Exporting from Adobe Premiere CS5 into FCPX

Hi,
I have been given a project in Windows Adobe Premiere CS5. What is the best way to import this into FCPX?
Thanks

Export PPro's XML, run that through the utility app "7toX", open the resulting FCPXML file into FCP X. It won't be 100%, but rarely is XML between companies software 100%.

Need Help Import Project from Adobe Premiere CS6 TO FCPX

Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to export a project from Adobe Premiere CS6 to FCPX.
Many Thanks,
Mat

I am trying to transfer a movie project I made on my work computer (MacBook Pro, iMovie '08) to my home computer (iMovie HD, iBook). I've transferred the files using a Lacie, but when I open iMovie HD on my personal computer, it does not let me open the project I desire.
As you have already found, iMovie '08 projects, as such, are not backwards compatible with previous versions of iMovie. iMovie '08's project basically consists of a list of instructions detailing how a project is to be exported while previous versions of iMovie actually rendered physical file segments ordered properly in a physical timeline reference file.
I can import, but not the whole file, it keeps putting items in the trash. I have exported Mobile, Medium, and Large files.
Basically you have two options. You can either import your raw footage (the Event clips) and "re-create" a project in iMovie HD or export your iMovie '08 project, complete with edits to an HD compatible format (e.g., DV or AIC/AIFF) and import this file into iMovie HD. Unfortunately, this latter approach will not allow you to "manipulate" your previous edits.
Basically, I want to be able to open the file in iMovie, in case I wanted to duplicate it or edit it.
As indicated above, you can import iMovie '08 shared/exported files to iMovie HD but you then have to edit them as source files. To remove a previous edit, you would literally have to delete it from your new project in order to add another.
I also want to be able to continue burning copies of this movie slideshow to DVD (I created a DVD project using iDVD).
Previously authored and burned DVDs can be copy-burned by applications like Toast or used to create stored "image" files that can be used to burn new DVDs on an as needed basis in the Mac OS "Burn" folder or using the Disk Utility application. In fact the "image" file can also be created for this purpose from within iDVD.

Exporting video,adobe premiere cs5

I used adobe premiere cs5 to make a video which includes photos and videos. It's 40 min long. When i do export, microsoft AVI format, it comes out too big (8.5 Gb) and i can't copy it to SD cards or memory stick.
How can i make it "copyable" and smaller (Gb)?
The sequence settings:
Editing mode: desktop
Timebase: 29.97 f/s
Frame size: 800x600
Thank you!

There are endless choices of codecs and settings you could use. If you tell us the intended delivery, we can narrow it down. Do you want to share with friends to watch on other computers? Online streaming? DVD?

Poor video quality when exporting from Adobe Premiere

Hey, I was just wondering if there was anyone here that could help me with this problem I am having with Adobe Premiere Pro.
I have used it to edit a movie together with MOV video files from my iPhone 3GS which are of decent quality but everytime I try to export it, the video quality is degraded significantly from the original. I have tried several different export options but none seem to do the trick.
Also, exporting with DivX just gives me an audio file with no video so I have been unable to try that.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Odd frames added to start of audio export from LPX when imported into FCPX

