Compressor doesn't import AC3 from FCP

Hi,
I am trying to export my project from FCP into Compressor 2 to encode as MPEG 2 + AC3. The video compresses fine, but the audio file doesn't play in DVD SP. If I export to Quicktime (source settings) from FCP, and encode in Compressor, I get 2 good files...but now my chapter markers are lost. It appears that the export from FCP as QT looses the chapter markers ( when I open the QT file using the QT app. I see <CUT> where the first chapter marker should be and it remains throughout the rest of my project.
I want to make a simple multi chapter video with AC3 audio and it seems to be very tricky.
Thanks

Are you sure you're inserting <CHAPTER> markers in your FCP movie? If not, you have to add a "marker" then "edit" and choose "chapter" on the edit menu. I usually export a "reference" not "self-contained" and drag it into Compressor and it works fine.
hth,

Importing audio from FCP

Is there a way to import audio projects from FCP into logic keeping the automation that the video editor has made?
Is there a file format other than OMF that contains the automation. and can FCP export it and can logic read it?
Is there a 3rd party application that can convert?
Or do I have to go back to the bad old days of Pro Tools (or worse, Soundtrack "pro")? PT LE is limited for soundtrack production, isn't it?
Is there anyone doing serious audio post production on logic, and if so, how are the projects imported?

The problem with exporting to AIFF, is that you can't crossfade between your cuts, or normalize regions. Your just stuck with the FCP raw mix. This is OK if your cut is relatively simple and you've already crossfaded and blah, but if you've got all kinds of dynamics going on, and different types of recording, you're definitely going to want more control over the export.
The problem with OMF, is that it doesn't translate well into LP. This seems to be a regular thing coming up on threads, apparently it works better with other audio editors but not LP. I've found that despite specifying handles on my export, non appear thus making crossfading impossible, you just get the same glitches your trying to eliminate.
HOWEVER the great thing is that apple invented their own format XML, an apple interchangeable file format. If you import this to LP, you get REGIONS like in FCP that reference the original files on your HD, which means you can now CROSS FADE, and NORMALIZE.
That makes me happy. I like it.

Compressor Losing IN/Out Points from FCP

I recently loaded my fcp studio to a new (to me) 2x3ghz quad core intel xeon mac pro with OS 10.6.7. Running FCP 7.0.3 and Compressor 3.5.3
When I export a sequence from FCP to Compressor using the "file;send to;compressor", Compressor sees the whole sequence, ignoring the In and Out points I have set. I can't seem to figure this out. I have taken to setting in/outs and exporting a reference QT using "file; export; QT movie", then importing the file into compressor. An extra step that is really slowing me down.
Any suggestions?

Adding a sequence to the render queue is sort of like duplicaitng it. Each time you put a sequence into the render queue, it will stay in that state (same edit, ins & outs) regardless of what you do to the original. I use this behavios to batch export several selects of the same sequence - changing the in and out and dragging a new instance to the export queue.
The thing about the export queue is that it will lose its contents when you quit FCP. If you want to be able to mark the same portion of a sequence over again, you might try putting a marker with a duration or pair of markers and use Mark to Markers - (^A) to set the same in and out each time.
hope this helps -

Help!! Importing audio from FCP

Hi, I have final cut studio 5 and the problem i have is sending from FCP to STP.
In the last project i put together i had recorded a lecture and the audio was fine when the lecturer was speaking, but when people asked questions the audio was very poor. As it was a lecture there was no need to edit it so i captured the whole 70min video file in 1 go. I then split the clip up using the blade tool so as that the questions people were asking were in seperate clips to the lecturer talking.
I then right clicked on a question clip and chose send to STP, it went in but it was the whole audio file from the lecture not just the 20 seconds that i wanted, is there any way i can do this?
Cheers for your help with this
Chris

Hi Chris,
Had the same problem. This happens because it is a reference clip in STP, always looking to the original media file. Doesn't matter if you cut it in parts in FCpro: it always shows the entire clip in STP. If the original mediafile is long it slows down everything in STP particularly with drawing the waveform
Solution: finilize your editing in FCpro so you are sure content and lenght are ok; than use the mediamanager to COPY the whole project using 'DELETE UNUSED MEDIA', add handle length etc.
If you send audio files from this new FCpro project to STP you can work with you 20 seconds audioclip
Hope this helps

Can't import multiclip from FCP

I am trying to import a multiclip project from FCP and the file appears to process except it fails at the end and the error message says error processing.
am I missing something other then my file? or is there a work around?
thanks

Perhaps we're just arguing about semantics, but the fact is that it will play successfully in the flash viewer and I have been delivering h264 files to webdesigners for the last 6 months which are simply renamed with the flv extension. And if this is what the OP needs to do, it will work for him. Do some searching here and you'll see this is common practice. If you look at what formats the last few iterations of the flash player will accept, you'll see h264 is fine.

