How do I relink generator files in FCP X?

I recently moved my FCPX projects from one hard drive to another via a different computer. In doing so, I chose to Duplicate and copy referenced events. However, the titles I created are all no longer available.
I have manually copied over the Motion Project files from the previous location but I am still getting a 4 Missing Generators message with no ability to relink them. Selecting and choosing to relink doesn't work and I'm stumped.
Any advice?

~/Titles.localized/Show Effects/Show/Lower 3rd/Lower 3rd.moti“ is the Motion file that is being used.  I was able to replace the file and when I open a project all of the lower thirds are there except they are all missing the names and titles.  I
I parsed through the .fcpevent file and found the following which seems to set the title in the effect.  Its pointing to an object with an id of 2.  But how do you get the title in the new Motion file to be the same object so that it will fill in correctly??
<parameter name="Object" id="2" flags="8589938704">

  • How to import premier xml file into FCP X?

    Hi There,
    Premier has an export to "Final Cut Pro XML" option but how do you import these files into FCP X?
    If I navigate from within FCP X, the file is greyed out and if I right click from the finder and open in FCP X I see the error:
    The document “V1-0008_M07-1538.mov.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “XML text” format.
    I'm using FCP 10.1.1 and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Hi sir im using fcp 7 for video editing in i mac, how can i edit mts files in fcp 7 without log n transfer, is their solution for fcp 7?

    Hi sir im using fcp 7 for video editing in i mac, how can i edit mts files in fcp 7 without log n transfer, is their solution for fcp 7?

    >No, you are not right.
    Going to question the biggest contributor to this forum?  (Yes, my ego is talking).  OK then...
    >Install the QT-Plugin, restart your Mac and you will be able to import and use .mts files in FCP 7.
    Sure...yes, that makes it POSSIBLE to read the files natively in FCP...if they come from a Panasonic camera. BUT...just try working with those files.  Right away the system won't be nearly as responsive as it would if they were ProRes. First...there are no sequence settings for that format...so you'll have to use ProRes and have a green render bar.  BUT, that's no big deal.  The big deal is trying to work with the AVCHD format, which is VERY processor intensive...inside an application that doesn't like to work with much outside of the FCP editing codecs.
    Is it possible? Sure? Will it work well...will you be as zippy and error free as if you converted to ProRes? Not by a long shot.  OH, but don't just take my word for it.  Go ahead...try it and see.  No skin off my nose...no waste of my time.  See how well this works. 
    I'm just here to relate real world working solutions to issues.  And yes, I did try that plugin, and boy, was editing a pain.

  • Can't relink project files in FCP X

    I moved some projects and events to a new harddrive (drag and drop not through FCP X like I should have) and now FCP can't find the project files. The event footage all shows up in the library and I can play it, but when I click on the project it says Missing Event. When I right click on the project and try to relink project it doesn't give me any options for missing media to reconnect other than the graphic (see screenshot). If I go to file and click relink event it let's me reconnect to the event files. I know where all the files are, FCP just isn't giving me a way to relink them. HELP!

    I'm having the same problem. I am using FCPX 10.1.1. After moving to a usb external hard drive and back, one of my projects has 'unlinked' all the files that are in the timeline and releated to the project, all the other files are ok.
    I had copied the event from another hard drive, but it seems the project id now referncing the wrong event in the inspector? Not sure how to change this now. I am not being given the option to modify referenced event?

  • How can I relink event files?

    I am on the job of 'managing my video works'...trying to get the events and projects in order. In this matter I have been coming across 'problems' which I have been able to surmount. But in the present case I seem to have come to the 'end of the road' and would like to know how to proceed.
    The event of one particular problem is showing an alert icon as the one shown in the HELP pages of FCPX:
    When I tried to relink the files, I got this pop up stating that files were incompatible and asked to click on a single file to know the reason of incompatiblity:
    Upon selecting a single missing file, I found that there was this problem:
    The project appears normal in the project library and the timeline as well. The project properties in the inspector window also seem to be normal...no alerts of missing events. Playback also is normal. The project in the project library sports no alert icon. I did a 'relink project files' and was able to do so. When I clicked upon reorganize project media, I was informed that all the media are right on the spot [location].
    I finally also clicked reorganize event files and got this feedback:
    May I be informed how I can get rid of this alert icon? What are the dangers, if any, if the alert icon cannot be removed? Can I ignore this alert?
    Thanks in advance.

    An update for what it is worth!
    The alert icon got removed in this fashion:
    I had upgraded to version 8 of FCPX recently and instead of updating all the events and projects in a drive at once, I had, as a precautionary measure, used event manager to 'feed' and update with only one project and its associated event/s at a time. When I clicked all the prjects and events of the drive in question, the alert icon disappeared.
    However, I am still getting this, what Tom has opined, a display problem, even in some events and not merely projects:
    Well, if this is indeed a 'display problem' need I to call up the service center or do I accept it with an air of resignation? FYI this appearance of clips and projects are not for all projects and events I have but only for some of them.

