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,

  • FCE to FCP? Can I transfer an unfinished FCE file into FCP?

    Hi all,
    I would like to know if i can transfer a FCE file into FCP and continue editing from there?
    I started my first project in FCE, after many months of learning the basics the hard way.
    Having now read about the features of FCP, I am considering upgrading as I am led to believe that a lot of issues that are consuming my time editing, (e.g. eliminating unwanted audio ticks, image stabilisation etc.) are far easier/quicker in FCP.
    I realise that you can not make something out of what you don't have, but FCE just doesn't cut it when you start off with less than perfect material and are looking to smooth things out in general.
    So if i buy FCP can i finsh my project?
    Will my macbook pro handle it for now?
    2.4Ghz Intel Core Duo Processor,
    2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 Memory,
    Thanks for any information.

    You can open FCE projects in Final Cut Pro.
    Work on a copy of your project file -there's no going back.
    Your MacBook Pro will handle Final Cut Studio fine.

  • 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

    Looks like this is the only option: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7tox-for-final-cut-pro/id496926258?ls=1&mt=12

  • Importing FCE files into FCP

    Hi,
    I have some old FCE projects. My question is whether I am import the FCE project into FCP?

    I think you can just do a file > open and open them right up. you might get a warning that you are opening an older version and of course once saving you probably won't be able to open them in FCE again... so I would make a duplicate first then open away.

    #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 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

    The thing records HDV so see what happens when you try to use those conventional HDV presets.
    Native MXF HDV Support
    With the FS-CV, you can record native MXF HDV 720p 30 and 1080i 50/60 clips and import them into Avid Xpress Pro, Avid Media Composer, or Avid NewsCutter for editing.

    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.

  • How to transfer input file into XI through sender file adapter

    Hi
    I am quite new to XI. Want to know how I can transfer a file into XI through sender file adapter. I dont have any input file, so I have to create a sample input file and I want to transfer that into XI. Can you please advise me of the steps involved in that. I have finished work in design and directory, now I want to push file the sample file into XI. The receiver adapter is an IDoc adapter. And also a very trivial question. How I can place my sample file into my source directory. Thanks

    Hi Rajiv,
    If your transport protocol is NFS then you need to put the file in the XI server. Because it becomes the Network File System. For that you can just type the ip address of the XI server in the "run" command or in the browser with "
    " then in any of the Folders you can paste your file. But ensure that this is the path you give in your Sender File Adapter.
    If your transport protocol is FTP then you need to see that ftp is running in your system. for that go to Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Add/Remove Components. In that check the IIS server and go to details and see that ftp is also checked. Now ftp is running in your system.
    Now open your C:> drive >InetPub>ftproot . and create a folder here and paste your file. In the configuration of your File sender adapter just mention the name of the folder.
    For your information, you can create a file with xml tags and namespace and message type manually (or) you can directly get it from the test tab of message mapping and generate source code.

  • 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

  • HT2518 After using Migrate Assistant, I made several accounts for every attempt to migrate files from PC to Mac. How can I put all accounts together into one? How can I transfer the files from the other accounts to my primary account?

    Okay, so I did the entire Migrate Assistant process to transfer all my files and what not to my MacBook. Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
    How can I transfer my files from the other accounts to my primary account and delete the other accounts?

    Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
    If you had read carefully, Migration Assistant asks what you want to do in this event. That would have precluded the redundancy.
    Part of the fundamental design of OS X is to separate user accounts so that one user can't interfere with another. It's not possible to directly merge an account with another, but you can copy whatever you need to the Shared folder - it is in your Users folder.
    Log in to one account, prefereably a smaller one, and drag the files and folders into Shared. Log out, log into the account you want to be "primary" and drag the files from Shared into their appropriate locations. When you have copied everything you need delete the redundant account.
    Do this for each of them.
    Or, you can just run Migration Assistant again and follow the prompts that address the situation you described. It involves creating a secondary, temporary account from which you can administer the transfer. When it is complete you delete the temporary account(s).

  • How do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ?

    how do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ?  My photos and video files are first imported into Aperture then synced with iTunes. However, itunes does not capture the Video files but uploads the phtos from Aperture during sync.
    I tried dragging the video files into iTunes but it still would not be captured into iTunes ?
    Appreciate any help on this. Thanks

    Open them in Quicktime Player 10.1. Then, use Quicktime's Share menu > iTunes.  That will create an iTunes compatible version and automatically load it into your iTunes movie library.

  • 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.

  • How can I transfer "Pages" files  from my IPad to my Mac?

    How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

    Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
    The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
    Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!
