FCP XML project - pathurl: IP address needed instead of localhost

Hi everybody,
I need to load FCP projects (FCP 7.0) saved on another machine but the 'pathurl' tag containing 'localhost' is searching locally instead of network share.
Please, any idea how to save FCP XML project file with 'pathurl' having the current IP address instead of localhost ?
Thank you very much !

Hi Dan,
It's fairly unclear to me what exactly you want to do.
Do you mind giving more explanation about current and desired workflow?
You might give an example FROM WHAT URL to change TO WHAT URL in the XML.

Do I understand correctly that FCP does not generate these XML files?
So is your question about some import option in FCP?
The user is overwhelmed way too much by this manual replacement immediately after saving the xml file (large number of files),
So you are not the user? The user of what?
You can replace multiple items at once. I suppose all files had some url like " /localhost/FCP documents/CaptureScratch/projectname/filename" and that you only want to change the 'localhost' part of that URL into some 'IPHost'. Or whatever.
Have a look at the free [TextWrangler|http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler> texteditor. You might find its 'grep'-pattern replacement function usefull.
that's why I'm looking for some FCP settings or, I don't know, maybe some local Apache redirecting will have something to do with it, I'm not sure.
Is Reconnecting to the footage, once the xml is imported, no option for you.
If no, why not?

Today, i opened the FCP again, to make some changes, and when i enter to the project, it shows me as one big clip.....i dont see it says compound clip....and i tried anyways pressing break appart clips...but nothing....could it be that i made it compound before exporting it..? if so how can i recover the un-compound version >?

Running an fcp studio project (5.0.4) on macbook pro software

I'm running a project on final cut pro studio 5.0.4 and would like to
screen footage on a laptop - preferably on a new macbook.
i'm wondering if i can run a project that's compatible with both versions of the software. i'd like to screen and select scenes on my laptop - and then bring the sequences back into my fcp studio project.
thanks

Both versions of what software? You mean FCP 5.0.4 and FCP 5.1?
While you can open and update a 5.0.4 project to 5.1, once you do that you cannot open that project in 5.0.4. At that point you need to export an XML of the sequence and import that XML into 5.0.4.

Create .XML Project File from Scratch

Hi,
i am from germany, currently writing my bachelors degree creating an automated video editing solution based on final cut studio (yeeessss ... finally
I need to write complex final cut pro projects FROM SCRATCH in an EXTERNAL .XML editor using to greatly speed up the workflow. This means i am looking for any help regarding this topic, such as applescripts who can assist me in doing this.
(Example: Create an Final Cut (.xml) Project with applescript that has already included links to media on an external server, has music in it etc.)
I already have the "FinalCutPro_XML" reference and the "quickie_slate" Applescript which is a start. Any more tips where to look would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

i'd recommend you create an empty project file in FCP and export it to XML.
use the exported file as resource data, as it provides you with the basic XML project file container.
then you can just add the additional <parent> and <child> elements as required
also highly recommended would be the free XMLLib osax from Satimage, although it would be better if you learn how to do it with the built in libraries
for basic aplescript info, visit http://applescriptsourcebook.com/

Can't open FCP 7 project in FCP 6

Hi all,
I am running FCP 6.0.6 and I just got a project file that I need to open but it's a FCP 7 project file (and won't open on my system). I am trying to get them to export me an XML but that might not be possible. Would anyone be able to help me out and take my FCP project and export a XML that I can read on my system (or have any tricks that I can use to get it to open)? Unfortunately upgrading to FCP 7 isn't an option for us at the moment.
Thanks so much!

#45 - Opening projects with older versions of FCP
Shane's Stock Answer #45 - How to export your project to work with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro.
Versions of Final Cut Pro aren't backwards compatible. So a project created with FCP 6 cannot be opened with FCP 5...and this even goes into the dot-updates as well. A project created with FCP 5.1.4 cannot be opened by FCP 5.1.1.
Nope, for this you need to use XML. Export your sequence as an XML sequence and import that in the other version of FCP. XML v3 if for FCP 5.1 4 and FCP 6. XML v2 is for FCP 5.0, and XML v1 is for FCP 4.5. So if you need to go from FCP 6 to FCP 5.0.4, you'd use XML v2. For FCP 7 projects that you want to open in FCP 6, XML v4.
To export an entire project, select ALL the bins in the Browser and then choose FILE>EXPORT>XML.

