From DPS velocity to FCP

A friend has just bought FCS2 and has a large number of showreel clips he wants to move into FCP from his previous DPS velocity program running on PC.
He thinks the clips are DV PAL but they have a data rate of 37. ? and a frame rate of 59.? which i consider to be an NTSC frame rate. Sorry i'm not sitting in front of his machine so i'm not sure exactly what comes after the point.
I've tried changing the sequence settings to get rid of the render bars above the clips and have tried many different options to no avail.
I think the problem is he's exporting the files wrongly out of the old NLE. He says the DPS system is PAL only. The clips originated on Digibeta tape. How should he be exporting them in order to fit into FCP?
Cheers

Your actually doing the right way, as far as having a file that will be editable in FCP. There are other shareware softwares that convert DVD content to DV format, that are bound for FCP editing.
Anyway you do it, your going to loose quality due to the source content on the DVD already being compressed. That being said, let's address your audio. Your audio content must be 48Khz to be compatible with FCP and in AIFF format, or it will require rendering.
Being that the source video/audio is coming from a DVD and I just want to get the source converted with a fairly clear codec, I use the shareware Visual Hub, it does both the video/audio conversion in one shot, without allot of hassle.
If you want to do the conversion, using the current software you have like MpegStream Clip, (which does a very good job by the way) then you will have to deal with the audio by rendering it in FCP or converting it in Quicktime Pro to 48Khz AIFF, prior to bringing it into FCP.
If you convert to DV, and the audio is not 48Khz, FCP will render it.

DPS Velocity to FCP6

I've just bought a final cut studio 2 system and need to transfer my files from DPS Velocity. The footage was originally shot on film and transferred to digi beta 4:3 and ingested into the DPS system.
I have exported the files as uncompressed quicktime movies PAL 720 by 576 and imported them into a DV PAL timeline using DV pal easy Setup and settings. The audio won't play in sync and the dropping frames box message comes up every few seconds. I have tried changing the RT settings to no avail. I also notice that the frame rates on the clips in the browser are 59.94 while the data rates were 39.7 which does not sound correct to me.
What's the best way to get these files into FCP (or out of the other app) and what is the correct Easy Setup and Sequence settings once i get there. Alternatively should i be importing them into Compressor instead?
Very confused. Any Ideas?

Looks like you've maybe missed a few critical settings when exporting your uncompressed files. Can you force the frame rate to 25 fps?
If you're not running the media off of a drive that can handle the data rate of an uncompressed clip, then you will get dropped frames by definition. 40MBS is high even for uncompressed. Did you render with an alpha channel?
Can you post your hardware setup?

How to setup Compressor to create video from multiple sequences within FCP?

I am wondering how I can set compressor up to create videos from multiple sequences within FCP. When I click file -> export - > compressor for a sequence and go into the program, it doesn't allow me to go back into FCP. I just get a spinning beach ball. Is there no way to set it up so I can prep a bunch of fcp sequences within compressor and then click submit and walk away? I have over 100 sequences that need to be exported so it would be a little difficult to do this one at a time. Thanks.

Batch processing
*Step one. Make sure everything in every sequence is rendered.*
*Step two. Make a folder somewhere and name it something relevant.*
*Step three. In FCP select all you sequences that you want to compress and right click (option), choose Batch Export from the contextual menu.*
*Step three point one. In the batch export window click on settings and choose the folder you made in step two for the destination. Make sure Make Self-Contained is not check and include Audio and Video.*
*Step four. Click export in the batch window.*
Once that is done you can close FCP.
Now in Compressor
*Step five. Make a setting that will give you the output that you want (mpeg2, AC3, h.264, whatever). Make a destination for where you want to save the output.*
*Step six. Make a droplet from the settings you made in step five.*
You can quit Compressor now.
*Step seven. Take the files that you batch exported from FCP in step three and four and drop them on the droplet you made in step six.*

