Failure to import fcp7 project's xml into Premiere Pro 2014.  Details below.  Why is it crashing? Any thoughts?

Here are the details of my problem:
Premiere Pro 2014 (up to date)
Mac book Pro OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
Source footage includes a variation of codecs as follows: H.264 in a .mov container, 1920 x 1080 Apple Pro Res 422, Linear PCM
There are no error messages, the import into Premiere Pro 2014 begins normally but the "progress bar" never starts and then after about 10 seconds a blank white box appears followed by the pinwheel.
When the problem occurred I was trying to import a fcp7 project's xml file into Premiere Pro.
I emailed Adobe Support Tech the fcp7 xml file and it crashed his computer, however, I was able to successfully import one clip from fcp7  (an Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, duration 1 minute) from the fcp 7 project into Premiere Pro, but not the whole project or the bare essentials (the cut itself).
I am not running other software
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?  Not that I know of...
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU). ??????
I am using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration
The problem only happen when I try to import the FCP7 xml project file into Premiere Pro

Hi Lynn,
Have you inspected the XML file for any anomalies? That might be a way to see if any third party effects were used.
Thanks,
Kevin

    Hello, im trying to import an xml exported from Final Cut Pro 7 into Premiere Pro CS6, but Premiere returns me an error message saying that the sequence cant be opened because the codec cant be accessed.
    The codec is Apple Prores 422 (HQ), and also all of the codecs that Final Cut Pro gives, dont appear as an option when Im creating a new project file. Only the standart DV, DVCPRO50 and DVCPROHD are available.
    My quicktime is updated, and I already have Final Cut installed.

  • Imported dvd into premiere pro 2014 as a linked file with audio and video but audio from previous editing file is playing with video

    I am editing in premiere pro 2014 on a windows 8.1 system with 12 mega byes of ram.  I imported a dvd into premiere from a .f4v that was
    burned using freemakevideo converter.
    I imported the DVD into premiere and the audio that is playing is from an previous project I edited with the program, as oppose
    to, the audio that is linked with the video imported.
    Do you know why this is?  I cleaned my media cache and I rebooted my machine.  
    Please help

    Without knowing the specs of your videos it is hard to say. I'm also running a Mac and am having no such issues.
    My first thought is that you have something from a 3rd party installed that is causing conflicts. If all else fails try transcoding your mp4 files to a frame based codec using the Adobe Media Encoder. Pick one of the Apple production codecs or Jpeg compressed QuickTime.
    Are you running a ram preview? Did you render your Premiere timeline? Are you new to AE?

  • Can you import a slideshow from Encore into Premiere Pro 2.0?

    I would like to combine video with a slide show - as well as use some of the functions in Premiere Pro in conjunction with a slideshow created in Encore.
    Is it possible to import a slide show created in Encore into Premiere Pro?

    Not really, no.
    It might be possible to rip a DVD with your Encore slideshow, but I don't know how well PPro would handle it, and any audio would likely have to be converted to WAV.

  • Importing XML into Premiere Pro CC: "Generic Error"

    First off, I've read all the threads relating to this problem from others, but I have a few questions. I'm fairly new to Adobe Premiere (used FCP 7 forever) so I'm still figuring it out, so please bear with me.
    I received a hard drive from a client who told me he digitized all his files into Premiere. (A screen shot is below.) When I went to import these into APP CC, it says "The Importer reporter a generic error."
    In the Video folder (another screen shot below), there are dozens of MXF files.  These import fine. Video and audio are both good.
    There are 37 XML files, and 37 MXF files, so it seems they correlate perfectly. Should I just disregard those XMLs? Should I be using these MXFs instead?
    Again, I'm a newbie, so if anybody could shed any kind of light on this for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

    Actually, there's nothing wrong here.  These XMLs aren't to be imported.  They're just sidecar metadata files generated by the camera vendor, they don't import as assets by themselves.
    What you really want to do is pull up the Media Browser panel to look at these clips & import your selects into the project, instead of using finder / import files.  The Media Browser abstracts out all the junk that you don't care about & will just show you thumbnails of the clips. It'll even represent spanned clips as just one large piece of media.

  • Importing Closed Caption .scc file into Premiere Pro CS6.  Closed Captioning is enabled but cannot see the Captions tab.  Also get error message when importing to bin.

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  My aim is to export an mpeg file with closed captioning embeded for network television.  I have watched numbers adobe videos and have spent countless hours researching this.  I am able to generate about 29 different types of Closed Caption files using MovieCaptioner- including .scc (which Adobe says they prefer).  When I try to "Import" the file I get an incompatible error message.  The same happens with all other cc file types when I try to import them.  Second, I tried attaching the .scc as an attachment in the sequence menu.  They show up in the preview window, but do no encode into the mpeg file.  I am aware of this form:  Re: How do I export closed-captioned movies from Premiere CS6?
    Third- I have watched some adobe video for created the CC files within Premiere. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-closed-captions-within-premiere-pro /
    However, I cannot find the "Caption" menu to do so?  Where is it?
    Am I running into problems because I am not on the Creative Cloud?  IF so, is it possible to upgrade and how do i do that.  Adobe has made it incredibly difficult to contact anybody.

