FCP Loading some Pro Tools plugins

Just installed FCP 5 to a new computer that has Pro Tools 7.1 installed. Everytime I launce FCP, it would take a long time loading some PT plugins (FCP apparently only loads the plugs that are "approved") . My question is, without disturbing the Pro Tools environment, is there a way to disable or prevent FCP from loading these audio filters? Thanks in advance.

  • FCP, Pro Tools M powered and OMF files

    Hi
    Just wanted to try and sweeten audio from a FCP sequence in Pro Tools (I have M-Powered only - not HD) and I don't have DV toolkit.
    I've exported the OMF from FCP but can't work out easy workflow of importing the file into Pro Tools M powered without spending big bucks.
    Is there some freeware that enables you to import an OMF from FCP into Pro Tools M-Powered?
    Thanks,

  • Error loading file for Pro-53 plugin

    Greetings,
    I keep having to tell Logic 8 Pro where the file 'def.p5a' is located everytime I load the Pro-53 plugin.
    Any help?

    This is a Pro-53 default patch bank. Either it's not in the right place, or it's an issue with Pro-53 - in either case, this is an NI issue and nothing to do with Logic.

  • Sync Problem Pro Tools Audio to FCP

    Hi!
    I did a sound edit for a PAL FCP project in Pro Tools, exported it, and when the .aif is imported back into the FCP timeline, audio drifts out of sync slowly becoming earlier than picture.
    By the end of the 17 min film. we are about a second/second and a half ahead of picture.
    Any ideas or heal are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

  • IMac will not run Pro Tools 9 - Some will not run CS5.5 Production Premium and some will?

    So i have 6 imacs in my computer lab at this time - I recently created a new image for all of our lab computers using snow leopard OS, Pro Tools 9.0, and Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium - this image works fine on our MacPro's and Pro Tools has no problems opening or CS5.5, but when I imaged the same image onto the imacs - CS5.5 only works on two of the machines and Pro Tools 9.0 will not open on any imac ( i keep getting the message "Can not find playback device: I thought you didnt need one for Pro Tools 9?) and i cant figure out why.  The imacs that have problems with CS5.5 and Pro Tools are the 20" early 2006 versions, and the imacs that run CS5.5 but not Pro Tools are 20" late 2006 versions.  Are they just too old?  Why would it let me image on the late 2006 version of imac but not the early 2006?  Do i need to create an image on the imac itself and then farm it out to the others?
    Thanks for your comments,
    Kyle

    I know this is a very late answer for you, but it may help others out.
    Try holding down the "N" key on your keyboard while loading the Pro Tools application.
    This will eventually open up a dialog box with a drop down menu for selecting your interface.
    In the case where you're not using an interface (like the lab), within this dialog box, just select Built-in Output and plug in your headphones in the back of the iMac.
    I'm running several rooms with iMacs and PTLE 9.0.6 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and this is the only hiccup I've run into. Hopefully, holding down the "N" key works for you.

  • Final Cut, Quicktime, and Pro Tools conflicts

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a "situation" I recently encountered, and wonder if anybody else has had this problem.
    I'm trying to upgrade Pro Tools LE to version 6.9.2 with the install discs that were sent to me from Digidesign, and it's wreaking havoc with Final Cut Pro and Quicktime.
    Initially when I installed the upgrade, I was running OSX 10.4.2, FCP 5.0.3 and QT 7.0.2. The Pro Tools upgrade worked fine, as did FCP when I launched it, but Quicktime wouldn't launch- spinning beachball forevermore.
    So after doing all the basics- trashing pref's and render files, repairing permissions, etc.- and finding QT still wouldn't work, I tried upgrading to QT 7.0.3.
    Once I did that, QT still wouldn't work, and Final Cut Pro would no longer launch. It just hung on the application startup screen, at no particular point each time.
    I then upgraded to FCP 5.0.4, and as well OS 10.4.3. No luck. I installed the Pro Application Support updates 2005-02 1.0, and 3.1, and still no luck.
    Since there is not yet a downgrade from QT 7.0.3 to 7.0.2, I ran the 7.0.2 to 7.0.1 installer, and downgraded to QT 7.0.1. QT still wouldn't launch, and FCP still hung on launch but this time it hung at the point where it was loading audio filters.
    I tried removing the audio filters from their folders to see if it would launch then, but that didn't work. At this point, the only thing I could think to do was to uninstall Pro Tools altogether (safe uninstall, not clean uninstall) and this is what finally brought Quicktime and Final Cut back to life. Great, because I use FCP and QT everday, but I no longer have the use of Pro Tools.
    Throughout this process I made sure to diligenty repair permissions, trash prefs, and restart whenever I made a change.
    So I'm not sure at this point how to get Pro Tools LE 6.9.2, Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and Quicktime (any version above 7.0) to work harmoniously, and I'm unable to spare any more troubleshooting time for a week or so because there are of course, projects due.
    Has anybody else encountered these oddities?
    Thanks a lot,
    Joni