Re:Push notification error when publishing a new folio from DPS

I have run into a problem when publishing a new folio to our app from DPS Folio Producer. I published the new folio without a probelm, but when I pus the "Notify" button, I get an error message that an error has occured while sending the push notification. The push certificate has expired and that to upload a valid push notification, I should rebuild my app in DPS App Builder and to retry sending push notification. (See screen grab).
This is our first push notification for a recently approved app. I worked through all the instruction to create push notifications through DPS. And we tested everything and it was fine.
Our app is a free subscription, multi-folio app in newsstand hosted on the DPS server with DPS push notifications.
What am I doing wrong? I really don't want to have to bebuild/resubmit the app to iTunes to get this to work. It seems odd that the push certificate would be expired, we just created it last month.
Thanks!
Running most recent DPS version on a MAC OSX 10.9.2

Hi,
Direct saves to the server from MS Office over Webdav are not recommended when the versioning mode is Manual. The reason is that the actions of checking out & checking in the document need to be done from the Team Collaboration client and are not done from within MS Office.
Rather, set the versioning mode to Auto or Disabled and it should work just fine.
Thanks,
Jay

Cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

Try:
Share > Send Song to iTunes. In the dialog, turn OFF compress. That will create an .aiff version of your GB project.
Alternately, you can Share to iTunes. When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Create AIFF version.
When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Show In Finder -> drag it out to a more convenient location (or option-click-drag to make a duplicate in the new location you drag to.)
Import that file into FCPX.

Problem importing footage from Canon XF305 into fcp

I have footage from a card having recorded on a Canon XF305. I literally dragged and dropped card onto my desktop making sure not to change any file names. I am now trying to import this footage from my desktop into fcp. I have downloaded the canon fcp plugin but everytime I try to import the footage using the canon plugin preferences I get an error message which reads... "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media. Can anyone help me??

Hi there,
I've had no joy with this. Have tried everything. Just can't get footage into fcp any way I try. I have downloaded the plugin but I still get the same error message. "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
My work flow is as follows.
Open final cut pro. Go to log and transfer. Go to preferences within the log and transfer window and click on Canon XF plugin. Then go to import. Click on file on my desktop which is labeled as CLIPS001. Then error message comes up.
Memory card was dropped directly onto my laptop and onto a back up drive without changing any file names. Was thinking this would be straight forward.
Any help will be hugely appreciated. Am I missing something simple?

Upgrade to G5 and FCP 5 from a series of FCP upgrades, 1 through 4

I will be upgrading to FCP 5 on a new G5. I bought FCP 1.1, and have steadily upgraded to FCP 2, 3 and 4. Since the new G5 will NOT have OS9, and since I would need OS9 to install FCP 1.1 in order to upgrade to 2, 3, 4, etc., will I be forced to buy a FULL version of FCP 5, rather than simply upgrading? Has anyone else worked around this problem? Thanks, Michael Lengel

If you've bought the Final Cut Studio Upgrade, then
you'll need the serial numbers for all the apps that
were in Produciton Suite.
Production Suite consisted of FCP HD, Motion 1, DVDSP
3.
An FCP 1, 2, or 3 serial number will not allow an
upgrade to Final Cut Studio. Only an FCP HD serial
number (which is the same as an FCP 4 serial number.)
I'm afraid this is not entirely accurate, Brian.
If you're buying the $499 FC Studio upgrade (aka 'from Production Suite'), then yes, you'll need to provide the serial numbers for the 3 apps.
However, if you're buying the $699 FC Studio upgrade (aka 'from any verision of FCP'), then all you'll need to provide is your original, standalone FCP serial number.
In my case, was the latter (upgrade from FCP) and my original serial number is from FCP 3. Since I did an erase and install of Tiger prior to installing FC Studio (aka no FCP on my system, just like a fresh G5), I was only asked for my FCP serial number. I plugged in my FCP 3 SN and was good to go.
Of course, my original reply reflected the fact that Michael only mentions upgrading to FCP 5. (You're saying that path is different than upgrading to Studio, Brian?)

