Exporting Scoring Markers for ProTools

Dear Colleagues
Has anyone here any experience of exporting a Final Cut Pro sequence for ProTools using Scoring Markers? I know these markers translate to Soundtrack Pro, but do they translate to ProTools?
I might be better off using Chapter Markers in the guide QuickTime I give to the composer.
I will be using Automatic Duck Pro Export 4.04 to create the OMF for ProTools.
many thanks
Aldo

Sometimes if I'm going outside of Apple Apps - like Logic, which would accept the markers, I just put in a short tone, like a blip every place I would set a marker so the composer can hear where the scoring changes go. When the score is complete, I just import it to the FCP sequence and check for possible timing tweeks, and repeat.

  • Exporting scoring markers in Final Cut Studio and importing to Logic Pro

    I want to export my scoring markers with the movie in Final Cut Studio and see them as markers in Logic Pro 7.2.x. I need to use the markers as "hit points" to calculate my tempos and effectively lay out my score based upon the action in the picture. I'm exporting the Final Cut Studio project to a Quicktime movie and choosing audio and video + "scoring markers". Thanks for your help.

    Don't bother rendering a movie out of LiveType, simply save the project file and import it into FCP.
    LiveType outputs in the Animation codec only, so you will always have to render. Using the project file has another advantage -right clicking and choosing "Open in Editor" will drop you back into LiveType where you can quickly make adjustments, save and return to FCP with the changes in place.
    To set project properties, you can use the Place Background Movie function in LiveType. Drop a short clip in and it will automatically adjust the properties to match. You can delete it once you have the settings. If you have Anamorphic video, you will still need to adjust the pixel aspect ratio -exact settings depend on the format, you haven't told us that yet.
    Again, depending on the format, you might have to set the Anamorphic flag in FCP's Item Properties for the LiveType file.
    When you view the FCP export in QuickTime Player 7 (not QuickTime Player X) make sure that the High Quality Playback preference is selected.
    Typefaces in video:
    Avoid using small, thin, delicate and Serif typefaces. They never work well.
    A well known example of a Serif font is Times, which you should avoid at all costs in any case -it makes it look like you made the titles in MS Word. Stick with San Serifs with clear, bold strokes. Helvetica is a popular example of a San Serif.
    If your titles are white, reduce the brightness to around 90%. Apply a shadow or border to distinguish them from the background. While it might sound counter productive, applying a tiny amount of blur can help too.

  • Chapter Markers for Apple TV Exports

    Hi
    Can't seem to export chapter markers for my Apple TV video exports. They are green on the timeline, but don't show up on the final Apple TV m4v.
    Does this just not work, or am I doing something stupid?
    Many thanks in advance.

    So if you want any compression at all, deviate from Quicktime movie for any reason, you lose all your chapter marker ability. Seems pretty lame to me. Is that true for FCP, or just FCE?
    Guess I will just have to use the fast forward on my remote.
    BTW, got your book and it was very helpful.
    Thanks

  • Scoring Markers from FCP to STP?

    Hi:
    I am trying to move markers from a FCP sequence to and STP multi-track project, but no matter how I do it - Export for STP, Export to QT etc, then import the moview into WTP - I get no orange scoring markers in STP. If I Send to STP, - no orange scoring markers in STP Any suggestions?
    Thanks - Jonathan

    Hi Jonathan,
    It seems to work for me. Here's what I'm doing.
    First, it appears that the markers are only seen in STP when they are added to the quicktime file (via export to quicktime or for Soundtrack from FCP).
    In FCP
    -Add a marker to the timeline (with no clips selected, press "m" to add a marker at the playhead, then mark->markers->edit to get the marker edit window and click on the [Add Scoring Marker], then click [ok] (the markers should show up on the FCP timeline ruler)
    -Export the new quicktime with scoring markers (e.g. File->export->QuickTime Movie... or File->Export->For Soundtrack...), and make sure that under Markers you select "Audio Scoring Markers" -- for somereason this is the only setting that works (selecting "All Markers" actually seems to include all markers except scoring markers. then click [Save].
    Then, in STP:
    -Open a multitrack project
    -Drag the newly created quicktime movie (with the scoring markers) into the video window.
    -Now you should see the markers.
    Note: How to get a multitrack project with scoring markers
    Since, the scoring markers do not come across in a send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project, here's what I do:
    -In FCP: perform the send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project
    -In FCP: export the movie as described above (except that I select "Include:Video only" on the QuickTime export screen)
    -In STP: Open the multitrack project that was sent from FCP, then drag the quicktime movie created with mscoring markers into the video window of the multitrack project
    Now you should have the multitrack Project sent from FCP with scoring markers.
    I hope that helps