  • How to use a ".generate" file in JDeveloper 11g ?

    hi
    Using JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.0.1) I created a Database Diagram and dropped both SCOTT.EMP and SCOTT.DEPT tables on it, creating Offline Database Objects.
    After that I used the "Generate..." option from the right-click menu on the SCOTT Offline Database Source in JDeveloper, to generate a SQL script.
    Step 6 of 6 allowed me to "Save settings for reuse", resulting in a ".generate" file (see GenerateSQLFromDatabaseObjectsStep6Of6.png).
    question
    How should I be able to reuse such a ".generate" file, the right-click menu does not have a "Generate" option (like JDeveloper 10g has) or something similar, see GenerateSQLRightClickMenuForGenerateFile.png.
    many thanks

    Thanks for your reply Susan.
    You were not able to access it via metalink as it was categorized as an internal bug rather than a production version bug. Since it has now been fixed it is unlikely that I can get it changed to allow it to be seen via metalink.about "unlikely", see also ...

  • How to Get XDCAM Transfer files into FCP scratch disk locations

    Hi
    I'm new to XDCAM transfer. I have XDCAM Browser and Transfer, latest versions. I have successfully imported into FCP, but I was surprised to see the footage stored in a default 'Movies' location. I thought, okay, I'll just change the import location in the XDCAM Transfer preferences to the FCP scratch disk location but then I realized that since I have multiple scratch disk locations I would be defeating the way FCP works, which is to to automatically go to the location with the room for the files.
    I didn't have this problem with Panasonic P2.
    Is there a way to import XDCAM files into FCP and have it go to the scratch disk locations already established in FCP?
    Thank you,
    Phil

    Hi Phil
    Although XDCAM Transfer can be launched from within FCP (using the File > Import > Sony XDCAM.. command) the app itself is standalone and works outside of the control of FCP. It has no means of discovering and using the Capture Scratch location defined within FCP (because Apple do not provide any means for a third party app to do so).
    The Panasonic P2 format is (can be) transfered directly using FCP's own Log and Transfer interface and so works wholly within FCP hence the target directory for imports honors the defined Capture Scratch location.
    If you are working with the XDCAM EX series of camera's then you can use Sony's FCP Log and Transfer plugin (PDZK - LT1) instead of XDCAM Transfer to import your clips, and so achieve the functionality you are looking for. Although you lose some of the flexibility/functionality of the standalone XDCAM Transfer app (PDZK-P1) the benefit of handling everything directly with FCP's own interface might be preferable for you.
    Hope it helps

  • How to ingest Canon MXF files into FCP 7

    All afternoon I've been trying to figure out how to get Final Cut Pro 7 to recognize .mxf files generated by a Canon FS-CV hard drive, without much luck. This device has 3 options of format: .m2t, .mxf and Quicktime. I've found that the Quicktime files are not openable by Quicktime Pro 7.7 and gives me the bewildering error
    "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie."
    Okay, so that's not working, let's try Plan B. Since I have a P2 camera, .mxf is a familiar sight so I tried that one. L&T doesn't recognize anything about it, so that's a no-go. The only reliable workflow I've found so far is to transcode the .m2t files to ProRes using Mpeg Streamclip. Okay, that works, but is that the only one of these that'll work with FCP? Quicktime format seemed like a no-brainer. Why won't it open and/or play? I've Googled and Googled and have found plenty of people asking this question but no useful answers so far. And why doesn't FCP Log & Transfer recognize these .mxf files? If Canon has a special plugin for this, I haven't been able to find it through the byzantine maze they call a web site.
    Any suggestions are welcomed.

    You're searching for the wrong device. It's a recorder made by Focus Enhancements, not Canon. Try
    http://www.focusinfo.com/solutions/fs-cv.asp

    With the FS-CV, you can record 1080i 50/60/25f/24f/30f or 720p 30 clips as native QuickTime HDV. The FS-CV extracts and decodes the audio from the incoming HDV stream, combines it with the video stream, and wraps it as a QuickTime HDV file. When recording is complete, your QuickTime HDV file can be imported directly into Final Cut Pro—no capture or conversion is required.

  • VBA How to download a generated file from IE

    Hi guys,
    Apologies if this is an easy one, I couldn't find anything that helped me with my problem and was hoping someone might point me in the right direction for which object/argument to use.
    I'm trying to automate the downloading of a report, it will be a CSV file however it's not a static address (i.e. www.hello.com/files/goodbye.csv)
    The website is a CMS with database backend and upon clicking a button, the report is generated and the user will be prompted to download a resulting file (once it has been prepared).
    It is this action that I am trying to automate, however I'm not sure how to get IE to click the button and automatically saving instead of prompting the user at all (ideally this will be done with IE Visible being false in the end).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Jeff.

  • "Moving a project from network L: drive to C: drive - how do I relink the files?

