.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

Distorted picture while editing MP4 file in Adobe Premiere CS5

hi,
I am trying to edit an MP4 file in the Adobe Premiere CS5 and having a distorted picture every few seconds.
When I am playing the original file using VLC or Media Player it looks OK.
Untill now I didn't have problems with editing MP4 files.
Did anybody had similar problem (and a solution )?
I am adding the file info captured by MediaInfo:

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.

How do I edit rd3 files in Adobe Premiere Cs5 if I cannot afford to upgrade?

I'm trying to edit Rd3 files in Adobe Premiere pro cs5 I cannot afford to upgrade at this moment. What are the alternatives? Should I export from Redcine X? If so what are the settings that I should follow to edit in cs5? I would be editing at 1080.

It depends; you really need to list your hardware since CS5 speed for various formats is impacted by cpu, gpu, RAM, and drives.
If you final result will only be 1080, then you can certainly downsample up front to ease the work your PC has to do. OTOH, if you ever want to export with the full glory that Rd3 files are capable, editing the Rds files natively is probably the best workflow.
Have you tried changing the playback window resolution way down?

Jim

Best way to work with FCP files and Adobe Premiere

Hi,
I have a bit of a technical problem. I'm editing a doco for broadcast on TV and have shot on HDV and downloaded onto our system as PAL, Apple Pro Res 422, 25 fps. oowever, Our graphics editor is on Adobe Premiere CS4.
What is the best way to get it onto her system and back off again and onto ours, with the mimimum or no loss of quality?
I've heard that an XML might work, but will it work on Adobe CS4? I don't know how this will pan out if it's XML. Will we be able to open it all back up in FCP when she hands it back. What sort of file do we get back from the Adobe Prem Pro Cs4 system?
I'm a bit nervous about it all.
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
Margie

This got me curious Eagleray as I do this all the time within my Mac FCS to CS all the time. But to a PC got me a googlin. Hope this discussion _http://www.animotion.nl/en/tutorials/fcp-xml-premiere-pro-cs5/_ helps as quite a few students seem to have Macs at school and PCs at home. Also do be aware of the different formatting of some PC drives like FAT16, FAT32, NTFS vs the Mac GUID. The Mac can read them all with the proper system addons/drivers, they show up in System Preferences Preference Panes under "OTHER". I use NTFS-3G to mount NTFS PC drives. I think it was free, if not there is another one I used to use that is free from some open source NTFS group. FAT has the size limit issue of I think 2 or 4gb (you can't copy anything bigger than that at one time to a Mac from a FAT drive). I'm on Snow Leopard on my 8core. My partner who edits in PP CS3 on a PC brought over his Maxtor USB the other day for me to copy some video files from and it's been having problems mounting, I believe since I upped to SL. I threw it on my 6 year old PowerBook G4 running 10.5.8 and it mounted right away. Just another weird gotcha. But take a quick look, tho the title says CS5 in it, a few students were using CS4 on a PC.

Cannot import .AVI files into Adobe Premiere CS5

Hello Adobe users, I have recently begun a project within Premiere Pro, and I began importing files into my Premiere project, which I shot using my NS-DV1080P Insignia camcorder. I did some research and discovered that I needed some missing codecs. I found and istalled both codec packs, K-Lite, and ffdshow, and still the problem remains. I have contacted Insignia's help forums about this issue and they advised me to contact Adobe. Did I install the codecs wrong, or is there another problem? Could someone help me on this? Thanks.

After you format your drive to remove those codec packs, you need to find the SPECIFIC codec you need

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.

Canon MXF files and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

Ok I have searched every where for an answer to this problem but I cant find any answers. I have Master Collection CS5 and have just recently upgraded to a Canon XF 300 camera and a new PC with the following Stats
Windows 7 Pro
Intel i7 950 Quad Core Processor
24GB Corsair DDR 2000mhz Ram
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Zotac GeForce GTX 470 Amp Graphics card
Now I'm working on a 2 and a half minute corporate video using footage shot on the XF300 and 5 clips shot on the 7D. the footage looks amazing but thats not the problem the problem is that every time i load up the project now every time i scrub the timeline the pc freezes and the premiere crashes. I can't keep working like this, it also appears that Almost all of my 24gb is taken up.
I have been working on the project today and i have only managed to move 2 shots the rest of the time the PC is frozen or adobe is restarting. This is becoming a major joke now, is this a bug and will it be fixed? as no one can work like this.
I have a short film to start filming in a few weeks and im looking at having almost 200 shots to edit now at the moment I'm editing only 25 shots and adobe cant handle it how the hell am i going to edit almost 200?
Any news or answers will help me out as im at a loss