    Hi, Joni C
    I'm Bump,
    I'm having the same trouble, I have FCP I'm running it on a G5 power Mac dual 2.5 ghz with 2.5 gb of memory, my os is 10.4.4. I also have Quicktime pro 7.0.3 and I have Pro Tools LE 7.0, every time I try to use FCP it starts and about five sec. later it shuts back down. I also have a Universal Audio UAD pci card that runs audio plugins and I also have fxpansion program it converts my vst & Au plugins to rtas for pro tools le. IBefore I installed FCP I wiped my hard drive and re installed a fresh version of tiger 10.4 and then I installed FCP studio, then Pro Tools, then all plugin and kept checking to make sure every thing was working correctly and then the U audio stuff with the Vst to rtas wrapper and it all was working fine. I even did the full final cut tutorial still worked fine. Yesterday out of no where final cut just stop working and still all the other programs work fine like dvd studios, soundtrack, motion, pro tools. If you can shead any light on this I would be very greatful

  • Problem with video export for Pro Tools

    I hired a re-recording mixer to mix my short film in 5.1.  I successfully exported an OMF, and then set to making a video per his requirements:  h264, 720pHD, High Quality.
    Initially I chose an h264 YouTube 720p 23.976 preset.  The re-recording mixer told me although it would open on his desktop in a quicktime player, he couldn't get it to load into Pro Tools.  So, I next created another video with the h264 HD 720p 23.976 preset.  And again, he couldn't get it to load.
    As the export is quite long, I decided to re-compress the file in Apple Compressor.  And here's the weird thing.  The exported HD 720p 23.976 video wouldn't even load in compressor (although it plays fine in Quicktime). 
    Finally I used an Apple TV preset and exported again.  720p, 23.976.  And this time, the video loaded both in Pro Tools and would open in Apple Compressor.
    What don't I understand?  Why the difference between h264 outputs?  What would the ideal "preset" be?

    I have always found that a simple .dv file is the most user friendly in a ProTools Suite.
    I use these in conjunction with OMF exports of audio and it works flawlessly.
    I am on a PC so not sure how that impacts in your  Mac workflow.

  • Pro Tools won't open and strange Warning message

    I have been using Pro Tools 11.3 successfully for about a month. I just did an OS X update a week or so ago. I also did a Pro Tools update about a week ago (to 11.3.1). I went to open PT and the app opened, but my top menu never came up. It was just the normal Finder menu, but with my Pro Tools interface open where I could see all the tracks, etc. Clicking to desktop and back to PT several times did nothing.
    I closed PT and did a Disk Utility "Repair Permissions". As the repair started up, the progress text gave me the warning below. I'm trying to figure out what it means. If it is a Mac thing or a Pro Tools issue. If someone can help me I would sincerely appreciate it.
    <<<<<< Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.>>>>>>>>>>

    I've never seen this message before and wonder it is part of the problem or signals what the problem is. I have downloaded a few free Pro Tools plugins. If anyone can help, I would sincerely appreciate it.
    Thank you,
    Leonard

    Thanks apostol13,
    You need to make SURE the Digidesign Core Audio Manager software, which Logic and iTunes use to "talk" to Digi hardware, is NOT running. if ti IS, turn it off.
    Then PT will start up.
    Cheers