    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS3D22F379-B6C7-4d8c-9548-26AA3E1EA74F.html
    In the above thread "Moving a project to another computer" it states the assets should retain their file names and folder locations so that Premiere Pro can find them and relink them to their clips in the project automatically and although I'm only a novice PP user that is standard advice for any software.  However I can't find advice anywhere on how to swap a project from one disk drive to another on the same computer.
    What I want to do is move the project media files off my network (L:) drive to the C: drive of the editing computer as all the advice on here about disk drives is not to use network drives.  I've copied the files over but how do I replace the media file links within the PP project which are currently pointing to the sub-folders on my L:drive with replacement one's pointing to the same folder names but with the path as C: drive.  Sorry if it is a numpties question but I'm not finding the answer via search.
    Reason for shifting project - for some reason the sequence files were being lost when I reopened the project so I had to reuse the last good auto-save despite loss of some editing work and the project had also suddenly started taking up to an hour to load all the linked media.  Given the advice about not using network drives decided to eliminate one of the possible causes before going any further with risk of losing the edited file.. 

    I strongly agree with Jim on where to relocate the Project and media files.
    Now, when you do Move the files, the Paths (absolute) in the PRPROJ file(s), will no longer be correct. The drive letter will have changed.
    When you Open your Project from its new location, you will get a question dialog, "Where is file _____ ?" for the first Asset, where the link is now broken. Using the Finder, navigate to the folder, where that first missing Asset is NOW located, and select that. PrPro will then look in that folder, and will automatically relink to all Assets in that folder. If you have your Assets in multiple folders, you will need to repeat, for each folder, and again, PrPro will relink to all Assets in THAT folder. Depending on the folder/sub-folder hierarchy, you will have to repeat for all folders.
    When all Assets have been relinked, I would immediately do a Save_As, incrementing the Project's name, so as to NOT overwrite that original Project file - just in case you ever need to revisit that.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How do I include Motion files in FCP "media manager" exports?

    All files with a .mtn do not transfer correctly when I use media manager to duplicate a project: I get the red-dotted frame and even when I try to reconnect the frame, once rendered, remains black. I was wondering if there is a way to export Motion files there were created by exporting from FCP and "embedded" in Motion.
    Thank you for the help!

    ~/Titles.localized/Show Effects/Show/Lower 3rd/Lower 3rd.moti“ is the Motion file that is being used.  I was able to replace the file and when I open a project all of the lower thirds are there except they are all missing the names and titles.  I
    I parsed through the .fcpevent file and found the following which seems to set the title in the effect.  Its pointing to an object with an id of 2.  But how do you get the title in the new Motion file to be the same object so that it will fill in correctly??

    I have three DVD's that I need to get access to for editing purposes. The DVD's open and play in DVD player with no problem, but how can I import it into FCP? The files in the DVD's folder are "BUP," "IFO," and "VOB" files -- what do I do to get them into a format I can edit?
    Thank you so much!

    Oh...wait..I forgot.
    #7 DVD into FCP
    Shane's Stock Answer #7:
    To start, I will state that trying to capture any DVD you bought or rented, be it a Hollywood movie or exersize video, is illegal. I will not give you any tips on how to bypass copy protection. It is there for a reason.
    To capture footage from a DVD, you have a couple options.
    1) Route the DVD player to your DV camera or deck via the RCA cabling. Then you can put the footage you want ontp DV tape and have the benefit of timecode in case the need to recapture comes up.
    2) You can get a great application called DVDxDV (Google it). This opens up the DVD and allows you to convert the video to DV/NTSC footage. And it allows you to only convert what you want by allowing you to mark in and out points. The free version puts a big watermark across the center of your footage, but if you pay $25 for the standard version, that goes away.
    Or you can use Mac the Ripper or Mpeg Stream clip. These are free.

  • How do i transfer FCE files into FCP?

    Hi guys,
    I just bought a copy of Final Cut Pro 7, which I am very excited about, but I have been trying to transfer files I have been working on in Final Cut Express over to FCP.
    I go to 'Files' and then 'Import', then i go to 'Show' and change it to 'All Files', which allows me to accept my FCP project, It then says, 'File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.'
    Could someone help me with what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance, all help is appreciated!

    Heya rocca chill man it's cool.
    Just letting you know that if you purchased a copy that it was an illegal license transfer. That way if it's possible you might be able to go back and get your money back from whomever you bought it from. You would be surprised how many do not know that without original installation disks they don't legally own the software. For instance: users will post discussion threads here on occasion asking how to reinstall or transfer the software that was included with their used computer purchase without installation disks because they moved to a new system but do not have the disks.
    In technical terms the specifics of the term makes a difference. Like the difference between HDV and true HD = biiiiig difference. At least that is how I originally interpreted it in this instance.
    I wonder what the correct terminology would be
    Simply saying "I just bought FCP" would be better than "I just bought a copy of FCP"
    Congratulations on your new purchase and I am glad that you are excited. But please don't be mistaken into thinking that I was trying to insult you. Go back and re-read the original reply and you will discover that I was in fact trying to educate you on the difference between purchasing a copy (which you stated) vs. a legal license transfer.
    People buy illegal used "copies" of software all the time and then come here and ask beginner level questions which suggest they didn't take the time to go through the manual and read the basics of how to use the $1K software (which most would do when spending $1K on software). I was simply mistaken by taking your specific words literally when you mentioned that you bought a copy of the software - a practice that should be exercised when discussing technical topics.
    Anyway, water under the bridge.
    Best regards,