PROBLEM SOLVED "export clips from Color back into FCP & add transition"

If I have two clips that you cannot place a transition in between here is the only thing that worked for me.
I discovered this problem after I exported my movie clips from FCP 6 to Color and imported the color corrected files from Color back into FCP 6. I could no longer add transitions to any of my clips unless I made the following changes.
1. 1st check to see if the video clip has an audio track underneath it. If they are not linked Select the audio and the video track to be linked, hit Command "L" and you will see an underline under the audio and video name to show that they are now linked. Do the same for the adjoining video and audio track.
2. Next select all of the clips after the video clip you just selected by typing "tttt" this changes to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool". Click on the track after the video track you just linked and it will select all of the tracks thereafter. Hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and move all of the selected tracks away from the previous video/audio track.
3. Next type "RR" this will change to the "Ripple" tool. Now click on end of the video track on the previous video clip and type -15 (for negative 15 frames). Then click on the beginning of other video clip to the right that you linked and type +15 (for plus 15 frames).
4. Type "tttt" to change back to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool" the hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and drag all tracks back together again.
5. You may then drag and drop your transition in between both video clips.
I hope this helps someone...this is the only thing that worked for me!!!
Number1talent

I am working with mostly DVCPro ftg, with a few clips in MiniDV. I did have roughly 10 clips with speed changes, but they exported fine two weeks ago, when I did this the first time. (Actually, it didn't keep the speed changes, but it did export with media to FCP).
The clips do have reel numbers and seem to be of the right length per clip but there's just no picture and no assoicated media with which to relink the clip.
I'm on Color 1.5.3
Any possible ideas? Thank you for your help...

Renamed our customized Velocity JAR from mm-velocity-1.4.jar to velocity-dep-1.4-flex.jar.
The standard Velocity name for this JAR, which is built by Velocity's "jar-dep" target, is velocity-dep-1.4.jar. We append "-flex" to indicate that we've customized it, just as for our customized Batik JAR.
This change affected the mxmlc classpath in modules/compiler/build.xml, the packaging scripts, and the Eclipse projects.

Unregister from DPS service

Hello:
I have created my Acrobat ID and logged into DPS portal with it but now a customer wants me to join his DPS to help him on some features but when he adds me using the Account Administrator Panel, he is getting a message like this:
"The email address you entered is already a Digital Publishing user. Please choose a different Adobe ID or create a new Adobe ID for the user"
Is it possible to unregister that email account from DPS so my customer can assign it to his DPS account under Account Administrator Panel?

It would take you a lot less time to just add a new email address.

Ad Hoc distribution with app built from DPS folio

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to deploy (ad hoc) an app built from the DPS tools. If it is, what are the implications and the methods? Currently, the only way that I am able to build iPad applications from DPS folio documents is from the Viewer Builder. Are there extra steps that are required to distribute these .app files via ad hoc? Thanks.

Can't capture HDV from Sony z1 on FCP 7

Hi,
I have set 'easy setup' to HDV (I have also tried HDV Fire wire basic) I've followed tutorial on all the set ups to capture. But when I go to capture, FCP can control the play buttons and I can see the time code on screen but there is no picture or sound coming through to capture and is says 'Capture was aborted due to no incoming data from device'.
I have checked everything.
I followed all the suggestions in an older discussion in this forum -
Unable to capture HDV footage with FCP 5.1
This was the last post in that discussion:
"Re: Unable to capture HDV footage with FCP 5.1
May 23, 2010 4:37 PM (in response to MrMajesticMole)
I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was having the same problem as you. Although you say the camera playback is set properly, please recheck this. go into your camera's playback menu>menu>standard set>VCR HDV/DV. Unplug your firewire from the camera. Make sure camera is set to HDV NOT auto. replace firewire cable. Now open FCP. Go in Audio/video settings>A/V devices (farthest tab on right). In box for playback edit to tape different from video output (make sure it's checked) mirrored (checked) Video playback 1080i50, Audio HDV. I hope that works now."
I followed all these tips and nothing has changed. This is the first time I am using HDV in FCP. I have used the same Sony z1 camera to shoot and capture DV footage in my current FCP set up and I've had no problems.
The only wierd thing is that under easy set up I selected HDV first with 'all rates' under frame rate. When that didn't work I tried "HDV fire wire basic". Then I tried to put the frame rate in a 50fps. When nothing made any difference I put the frame rate back to all frame rates and while still on Format: HDV selected HDV 1080i50 and also have tried HDV 1080i50 with 'all frame rates' and everythime I go back, it's defaulted to 'HDV 720p50' in the 'use box and frame rate 50fps.
I would really appreciate help with this.

