From Premiere Pro CS4 to Final Cut Studio 3 (2009)

Right now I work with Final Cut Express, but am considering upgrading to FCS2009 while also upgrading from just Photoshop CS3 to Master Collection CS4 to maintain interoperability with friends and colleagues who use either suite. I primarily work with Apple's software, but occasionally have to work with Premiere Pro files. I know I can go from FCS to Premiere, but I don't want to finish in Premiere. Does anyone know if I can go back and forth between the two programs w/o converting or rerendering as I can from FCS to Premiere?
Thanks

Jim, some people (maybe not that many) are FCP X editors, so it's a good feature.
Also, I personaly find Premiere 10 years back in terms of editing. FCP X in my opinion has more editing features to make my life easy. The last release has also been a great update.
I have been editing in Premiere the whole year 2013, and I can't go back to the "old fashion" editing since i started editing in FCP X. but that's a matter of preference. The problem is that the other editors in my office use Premiere, so XML exchange is a must.

How do I export from Premiere Pro CC to Final Cut Pro X?

Here are my system specs:
iMac (late 2012)
Fusion Drive
Processor 3.1 GHZ Intel COre i7
Memory 16GB 1600MHZ DDR3
OSX 10.9.1
Running
Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1
and FCP X 10.1
Hello there,
I have a fairly complex 3:00minute sequence that I want to export from Premiere using XML and then import into FCP X.
I exported and the tranlation error log was too long so I duplicated, shortenened and simplified the sequence and the translation errors seemed much more manageable. I quit premiere pro and ran FCP X. Import->XML And the XML files were all greyed out! I couldnt even select them. I tried compying the entire project file including a copy of the XML into FCP and still no luck. Am I missing something here?

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error. Is there a way to go around this step? Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality? Anything I can do?
Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
Thank you

as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
1.) system
2.) Assets
3.) Project
4.) OE
5.) Bugs
This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
Good luck,
Hunt

Cannot export media from Premiere Pro CS4

I am unable to export media from premiere pro cs4. The process I go through is as follows
select files/sequence I want to export
select file menu
scroll down to export
select media
nothing happens, premiere pro "freezes", as though it was going to open up adobe media encoder but does nothing, premiere pro can be "unfrozen" simply by pressing esc.
I have tried doing all of this with media encoder open and still nothing happens. if anyone has any suggestions please throw them my way. thanks.

Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence. Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files. I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right. Here's what I've done to force the issue. Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp. Create a new project. import the audio in the new project. And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project.
Good luck

No, FCP X will only work with Compressor 4.

Exporting 5.1 ac3 audio from Premiere Pro CS4

Hi there,
I wonder if anybody can help me out with exporting 5.1 ac3 audio from Premiere CS4 version 4.1.0?
I have a 3min long HD 5.1 clip that I need to cut down to 60seconds and add fade transitions to. The final clip will be used in a media player with very specific spec - the clip needs to remain HD 1080p with a frame rate of 29.97 and a maximum CBR of 38. The audio must be 5.1 aac. The format can be mpeg 2 or h.264. The overall quality loss needs to be minimal.
Up to now I have been cutting up footage that only needs to be stereo and I found the best way to to this while keeping quality was to use Prem Pro and export as mpeg 2 1080p 29.97, quality:5, bitratre: CBR 38, audio as mpeg layer 2 (as these clips were stereo only). These clips played back fine and looked great so I wanted to keep the 5.1 clip process as close to this as possible.
So far all I have been able to get from Premiere Pro is an audio codec called DVD_LPCM which the media player will not recognise. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to 5.1 audio so I may be doing something obviously wrong...
- I have purchased the 5.1 surcode codec and its activated.
- I have started a new AVCHD (I need 1920x1080) 1080p 29.97 project with a 5.1 audio master
- The orignal file is an mpeg which I have pulled into PPro and selected Clip > Audio > Breakout to mono
- I take the 6 mono channels in the project panel and put them into thier own mono tracks in the sequence.
- the video I use is the original mpeg with the 5.1audio muted in the sequence.
- When i select each track in the project panel and go to Clip > Audio > Source channel mappings, I see that track has already been allocated a source channel. So I go to the Audio Mixer panel and adjust the 5.1 panners for each tyrack according to what the Source Channel Mapping window has told me - Audio 1 is is L, audio 2 is R, audio 3 is LS, 4 - Rs, 5- C and 6- LFE
- I cut the video and all the mono track to the 60seconds I need and export using these settings:
Video - exactly as before
Audio -
Format - Dolby Digital, Codec - SurCode, Audio Coding Mode: 3/1 (L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs - 5.1 Surround), LFE: on.
The clip exports with DVD_LPCM 5.1 audio. Is it to do with the AVCHD preset? Could anyone help me get aac? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Using AME and the SurCode Plug-in, here's how the dialog screen looks for the Audio Tab in PrPro 2.0. It should be similar in CS4:
You do have the Minnetonka SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in, right?
Good luck, and hope that this is helpful.
Hunt
PS - note that in the screen-cap, I have composited the dialog box, as though it fully displayed, with no need to scroll it. Depending on your display, you may need to scroll, and your scroll bars will look different from what you see here - just ignore that part of it.

