Import a FCP project into PP and back to FCP

Hi all,
my first post, so bear with me.
I have a client that uses FCP(version unknown, I am assuming it is x). Since I do not specialize in video, I do not own FCP (thought of it as unnecesary, I use PP...). He wants me to edit the video (simple stuff, voice layover, cutting a bit here, cutting a bit there) and then give it back to them. However, it is important for them to be able to import the project back to FCP so they can make any changes or add sensitive material, if needed.
Also, is the FCP free trial a full version for 30 days, or a trial version with a nasty watermark or non-working functions?
Is this possible?

Your best avenue for exchanging between FCP and Premiere
is by exporting / importing .XML or .AAF files.

  • I want to import one imovie project into another one.  In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.

    I want to import one imovie project into another one.  In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.  I copied the project files onto a hard drive, and then connected that drive to the Mac that my main project is on, but when I select "import" the files are faint gray -meaning I can't select them.  Help!  I want to transfer a sequence of shots from one iMovie 11 project on one computer, into another iMovie 11 project on another computer.

    Tell me it ain't so!
    I wish I could.  The research you've done is correct.
    Wether you copy and paste or rebuild the Project from the other computer, you're going to need to get your Evnets copied from the other computer.
    The Prjoject files only contain pointer back to the original media.

    I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S.  I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie.  I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project.  I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides. 
    The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
    I can import the vertical clips two ways:  "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540."  But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
    This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific.  My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

    Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant.  when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

  • Problems Importing Premiere Pro Project into After Effects

    I've got my first Pemiere Pro CS6 project completed. Now i want to import it into After Effects CS6 to add titles.
    The PR file includes two segments, two still photos and two AE compositions. I am trying to import the PR project into AE two different ways: 
    1. File>Import> Adobe Dynamic Link>Adobe Premier Project. When I do this, the project looks great in the Footage tab of the RAM preview window on the right. But when I make a new sequence to get it on the Timeline so that I can begin to add titles, I get only  blackness in the Comp tab of the ram preview window whether I am playing a RAM preview or a spacebar preview.
    2. File>Import> Adobe Premier Project. When I do this, the two AE segments are missing.
    I am on an iMac with OSX.7.4.
    Can anyone give me some advice on the best way to do this?
    Thanks!

    You will need to render out those two AE compositions to video before you can bring them back into AE through dynamic link.  If you are concerned with making changes, you can always replace footage in Premiere with a new render.
    Dynamic Link is just not designed with your workflow -- AE doesn't open multiple projects at one time, and your workflow ends up with AE trying to open 3.
    You can bring those two compositions into AE as imports.  They won't be linked together (so any changes in original project will not reflect in imported version) but you would have all 4 elements in one AE project.

  • Error while importing an existing project into workspace

    hi,
    I am trying to import an existing project into workspace but getting an error 'vfamilychange' doest not have a .project file .But while checking into the folder structure of project vfamilychange' shows the .project file is already there.
    Please do suggest.

    Hi,
    To correctly use the project in a new NWDS. Please use the following method (for Windows XP only):
    1.) Navigate to the projects folder. This will be in the "DC" or "Local Development" folders in your "Documents and Settings" folder.
    2.) Inside the project folder you will find an "_comp" folder.
    3.) Zip this entire folder with WinZIP or WinRAR.
    4.) Finally goto the new PC / Location of export. Unzip this archive into a new Folder.
    5.) Open NWDS. Goto File->Import->Existing Project into Workspace.
    6.) Select your folder (where you extracted the archive).
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks.

  • How to import existing jsp project into jdeveloper

    can someone help me how to import existing jsp project into jdeveloper?
    can give me step by step to import..cause i am new for jdeveloper..
    thank you very much

    Well there are two options - if you have a WAR file with the code in it, then you can use the file->import WAR.
    Or you can use the new->Project from source code.
    Note that you'll probably need to do some library settings and some directory setting after that.
    Have a look at this demo for basic steps:

  • Not able to import a dummy project into eclipse

    Hi,
    I have downloaded a dummy project and I am trying import into my workspace.
    I right click on the navigator window and choose import.
    Then i click on the option which says general and then select "Existing Projects into Workspace" and then click next
    Then it goes to the import projects window where I am required to select a root directory or select a archive file.
    There I select the root directory of the project which contains the WEB-INF.
    However the finish button is graded out.
    Please advise

    Hi ^^,
    this is just for documentation. this is what i did. I created a war file of the project and then imported the war file. If you get the message that a projetc already exists at the location then simply change the name of the project you are creating.

  • Having an issue importing a 10 project into 9...please help

    Hi,
    My company downloaded a trial version of RH 10.  We built a lot in 10, but then, we decided to purchase a copy of RH 9.
    We were told we could import a 10 project into 9, but when I try to do that, I get the following error message saying it's not possible.
    Can we, or can we not, import a 10 project into 9?

  • How to import an j2ee project into j2ee perspective of  NWDS

    while trying to import an j2ee project into NWDS .....it is giving an error """unbounnd classpath container:org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.web.container".
    So where must be the problem.Should i have to install some eclipse plugins in the NWDS ????

    Hello again
    Sure, you can import the topics as a "batch" by selecting many topics at once.
    As for the links, I'm thinking that as long as you maintain the relative locations between the linked topics, that all should be fine.
    What I mean by the relative locations is to say that if you have a folder structure in the source project, you will need to ensure you have the identical folder structure in the destination. Then ensure the topics are copied to the exact folders.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad.  How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

    I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad.  How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

    One option is forwarding your Outlook contacts as vCard files which can be imported by the Address Book on your Mac, followed by being synced with your iPad.
    In Outlook, select all contacts and at the menu bar select forward as vCard. Each contact will be a separate vCard file. Send the email to an email account you are accessing with the Mail app on your Mac.
    Save the attached vCard files in a folder created on your Desktop or in whichever chosen location for the folder. At the Address Book menu bar, go to File and select Import navigating to the folder that incudes the vCard files. Open the folder to select.