  • FCE & FCP compatibility with OMF files and Pro Tools

    I am using Final Cut Express 3.5 and want to edit a future project on it for a friend. When I am finished with the project, I was wanting to export the audio as an OMF file so that it can be mixed in Pro Tools. However, I just realized that Final Cut Express 3.5 does not support OMF exporting.
    I am trying to work around this problem and I just need some verification that my idea will work. This is my idea: Will it work if I take my finished FCE project and open it on a friend's computer that has Final Cut Pro and create an OMF file through FCP?
    If so, after mixing in Pro Tools, will I be able to import the mixed audio back into my FCE (or worst case scenario, my friend's FCP) and be able to burn the movie to DVD?

    1. Depends on the FCP version they're using. FCP5.1 or later will work.
    2. Yes.

  • Renaming files in FCP for Pro Tools

    Hoo boy! We just learned from our sound designers that Pro Tools is having some issues with illegal characters in filenames inside our OMFs. Evidently ^ ! / ( ) - ; are all no good. Mostly this presents no problem (does anyone ever use a carat?), but our sound studio (also using Pro Tools, curiously enough) seems to have a penchant for the hyphen.
    So now here's the problem: I have FCP sequences chock full of files with hyphens, and I have to be able to export the audio into OMFs with no hyphens. I'd love to find out there's a very smart and easy way to get around having to manually delete illegal characters (in the browser, of course) in 400+ files.
    Any ideas?

    you can do this by exporting an XML of your sequence , the basic premiss is:
    open xml file in a text editor and do a find and replace on one of the known clip names
    replace every instance except the "parthurl" item
    save changes
    double click the xml, tell fcp to create a new project and check the reconnect media box
    everything should be exactly as before except the clip name should be changed globally, reveal in finder should still link back to the original file
    ... i was sure i'd seen a new release of a utility to do this just the other day, but can't seem to find it now ?

  • Programs quitting unexpected, Pro Tools, FCP, even Excel...

    Hello,

    Esata express CArd, 2x E-sata 500GB Seagate disk in CAnyon house.

    Both USB ports are used, either for an additional Drive, or hub, keyboard...
    I am experiencing more and more troubles with programs shutting down, unexpectedly.
    first OF PRo Tools, i had some demo versions of some plugins installed.
    Thought that was the reason. Uninstalled, still issues.
    I read, that having the right usb next to the firewire in use, while operating Pro Tools active might cause some problems...
    Same thing happens in Final Cut Express.
    And recently i am experiencing problems with Excel...
    Problems start when i click on a certain action (write, cut, font..., orders differ from app to app) OS stops for a brief moment, the rainbow shows for 10 or so seconds, then programs shuts.
    Before i go unplugging every device and driver, and so on..., i wanted to know if any of you have some more plausible explanation why it happens?
    Thank you,
    Best, Matt

    One question though - how reliable are the Hardware
    Test and programs like Rember? My first Mac (iBook G4
    2ghz) had a logic board failure after a month, and I
    the Hardware test didn't detect any issues when I
    first started having the symptoms that led up to it.
    Same thing with my first Macbook - I started having
    the symptoms of Hard Drive failure (thankfully I do
    regular backups), but Hardware Test gave me no
    indications that there was a problem...
    Ya, in the past AHT was not too reliable, especially with G4 machines but I think I heard on these forums that Apple has addressed this, however it never hurts to run it.

  • Pro Tools and FCP

    Hi All
    Anyone doing the roundtrip from FCP to Pro Tools and back again regularly? Is it as easy as an exported OMF to PT and then an exported final audio track in the desired format back to FCP to be synched with the video?
    My organization is changing from Pyramix to PT, and the aforementioned workflow is what we have used with Pyramix, will that also work in PT?
    Cheers
    -j-

    Unnecessary nowadays for ProTools. It was the best way to get your audio, with your levels and pans and keyframing, to ProTool prior to FCP 6. But FCP 6 and now 7 have a more robust OMF that includes those. Now it is more used for Avid to FCP, or FCP to After Effects, or FCP to Avid...stuff like that.
    There still remains that 2GB file size limit...just FYI.

