Geometry not translating into FCP

Hi, all. Just curious if anyone has figured out an FCP-->Color-->FCP round trip workaround scenario that includes Geometry room parameters. I'm striking out.
The media was shot on 16:9 720P/24, and I'm cutting it in (amazingly, in real time--nice work, Apple) with a ProRes HQ 4:3 NTSC sequence. After a round trip, everything else looks great: primary/seconday color settings, pulldown insertion, etc. However, I've done a number of repos and small camera moves in Color, and they disappear back in FCP. Experimenting with the first :30, I've got to say the autofeathering keyframes LOOK GREAT in Color, (very natural, quick and easy to set up, and smooth) but they do not come back in after rendering, no matter what I try.
It says in the manual and on the FCPS 2 site that Geometry room settings get translated into FCP motion parameters. That's not happening. Is this a known bug? FCP's motion control is so clunky, I'd be more likely to do it in After Effects, but that's a pain, since the controls are right here in front of me in Color.
Many thanks.

I realize this is an old thread, but here's the solution:
Just delete the .xml file from your project's container. You'll have to right-click on the project, choose "Show Package Contents", then delete the .xml file that's in there. Actually, maybe move it some place safe, even though it is a clone of the file you actually did use.
Once it's gone, Color is fooled into thinking that you didn't import this form XML, and you're good to go.
You might also have to delete the line in the project's .PDL file that has the <IMPORTFROMFCP> tag, I'm not sure. It was the first thing I tried and it didn't have any effect, but since I never put it back I can't be sure you don't need to do both things.
And I respectfully disagree about doing it there way or the highway. Since FinalTouch 1.x I've been doing all sorts of XML hacks and workarounds to make it do some things MY WAY I still can't get it to 4K with this DALSA footage I'm on right now, though

  • Text written into MS Word document is not translated into unicode format

    Hi all,
    I am creating a MS word document using OLE document management interface. Then I am adding some text fields with i_oi_form->add_field. My system is a unicode system. The word document is created but characters like "á" or "ñ" become strange things, somehow the interface is not translating the text into unicode. Example "Não más" becomes "Não más" on the word document.What am I missing here? How can I achieve to create on the word document exactly what I write in SAP ECC 6.0?

  • IPhoto Slideshow dooes not import into FCP HD

    Hi!
    I used iPhoto's export feature to create this mov file of my slideshow. The movie file came up to about 1.6GB (approximately 350 photos). The dimensions are 720x540. However i keep getting an error message when trying to import the file into FCP. I had to other smaller clips- of the same dimensions but had no problems importing them in. Does anybody have an idea why does is happening and what can I do to make it work?
    Thank you.

    I figured it out. < </div>
    Okie dokie but you owe it to the rest of us to explain what you figured out on your own.

  • Iphone 5 videos from iPhoto will not import into FCP

    Just bought FCP X and tried to import movies from iPhoto taken with my iPhone 5 and get a message that the file format is not supported.  Any suggestions?

    To late.  The videos were downloaded into iPhoto and removed from the iPhone.  I actually exported the videos to my desktop then imported them into FCPX without any problem.  It would seem to me that I should be able to import directly.  The video format (in iPhoto) is supported according to the apple web sight.  Any thoughts? 

  • Color XML Data Not Importing Into FCP

    When I finish rendering my clips in color and I send them to FCP, FCP says importing XML data and the progress bar stays at 50% and doesn't move. Anybody have any clue on what to do??

    You will have to troubleshoot the round trip for something illegal that you exported from the FCP timeline. A hung return XML indicates that it has corrupted because of an ambiguous instruction that COLOR hasn't been able to understand -- it may not even have anything to do with the media and how its constructed on the timeline.
    Unfortunately, the number of things that this could be is a somewhat lengthy list. You didn't encounter any obstacles with strange things happening on the COLOR timeline, apparently. Without the actual FCP timeline and what kinds of things are stacked on it -- impossible to say.
    But here's an example of a known behavior: A graphic still (like a Jpg) with a filter or effect applied to it will cause the rest of the media on the remaining timeline to be lost. It just won't come back on the FCP timeline, as opposed to hanging the import. Stuff like that, that doesn't usually get discussed under the "just hit the easy button" workflow.