Running into a weird issue exporting audio out of Logic Pro (10.0.6) for import into FCPX (10.1.1) - Logic is introducing extra frames (varies between 2 to 4 frames) at the front of exported audio, becomes detectable when imported back into FCPX.
I do a lot of work where I sync music performances on camera that are recorded in audio and MIDI, and have to deliver remixed audio with picture AND a .MID file that all sync. Workflow used to be shoot video on a C100 and another DSLR with either an audio feed or live mic patched to the camera, while Logic recorded the MIDI performance and any ambient audio via separate mics and pres. Shoot always had some kind of "slated" start marker on camera, in camera audio, and in Logic. Camera edits were edited in FCPX, exported as a Quicktime with the "slate" for a start marker, then audio and MIDI handled in Logic.
This always used to work thru to last fall, when we took a hiatus.
Upon resuming some final shooting in the last two weeks, our audio edits are always running 2-4 frames behind FCPX. It's a consistent offset for an entire export (so there's no drift, no jitter within the files - but the slate tones might be 2 frames and 17 subframes behind and the whole audio file runs behind.) Another export might be 3 frames 2 subframes behind. Always kind of random in the amount of drift - but never more than 4 frames.
Tried a test where I imported just the camera audio in Logic as an extracted audio track, then exported same audio file back to the Quicktime but left the original audio in the video - Logic's exported audio ran behind sync from the original.
Obviously, I'm paying attention to frame rates, sample rates, etc.
As a test, I exported an XML out of FCPX, imported it into Logic, performed some edits, and used the File>Export>Project to FinalCut Pro XML - so everything matched across the board. Opened the export in FCPX - audio ran behind sync again.
If it was just audio I was concerned about, I'd just line it up in FCPX and call it done - but my exported MIDI file NEEDS to be in sync with the picture AND the audio... and wasting time calculating the Logic offset error is a huge detour from getting this work done quickly.
I thought maybe there could be a plug-in issue, but it happened even in the extracted audio from the Quicktime with no plug-ins in any of the signal chains.
Any ideas?

Well… here's a clunky workaround.
It's either a problem with the exported FCPX-XML or the way Logic Pro X interprets the XML.
The simple test here was to put a clip in the FCPX timeline and export it as an AIFF and then export an XML too.
Import the XML into Logic, then import the AIFF as a new track. By default the Logic project is 120BPM. By analyzing the xml-based track and the aiff track, the xml track has an added 164 ticks to the beginning of the referenced video-audio.
Move the playhead to zero, zoom in to the timeline and drag the tick field to 164 then blade all your tracks, then click/drag the bladed tracks to zero. Voila!
It seems to only affect the first audio file. So for example, when I have 10 video clips in my FCPX timeline, only the first audio clip has the added 164 ticks.
Now on to the next challenge…
It's not enough to just de-compound your clips because L and J cuts get referenced to the VIDEO, not the audio underneath.
So… In FCPX you MUST select each clip and choose Break Apart Clip Items from the Clip Menu. Perhaps this is old news but thought I'd mention it here in case others were having problems.
Let's hope Apple steps up their xml game and realizes that when I choose export XML-Audio from the xml popup menu… I want it to send the duration of the audio, not the duration of the attached video.
Ergh! Well… as my friends say… "We're still in the stone age with all this technology."
Happy editing all!

Exporting from Adobe Premiere using extendscript

Hi!
I'm trying to figure out how the exportTimeline() function works. So far, I have managed to import files and add them to a sequence. Now I want to export the sequence as a Quicktime movie. Eventually, I want to be able to set start and end points for an export (i.e. export a work area, export a clip from the timeline, etc.).
I did try to use the function by passing in a path to a file name:
exportTimeline("somepath.mov")
I didn't get an error message, which is good. I got a 'result:7' (not sure what that means). I did not see any new files exported to the path though.
Thanks!

Ok I'm figuring this out.
Seems like the trick is to use Adobe Media Encoder to render out the final clips as quicktimes (or whatever format you want).
I have exported the project as a XML file. Then I scraped the XML with Python and lxml to get the start and end points I want and wrote that data out as another XML file, which hopefully I can read back into Premiere with ExtendScript. I will set the in and out points and render with Media Encoder.
Hopefully this will work!

.FCP files in Adobe Premiere CS5

I'm using Adobe Premiere CS5 at work - on a PC. I just got several hours of video footage that's been captured in Final Cut Pro. The footage is in the .FCP format and need to be imported into Adobe Premiere CS5. what is the easiest way of doing this?
Is it possible to import .FCP files directly into Premiere?
Any help is appreciated - thank you.

