Color graded sequence won't export back into fcp as an xml or send to

Hi,
I've finished a film and graded it. when everything is rendered, I export using either send to or as an xml. Both stop at around 50%. on the xml I get the following report.
I started out at a 20 min sequence then a ten minute sequence now I'm down to 5 minutes. i've got a 146 minute movie to grade and get back into fcp.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
Peter

The order of execution is confusing me.
On your first attempt, you tried sending the entire 146 minute project, graded and rendered it. Correct?
On Send To FCP, the XML failed... (hardly surprising)
This is where I get lost. Are you creating new, shorter versions, grading them and attempting to round trip the short sequences? and... if this is so, how are you differentiating these from the original monster failure? Do you have new render directories, paths, XMLs? Once an XML has been sent, it must not be re-used or re-sent or it will start appearing as ambiguous clones with conflicting path references.
And 146 minutes is too long for any single subject unless it is a remake of Warren Beatty's "Reds" or "Spending a little over two hours on a beach with Jessica Alba" so make it shorter... ;-P This is an undocumented feature of COLOR. No, really!

  • Media Offline when Exporting back to FCP from STP. Lesson 10 in APTS book.

    Hello, I am going through the Apple Pro Training Series Book by Martin Sitter found a road block in Lesson 10. The topic is conforming at that seems to work decently (except for garbled text in the right side of the Conform tab). My issue is when trying to export back to FCP. I choose to Send Files to FCP sequence. A new sequence is created in the selected project as expected. The audio is fine, but instead of using the video from the correct sequence, it seems to be trying to use clips from the older sequence. Additionally, all the video clips show up as Media Offline. I can reconnect media, but the problem is that it is the wrong video sequence. Oddly, in STP the video looks perfect. Is there an error in the metadata? can this be fixed or prevented? Thank you

    Barreltone,
    I am exporting back into Final Cut Pro via Send to Sequence. I have been exporting from the browser of FCP (sequence), and not the timeline (clips). I'm going to try that tactic, and see if that works.

  • PROBLEM SOLVED "export clips from Color back into FCP & add transition"

    If I have two clips that you cannot place a transition in between here is the only thing that worked for me.
    I discovered this problem after I exported my movie clips from FCP 6 to Color and imported the color corrected files from Color back into FCP 6. I could no longer add transitions to any of my clips unless I made the following changes.
    1. 1st check to see if the video clip has an audio track underneath it. If they are not linked Select the audio and the video track to be linked, hit Command "L" and you will see an underline under the audio and video name to show that they are now linked. Do the same for the adjoining video and audio track.
    2. Next select all of the clips after the video clip you just selected by typing "tttt" this changes to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool". Click on the track after the video track you just linked and it will select all of the tracks thereafter. Hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and move all of the selected tracks away from the previous video/audio track.
    3. Next type "RR" this will change to the "Ripple" tool. Now click on end of the video track on the previous video clip and type -15 (for negative 15 frames). Then click on the beginning of other video clip to the right that you linked and type +15 (for plus 15 frames).
    4. Type "tttt" to change back to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool" the hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and drag all tracks back together again.
    5. You may then drag and drop your transition in between both video clips.
    I hope this helps someone...this is the only thing that worked for me!!!

    I am working with mostly DVCPro ftg, with a few clips in MiniDV.  I did have roughly 10 clips with speed changes, but they exported fine two weeks ago, when I did this the first time.  (Actually, it didn't keep the speed changes, but it did export with media to FCP). 
    The clips do have reel numbers and seem to be of the right length per clip but there's just no picture and no assoicated media with which to relink the clip.
    I'm on Color 1.5.3
    Any possible ideas?  Thank you for your help...

  • Audio help wanted exporting to QT and back into FCP.

    I have a sequence with live sound on A1 and A2, music on A3 and A4 and some extra voice on A5 and A6. I have gone into audio outputs and clicked "6 outputs" and "dual mono" for each and tried checking all the options for "Discrete channels" "Stereo down mix" etc. Whatever happens when I reimport the QT movie into a fcp sequence I get the 6 tracks but the whole mix always ends up of 1 and 2 with the other tracks blank. How can I get all the tracks to carry accross individually all the way?

