Final Cut Pro XML

Is it possible to convert an apple XML 4 file to an XML 3 file for import into Final Cut? I originally exported in Final Cut Pro 7 as an XML 4 file, I am trying to open the file in Final Cut Pro 5.

When you reimport the exported project XML to FCP, do you get the full project or just the single bin/sequence? If you get the full project then it sounds like you need Premiere help, not FCP help ... have you tried asking on the Adobe forums? If you only get the single bin/sequence then it seems you might have inadvertently selected those prior to creating the project export. Try making sure that your FCP Browser window is active and that you have not selected anything within that window prior to using the File > Export > XML command. If that still causes issue then you might try using an earlier FCP XML version.
Hope it helps

Now I am working for panel in Premiere CC so working on HTML 5 panel and qe dom scripting(.jsx).
In some jsx examples i got there is script to export sequence as final cut pro xml but cannot get the code for project export.
project.activeSequence.exportAsFinalCutProXML(entire_out_path);
Also please let me know if there are any kind of reference available about all the functions and properties in the pe dom scripting for premiere pro cc.
I am using premiere pro cc 7.1, windows 7, Eclipse Kepler.

Export a Final Cut Pro XML file problem about translation issue

When I export the final cut pro xml file, there is always translation issue like that 'Transition <....> not translated, Cross Dissolve used instead.'
Most of the transition type can cause the translation issues except the wipe and cross dissolve.
Is there any body knowing the reason? Is that OK?
By the way , I am using the trial version of cs5

Hey Ani_,
I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
Import your footage into Premiere Pro
Name your clips (helps find things later on)
Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do. You will notice you have no errors on the export.
Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.

Final Cut Pro XML from Premiere Generates Blank EDL Spreadsheet from Online Widgets

Using CS6, I am trying to create a spreadsheet based off a Final Cut Pro XML generated from Premiere Pro. I upload the XML to two different widgets (one of which being http://192.168.3.232/ingest/uploadFile.php), but then the spreadsheet that generates is blank, except for titles at the top of the columns (such as "Track #", "Shot #", etc. for this EDL). I've used these widgets to create EDL spreadsheets numerous times before, using both CS6 and CC, and this is the first time they've created blank spreadsheets.
Any help you could give would be much appreciated!

Sort of a work around I am testing:
I have a cool script to open FCPro projects in AE. Sort of a free Automatic Duck. I was going to do this:
Remove all effects and proprietary tracks in FCPro, as some cause problems with this script. Trial and error here.
Use the free script FCP2AE to export to AE (it's hard to find now)
Open the timeline in AE via the script FCP2AE
Export that from AE as PPProCC 2014 project
Open in PPCC2014
That may work, it may also work just to remove all effects and then save the XML and open in PP CC 2014. Again sometimes it does work. The simpler the FCPro project the better.
Another option
I was able to open the FCPro audio only OMF in Audition. Then I exported via XML FCPro format from Audition and this opened the audio tracks in PPCC2014. The stereo tracks were broken and placed on two mono tracks so you'll have to address that one.

There never was a trial version of FCP7. The application was only ever sold as part of the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. You might still find copies on eBay.

Import Failure-- Final Cut Pro XML

I am editing a short film with my school imacs and I want to bring that project home to add my music and sound effects in premiere pro CS6. I Exported an XML file from Final cut pro 6 with standard settings. I copied the xml file to a flash drive and brought home to my windows 7 PC with Adobe Premeire Pro CS6 installed. When Import the XML file from my flash drive i get the error-- This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be asociated with this file type. I checked the codec of the XML and it is <codecname>Apple ProRes 422</codecname>. Any help?

When you reimport the exported project XML to FCP, do you get the full project or just the single bin/sequence? If you get the full project then it sounds like you need Premiere help, not FCP help ... have you tried asking on the Adobe forums? If you only get the single bin/sequence then it seems you might have inadvertently selected those prior to creating the project export.

Final Cut Pro XML for entire project?

Hi,
I would like to import my entire final cut pro 7 project (20 bins, 10 sequences, 300+ clips) to Premiere CS5.It is very important that the structure that I have setup be maintained (bins, sequences and the clips within them) About two months a ago, I did this without a hitch.
This time I can't seem to get more than 1 bin and 1 sequence to export from FCP. I checked the master clips, but still 1 bin, 1 sequence.
Help would be greatly appreciated

Send to - Final Cut Pro XML data not seeing my Color render

Sup folks,
As always I did some lurking on these boards and consulted the manual about this issue.
Nada.
I've rendered my shots. They were all queued. They were all rendered.
When I use the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command I get the "not all your clips were rendered" warning. I click yes to see what I will get.
FCP imports the XML data and I get nothing. All of the clips in my FCP timeline generated through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command are all of my original media prior to my color workflow. Not my graded Color renders.
I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
I thought that would fix my problem. It didnt.
So again: my issue is that even with my shots all rendered correctly (i checked them in QT) the XML being sent to FCP through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command is not hooking up with my renders.
Deadline tomorrow.
As always,thanks for your time