Is Quicktime Pro included with Final Cut Studio?

Wikipedia's article on Quicktime Pro says that a Quicktime Pro license comes with Final Cut Studio. Is that true?
I have OS X 10.5.8 and FCS 2, but I can't even tell if I have Quicktime Pro. I see Quicktime Player in my applications folder (version 7.6.6), but I don't see Quicktime Pro.
Is Wikipedia right that I got a QT Pro license with FCS? If so, how do I activate it?
If not, do I just purchase the upgrade from the Apple Store? How do I install/activate the upgrade it?
Thanks

I'd like to re-open this topic. I'm not sure that I have QT Pro either. I recently upgraded the OS to 10.6.4--which included a new QT Player [10.0 (114)]. None of the pro features are there--or the old preferences (or the QT System Prefs). I don't use QT Pro features much, and it's only been about a month since the upgrade, so I didn't notice until now. I used to have it. Did I miss something?

MacBook Pro Problem with Final Cut Studio

For some reason Final Cut Studio will not run on my MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It loads then disappear. The only version that worked was 5.0 but felt very slow so im thinking it was using rosetta. After reinstalling OSX hoping that would help. Still that didnt help. I installed 5.1 then used Apple Software Update to download all the update. All update was install but still nothing works. Well if this post seems similiar to someone else post please point me to the right place. any answer will help thanks. I've read the support CPU but didnt see any information on whether it support the Core 2 Duo.

no reason it shouldn't work, and work very well at that.
do none of the FCS apps work, or is it just FCP?
if you have just finished a full reinstall, then for good measure you should run Repair Permissions from /Applications/Utilities/Dissk Utility
it may also be that the preference files are corrupted (try FCP Rescue http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ )
also try the prebinding thing ... see this post by Brian Conner http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3961108&#3961108 or the apple technote http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93984

Trouble with the round trip from Soundtrack Pro 2 to Final Cut Pro

I have edited a home movie together. I then have sent the sequence to Color for grading and then after completing the Color changes and Rendering. I sent it back to Final Cut Pro. It starts out working fine but during the transfer process it stops at somewhere between 50% and 60%. It is during the "Importing XML Data" phase. It just sits there and does not change and I have to force quit to get out of it. The exact same thing happens when I try to round trip from Soundtrack Pro 2 back to Final Cut Pro. So I am unable to make use of the changes I make in these programs.
This is a round trip process that I have successfully made many times before. Nothing has changed. I am working in Final Cut Studio 2 with the latest updates on an Intel Mac. Any advice on how to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Upgrading Final Cut Pro HD to Final Cut Studio

Hi guys,
I literally just got the upgrade to Final Cut Studio. I was wandering the best way to go about upgrading my software.
1. Should I just stick in the disc and run the upgrade.
or
2. Should I uninstall my old software and then run the upgrade.
also this is the $699 version for upgrading from Final Cut HD. So do I have to have Final Cut Pro HD installed to run theis upgrade.
Thanks,
James

Render quality drops when importing sequences from Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
I have both AE and Premiere Pro CS4, and, because my Media Encoder doesn't work (a common problem, apparently), I import my sequences into AE to render. However, I've noticed a marked drop in quality in the sequence when imported into AE as opposed to when it's in Premiere Pro. It's comparable to a "Full" dropping to a "Half" when changing preview render quality in AE. What am I doing wrong? Is there some simple way to match the quality of the AE Comp (that has the PP sequence in it) to what the original Premiere Pro project has? Should I not be putting the PP project into a new comp in AE before I render it out? Is there another way that can retain the quality of the original Premiere Pro project?
This is urgent, as I need this rendered by Monday. Any help would be appreciated! Obviously, this is the first major project I've done this "workaround" with. I wish AME worked, but it doesn't for me.
Thanks!

By default, the Ram preiew resolution is adaptative and not full quality, as it's just to "preview". You can switch this behavior to full quality, and by default, when you render, it will always be "Full quality" before being compressed by your output module.
You can check the Ram preview doc and the rendering doc from the AE help.
Hope that helps,
Seb

Will my work from FCE 4 move to Final Cut Studio easily?

I'm upgrading from FCE 4 to Final Cut Studio. I'm assuming I'll be able to bring over all my FCE 4 work right into Final Cut Studio. Is this a complicated or impossible process?