Hi Russ,
Thanks for getting back so quickly.
I was feeling hopeful because I realised I had the fps rate set to 50 and when you said 25fps I thought that must be it. Unfortunatly it hasn't worked at all. It keeps saying there's no data incoming data from device, yet it acknowledges the timecode and I can control the camera from FCP.
I double checked my settings and made sure the camera was on before launching FCP. I am going to study the document you included to see if there is anything else I am doing that isn't working. I am wondering if there are some audio settings mucking it up.
If you have any other thoughts let me know. I will let you know if I figure it out.
Cheers,
Carolyn

Importing a project FROM Premiere Pro to FCP - Any alternative to EDL ?

Hi, when I google this issue - trying to get a project from Adobe Premiere Pro (for instance CS4) to Final Cut I am always terribly frustrated to find only references to the fact that APP imports XML (and now in 4.01 with better support for Final Cut Pro XML). But APP only exports EDL, and that is a very limited platform for talking accross the programs. Does any one have a better solution? Is there any external software for converting an APP project into XML? Can anyone hint as to why Adobe doesn't include "export to xml" in the export menu (like Final Cut Pro so elegantly does) other than fear of people taking their projects and running away to Final Cut Pro (which doesn't make any sense at all, and is no way of dealing with users' needs). Because it would seem that they only want us to be able to move stuff from FCP to APP. But what about us, who desperately need to move in the other direction?! Any light on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and a happy 2009.

+I would indeed like to do this test. To what email do I send a zipped file to?+
http://www.automaticduck.com/contact/
+And also, if I may keep bothering you on this issue: Granted that APP projects are XML, still, Final Cut Pro projects and Avid Projects are NOT XML, they can just interact well with certain forms of XML (type 1,2,3 etc, but apparently not prproj), correct? (a curiosity)+
Correct, Final Cut Pro project files and Avid project and bin files are not XML. Final Cut Pro has the ability to export and import XML files that are formatted as XML. XML is a flexible file format, the files can web pages, preference files, document files, just about anything. Apple has defined an XML format that can be used to interchange project data with Final Cut Pro. For a lot of good reasons it doesn't make sense for third parties to write or read FCP project files directly so Apple developed a method to write and read project data through another format. XML is an excellent choice because it is so easy to work with, XML files are simply text, easily read and edited and written. Avid systems use another file format for interchange with other manufacturers, AAF. AAF is not XML.
A lot of editors first heard of "XML" via Final Cut Pro's use of it as an interchange format, so it isn't surprising that these editors equate XML with FCP. It is a bit pedantic of me to drive home the point, but I just want you to clearly understand the issue.

Migration from DPS subscription to Creative Cloud

Hi there,
I come to this forum for a DPS account problem because no other form of Adobe support seems able to solve my problem.
I have been using DPS since the beta days and then subscribed to DPS professional although I create only Single-folio apps (no other product choice at the time).
When this yearly subscription was about to run out, I considered migrating to Creative Cloud, which had been released by then and seemed perfect for my needs: CS6 and as many Single-folio as I needed to produce.
Right now, with my Creative Cloud subscription working fine, I can create my folios to the point where I transfer them directly to the iPad; no problem this far. But it’s when I would need to open the App Builder and get a single-folio app generated that I’m stuck. When I enter my Creative Cloud credentials (with an Adobe ID which happens to be the same I used for my former DPS subscription), I get a message that my DPS account has been deactivated. It seems my Adobe ID is still linked to the DPS subscription that ran out and isn’t identified as a Creative Cloud account…
Here’s the whole message (translated from french): ‘This account has been deactivated. Your DPS subscription isn’t up to date, try another ID or contact your Adobe representative to update your account’
I tried Instant messaging support to end up reading there was nothing the support person whom I was chatting with could do. So I tried phone support, not successful either. I’ve tried getting into my Creative Cloud settings to see if I could create another Adobe ID, but found nothing. To this day, I’m still unable to open the DPS App Builder and generate an app.
Maybe there’s something I’m missing. For info, all my software is up to date.
If anyone has a clue as to where I could try next to get that problem solved, it would be more than welcome, I’ve been unable to produce any single-folio app for more than a month now.
Thank you beforehand.

I figured this was the problem, but I was hoping it would’nt have to come to canceling CCM subscription and purchasing a new one. But if it’s the easiest way, then that’s what I’ll do.
Thank you very much for the swift answer.