Highlights clipped away when importing AE from FCP

I'm sure this has been posted but I can't find anything.
Importing a blown-out video clip into after effects, the color and luma values over 100% are clipped as if a Broadcast Safe filter has been applied.
If I export from FCP as Apple Prores (HQ) and re-import it, it's fine. All the information above 100% are still there.
If I import it into After Effects and export it back to FCP as Apple Prores (HQ), all the values are clipped away that were over 100% in the vetroscope. Seems like I lose my highlights as soon as I import it into AE. Is this normal? Am I supposed to bring the levels down before working in AE?
I have Mac Pro 3.0, latest After Effect CS4 and FCP. The latest Quicktime. AJA Lhe HD card.

I recommend taking a look at the post on ProRes colors in AE, in Todd Kopriva's blog, Region of Interest.

Problem importing Sequence from FCP 7 to Color 1.5!!!!!

I am trying to export a Sequence from FCP 7 into Color and am experiencing problems. When I send the Sequence to Color from FCP 7 Color receives the incorrect in and out points for many of the clips in my original FCP sequence. All of the footage being used was captured with the same settings from the same camera (Canon xha1). I have made all of the clips in my sequence that had basic motion effects into self-contained QT movies, so the basic motion ramping I've done shouldnt be a problem, right? There are no filters on the clips either. After hours and hours of searching, reading, and trial and error I cant figure out why Color will not recognize and play the clips as they appear in FCP. This is killing me and the project I am working on is due ASAP.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

In the Logging Info tab in Item Properties, the self contained QT movies I made have a TC Rate of 24 whereas the normal clips from the sequence have a TC rate of 30. Could this be the reason Color wont read the sequence correctly?
I have tried to remake the self contained QT movies with the Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 30p 48khz setting, yet still the TC Rate shows 24. What am I doing wrong?
You probably have "24" fps media on a 29.97 fps timeline, which would explain a few other things, especially why the in/out points are wrong on the COLOR timeline. COLOR does not look at express timecodes -- it functions like a good old fashioned EDL and works on durations -- so if the frame rate disagrees, the trims will also be incorrect.
I have no idea how you are making the self-contained QTs. Are you using Export QT, or Conversion? Are you manipulating the export settings in any way? Are you exporting from the timeline?
I myself am very disappointed with Apple's inability to cope with 23.98/29.97, because you are also dealing with three flavours of cadence/pull-down, not all of which are handled correctly, especially with ProRes.

Import project from FCP 6 to FCP 10

I can probably answer this myself, but is there any way to open project from FCP 6 in FCP 10? Can't export as an XML because I no longer have FCP 6.

YYou will need to find someone with your version or FCP7.

Final Cut Pro Trial doesn't import correctly from iMovie

I am trying the trial version of Final Cut Pro.
I am trying to import iMovie Projects into Final Cut Pro.
When I do so, no clips import (they are all still photos) and sometimes the sound imports and sometimes it doesn't.
Is this just because it is a trial version? Does this work normally in Final Cut Pro?
My end goal is to create a DVD.

They are all in a folder on my Mac.
What fodler? Are they in iMovie Events?
aren't the free tracks in iMovie/Gargage Band/etc, free of copyright?
Yes, but FCP won't link to them if they're not in events.
You should finish these projects in iMovie.

Is Compressor 4 necessary when sending from FCP X to DVD Studio Pro

I am making a FCP X movie and when it's finished I want to put it on a DVD using DVD Studio Pro. I have done this before but now I'm wondering if I should first export it to Compressor 4 and then to DVD Studio Pro. I understand that if I was puting it on YouTube or an iPod device I would need to Compress it however why would I need to go to Compresss 4 first if ultimately going to DVD Studio Pro? Would I get a better Codec quality then what I get from exporting in FCP X using their default Compression format i.e. Quicktime? Should I use an Apple ProRes Compression from Compressor 4? I guess I really don't understand the encoding quality options very well however I do want the best quality on my finished DVD. The DVD or Sequence is somewhere around 20 - 25 minutes if that makes any difference in your response.

People will tell you that encoding in Compressor will give the best quality, but that assumes you are using a suitable preset and for your length of video the ready made ones are unsuitable and will waste time as they are all 2-pass with variable bit rates (VBR).
For DVDs under 70 minutes long the best quality and fastest encoding times are achieved using a constant bit rate (CBR) of around 7.5mbps.
For your short DVDs you should achieve the highest quality and fastest processing by simply exporting the project from the timeline as it is, drop it into DVDSP and set DVDSP to encode and burn it at the specs I gave above.
Returning to my opening comment, you will frequently find that the theoretically best solution to a problem results in no discernible improvement but often entails a lot more work and time-expenditure.
P.S. You might get marginally better quality by raising the bit rate to 8mbps but you run a slight risk that some old or cheap players may not be able to keep up, resulting in dropped frames.

