Files relinked incorrectly when importing xml to FCP??

I exported an XML file from premiere for FCP but when it came into FCP all the audio reconnected to the wrong part of the file and some of the clips were out of sequence. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Sorry, I was wrong on this. Just did a test with one shot and it worked fine.
Describe your workflow. What are your source formats, etc.

File dialog box when importing XML?

Quick and hopefully easy question:
What's the javascript format for selecting an XML file manually? I know it's not this:
/* imports XML manually
myDocument.importXML=File.openDialog("Choose the current XML file");
I have my project working well, but I've decided to get the user to manually select the XML in case they've downloaded a second version named (for example) data-1.xml and not data.xml. Then the onus is on them to select the most up-to-date XML and we can also name the xml with a datastamp.
Thanks for this any all other help on this forum - I have little enough hair to pull out as it is...

HI Phil,
Lovely - the XML import works although I now need to get my head around XML story formatting. It's dropping all the XML into the first frame on the first page, which I understand to a degree, but also dropping the XML where I need it.
The issue I have with the XML import is the automated document creation has been built around a sort of hybrid flow- and frame-based XML import. Some of the XML drops into a couple of text frames on the first page (creation date, sections etc), then the rest of the document autoflows onto however many pages it requires.
It looks like I'll need to convert it to entirely flow-based XML import, which might be a bit of a head-scratch for me (being relatively new to this).
Thanks very much. No doubt I'll be back on here with more questions but this is a huge help.
<edit> I did 'fix' the XML, and it works a treat. The more I do, the more I understand.
Regards,
Simon.

FCP 5.1 crashes when importing XML files

appreciate that, but what we need to do is find out if its a problem with the import function or the files you are importing ... best way is to use the export xml function which we know shoud provide a compatible xml to test with the import xml function

Error when import XML

I am dealing with a INDD file with XML structure, after import the XML there is always an error occured when I validate it
How to declare it in DTD? Or any way to avoid it?

Especially if you are importing XML with tables, I would recommend creating an ID document with tables, either use the auto-tagging or create your own tags based upon your XML, then exporting it to look how the XML is formed.
Using the namespace as part of the table element should look roughly like this in your XML:
<Table xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/" aid:table="table" aid:trows="8" aid:tcols="5">
The above is simply from a quick export of a table in ID. But note that the definitions, the declaration, of what the element parts are follows the namespace portion.

When importing XML, how do I remove lines with labels but no content?

I am working on a directory whose content is supplied as an XML file. I've created an automatic layout with static text/labels for contact details (e.g. Phone, Fax).
When I import the file, superfluous lines with the static text and no content are created. I have 'Delete elements, frames and content that do not match imported XML' checked.
Is there a way of avoid creating these? I've tried doing a search and replace to remove these but this causes quite a few other problems.
Any help - much appreciated!

Hi Alison,
Did you create the posted XML file by extracting it from a larger file you've been using successfully? I ask because there seem to be a couple of problems with it which make me wonder how you got it to work at all, at least with the provided InDesign file's XML structure:
The immediate child element of the "root" element in the XML document is one called "step2 ". All of the values with which you are concerned are children of that "step2" element, and yet the structure in the InDesign document contains no "step2" element. As a result, when I import, I get nothing at all in my InDesign document's content (though the data are in the XML structure, buried in a newly-created "step2" element.
In both the XML and the InDesign document's XML structure, you have two different elements which are both named the exactly the same - "description" - (actually, in the XML document, there are three of them). When InDesign imports XML, it stops after the first "match" that it finds, so this will not work in any way that I imagine you intend it to. Based on the content of your InDesign document, I would think there ought to be two separate elements in your XML - named something like "step_description" and "category_description".
If, after getting this all straightened out, your question is how to somehow make the text of an empty element (e.g., <description></description>) disappear in the imported result, there are a few possibilities:
Get rid of the text inside the tag markers in your template/base document - for example, instead of having "[step_description]" (where the "[]" represent the tag markers), just make it be "[]". That way, if there is no text value for "step_description", there will be no text left after the import. However, if you put a end-of-paragraph in your template/base file, that will still be there. In most cases, that's not desired, so you might want to put the empty tag ("[]") in the text flow without a carriage return/line break. If you do that, you will need to include the carriage return in the XML data (which admittedly slightly violates the notion of separating presentation from content). Rather than the xml looking like this:
<step_description>This is the text of my step description.</step_description> you would need to make it be this:
<step_description>This is the text of my step description.</step_description>
(having added "" to represent the carriage return (ASCII character 13).
As above, make the tag an empty one, include the carriage return in your InDesign template/base document, and then write (or have written) a script to run after the XML import to deal with such empty tag cases.
Upgrade to InDesign CS3, CS4, or soon, CS5, so you can take advantage of the "XML Rules" feature which was introduced in CS3. XML Rules will essentially allow you to automate the second option - running a script - as the XML import is taking place.
Excuse the long (and probably unclear) post. If I've misunderstood your question, then please excuse it doubly...