I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did >update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
If I'm following the sequence correctly, you rendered your material to a local drive. Then you moved it, changed the paths (in COLOR), and then tried to "Send to... FCP". Is this correct? If so, doomed to failure. In your case, you may have even moved an empty folder.
There is an ironclad and non-negotiable series of events in rendering and initiating the roundtrip. Many users regard this as a "bug". One of the first things that a user should always do is set up all the target paths before even doing the first grade. But it is essential that the target render path be set up PRIOR to loading the Render Queue. COLOR creates the receiving folder at that time, and that is where the media will go no matter what you do after the RenderQueue is loaded. Change the path, change the format... change whatever you want... the deal has been done, and all will be ignored. However, once the media is rendered and you choose Send To... FCP, then the original XML that FCP sent will be modified by COLOR and passed back to Final Cut. COLOR does NOT,repeat, NOT generate EDLs, XMLs, or any of that stuff. It only modifies original lists. That you modified the Media, Render and Project paths (probably only in the User Preferences tab) is meaningless once the project has been rendered. The Render path for this individual project is determined in the Project Settings pane, along with the render dimensions and format. However, COLOR will observe a path change AFTER the render, and edits the XML re-export to try to find the media in the newly named directory. Of course, your media is actually elsewhere, and you get a blank sequence.
Lastly, make sure that you SAVE the project after renders, to retain the "rendered" clip status -- or COLOR won't remember any of this.

Failure of Logic Pro to translate Final Cut Pro XML data

I have been running some tests to debug a problem with audio dissolves failing to work when transfered to Soundtrack Pro. I considered mixing my FCP project in Logic Pro using the export to XML feature in FCP 5, then opeing the XML file in Logic Pro. (Hoping to get around the bug)
My simple test sequence in FCP fails completely in Logic pro.
Here is a posting of results.

It seems to me to be full of bugs. Dang, I would so like to mix and score in Logic Pro using my FCP project tracks.

Audio gone after Export to Final Cut Pro XML

Hi,
Whenever I export to XML, I can't keep working in Logic unless I Relaunch/Initialize CoreAudio. I get no audio playback otherwise. Logic works, just no meter deflection, sound, etc.
Is this a known bug or just my rig? Anyone else have this problem or is willing to try it?
Thanks, Randall

Export Final Cut Pro XML is crashing Premiere

No matter what I try, I cant get Premiere to export an XML. It always hangs at "Simplifying Project". Ive tried importing just the sequence I need into a blank project. I ve tried Project Managing the sequence down by consolidating, and also copying all files but the result is the same. The sequence is 1080p and has 4k and 2k media, but even when I Project Manage it and render 1080p files it hangs at the same spot.

Not a good idea to post your entire crash thread. No Apple employees participate on these forums and very few people have the time or inclination to read all that stuff - it may as well be in Dutch for all I know.
As you've posted no actual details about the codec you're working with, I can only suggest that 4GB RAM (despite being what Apple recommend) is not really enough for working with FCP X.
If you were importing a lot of files, it may have been what triggered the crash.
It shouldn't happen, but FCP X is a fickle application. Apple will sort it, but it will take time. Meanwhile, try to work within your iMac's capabilities.

Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

Hi,
I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

Error sending multi-track project back to Final Cut Pro, can't open XML

I am an experienced Final Cut Pro user but just tried using Soundtrack Pro for the first time on a real project. I sent the audio from my Final Cut sequence to a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, added a few effects and created some fade-ins and fade-outs, and then tried to Export back to Final Cut.
I selected "File > Export", named my file and selected "After Export > Send files to Final Cut Pro sequence."
Now in Final Cut an error appears that says "The document “Name.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro XML File” format."
Am I crazy or is something wrong happening here? I can get the exported audio files to appear in my sequence if I select "File > Import > XML" in Final Cut, but after this whole process Final Cut seems to be functioning unreliably (after closing Final Cut and re-opening, I even once got a similar error that said "Final Cut cannot open files in the Final Cut Pro Project File format", which is obviously crazy).
Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi,
i have the same situation. expirienced in fcp, new in soundtrack pro.

Final Cut Export XML: Command-line option

Is there a way to use a command-line function to automatically export the XML for a Final Cut (.fcp) file ? We need to see the clips that make up a .fcp file, and do reporting. Since we have thousands of these files, we need to automatically create the XML files without opening each file automatically.

Hey Ani_,
I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips.

Can Final Cut Pro Open iMovie projects?

I am just curious because I have a lot of clips into a project of imovie that I wanted to use in final cut pro but I could just copy all the clips but I wanted to check in advance to see if that was possible.

You used to be able to just open iMovie 06 projects in Final Cut but Apple made it a bit more complex.
In iMovie 08, select the SHARE menu and then click on "Export Final Cut Pro XML"
Save the XMl someplace fun.
Then exit iMovie if you're finished.
Back in FCP, right-click in the Browser window and select IMPORT and then click on XML.
Navigate to find the XML you just exported from iMovie, click on it, and open it.
A new sequence is created and you simply need to load that sequence (By double-clicking).
Everything is wonderful.
Warning, do NOT use the File | Open menu sequence which can locate and open the XML because this will cause the new COLOR program to load the iMovie Project and that wasn't so much fun.