Subclip import from fcp studio

is it possible to import subclips from FCP 7 projects into FCPX?

reading further in the 7toX instructions, contrary to your comment, they say
Translating a Final Cut Pro Project
To translate a full Final Cut Pro project:
Make sure there is nothing selected in the Browser;
Choose the File menu and from the Export submenu select XML…
When imported into Final Cut Pro X after translation, the bins will be translated to keyword collections, based on the bin name. Log notes and other metadata will be in the Notes field for each clip.

What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?

I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
Thanks in advance.

I only see Share > Export.
Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
I do not want to import pictures one by one...
You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
...and stick them together manually.
Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question.

16:9 problem from fcp- compressor- dvd studio.

Using Compressor 1.2.1
I shot mini-dv(xl-2) in 16:9 mode.
I tried using the widescreen Compressor preset but when I import the my assets to DVD studio 2.0 the aspect ratio is squished to 4:3. Using the display tab I changed it to 16:9, looks fine. But when i try to simiulate, it doesn't work and there an off black 4:3 box in the middle of the 16:9 simulation box. burning does the same. both do not play.
My presets are marked for 16:9.
dvds of the project, burn fine using the best settings of fcp Conversion and DVD studio, but i'm having problems going through Compressor first.
Any ideas?
fcp 4.5, compressor 1.2.1, dvd studio 2.0

fcp 4.5, compressor 1.2.1, dvd studio 2.0
Are you really using DVD Studio Pro 2.0 There is a 2.0.5 update available. You also want to make certain that you have updated to the recommended Pro App Support package.
What aspect ratio do you have set in the simulator preferences (4:3 Letterbox, 4:3 Pan & Scan, or 16:9)?
Also, note the following from the DVD Studio Pro 2.0 help file (PDF):
"The most common error is to letterbox your 16:9 video assets before bringing them into DVD Studio Pro or QuickTime MPEG encoding systems. Once a 16:9 asset has been letterboxed, it becomes a 4:3 asset with black bars along the top and bottom of the video image. If you flag letterboxed source video as 16:9 video when encoding it, you will have problems when you play it back later."
That sounds somewhat like the problem you are having. Have you reviewed the "Preparing Assets" section in the DVD SP help file?<small><hr width="75%"><small>If this suggestion helps in any way, a confirmation or acknowledgment would be appreciated, since that would also help others who may be having the same difficulty. Do for others as you would have them help you.<center>Thanks for sharing, Waymen.</center></small>

Problem exporting from FCP using compressor

Out of the blue - I'm getting batch failures trying to export from FCP for use in a DVD. Immediately after selecting compressor for export, I get an error reading "That file already exists", and a new tab appears in the media browser with a lengthy character string. Compressor opens fine, and I select Best Quality 4:3 encoding for video and aiff48 for audio. When the batch is submitted - it promptly fails and blames FCP for generating an error.
Did all kinds of restarts and work arounds to no avail. The promising news is that this error seems to occur only when exporting from FCP through Compressor.
My work-around is to export a QT movie of the piece, quit FCP, launch Compressor, and then import the QT for batching.
Hope this helps anyone else in similar situations

Hi:
How long is your movie?
The best workflow is FCP > Compressor > DVDSP.
You can encode your timeline directly to get MPEG2 video and Dolby 2 (AC3) audio files. Then import those in DVDSP and author your DVD.
Using Compressor you control the full encoding process. You can test with small parts of your movie (those where you got problems with iDVD) and find the best encoding options fopr your footage.
Of course the DVDSP learning curve is longer than iDVD but once you learned ir you probably never go back. Like iMovie and FCP.
To give you detailed info about what encoding settings to use you must post some info about your FCP project.
Hope that helps !

Aspect Ratio wrong in sequence imported from FCP

I'm a reasonably experienced user of Final Cut who intends now to migrate to Premiere (leaving the sinking ship?) So, at present, I'm trying to import current projects from FCP into Premiere using XML.
The result for a large scale and pretty advanced project was disasterous losses, so I've decided to start with a much smaller project, which contains a single sequence in the same format as the media, 20 or so HDV 1080p25 clips, and a handful of wav sound files. The result is better, but there are two problems I've encountered:
1. When I open the sequence in the timeline the aspect ratio, which should be 16:9 is squashed in to something more like 4:3. Opening a clip from the bin in the source monitor does not have this effect, but I can't work out how to rectify the change of aspect ratio when the sequence is playing in the program monitor. - Any tips?
2. The audio file icons in the project imported into Premiere are unlinked. When I try reconnecting them, Premiere says it can't because of a 'header error'. - Any clues to what this means and why it should be?
Thanks.

Hello Jim Simon,
Yes, I've tried importing one of these wav files into a new project, but it Premiere won't allow me to. It comes up with a message saying:
"The file cannot be opened because of a header error".
Any ideas?
PS. As this was a side issue to my main query, and the title of this thread doesn't refer to it and hence might make it hard for others to find, I've added a new query to cover this under the title: "Header Error when importing Wav files"
