Exporting a batch list of a FCP Sequence

Hello,
I am trying to find a way to export a batch list of a sequence from FCP, with TC and reels etc. I've exported clips and subclips bins as batch lists without problem for import onto an AVID.
Is there a way, ANY WAY, to export a sequence as a batch list, EDL... ?

If you are transfering a project to an Avid, Automatic Duck is, without a doubt, the best way to go.
If you can't afford that, you can always go the EDL route, select your sequence (make sure all your video is on one layer, or if necessary, export separate lists for each layer) and select Export EDL...

Final Cut Crashes when I try to export a batch list - help!

I'm doing a very large documentary project and each tape has extensive log notes. I use the batch list function to export tabbed text files and convert them to excel - very useful in the creative process when figuring out story structure etc.
But now every time I try to export a batch list final cut crashes - any ideas on how to get around this?
please help.

Are you batch exporting the enrire project maybe?
Might try selecting just your capture bins and trying to batch export those. Could be a sequence or graphic file making it go kookoo.
If the sheer size of it is making FCP choke you could try selecting a single bin and then doing batch export. Do that for all your bins and assemble them in excel.

Exporting a batch list from browser

Hello,
I am trying desperately to get a list of all of my file info into a spreadsheet so I can take notes while we view the assembly. Everytime I try to export it FC crashes. It just closes the app. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Neobe

Batch lists can only contain clips, not sequences as far as I know... so just select the clips leaving anything else (like filters or whatever) unselected for the batch list.

Can you send/export a still frame from an FCP sequence?

Can you send/export a still frame from FCP as a picture to the desktop? Doesn't matter if it is a .jpeg, .tiff, . bitmap

serach the forum for any of the hundreds of posts detailing this process -
my personal favorite is shift-N, apple-9, type name, drag to bin, batch export.
The best thing about the batch export queue is you can set up a batch with the file format and destination folder and then keep adding new clips/stills to export.
Hope this helps -

Batch Capture from a FCP sequence

When I select a sequence for batch capture with no handles, the system reports much more media to be captured than the total running time of the clips. Why should this be?
Alternatively, suppose I wish to import an off-line sequence at a higher resolution, how should I re-capture just the media+handles that's used in my sequence?

Create a new sequence and delete all the audio in the timeline. This should reduce the amount of media needing to recapture. It still may show a time larger than the length of your sequence. Even with out handles. Not sure why.
Also, make sure all the clips have timecode and a reel number. It won't deleted the unused portions if it doesn't have it.

Batch list import is picky about line terminations in the text file

After running into trouble trying to compose a batch list for import, I isolated the issue:
The text file that you attempt to import must have "carriage return" characters at the end of each line. It can have a "carriage return" and a "line feed", but it cannot have only a "line feed".
If you feed Final Cut a text file that does not meet this criteria, it will barf up this error message:
One or more items on the header line do not match valid Browser column headers.
Line terminators have been the cause of many a problem over the years! Typically, MSDOS/Windows systems tend to create text files that use a CR-LF combo. While Mac OS was typically just a CR. And UNIX systems have typically been just an LF. However, since Mac OS X is now a hybrid of older Mac ways, and UNIX ways, you can find mixed situations there. For example, the Mac OS X Text Edit program saves out files with just an LF, and thus can't be directly used to create batch lists for Final Cut.
So, you need to be careful what means you use to create batch list text files.
Hope this helps some poor soul some day!

I am trying to export a batch list created in FCP 5.1 to someone with 6. I follow directions, export and save and then e-mail the file. When he tries to import it, he gets that message ("One or more items on the header line do not match valid Browser column headers"). But I have tried re-importing it from my desktop and have no problem. Is there a problem going with such simple data from 5.1 to 6? Is it possible that the e-mail transmission is corrupting the files?
Thanks for suggestions.

Export "Batch" list in FCE???

Greetings.
Can you export a "batch list" the way you can in FCP? I would love to be able to print out a log file of my browsers files, but can't figure out how.
Thanks.
Jonathan

No, you can't. The best you can do is take a screen shot of the browser.

Can I open up a FCP 5.0 project in FCP 4.5? If not, help with Batch Lists!