Frame Rate change when importing video into FCP 5

I am importing an HD h264 file into FCP 5. The video when opened in QT shows that it's frame rate is 30fps, what I exported it at. When I Import the file into FCP 5 it changes the frame rate to 29.97fps, which is causing major video/audio syncing issues. Any thoughts on how to stop the frame rate change when importing? I tried changing my system settings and audio/video settings before the import to match the file and it is still picking it up at 29.97, major headache especially since I'm cutting industrial.

yeah I'm kinda limited, working with video for the web and I'm making revisions as to what has been already posted. The H264s are the originals per say as we are using a screen capturing program to obtain the video, I could re export the originals at a truer format, but with the resources I'm given, its not truly the option I can afford to take. I've found a workaround through using imovie of all things, but I rather be in FCP. I've done some editing with h264s before and this is the first time I've seen this happen, it kind of reminds me of when I had an editor a few years back digitize video that was drop frame as non-drop.

Audio-yes, Video-no (totally black) when importing .mov into FCP X, please help!

Hello
I am trying to import some .mov files into Final Cut Pro X. The files were originally .RTS, shot from a Canon XHA1 in 1080i, I converted them to .mov using SmartConverter and they play absolutely fine in Quicktime. However, when I import them into FCP X, the audio plays fine, but the video just shows a black screen. The codecs of the .mov files are standard H.264/AAC. My other .mov files (from the same camera that were shot in 1080p instead of 1080i) import fine into FCP.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Laura.

Here's a print screen of the smart converter..

Say I take that XML, change all instances of aid:ccolwidth="24.0" to aid:ccolwidth="26.0" and replace
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="2">Alcohol</Cell>
with
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="2">Alcoholism</Cell>
'I save that XML.
In ID: Import XML... selecting "Merge Content", "only import elements that match existing structure" & "import text elements into tables if tags match"
The cell with "Alcohol" updates, but the column widths don't change.
Is this by design?
When I select "Append Content" I get a (new) table with the formatting (column widths) as specified in the updated aid:ccolwidth and of course, the updated content. When merging content are you giving up all rights to updating formatting at the same time?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hello,
The existence check on the Salutation descriptor is likely check cache, as it is the default. Because of this, when you merge the Salutation with id=2, it will check the cache and not find it and so register it as a new object instead. You have 2 options, the first is to read it instead of creating it new. The second is to change your existence checking option so that it will either go tothe database or assume existence so that it is more appropriate for how you intend to use these types of objects in your mappings. For instance, if you never plan to create new ones, assume existence might be more appropriate.
I suspect though that for most applications, reading the object first is the best option performance wise.
Best Regards,

Error when importing xml data

I am getting the following error when loading xml datafile to my Oracle XE database table. This data I exported from htmldb.oracle.com.
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00222: error received from SAX callback function
please help
George

George,
I expect that this is simply an incompatibility with the date format that was used for XML Import/Export as part of XE Beta. This is a bug that has been fixed for XE production and you will be able to freely export from HTML DB 2.0 and import into XE and vice versa.
Your NLS settings do not control this. The date format used for XML Export is fixed - a canonical date format is always used.
If you want to be able to import into XE Beta, your date fields probably look like:
<HIREDATE>2005-12-03T00:00:00.000</HIREDATE>Just remove the trailing .000 from your date entries.
<HIREDATE>2005-12-03T00:00:00</HIREDATE>
Note: This will only be necessary for XE Beta. You should not have to do this for XE Production.