  • Exporting QT with Chapter markers for iDVD

    When I export a QT with Chapter markers for iDVD I get one movie file then a number of "AV" files - what are these and what do I do with them?
    workflow as follows:
    1.Place chapter markers in timeline using mm the Add Chapter Markers
    2. set in/out points in timeline
    3. export quicktime movie
    4. select include Chapter Markers and include audio/video
    5. do NOT select recompress all frames
    6. DO select make self contained movie.
    7. Open exported movie file in Quicktime and chapter markers are present
    8. import ONLY the movie file to iDVD (NOT the AV files?) and answer yes to read all chapter markers
    9. burn seems to work fine but when I playback on DVD player there is digital stuttering in the picture
    Any ideas on how to remedy the problem?
    thanks in advance
    patrick

    The project is only 75 minutes. Do think it is the codec that iDVD is using that is causing the stutter. I assumed that it always encodes using MPG2.
    Any idea what the AV files are?
    When I export as an uncompressed DV stream the file is 15 GB.
    When I export as uncompressed QT I get one file (movie) at 2.5 GB then
    5 more "AV" files that are each 2.5 as well. So when I import the movie file without the AV files am I missing something?
    Should I look into DVD Studio Pro? I have version 1.5 but I am fairly unfamiliar with it.

  • Batch export of markers

    I'm brand-new to Premiere, to this forum, and to video editing generally. I'm hoping someone can help with this problem. I've created several markers for my video (an avi file). I need to export each frame associated with a marker as an image file. I don't want to do this one-by-one because there are a lot of markers and it is very tedious. Is there some way to batch export such frames within the application?
    Alternatively, I can extract the <Marker> XML elements from the prproj file and get the images using a Matlab script, if I can figure out what the time is for each marker. The elements look like this:
                <Marker Version="1" Index="0">
                    <First>100072202630400</First>
                    <Second ObjectRef="33"/>
                </Marker>
    Does anyone know how to convert the <First> value to a time in seconds?
    I should mention that I've tried the PPro Project Utility, but get unreliable results.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    For CS4 and later, you can set up each export and then do them all at once through the Adobe Media Encoder.  For earlier versions, you'll have to do each export one at a time.
    In either case, the setup for each frame is done manually.  There's no auto feature for this.

  • CS4 exporting chapter markers to Encore?

    In my older version of Premiere Pro, exporting an AVI file that contained chapter markers readable by Encore was pretty simple.  There was a checkbox on the export parameters screen, and as long as you checked it, Encore would be able to pick up the chapter markers.
    It seems that life is not so simple in CS4.
    The export dialogue in CS4 does not seem to have a checkbox for indicating that I want the chapter markers included in the metadata of the AVI files.
    I did find and check the box for each individual marker to indicate that I wanted it to be treated as an Encore marker.  But when I export the sequence to an AVI file and then import that AVI file into Encore, there are no chapter markers.
    I read the help message, which recommended File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Send to Encore, but when I tried that option I found it to be a real pain in the neck.  It wanted to create a brand-new Encore project, and I couldn't find a way to tell ilt to use my existing Encore project.  Also, I will want to use the same sequence in more than one Encore project, so I really don't want to tie it to an individual project - I want to just export it as an AVI that contains the metadata to be usable in a variety of Encore projects that I may want to use it in.
    Is there a way to do what my older version of Premiere Pro allowed me to do - export an AVI file that contains the necessary chapter markers for Encore?

    En chapter markers can only be exported from CS4 if:
    You send the sequence to En via Dynamic Link.  The markers don't have to have a name in this case.
    You name the chapter markers and export from Pr as MPEG2 DVD.  In this case the chapter markers have to have a name, and you have to check "Include Source XMP Metadata" in the flyout menu of the Export Settings dialog.  (The chapter marker information is included in the sidecar XMP file)
    Gone is the ability to export chapter markers with AVI files.
    Although you can't specify what En project you want from Pr when sending a sequence to En via Dynamic Link, you can open any En project and import one or more Pr sequences via Encore's File | Adobe Dynamic Link command.