A .FCP file is not footage; it's a Final Cut Pro project file. There is no way to import that file directly into Premiere. Instead, the project will have to be exported as a Final Cut Pro XML document from FCP--any computer with FCP can do this, so all you have to do is email the FCP file to that individual, who can open it and export as an FCP XML document. When this is emailed back to you, you import it into Premiere as any other asset, and the XML document will be converted to a Premiere Pro project. You can then relink to the media you already have.
Do note that the FCP -> PPro translation is not 100%; there are some things that don't travel over at all, and some things that don't travel well. Check out the help docs for more information: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSd9957a95a81082eb28f05af5126718c47be-800 0.html

Can I run Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on MacbookPro with Lion??

For the love of GOD!! Can someone please explain to me why I cannot effectively use Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on my MacBook Pro (Lion OS)??? I've tried getting all updates from both Adobe and Apple, still no luck. Playback is horribly choppy, resolution is diminished and the program appears to be useless...no one at Apple seems to know anything about Adobe.

Windows edited/saved project crashing on mac (adobe premiere cs5)

hi there
i really hope you can help.
i have edited video files on adobe premiere cs5 on a windows 7 machine and saved the project ffiles on an external drive formy friend to colour grade and finalise etc
he can open the video files in adobe premiere, but its crashing his mac system and some video files arent opening
he says he has all the latest codec files but it has gone to the extent of the files crashing his system and it won't boot..
my files were a mixture of mpeg and avi files...
is there anything that can be causing this problem.
he is in a different city from me, so i am not going to see him for a while and i want these video files edited as soon as really
thanks and i hope you can suggest thingss that may help finding the problem

Welll you wont be able to if you do not have the computer anymore.
Do a search on EDLs in Premiere (or any NLE) so you know about them for next time.
Whatever...I suspect the issue is at your colleagues end and needs to be sorted there. Someone with a Mac may chime in on how PPRO win project files and PPro Mac project files work.

Not a problem; not scolding, just suggesting that users there might be of more help, since CS5/CS5.5 is a whole different animal than CS4.
I suspect that, if setting playback to full resolution didn't help, there's not much you can do with these files as they are. You'll have to convert them to something else. Does the break up appear when you step through the video frame by frame? If not, you could use AME to convert these to something else, which will then let you edit a little more effectively in Premiere Pro.
EDIT: Sorry, missed that you said that exporting retained the blobs. In light of that, you'll have to look at a third-party converter to flip these. MPEG Streamclip for Windows might work.

Adobe Premiere CS5.5 - Special Effect

In Adobe Premiere CS5.5, I have the ability to add video clips and images. However, what I’m not sure how to do, is this: I want to add a “transparent” video “layer” over top of a still image. I want that transparent video layer to be smoke rising, and the still image behind it to be a simple text JPG slide. The end product would be a ‘title slide’ announcing a chapter, with smoke rising in front of the title slide. I have no idea how to make this happen- maybe it can’t be done in Premiere. Maybe it has to be done in Adobe After Effects.

Hi swanva,
Do you have a clip of the smoke, or do you need it create it from scratch? If it's the latter, you can create it in After Effects. See this tutorial: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/smoke_screen/
Thanks,

Does Adobe Premiere CS5 for Mac support .m2ts (AVCHD) video?

I am trying to import video files encoded into the .m2ts (AVCHD) format into Adobe Premiere CS5 on my Mac. Does the Mac version of Premiere CS5 support .m2ts (AVCHD) video formats? I am currently testing this with the trial before I get this new version for the Mac. Could using trial be the problem that even CS5 Premiere doesn't open it on my Mac? Do I need the full version? Thanks.

The trial does not support AVCHD for either platform.
Now, the full-paid version has no limitation, AND Adobe offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a full refund, within 30 days.
Good luck,

Capturing is only possible over firewire from tape based cameras. Your material needs to be imported, after you have copied all the data from your card to harddisk, including the complete directory structure.