    Sorry, you cannot do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Only QuickTime files can be exported with embedded closed captioning and this must be done in Premiere Pro CC or later. All other formats must use a sidecar file.

    You can only attach a closed caption file in Premiere Pro CS6, no encoding is available for closed caption files (embedded or sidecar).

    Caption is a tab is in the Export Settings dialog box if you want to export with closed captions. This tab is available in Premiere Pro CC and later.

    In Creative Cloud, you would still have trouble encoding a MPEG 2 file with embedded captions as it is a QuickTime only feature. There might be a plug-in available, but I'm not aware of it.

  • Problem importing canon c300 mxf files into Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I recently shot some footage with a c300 at 24fps, slog2, 2 audio chanels. I copied the "contents" folder of each cf card to my macbook pro hard drive by dragging across in finder.
    When I search from within Premiere Pro's media browser for my files, they show up only as VLC icons, and when I click to import them, I get an error message along the lines of 'unsupported format or damaged file".
    I can double click the files in finder and they open in VLC fine.
    I'm running the latest version of Prem Pro, Yosemite on my macbook pro which has 2.8ghz i-7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB graphic card.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    You could try to convert your XAVC MXF files into MPEG, then load them again , but the new codec may not be well handled by some converters.

  • Error importing Indeo 5.1 AVIs into Premiere Pro CS5

    I have several files that were encoded with Indeo 5.1 via Premiere Pro CS4 that I cannot edit in CS5. On import Premiere CS5 only recognizes the audio tracks and does not bring in the video. I have tested multiple files and the same is true for all of them, and the files can play fine via Windows Media Player (audio and video work).
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Audio not confomed after old project imported into Premiere Pro 2014.1

    Reinstalled windows and Creative Cloud today, now when I open a project that had conformed audio 3 days ago, the audio is not conformed. Adobe had to conform it before sending it to Audition.
    Anyone else have this issue?
    David

    Have you tried using the project manager to re-copy all elements and timeline etc into a totally new directory. I'm just curious to see if that would make a difference. I'd be intrested to see if when making a new project in this manor if it would because as you have stated the normal save methods haven't.

  • Importing a recorded Skype call into Premiere Pro & audio goes out of sync. PLEASE help!

    Every time I try and import a clip it gets out of sync, but if I open the file in quicktime its perfect???

    (Not sure why this response was originally rejected by the moderators, but am trying again.)
    A solution that worked for us:
    [EDIT] I do NOT work for any of the companies included in this solution, nor do I receive any kind of renumeration from them. I am recording the software and steps we used to overcome the problem of the original poster.[END EDIT]
    The Skype Call Recorder (Ecamm) has 4 built-in converter/splitter apps (you have to look in the "Movie Files" folder to find them). We used the apps to split the recorded Skype video calls into 2 separate "conversations" and then used a free online converter (http://www.online-convert.com/) to convert the conversations into MP4s. Once the MP4s were imported into Adobe Premiere the audio lined up perfectly with the video.
    Hope this helps somebody.

  • Importing Arri DNG raw files into Premiere Pro CC

    Hi MarkU,
    What are you having trouble with? I assume you mean ARRI Raw. Check out this video, perhaps it will help you:
    If you mean Cinema DNG, support for that is coming in the next release.

  • How do I import an oval shaped picture only for into Premiere Pro 2.0

    I can't figure out how to cut out an oval facial shot in Photoshop and then import it(only the oval) into premiere Pro 2.0 to be used as part of a "Cast" timeline with moving background and hopefully a revolving name.

    hopefully a revolving name.
    Harm has given you the clue for the oval. You can also use Track Matte Keying to "limit" the view of the image, but the Alpha Channel is easier and quicker.
    Now, for the revolving name, you might want to look at the 3D Effect. If that doesn't do it for you, BluffTitler, and ProDAD's Heroglyph have plenty of presets to do similar.
    Good luck,

  • Importing .psd into Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I am trying to import a Photoshop file (.psd) into Premiere Pro CC 2014.  I've watched all these tutorials and they make it look so easy using Import > Adobe Photoshop file and then it appears in the source monitor--it seems to be the same as well on their tutorials.  However, my .psd file which needs to have white font and does in Photoshop comes up as different color (black) and is much smaller.  I am doing this in a 4K sequence, I understand the dimension aspect, but when I try to import I set as Single Layers and it doesn't matter--black font again.  Is there something I am doing wrong in PS or PP or both?  I would really appreciate your feedback because I'm in a rut and nothing seems to work.  The Photoshop file is one that was preloaded for this band but it just does not import correctly.  Any other options for getting a Photoshop file into Premiere Pro CC 2014 or AE.  I also tried this in CS6 and was hoping to just copy and paste into CC 2014.  I can't believe it is this hard.  I must be doing something wrong especially since everyone else seems to do it so easy.  Thanks for you help.