  • JPublisher: oracle...literal.AttributeMap not translated into object type

    Hi,
    I have a problem to get a valid PL/SQL wrapper for the web-service at http://adostest.armstrongconsulting.com/DSX/DocumentServices.asmx?wsdl
    I use jpub to generate the web service callout (jar file and pl/sql wrapper) and the generation of that file completes without an error, but if I try to load the pl/sql package into the database it fails, because one of the generated object types has an invalid definition.
    -- Create SQL type for oracle.j2ee.ws.common.encoding.literal.AttributeMap
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE OBJ_AttributeMap AS OBJECT (); The object type for the java class oracle.j2ee.ws.common.encoding.literal.AttributeMap doesn't contain any attributes.
    Software used:
    -) Latest JPublisher 10g Release 10.2 (http://download.oracle.com/otn/utilities_drivers/jdbc/10201/jpub_102.zip)
    -) 10.1.3.1 Callout Utility for 10g and 11g RDBMS (http://download.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/dbws-callout-utility-10131.zip)
    -) Oracle DB 10.2.0.3
    Command used to generate files:
    jpub -proxywsdl="http://adostest.armstrongconsulting.com/DSX/DocumentServices.asmx?wsdl" -proxyopts=noload -package=ados -plsqlpackage=ADOS_WebServiceBTW, I noticed that the dbwsa.jar contains this class, but the "runtime" classes contained in dbwsclientws.jar which are loaded into the database do not contain this class. If I look into the previous version of the Callout Utility (10.1.3.0) at http://download.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/dbws-callout-utility-10R2.zip it is contained in the dbwsclient.jar which is loaded into the database.
    What is wrong or what can I do to get a valid object type mapping?
    Thanks
    Patrick

    Yes. We are calling a .NET web service as well.
    I got around the problem by the following steps:
    1. Forcing JPub to use the jar files that come with JDeveloper 10.1.3.3, rather than dbwsa.jar and dbwsclientws.jar.
    2. Upload the JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 web service libraries into the database
    3. Manually edit the JPub wrapper code (static methods) generated by JPub. I have to comment out all references to AttributeMap. Not sure why JPub wants to use it...

  • Missing saved usernames, passwords and not translating into English

    On Monday Firefox would not open. I received some message about my internet connection. Went to B&N because it has AT&T WiFi. Firefox open but when I open a foreign magazine the translate did not automatically and the Translation button did not appear. Later on Monday I opened a site that required a username and password that was remembered on Firefox but it did not appear. I have not been able to find out how to turn the Translation and the password Remembered back on. I saw a site that says a software program had to be download in order to correct this program but I did not download the software.

    Did you check the settings in the Google Toolbar?

  • Text not translating into another language

    Hi!
    When I'm working in Robohelp HTML, and I select topic langauge and change to another language, it does not change the text. I've even tried just selecting a paragraph and changing the language there, but still nothing happens. I'm not sure if something is not set up right with my RoboHelp 8 version, or what the deal is. I did notice that when I changed the language at the project level that the Contents, Index, etc. buttons at the top changed languages, but the text in the topics stayed the same. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or how I can fix this?
    Thanks.

    Hi there and welcome to our community
    You are unfortunately misunderstanding what this option is for. Different languages require different character sets in order to be rendered on the computer screen properly. All the language setting does is configure the page so it will use that character set. Another process has to occur where the text is converted from one language to another.
    Cheers... Rick

  • LT graphics are greyed out and will not load into FCP4.5

    Hello All,
    We have LT1.2 and FCP4.5 and everytime we create a text graphic in LT we have to render a QT movie or FCP does not see the file when using import file in FCP.
    The .ipr files are greyed out and therefore they will not import into FCP.
    Thanks for any ideas. I did here one idea about re-installing FCP and LT.
    Alex

    No. I doubt it has anything to do with sequence settings. That has happened to me on occasion but not for quite a long time. I was able to drag and drop the file into FCP when that happened.
    I don't remember it happening since the last update or two.

  • IMoive Quicktime not importing to FCP

    Hello,
    I have a quicktime that was created in iMovie that will not import into FCP. Any recomendations on exporting this differently or what exact format FCP will recognize the quicktimes as when they were created in iMoive?

    When I open the quicktime, I "export.." and I only have 10 options or so. Highest quality DV isnt one of them.
    Which one do you think is right? I already tried Q Movie.

  • Not able to import .motn files into FCP

    For some reason I'm not able to import .motn files into FCP. While in FCP, I use "send to motion" and uncheck the embed box. After motion opens and I add my motion content, I get the following error when trying to import the .motn file back into FCP "File Error: 1 files(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". What is strange is that I'm able to create another test FCP project with different media, and everything works fine. All tests and media are done on the same drive.
    I'm using the latest updates of everything FCP 5.0.4 and motion 2.0.1
    Any ideas anybody?

  • LiveType .ipr won't import into FCP - File type not recognized

    LiveType file is greyed out when trying to import into FCP as a Standard File type. If we change Standard File to All Files we get an error stating, "File Error: 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
    The project and media are on an external FWHD, originally edited on a G5, moved to the G4 FWHD with Media Manager.
    We've trashed FCP preference files, repaired permissions, checked ownership of files on the FWHD, created new LT files on the internal drive to no avail.