  • Omf from fcp to pro tools

    Hello there,
    Just finished offline of a feature film and done also the premix on FCP 5.0.4
    now I will export it as OMF to work at OMNIMIX. They say pro tools won't recognise the sound clips as individual clips but as whole tracks instead.
    Is this correct? and while mixing, using an omf file causes decrease in the quality of the sound.
    The sound was recorded live on location to a Fostex pd6 dvd. All the sound is copied to the HD.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi hande,
    now I will export it as OMF to work at OMNIMIX. They
    say pro tools won't recognise the sound clips as
    individual clips but as whole tracks instead.
    Is this correct?
    No. Audio clips from FCP import as seperate audio regions in Protools, at the correct timecode locations.
    and while mixing, using an omf file
    causes decrease in the quality of the sound.
    As Michael said, there is no quality loss. How could there be? It references/copies from, the same media files.
    I agree that you may want to look elsewhere for this service. Mixing and mastering audio for video is my most commonly provided service, I can tell you with confidence that It sounds like your folks at Omnimix have never done this before.
    Also, if you've done a reference mix in FCP, render that to an mp3 or something and send it along with. Can't hurt.
    Good luck.

  • HVX Footage from FCP into Pro Tools Settings

    I just finished editing a 16 minute video shot on the Panasonic HVX at 720p24. I exported the OMF and a QT video, but our sound editor can't get everything to sync up right. The FCP sequence plays the video at 23.98 and the OMF audio imported at 24 fps.
    When I open the video in QT Player, the frame rate says 23.98, but the playback frame rate is 24 fps.
    We have tried several pro tools setting and the video never syncs up properly with the TC Window burn.
    Our sound editor is using ProTools LE.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm going to cut and paste the reply my audio guy sent me:
    "It is most likely that the Pro Tools system or version being used does not
    support 23.976. Yes, 23.976 shows up in Pro Tools as 23.976 -- not 23.98
    23.976 was not supported in Pro Tools until version 6.4 and above. I am not
    an LE expert but its possible that LE or older versions of LE do mot support
    23.976.
    Also, 23.976 does not work with a non "HD" Pro Tool Hardware when used in
    conjunction with a USD sync interface (such as the older Mix or Mix plus
    hardware). This does not relate to LE but is might be good information
    anyway. In the case of the "mix" generation of hardware, you can free run it
    against Quicktime. if you sycncing to video tape you can hotrod older
    hardware to run in 23.976 by syncing it with the newer generation sync
    interface -- replace the USD interface with a Sync I/O interface and using
    word clock as sync instead of Digidesign video "superclock." In that case
    you need to be on version 6.41.cs4.
    One workaround would be to create a 29.97 Non Drop Frame OMF, which will
    sync up with time code that will match number at every even second and will
    not drift. I don't think you can easily translate the frame rate of an
    existing FCP sequence, but you could find someone who can open it as 23.976
    OMF in Pro Tools and translate it to 29.97 ndf or import the track from the
    23.976 session into a 29.97 ndf timeline. In Pro Tools, its just a flip of a
    switch convert a sequence to a different frame rate."
    Just as I figured...his version of ProTools might not support 23.98.

  • Audio sync problem: exporting from FCP to Pro tools or soundtrack pro

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Final Cut Pro sound export for mastering.....sync problem
    Hey,
    I'm editing a 30 minute film and I have done most of the sound edit in FCP and Soundtrack pro and I want to now bring all the sound into pro tools to master the sound but every time i export sound into pro tools it seems to stretch by two or three seconds.
    I have tried OMF, AIFF, XML, and Quicktime audio file sut to no avail!!!!
    There are 50 tracks in the file so it is quiet large. It's not that there are handles of the file also as when I sync the file with the audio track with the video it syncs in one place but it is still out of sync in another.........It's as if the audio has been stretched!?!
    If anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated
    Keith

    Try mixing down the audio first. Sequence/Render Only/Audio mixdown.
    You could even try exporting the audio with the Export QT movie command using "current settings" and reimport that file, Add that mixed down file to a copy of the sequence. If it syncs in FCP I'd think it will sync on export too.