How can I open FCP 7 projects in FCPX with Yosemite?

I can no longer get FCP7 to open than thus cannot export an XML file from FCP 7 to then use the 7 to X app. Is there any other way to open old projects in FCPX? I uninstalled 7 and now cannot re-install it either, so much for THAT solving the issue!

Unless you know someone with FCP7 who can open your project (they don't need the project media to do this) and make an XML for you to convert via 7 to X, then your best bet is to get FCP7 reinstalled on your computer.
First, read this:
Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4: Installation best practices - Apple Support
Look for the topic "Installing Final Cut Studio (2009) applications when Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 from the Mac App Store are already installed", about 3/4 of the way down the page.
If the FCS discs won't let you re-install FCP7 (it is grayed out as an option) because it thinks FCP7 is already installed, then download FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion (free) to remove the legacy traces of the installation -

My project index is pointed to the wrong project library and I need to change it.

My project index is pointed to the wrong project library and I need to change it.

All content from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so if you download those apps then it should be showin your account's id - if you've updated the email address on your account and it's showing the pre-update email address then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
If you haven't changed your email address then has anybody else downloaded or synced apps to your iPad ? If they have then only their id will be able to download updates to them

Can I combine codec m2v1 with apple ProRes 422 (HQ) in same FCP X project?

Can I combine codec m2v1 with apple ProRes 422 (HQ) in same FCP X project?
Everything else is same. 29.97, fps, 1920 x1080, Linear PCM, 48kHz, mono, .mov
If not, could I add the logo animation after outputting to compressor using QuickTime 7?
I'm re-wrapping footage from Canon XF100, which is why m2v1. I like working this way to preserve original footage.
I just had my logo animated and designer matched everything except the m2v1. Providing ProRes 422 (HQ)
Thank you for your thoughts. I'd like to avoid changing my camera footage to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).

Hi Mary,
I'm new to FCPX too!
When creating a new project, if you click on Use Custom Settingsand then ckick on the Custom checkbox in Video Properties, you can specifyexactly what you want!
If you need to change it after the project was craeted, I found that you can click and highlight on the project in the Project Library window, then go over to the "info" button . The Properties window will expand from the right side (above the "info" button . With Properties selected it will show you the present settings, if you need to change those settings, click on the icon of the WRENCH on the bottom of that dialog box (Properties). You can then change your settings.
Good luck, and happy cutting!

Premiere Markers export and import: Roundtrip via FCP XML not working

The objective of my project is to create a sports app that records markers and saves it in different formats of XML / CSV that I can then import in different NLE packages.
I have already succeeded with Vegas Pro but also want to support NLEs for MAC-OS.
In order to approach this analytically I have exported a very simple project with 1 sequence including 1 clip and 3 markers (with length zero and length > 0) and exported it
in FCP XML from Adobe Premiere CC and do a round-trip import it via FCP import into Adobe Premiere CC.
This round-trip does not work. Any insight why or any support what other mechanism will work?
Thanks
Thomas

let's go back to the purpose:
I have written a mobile app on which people can during a sports match capture the time of the important moments by pressing buttons.
I then convert the time information into an XML or CSV file that can be read by the different NLE. Given that Sony Vegas allows to import
markers independently from a sequence. Now I look at the same things for Premiere. This allows to edit the highlights very quickly vs watching
the entire match coverage again.
I try to replicate that on Premiere through the FCP XML, but now that the roundtrip works, the issue is that FCP XML in its structure wants a sequence.
I could imagine to provide a dummy sequence that can be overlayed by the real content just to preserve the markers. Any ideas?

TK

How to import FCP XML to FCPX?

The only problems people seem to be having is importing FCP XML into Adobe or other third party software. I can't even import it from one computer with FCPX to another computer with FCPX!!
The following error message occurs when I try to import the XML file;
The document "project name.fcpxml" could not be opened. The location is not available.
In fact I get the same error message when re importing the fcpxml file into the project that created it!
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I can now import the fcpxml from one computer to another HOWEVER I still have a big problem.
The footage that I shot was 1280 x 720 at 50fps - so I can create a smooth slo mo in post. In my 'original' project, I am usiing a 1280 timeline with a 25fps base so that when I 'retime' and 'conform speed' I get exactly what I want - the 50fps shot playing back at 25fps, thus creating slow motion.
When I export the xml and import it into another computer, there is a problem - The timeline is correct - 25fps 720p resolution HOWEVER the media that was previously 50fps 720p is now 25fps 1920p....
How/why does this happen and how can it be fixed?
Presumably it is xml import settings but I'm so far unable to achieve this...

