renders, but the video errors out saying something along the lines of Can not locate file.
If I use 'This Computer' it works fine.
What gives?
Fresh install of OS and FCS.
Thanks!

I'm just learning the intricacies of Compressor and Qmaster myself, but I have learned that when you use Qmaster you can not share directly from FCP. You must export a Quicktime movie (reference movie seems to be fine) and input that to Compressor. This is only an issue when using Qmaster, as you've seen.

Final cut to photoshop to after effects back to final cut problem

Hello there,
I shall explain my problem.
I am working with three different programs. Finla cut 7, photoshop, and after effects.
I have taken a jpeg still from final cut to work in photoshop.
In phtoshop I have layered a project to work in after effects to make an animation.
The animation is then exported back from after effects into final cut.
When I do this I realise that the dimensions of the animation differs from the original sequence from where the still was taken.
I work with PAL.
The still from the sequence is 768 x 576. I create a still using 'export- Using quick time conversion'. I do not understand why the image obtained does not have the format 720x576 as it says the film sequences have in final cut pro settings.
When I edit it in photoshop, I create an image that has the 'film-video' setting but the image still does not match the frame. I have noticed there was the setting PAL1/DV square pixel but it still does not match the original format after editing in after effect.
Why is this?
Thank you

Hello mylenium,
Thank you very much for the link.
I now manage to have the same image size when working in final cut.
I hope you do not mind me asking another question. I seem to lose a little bit of resolution. Could this be because i transfer an image worked onto photoshop to after effect and then back to final cut?
I have changed the file dimension before importing it into after effect (from 768x576 to 720x576) and i export the after effect file using quick time in the setting, thus reimporting a .mov file into final cut.
Thx
Best

Hi, I accidentally deleted a project in trash. How do I get it back into final cut pro X. It is still sitting in trash,

Hi, I accidentally deleted a project in trash. How do I get it back into final cut pro X. It is still sitting in trash.

If your working on an external hard drive, just drag/drop back in the Final Cut Projects folder, and re-open FCPX

What is the proper way to back up Final Cut Pro x

What is the proper way to back up Final Cut Pro x?
Final Cut Pro X & Motion 5 are the only two programs I do not have a hard copy for.
Click and dragging the files from the applications folder to an external harddrive seems to simple to be correct.
Are their additional folders or actions that are required to back up these software?
I'm having problems and was instructed to back up all files ASAP before taking my iMac (mid 2010) to the Apple store for treatment.
Please help!

Most apps from the Mac App Store are simple drag & drop installation. DId FCPX or M5 just download to your Mac or was there an installer app involved? If they just donwloaded, then dragging them to backup media should be enough. If there was an installer, then you should backup the installer. But these apps aren't going to disappear from the Mac App Store in the short time that your Mac is in a repair shop.

Can I import a Final Cut Pro X project back into Final Cut 7?

I want to go back to Final Cut 7 (Studio '09) from Final Cut Pro X, but I've already started work in Final Cut Pro X, and I'm worried that my FCP X timelines won't open in FCP 7. Does anyone know?

big no on that one Im afraid, at some point in the future FCPX may export xml but not yet, your project (timeline) is pretty much quarantined inside FCPX, I'd bite the bullet and finish it there if I were you
cheers

Problem saving back to Final Cut Pro

I'm sending clips from Final Cut to Soundrack, editing them, saving the changes in STP. But the changes are not reflected in the FCP clips. I re-save in STP, and FCP gives me a signal that media is missing. When I reconnect to the saved STP file, the clip's in and out points are misaligned in FCP. Just in case you are wondering: I've left both programs open for the procedure, they're stored in the same directory, and the sample rate for both is set to 48000 hz. Can anyone help?

sounds like your settings in motion are incorrect re frame size.
if I were using motion to do things I would view "fields" and use field rendering of any project then import the rendered quicktime out of motion and drop that in my FCP sequence. If changes are needed i reopen motion fix the offending parts and output again. FCP renders frames and sometimes panning and zooming can stutter when frame rendered.

Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence. Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files. I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right. Here's what I've done to force the issue. Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp. Create a new project. import the audio in the new project. And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project.
Good luck

DVD back to Final Cut Pro

So basically we have made a DVD movie and would like to convert it back into Final Cut Pro for later editing at times. Is this possible and if so how is it done? Would you use a program like Popcorn, DVD Shrink etc. to rip the DVD and then import some type of file back into FCP? Thanks in advance.