    This is usually two things: In compatible versions of FCP or a missing element that allows the .ipr files to be imported. I have forgotten what the enabler is but it's obviously working on your G5 or you wouldn't be asking the question. If you create a LT file on your G4, can you import it into FCP on the G$?
    (You can search the forum for similar problems, it comes up about twice a month.)
    That leaves the problem of incompatible copies of FCP. You have not provided that information. FCP is not backwards compatible.

  • Importing a Quick Time file  into FCP 5.14 file is not recocnized

    Hi, I purchased a stock footage in quick time format from istockphoto. Importing it it gave me an error that the file was unrecognized. It plays OK on me desktop using Quick Time. I exported as quick time file, using DV NTSC... no luck.
    Than I exported as AVI with DVD NTSC compression, and it solved the problem.
    Why FCP reads AVI (Windows format) but doesn't read his own... I am puzled!
    If anyone knows the answer, I will appreciate.
    thanks,
    Message was edited by: Girshon Rutstein

    First of all thank you all you guys for your help! Secondly Apple webmasters should fix the problem with solve and helpful buttons. It gives an error.
    iMovie has no problem to read this file.
    Yes Final Cut Pro is a sensitive tool. This is not the first time I am running into this kind of issues. Last week I created a particle Illusion effect as HD mov file
    Importing into FCP it showed me only 1/4 of the screen. I fixed this by creating the AVI file. The conclusion is (I am maybe wrong) that Apple should work on the quick time issues.
    Thanks again!

  • HELP PLZ Importing stereo sound into FCP brings it in mono and not linked!?

    Hi, I am needing to import some sound which is stereo. On the flash card it came on I have channel 1 and channel 2...now being primarily a avid editor im used to selecting the both clips and it links together to make one when imported. I have found when I import these into FCP it brings them up as seperate mono tracks...I need them to be linked as i'll be doing multiclips for A and B cameras....
    Also in my tracks section it says 2A for both audio tracks...Is there something im missing or I need to do in order to get it to work.
    Thanks for the help

    Hi, could you be more specific? I have tried marking in points on both channels 1 + 2 at the clapper board...I then dropped them onto the sequence separately and then selected that...then did the Stereo pair thing...however its not doing it...what is it im doing wrong?
    Sorry to be pain...its all a little alien to me at the moment...

  • Trouble importing HDV mini DV footage from my Sony HVR Z7U into FCP 6.0.6

    Cannot import HDV mini DV footage from my HVR Z7U camcorder into Final Cut Pro
    I can Import the footage as an NTSC 720x480 signal.
    One consistent answer is to make sure that in camcorders menu settings that the IN/OUT REC - iLINK SET is set to off.
    No Luck, no communication with FCP in that mode.
    That being said when cameras ilink is on I can import 740/480 NTSC video, not HDV.
    Here’s where I’m at now
    The video was shot in 1080i 30p onmini DV.  With my Sony HVR Z7U Ican only import the video into FCP as a NTSC 720x480 signal. It looks great butnot in HDV?
    I believe I have tried most every setting in my FCP audio video settings to import the HD footage into FCP. FCPseems to only recognize the camcorder in the NTSC mode.
    Example - In  FCP  Audio /Video Settings
    Sequence Preset - HDV 108030p
    Capture Preset    - HDV
    Device Control     - HDV FireWire Basic
    Video Playback   - Only gives none or NTSC choices(I chose Apple FireWire)
    With the setting above and Sony’s  ilink off- window alert reads…
    “Device is not connected or the capture preset is not set up correctly. You may still log offline clips. This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.” The camcorder viewer reads the digital footage as 1080i 30p. So it’s not shot in DV footage.
    With the iLink on - I get the same window alert.  Unless I capture in NTSC
    For me FCP will only log and capture the footage when the Capture and Device Control Presets are set to a NTSC format and the camcorder ilink is on. Hence an NTSC 720x480 signal is imported. Not HDV?
    Come on, I know this a common problem and I must be missing something very simple. Please Help! Many thanks.

    Someone mentioned using log and transfer. I use this with all my Compact Flash HD videos. I have found no info for importing HDV from mini DV in log and transfer with a (my) camcorder.

    Gary, this is the Final Cut Pro X forum.  You might try the other forum for FCP. Still, I have the Z5U Sony which is nearly identical to your camera except for the zoom as I recall.  I think we have the same menu system.  I see to recall there is a menu option that sets the output file format.  Also you can set it to record in SD as well as I recall.  I read my files in from tape to FCP X easily ... in high def.  Best wishes.