I have a system with the following specs...
Motherboard: ASUS P6X58D Premium
CPU:                 Core i7 950 3.0GHz Quad Core with HT 8meg Cache (with Hyperthreading)

GPU:                 NVIDIA GTX480 (accessing the Mercury Playback Engine)

IO:                      Matrox MXO2 Mini with MAX
Adobe Premiere CS5
I've just played a 10 minute timeline with 12 layers of MFX files in realtime with no problems at all. It's only using 20% CPU and 45% RAM. I've done the same with different effects applied to each clip.The Mercury Playback Engine deals with the effects so they don't impact on the CPU or RAM usage. I'm not sure why I'm having success when you aren't. The Matrox MXO2 may possibly be a factor as that accelerates some processes.

Exporting from Adobe Premiere CS5 into FCPX

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

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%.

Adobe Premiere CS5.5 GOPRO HERO

Hi, I need your help. I'm trying to import a GOPRO HERO movie to Adobe premiere CS5.5. It imports the file, but when I click it twice to open it in the source monitor the software hangs and closes. I think it's a mp4 file: 1920x1080p / 25fps. Another problems: I want to import about 300 JPG pictures to make a time lapse movie: it happens the same! The software hangs and closes: the pictures are 2592x1944 pixels: what am I supposed to do? Thanks a lot.
Maximo Xavier.

In fact my software was hanging due to my sli system; I turned it off, now it is working perfectly! You know that it's impossible importing still images as an image sequence to Ad. premiere, you can do this with Af. Effects only. To make a movie with the still images, I have done the following...
The JPEG pictures are 2592x1944 pixels, so I created a sequence with resolution close to this...

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ziAKSBK4v8/UaEuSEmTnwI/AAAAAAAABfk/CK2LTMVvAY4/s1600/SHOT50.jpg
So when I drag all the still pictures to the timeline, each still image should behave as a frame of a movie, shouldn't it? But it doesn't, look at this.

See in the last link? Each stil image / frame lasts 5 seconds! I have to select all of them and changing its duration to 00;00;00;01. It works, but it takes a lot! How could I make my life more simple?

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,

How to convert .mts file to Adobe Premiere?

I shoot my family party with my Sony HDR-XR500V with the output video format of .MTS . I tried to do some editing on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. But it does not support mts file. I have made some searches ,and i found that the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 can edit the file formats of mpeg2 and avi. So i am wondering how to convert mts file to mpeg2 and avi for me to edit on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4? what software and programme should i need.and where can i get it. Thanks.

As long as you have a AVCHD converter, you can use almost any editing software to edit and perfect your MTS/M2TS video files. What you should do is converting AVCHD video files into the video formats editable by editing software you are using.
As for this question, you can convert MTS from your HD camcorder to MPEG 2,MOV or AVI supportable by Adobe Premiere.
I recommend Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac which is the fastest and best quality video converter i ever used.It can help you to convert MTS/M2TS recording to some playable and editable video formats, like MOV for editing on iMovie,FCP,FCE and Adobe Premiere you are using.
I ever used some video converter which produces video files with the issue of video and audio out of sync, but Brorsoft works fine in this point.

Adobe Premiere CS5 and Open Directory users - Premiere fails to start

We have several class rooms with desktops that are configured for Open Directory.
When a student logs in he's actually working in his home folder on the server and his user is also managed by the server.
This works fine for all the applications that we're using except for Adobe Premiere CS5 and Adobe After Effects CS5. Whenever a student tries to start one of them the application will hang and only a force quit can stop it. It is impossible to start these applications.
However, it is possible to use Premiere and After Effects using a local standard on the desktops. But I don't want to go that route. I want the managed users to be able to use those applications.
Has anyone found a solution for this?
Are you able to use this applications in a same environment?
I've played a lot with the permissions on the library, system and Adobe folders, but the problem doesn't seem to be related to them.
Setup:
AFP Server: Xserve intel running Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
OD Servers: Mac Mini Servers running Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
Clients: iMacs intel running Mac OS X 10.6.6

Safe Mode disables a lot of drivers and services, like networking. That would seem to indicate that something is running on your system that interferes somehow.
I'm just not sure how you'd go about tracking that down.