I know that normally one cannot do this, but surely there must be a way. Editors are constantly shuttling between machines, does apple provide no way to do this? If not, it essentially means that if you start a project in 5, you have to always work on that project in 5, even though many FCP stations (at least in NYC) don't have it yet.
What is even more irksome is that when you export a batch list from 5 in an attempt to import to 4.5, it says "some column headings do not match" and it is essentially useless without tweaking in Excel for an hour. Then, when you finally do import a batch list, there are no bins, just raw shots.
Why god, why? Sorry to rant but this sort of user-unfriendly stuff is infuriating when you're dealing with clients and are on tight deadlines. Any advice?

EXPORT BATCH LIST FCP5 quits

I am using FCP 5 and i am trying to export a batch list with just the reel numbers & everytime i go to export FCP quits. I tryed doing this on three different computers 2 of them are G5 & one is a G4. The way i am making the batch list is by selecting all in the timeline and copying it to the project bin & deleting out the repeated reel numbers

I've run into the same problem.
What I found was that if the columns in the browser window didn't fill it completely, it would crash out of FCP. My work around was to add more columns so there wasn't any blank space to the right. I didn't try resizing my browser window to fit my columns... yet.

Final Cut Pro Batch List Exporting

I tried to export a batch list from Final Cut Pro and import it into Excel, and it worked fine, except all the information in the Comment 1 colum isn't there. What could be the problem?

Kristin - sound like you're doing everything correctly. I nmoticed you're somehow on the latest OS but using a very old version of FCPX. I kinda wonder if that might affect your results. Typically people who are running Mavericks would be on a more recent release of FCPX (I think?)
Do you have compressor? Do you see an option to "Send to Compressor"? I know it is possible to do a trial of FCPX so perhaps it might be possible to trail Compressor. If so, try sending your project to Compressor and select a setting and destination for your project and see if that works.
Sometimes when you try something and report back, others who are very experienced will jump in with solutions.

Still from FCP sequence

Hi everybody,
I have a problem exporting a still image from a FCP sequence that is rendered fine.
I have selected format under options of still image under export with QT. Seems to do something with I click on register, but nothing is done. I can't find any picture. I even searched my disk with "find" to make sure.
I never had this problem before. I just re-installed my FCP5.1, and upgraded. Nothing works.
What could be wrong ?
Thanks in advance
Ivan

Just to make sure go to the finder, open a new window (apple, N) then when the new window opens push Apple F to do a search. Change the where it says kind to Date Created and then right next to that choose Today. You will get a list of all the files you created today. If it doesn't come up with the images then you will know for sure that you didn't create, final cut pro is broken and you're screwed...
Just kidding. I would then trash prefernces, repair permissions and so forth. Before we go there do what I just described and report back.

Batch List to EDL

Having already captured media, i am planning to take notes, export a batch list in .txt format so i can re-order items to configure a paper edit/first cut... can i then re-import the batch list and create an EDL to use to re-connect media, to make that first cut? do i use media manager?
thanks

a batch list is all the items in your project. an EDL is a list of edits you've made on video layer1.
One does not necessarily produce the other
you need to do a ruff edit first from your captured material.
are you asking this because someone else is going to do the edit?
If so consult with them.

Sequence names in batch list

Hi there,
I'm looking to take a series of clips and create a database from them. I'd like to export the names of the clips and subclips into a text document, so I can them bring them into the FileMaker Pro template I'm using. However, many of the selects that I've made are actually sequences, due to using the Belle Nuit subtitler program, which adds .tif files to the material as the subtitled text. Since Batch List will not export sequence names, how else can I get the text of everything I have in the Browser? Thanks.

didn't hear anything back, so just entered things manually

Does FCP add content to manually created batch lists upon capture?

When you create a batch list text file manually and import it into FCP, will FCP automatically add the content for columns that you did not included such as frame size, Vid rate, etc. Those are redundant. I'd like to have them though.

I tried it and when you check item properties by right clicking the media clip, it does log format settings, but it seems to only log whatever was manually logged in the batch list under logging info, although I'm still not fully sure what all of the columns under logging info stand for anyway.

Preserve column headings in batch list export (FCP6)

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to preserve edited column headings in an exported batch list from FCP6. When I rename the Master Comment 1-4 and Comment A/B headings (Eg to Location, Weather etc) the exported batch list does not preserve these customised names and I have to manually rename the columns.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers.
