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
Andy

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

How to get Logic Pro Surround into FCP?

I've got an FCP project that is setup as DV NTSC 48kHz 16:9 anamorphic (basically linked Video/Audio - 2 tracks).
I have some surround tracks (mix of audio tracks and instrument tracks) that I've created in Logic Pro that is set at 96kHz 24bit.
If I bounce to PCM (AIFF) for all the tracks in Logic Pro how can I get these tracks into my FCP project that is using DV Video/Audio at 48kHz? I know I can import AIFF files into FCP but because the DV audio is 48kHz so I get all kinds of problems.
Tried to convert the FCP project to 96kHz 24bit audio and that resulted in all kinds of issues with timing and playback. I could not figure out how to split out the DV audio from the video (not sure I want to either).
Not sure best way to proceed? Should I send the FCP project to SoundTrack Pro and then in SoundTrack Pro import the AIFF created by Logic Pro? Once in SoundTrack Pro how to I get it ALL into FCP so I can render to a Movie and then use that in DVD Studio Pro?
Is there someway to convert the DV Audio to 96kHz and retain a synch'd link with the DV video?
Any tips on how to proceed is very welcome.
Thanks, Rob.

Rob,
What sample rate do you ultimately want on the DVD? Do you want Dolby 5.1?
Try burning your sequence to a single DV file. import the file into Logic Pro, bounce to a new 96k file. Check this new file against your video while still in Logic. Back in FCP, make a new sequence, set it to 96k, import the new audio, then import your 96k surround stems.
Although I'm still not sure what you're trying to accomplish with a 96k surround mix.

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
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 get the HPX files into Final Cut Pro 7?

Hey.
I have a small crisis. Hope someone can help as quickly as possible?! Thank you
I'm working on my bachelor project, and has borrowed a Panasonic HPX 170, and will cut in Final Cut Pro 7. Now I have all the files on a hard drive, and they are MFX files.
- How do I get them into FCP?
Many thanks for all your help!

Thanks
But what if the clips are already on my iMac via the hard disk? What you write, is through the camera right?
I've tried to get the files by the camera into FCP, but it did not. It can not find the camera.
Thanks for your answer

HOW TO GET ZIP PHOTO Files INTO Premiere elements 12

How do I extract photos from a zip file in order to drag them into premiere elements 12?
Now I keep getting error messages that adobe reader could not open
"for john-zip" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged
[ for example, it was sent as an e-mail attachment & wasnot completlt decoded]
I also will get upon repeated trys to GET PICTURES' into premiere elements 12 > "Catastrophic failure"

What is the file extension of this zipped folder.....zip or 7-Zip or something else?
If you have a ordinary .zip folder with a .jpeg photo inside it, you should be able to right click the zipped folder, select Extract All from drop down list, and then follow the instructions to get the unzipped folder that you open by double clicking it in order to see and use the photo.
Also, if this photo was edited in Photoshop and has a CMYK color profile, you will not be able to open it in Premiere Elements (any version).
Keep away from the Adobe Reader if all that you have is a zipped folder.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

How to get Imacon fff files into Camera Raw?

I have read previous string on this topic.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311779
Solution was to use FlexColor to import fff files and then re-export as DNG and work in Camera RAW.
I have tried this using FlexColor 4.8.9 installed on both Vista(32 bit) and XP (32 bit) machines, both behave identically:
I succeeded in getting Flexcolor to run (it looks useful) but when in FlexColor main window and I click on "thumbnails button", the resulting flyout window offers "Save" but when I click on this I am offered "Batch Save" with Normal and Preview options: the DNG option is greyed out. Saving under Normal just delivers a tif file to the selected location.
Grateful to anyone who can point out what I have done wrong - or suggest a simple way to import Hasselblad/imacon scanner files in fff format into Adobe Camera Raw within CS6 under windows XP 32 bit. Thanks Bill

If we’re talking about Imacon SCANNER FFF files, then at least in forum posts from a few years back those aren’t supposed to work to convert to DNGs because the internal metadata is missing and Hasselblad doesn’t provide a way to do it. Does it work to rename them to TIFF? I couldn’t find a sample to test with.
http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php?topic=613.0
I am able to see the Imacon 3f plug-in within CS6 Help / About Plug-ins… if I copy the CS5\Plug-ins \FlexColor Formats to CS6\REQUIRED\Plug-ins\FlexColor Formats for both 32-bit and 64-bit program paths.
The CS5 version of the plug-in was installed when I installed either FlexColor or Phocus, I forget which.

How to get edited VOB files into iDVD?

Hello all,
This is actually a bunch of questions, not all of which are related to iDVD, but I didn't really know where else to post this. I have just ripped a DVD with MacTheRipper and have a bunch of VOB files in a VIDEO_TS folder that I would like to edit slightly and burn back to a DVD without any loss of quality if possible. I have that MPEG-2 component thingy, and I can open the VOB files in MPEG Streamclip, and even trim the movie and save as a new VOB, all within Streamclip.
1. First of all, is this newly created VOB compatible with iDVD, or do I need to export it to some other format?
2. If it's not compatible, which other format is best, and is there a way to convert it without loss of quality?
3. If no loss of quality is possible, what settings would get me minimum loss of quality?
4. If all else fails, is the newly created VOB compatible with any other DVD burning software, and what is the best one in your opinion?
Sorry for all the questions. I've learned from reading so many forums that one must be very specific indeed to get any kind of good advice. Thank you all in advance!

If your first paragraph is correct, then replacing the old VOB files with the new (edited) ones in the TS-folder will do the trick, if you have Toast. Just drag that TS folder to the Toast window and burn - job done.
If you don't you will have to go the long way: use MPEG Streamclip to convert the VOB files to DV and import into iMovie, then edit and send to iDVD.
Loss of quality? Possibly.

How to get audio book files into the audio books library?

I have recently imported some of my own audio books from cd to iTunes. They are now located in the music library, but I would like to have them in the audio book library. But no matter what I try I can't move them. Can anyone help me?
I have tried dragging the files and the folders, creating playlists and dragging them, importing files and folders, but nothing works. Is it impossible to do?

It's easy to make audiobooks so long as you start off with AAC files (.m4a). If your books are in MP3 format, either rerip the book from CD into AAC or else convert MP3 to AAC. In iTunes there is an AAC choiced called "Spoken Podcast" that's great for making audiobooks (Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing).
Step-by-step instructions for making an audiobook are here:

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.

>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 to get the ard file of crystal reports

Hi all,
I have downloaded crystal reports from sap market place but i dont have .ard file for that how to transfer that reports into sap. How to get the ard file please help me out.
Thanks & Regards,
Murtuza Ahmed.

When you click on your SAPCrystalSetup.exe and select the path to your add-on folder it will install the files and your ard file will be situated in your add-on folder. Then you can start SAP up and install it from SAP.
So if your SAP install is in your local drive your ard file for crystal reports should be here C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\SAP_CR
Hope this helps.

I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives. Later renamed external HDs. I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. I'm not really sure how to get those source files back

I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives. Later renamed external HDs. I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog? Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file? If not, how or can this be done?
I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can. Do you understand my situation?
This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with. If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer? I really need help. PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.