FCP-X Compressor 3.0.5 (need chapter-markers)

Can I send a FCP-X-project to Compressor 3.0.5?
I just need to set DVD-chapter-markers in there!
Or do you have another idea how to set individual chapter-markers??

This is more evidence that Apple really is not catering to a professional audience. Their agenda for a while has been digital-only content. They focus on getting finished products to ipods, ipads, and apple TVs.
Even consumers have complained about iDVD being ignored over the years in terms of feature set. I bet the next iLife will be the one to not include it.

Open FCP 6 project files in FCP 5

Hey guys, I've got a client who has FCP 5 and wants to open a project file created in FCP 6. I'm well aware of the incompatibility of the two project files, but is there any way he can access the edit? I know I could do an EDL, but I'm not sure how savvy he is with the program so the easier the process the better. Thanks.

In the FCP 6 project, export an XML file of the project. Use that file to build a NEW project in FCP 5. More details are in the manual.

How to update older FCP X projects and Events in files attached to a AirPortExtreme USB connected drive?

Hi
I have a one generation Air Port Extreme with a 250GB USB drive attached.
I copied some older FCP X projects and events to that drive as a backup.
FCP X 10.1.4 has now been released and these older files need to be updated.
However when I click on the update command in FCPX none of these older files are recognized (greyed out)
but there is a note about selecting "SAN" drives.
A little searching seemed to indicate that I need to declare this file a Network Attached File for this to work.
The basic question in this forum is can i set up the USB disk on my APEx as a NAS?
If not, what are your suggestions?
Thanks
Barry
PS apologies but I also posted this on the APEx support site.

You don't update projects and events, you update the volume that contains the projects and events, which must be stored in the correct location.
Start here
http://www.fcpxbook.com/updates/101/
and then go on to the other updates.

Just installed FCP 6 and now can't open FCP 5 projects! HELP

Yesterday I was trying to get some help with an FCP project that would no longer open. After a number of (very good) ideas from this and other forums did not help, I gave up and purchased the newest version of FCP Studio 2, figured I would soon anyway.
Well, now I'm really in trouble. FCP 6 will not open my FCP 5 project. It says it will, but it just runs the striped line forever and the FCP says it is 'not responding'. I've seen this problem unresolved here on this forum from last July and I'm very very concerned and actually starting to panic. There must be a way to open my projects? If not, I'm so scr*d. Excuse my French.
Has anyone found a fix? I've deleted all of the renders from the project. Running on Leopard with plenty of space on drives.

I have 15 gigs space available on the hard drive. I'm afraid I'm not sure which ram you are referring to, but its an older G5 that is fully rammed out and the project I'm trying to open is 82 mb. The applestore person I spoke to assured me that my computer had what was necessary to run FCP 6, but my projects are going to get huge. There's no avoiding that, I'm afraid. They are CG and graphics and effects heavy. So I really do need to know how to cope with technical problems while working in large projects.
I deleted the older FCP and Soundtrack software before installation, but I don't think that's a 'clean install' as I'm sure there are remnant folders lying all over the place. If there is a 'clean install' button on the installation disc I received, I somehow overlooked it. I'd be happy for any instruction on this.
I would love to send the project to you, if you are willing to give it a go! How nice of you to offer! How would I do that?

Importing FCP XML

importing FCP XML, I get the error "The importer reported a generic error", Why? How do I import correctly? I did file> import, but got the error I noted.

Hi,
I am having a similar problem. I am trying to transfer FCP7 projects to Premiere CC. I did this once today with success. Exported xml from FCP and imported to Premiere without issue.
Later today I updated Premiere CC and my other Creative Cloud software. Since then I am having difficulty with this. I am performing the same steps and even tried importing through the media browser as suggested above. My error message suggests that something was corrupted. I checked out the path the message was showing me and there is no such file and I don't see why there would be. I have all the scratch disks set to a external hard drive.
I have attached a screen shot. Thank you!