    I've sent a test to the broadcaster using this method. When I reimported the QT file back into FCP it was possible to separate the live sound from the music etc. I'll have to hope it's OK otherwise I'll have to do the odd suggestion of the editor of converting all the audio files to AIFF and re-laying them into the project and then exporting the whole lot as a QT file.

  • Sequence won't export in quicktime movie

    I have Final Cut Express and for some reason a sequence won't export into a Quicktime movie, but a Final Cut Express movie file.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Thanks
    Barry

    Thank you both for the input.
    I didn't realize this. This was the first time the file I exported didn't have the Quicktime icon, or named a Quicktime File.
    Does this type of file still work on Internet sites like Facebook?
    Much appreciated.

  • Hard drive won't go back into place

    This is the third time I'm doing this, but this time my HD with the skate thing won't go back into the slot, it fights back and every other time there's some sort of glue residue that comes attached to it.
    I've read it somewhere that this is a glue that's originally somewhere inside the slot but with the heat it liquifies and moves around.
    Is there any safe way I can clean this? Or is it a glue problem at all? I had no problem removing the old one, btw. And, yeah, I'm sure I'm doing this correctly, as unfortunately, this is not my first HD replacement.

    Thanks, Nick.
    Well, it's there, I didn't glue it back because I didn't know what sort of glue to use and I figure this region gets really hot, so it shouldn't be just any kind of glue. I just slid the hd in with it, it's as good as glued.
    A hint here: if you close the upper case just a bit wrong, chances are your dvd drive won't work anymore, it will start spitting discs and behaving like it's broken.
    I for one wouldn't advise anyone opening the macbook case, it's absolutely painful and a lot can go wrong. But if you, like me, wasn't satisfied with the Apple Care service - here in Brasil the service provider I sent my mb to changed my battery for an older one and dented one of the tips of the battery case to the point it lost it's color - and you have a spare mac (I have a Core Duo mini, then good luck!

  • I need some advice on replacing my ipod touch 4th generation screen. The silver plate won't go back into it's original place and i can't put the screws back in. I really need help i don't want my ipod to be broken!!!

    I started to replace my ipod 4g screen but the silver plate that goes on top of the battery won't go back into place. It's not lining up with the screw holes so i can't finish the repair. Please I'm begging you all to help me with some advice and tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be greatly appreeciated. ASAP

    Your best bet is to email the company that sold you the screen for advice.  Or you could search on YouTube for repair instructions.  Hopefully, you will see where you went wrong.  Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement on an iPod that has been opened.

  • Exporting back to FCP?

    Hello All,
    I'm putting the final touches on a short documentary. This is my first time trying to do the sound properly by working with STP.
    I have sent my FCP file to STP. I then work on it (in multitrack mode). When finished, I export it to FCP. I place it in the same file location as all my other assets concerning sound. From the tutorials I have taken, I am expecting the new mix to appear on the project as a master mix, with the individual sections that makeup the whole available, but deselected.
    This isn't happening. Nothing happens on the FCP window other than the file appears in the browser. If I click that file, it says, "not available".
    I'm sure I'm doing one important step incorrectly, but have reached the frustrating point of repeating the same wrong this over and over.
    Your help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Color profile off when importing motion proj into FCP

    Color profile off when importing motion proj into FCP. Is there a way to set the profile?
    I deleted preferences in FCP.

    No, profile do many things. It is a color space. It allows different apps and systems to view colors the same. Also fcp typically works in a tub color space not rgb.

  • OMF back into FCP

    Sent an OMF from FCP to audio post house for mixing many moons ago and now need to make amendments.
    I have original pictures but need to reimport the audio back to FCP and I only have the OMF available
    How can I get the OMF audio back into FCP with all the original edit points on the audio
    instead of continuous tracks containing the clips?