  • OMF Exporting in CS6 for an FCP7 Dummy

    Hey guys,
    Having a horrible experience exporting an OMF for my audio guy. He is on ProTools.  I've tried every type of "track" and exported through both Premiere CS6 and Audition CS6, with no luck.
    I'm a long-time user of FCP7, and never had an issue.
    Is there an "easy" way to recreate the simple workflow I had in FCP7?
    Here's a screenshot of the errors he's getting:
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I just had a similar issue.  I have a feature length doc and I couldn't export an OMF.  It would stop about 3/4 the way and give me errors.  After some reading I found out that OMF only deals with mono files.  So, what I did was I went through ever clip in my timeline and changed each stereo clip to mono.  Here's the process:
    I'm on a Mac too by the way.
    In the timeline, match frame any clip that appears to not be mono.  That clip will show up in your viewer.  In the file menu, click on Clip/Modify/Audio Channels.  Near the top where it says Preset, click the drop down menu and click Mono.  A warning will come up to tell you that other clips wont be affected.  That's ok, click OK.  Then replace the clip in the timeline with the one in the viewer.  You should get two audio clips in two audio tracks.
    the worst thing you can do, I think, is to have a stereo audio clip in one track.  I think Premiers circuts blow up when it sees that.
    Hope that helps.

  • Export via markers not possible

    Hi,
    The situation: a 50 minute live track of a band, in the multitrack view I have 2 stereo tracks with some effects.
    I added a dozen range markers for the songs. in the Markers list they appear with correct start, end and duration. I named them after the songs. (the markers are Range markers, NOT point markers)
    Then  when I select  all markers in the markers list, the option File->Export->Audio within range markers is still grayed out.
    Also the 4th and 5th icon in the marker list stay gray ("insert selected range markers in playlist" and "export audio of selected ranges into separate files")
    I know this should work, i did this before, but now it won't. I know back then i had to do an aditional action to activate the menu, but stupid me forgot to jot that down somewhere...
    Can anyone give a hint?

    Thanks guys.  I've written my steps below and posted a video.

  • PE7 and Exporting Quicktime Files for Streaming

    PE4 saves Quicktime (H.264) files with the header at the end, so trying to stream them as they download in a Flash player doesn't work (the entire file must download before it will play).
    Has anyone with PE7 had any luck streaming Quicktime files? I wish there was a way for me to ask an Adobe developer if they addressed this in PE7.

    You can definitely export chapter markers to a QuickTime movie. Whoever is playing it back needs QT Player 7.1 (I think) to be able to use chapters though.
    Make sure you select Chapter Markers in the FCP export dialog instead of All Markers. I have never tried it with a streaming file but go ahead, be a pioneer and tell us how it works out.

  • Export on Markers

    I have a 15 min training film, with 7 different markers for different sections of the film. The complete film works great, but is there a way to export 9 individual films from those markers?

  • Export chapter marker for WMV file or print a chapter marker list?

    Is there any way to ether export chapter markers to a wmv file, or to print a chapter marker list from FCP?

    It's strictly a QT function, AFAICT, moving marker files from one QT app to another. Could be wrong, though, so I hope you get better advice later today.
    Does WMV even support markers? I haven't seen the ability in any of my references but I haven't actually gone searching for it.

  • Any way to print/export the markers list?

    I have markers with notes created on the clips. For example some notes to VFX guy to make some quick fixes, or some notes to a colorist.

    Nope.

  • Markers for DVD

    I'm in a little dilemma, I exported my 2hr sequence as a QuickTime MOV and have now encoded it in compressor as MPEG-2, ready for DVD Studio Pro.
    In the rush of things I forgot to add chapter markers and now need to add them manually in DVD Studio Pro.
    Is there a way I can export these chapter markers from Final Cut Pro and import them in DVD Studio Pro?

    you could as well do an export video only as quicktime (non-selfcontainig), check "export chapter markers", you even don't have to care about ratio-settings, import to DVDSP, put in timeline, import markers from there to timeruler, delete the freshly imported QT-movie from timeline AND assets (otherwise DVDSP always will ask you about this file and eventually try to encode it to mpq2).
    Done.
    Takes anout 2 minutes time, because there is no need for rendering or compression-work.
    cheers