Serious Error crashes CS and CS2 when importing XML

Hello,
I'm trying to import XML carrying text and images into a 130+ page brochure. I have been working on it for several weeks and have been re importing the XML successfully although something has changed.
Now when I try to import I get an error message and InDesign closes.
I've created new blank documents to test it and the initial import works fine. Although after items have been placed and tagged a re import causes an error message to pop up that states: Indesign has discovered a serious error and is shutting down.
There is nothing that we can see in the code that would cause this. We were trying to overcome a formatting issue and had tweaked the XML. but even after we returned the XML back to its original form we still get an error message. even in new test documents.
Any ised?

I don't work with XML, but in my experience, "serious errors" are often caused by bad fonts.
You might want to try changing the fonts in the code and see if that helps. You should also look through the error logs to see if you can isolate the module causing the problem. There should be a log in the InDesign application root folder, even if there isn't one in Event Manager.

No audio when importing AVCHD into FCP X? Simple solution.

After hours of trial and error and several phone calls to support, I figured out why my AVCHD footage (MTS files from a Canon vixia HF S100) had no audio when importing into FCPX. The solution was to simply uncheck the box - "Remove silent channels" - under Audio in the pop-up import window . That did the trick.
I had tried importing from a card reader, the camera and from an external hard drive and then tried 2 converter programs (MPEG streamclick and Wondershare Video Conerter Ultimate.)
Final Cut Pro X
OS X 10.8.2

It's usually something simple that can catch the best of us.

IPhoto gives import error "file not valid" when import more than one photo

Trying to import lots of photos.
Every time I try to import more than a few, I get an error that "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type of the files may not contain valid data)."
When I go back to importing just one at a time, it works fine every time.
I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library as well.
I have tried also not copying into the iPhoto library and copying into the iPhoto library (using Preferences/Advanced/Importing).
Any help would be great.
This is painful doing one-by-one, and each one I bring in shows as a separate event...
Every once in a while I will get lucky and it will import more than 5, though I will still get the error before it imports all selected. Ugh!

Unfortunately did not work.
And now a silly question - how do I get to be able to see my original iPhoto library? When I try to open it, I don't see any of the albums and mobileme galleries I had created anymore (though I can still see them on the web)

Captured .avi file much shorter when imported as Premiere CS3 clip.

I'm new to Premiere CS3. My first project is to convert several old VHS tapes to DVD. My analog camcorder plays into an analog video-to-Firewire converter (ADSTech Pyro A/V Link). The Firewire digital stream was smoothly captured by Premiere and sent to my NTSF-formatted scratch disk under MS Windows XP Pro. The single .avi file (about 5 GB) plays back nicely in Windows Media Player which indicates a total length of 18min, 34sec. But when imported into a Premiere project, only the first 1min, 18sec appears.
What's up?

John--
I downloaded and ran GSpot v2.70a on my AVI file. Lot's of data!
In the GSpot "Container" window it reports these lines:
File Length Correct
DV Type 2 AVI
Multipart OpenDML AVI (5 parts)
(41160 frames in first part, -96 frames follow)
The "Video" report window says "Codec(s) are installed" with the name "DVC/DV Video." Actual length is 22m, 46.979s (which differs from my original statement because there a stretch of blank tape conversion after the actual content).
I think I'll repeat the transfer and be watching at the critical times.
Thanks for the pointer to GSpot and also thanks, Jim, for your response.