    Hi Dave,
    thanks for your response. I've tried doing that and haven't had any luck. It's dawned on me that there a probably two good reasons why the audio is identical on left and right channels.
    1. The first is that the J3 I originally diged from had previously been set to centre all audio. The deck was on hire so it's not unlikely. Normally you can toggle between channels on the front J3 panel 'Audio' button - but I now reckon that someone had adjusted the setting within the menu system. This is something I hadn't thought of at the time.
    2. If this isn't the case, the sound recordist may have recorded everything in mono. Soon after I posted the question, the director of the film mentioned that the recordist had mentioned something to this effect but she wasn't absolutely sure.
    I'm going to test a couple of the digibeta rushes at work tomorrow and find out.
    If the tapes are stereo and I did mis-capture them, then I still have the problem of re-batch diging them from Avid. I'm also now thinking that the best thing to do is splash he cash and just hire a J3 for a day and batch conform through FCP.
    Thanks again for your post, any other solutions would be appreciated!

  • Trouble with iPodrip - won't come back into iTunes, just to hard drive

    This question may be simple to answer, but I am racking my brain and becoming more frustrated. Used iPodrip to get my music back into iTunes from my iPod, but it wouldn't bring it into iTunes and their support was no help so I tried to bring it back just to the hard drive instead and that worked. Problem is, now I have 5200 songs sitting on my hard drive and since they are not in the iTunes library I get the error that the original wasn't found and would I like to find it. Even if I drag all the files into the iTunes library it does this. Anyone with a quick solution other than going into each music file and re-routing the directory?

    Thanks, Nick.

  • Cannot export back to FCP

    I have a sequence that I mixed in STP. I have tried exporting the sequence back to FCP by using EXPORT>SEND FILES TO FCP SEQUENCE (worked before but not now). I have also saved it on the Desktop as a aiff file, but when I try to import it in FCP it says there is a file error and won't open.
    I have sent the file from FCP to STP multiple times because I thought that the send off might be the problem but there is still no difference.
    If I export from STP I can open the sequence in FCP and it looks mixed but there is absolutely no audio, not even the waveforms.
    Any idea what is going on or what I can do to solve this?

    Check your firewire cable. shouldnt be any difference between printing to video on 4.5 or 5. Or perhaps its something else. I am honestly aware of many problems I and some others are having with Tiger / FCP 5, this is not one of them that I'm aware of.

  • Sent FCP project to Soundtrack Pro but how do I get it back into FCP?

    Hi everyone,
    I just sent to project from FCP to Soundtrack Pro and now I am wondering how do I send the Soundtrack project back to FCP with the audio adjustments?
    I know this is possible I'm just having a barin ** moment today.
    Thanks

    this is your work flow...
    1 ctrl click on audio> send to soundtrack pro audio file
    2 in soundtrack pro make the neccessary adjustments (noise reduction by any chance?). apply filter
    3 save the soundtrack project...
    when you save the soundtrack project, it automatically swaps the old audio file in FCP for the new 'sent' audio file... you don't have to 'export' from soundtrack to get the audio to FCP...
    You won't actually notice the change in audio in FCP until you save the soundtrack project, and are working back in FCP.

  • Problems sending audio to and from STP and then back into FCP

    I am having problems getting audio clips back into FCPro 5 after sending them to STP and editing them.
    This is my process: "Send" mono file to STP as new audio project file.
    Save it in the dialog that opens with "sent" at the end...then it opens in STP.
    Edit it.
    Save it and select include audio source files.
    Switch back to FCPRo and I have a warning "Some Files Went offline", namely the one I just sent to Soundtrack. The clip is now apparently offline and white colored but now has the file name with "sent" included.
    Where did I go wrong? This was working for me previously.

    Hi Blearyeyes,
    I was just relaying what I've heard about the media going offline--I didn't claim that it made sense to me in these sorts of workflows where you know you are changing the media in STP, because you've just sent it to STP to be modified.
    I've since dug through the FCP manuals, and it looks like it's the FCP rules about when a clip is considered to be offline that we're hitting--in the User Manual Part 2, on pages 79-80 there are some details about what causes the clip to go offline.
    Here is one of the key statements from page 80--a clip is considered offline, "when a media file is modified, moved, or deleted, the modification date of the media file is changed, or the scratch disk becomes unavailable."
