Import BPAV files directly into FCPX?

I have downloaded XDCAM Transfer and Sony Drivers from software. I can't get FCPX to import BPAV files directly to the program. running trial version
Advice?

First, I mark a clip I want to use as OK - this gives it a blue tag so I can identify the clips I have processed.
I don't really have time to go through it blow-by-blow, but if you mark a clip in and out in the preview window, you can right-click on it and choose "Make new clip from selection" (or words to that effect).
When you do this, a new clip is created from the in and out points on your clip and by default, appears at the end of your thumbnails in the browser (identify it by the blue tag). You can repeat this as many times as you like with different parts of the master clip - and then delete the master.
This reduces the size of clips in the BPAV folder and of course, they are already rough-edited when you import into FCP X.
To create XDCAM files from the BPAV stuff, simply select the clips and then click the "Register for Final Cut Pro" icon.
Where the files go, is dictated by whatever you choose in preferences.
I'm no expert with XDCAM Browser, so unfortunately, every file I "Register for FCP" appears to have a duplicate MXF file - I ignore or delete these (not found out how to avoid or use them yet).

How do I capture tape-based media to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The manual says to import tape footage directly into fcpx, but then I lose my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose my external hard drive Do I have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive? On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media. How is that done? I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem. Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
does not appear. It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire. ????

Is there some way to import image files directly into an open document?

Is there some way of importing a series of image files, say jpegs, directly into an open document, rather than having to open all the image files and having to drag and drop each individual one into the open document? Specifically, I'm a dentist and I often get digital xray images emailed to me from other offices. But they come as 16 or 18 individual image files and I have to put them into a virtual "xray mount", so I can view them all at once, rather than having to open all the images and toggle among them. So I open a blank document in PS (CS4), then I navigate to the folder containing all the image files I received, select all of them and open them all. Back in PS, I now have to select each image tab and drag the image into the blank "mount" and close the image. That new image then becomes its own layer in the "mount" document. But I have to repeat this 18 times for each patient! I was thinking if there was a way to open the new "mount" document then select all the image files and somehow "import" all the image files directly into document - essentially "automate" the process - that'd save me BOATLOADS of time and aggravation! Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks alot!! Dr. G.

Thanks, Curt! When u say "animate" do u mean File | Automate...? Inside Automate, I can't find "Make Frames from Layers"...if you do mean "Animate" I can't find that menu. Zeno replied with a BRILLIANT clarification:
<<Yes, but after you've got all your images as layers in a new document you can simply Select->All Layers and then drag them all to your document in one fell swoop.>>
I tried that and it works like a charm! I select all 20 layers in the new document that "stacking" creates and just drag them all onto the virtual "mount" document. That's it! Then I just move each of these layers around as I would otherwise...it's just 1 click and 1 drag/drop. Unless someone comes up with a way to actually "import" all the images directly into the "mount" document, I think this appears to be the most efficient route to follow.
I really appreciate your guys' assistance! It's so great that you guys monitor the forum and help us out with our Photoshop problems! What an awesome program it is, right?
Thx again!

New Iphone: Can I importa vcard file directly into Icloud?

Hi,
a friend of mine is getting a new Iphone and want's to migrate all adresses from the old Nokia phone to the Iphone.
The export of the adress data into a vcard file is not a problem.
Can she import the vcard file directly into icloud.com? to go through a Mac Adressbook is not an option as she's a windows user.
Thanks a lot,
Markus

You can manually enter new contacts via iCloud.com but there isn't an option to import. I tried dropping a v.card onto the browser, it indicated it might work but didn't

Help needed. Can I import MTS files directly into FCE?

I am currently using iMovie, but iMovie doesn't recognise the .MTS files that my Panasonic AG-HMC41E produces.
I was thinking of upgrading to Final Cut Express, but I don't know if that will solve the problem or not.
Can anybody confirm that FCE will enable me to directly import .MTS files?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

As far as I have heard, transcoding to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) makes a file that scarcely looks different from the original MTS; I should remind you that if you were able to ingest the MTS files directly into iMovie or Final Cut Express, they will do the same thing - transcode to Apple Intermediate Codec; they're just doing it within the interface of a capturing process. When they are ready for editing, they are now AIC. An app like Streamclip or ClipWrap is just helping you get this done outside of FCE or iMovie.
ClipWrap 2 can rewrap your mts file as a MOV and leave it untouched - quality is the same. However, FCE won't edit that without having to render a lot. It's best to transcode it to AIC.
There is a higher quality codec than AIC, called ProRes, but only Final Cut Pro can edit this.

Can I import MXF Files directly into CC Premiere Pro

I'm currently running CS5 and I have to use a 3rd party converter to edit MFX files. I shot on a sony f5 and I would like to use the original files as i'm losing quality via these converters. I need to upgrade to the CC but would love to know if these files can be imported directly.

CS6 and later all support MXF files. Your dilemma is whether to upgrade to CS6 perpetual or start renting forever with no way back.

It is possible to import an .MVC 3D-Stereoscopic file directly into Adobe CS5.5-CS6 ???

Thread:

" adlerfloyd " said:
"...When i use adobe 5.5 i can import MVC and edit it, export it as h264 or mpeg2 and it retains its MVC properties and plays in 3D no problem. Cant seem to do that in EDIUs..."
- I have Adobe CS6 Master Collection Suite.
- The .MVC file format is a format called MultiViewCoding and it is a standard from Sony consumer (TD10E) and professional 3D-Camcorders, also for JVC-Everio consumer 3D-Camcorders!
- The .MVC is a such of H.264-AVC codec format.
My Questions:
1) It is possible to import an .MVC 3D-Stereoscopic file directly into Adobe CS5.5 (in example: from Sony and JVC-Everio 3D-Camcorders) ???
2) It's possible to import an .MVC files directly into PremierePro CS5.5 - CS6 without any plugin and without Cineform Neo3D plugin?
3) It's possible to Export an .MVC file too, from CS5.5 - CS6?
Please, hurry response me!
Thanks!

As far as I know, you may NOT edit 3D files without a 3rd party plugin

With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have camera raw 2.4

With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have"camera raw 2.4" selected in LR and the Plug-in for CS is Camera Raw.8BI.
Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried a different DNG converter? Adobe released Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 in March of this year. Maybe, if it supports your camera, this version will create a more compatible file.

I don't think you can prevent email body text from being copied and edited.
You'd probably need to created a protected Word or PDF document, and send it as an attachment.
This is still some sort of guessing because it's still not clear to me what exactly your scenario is.
Whatever text you send in an email, regardless of whether in the body or as an attachment, the recipient will always be able to use that and distribute it further, e.g. by making a screenshot. And images can be 'photoshoped' as well.
If you want the recipient to be able to detect whether a message or an attachment has been altered on transit, you'd need to sign it.

Lossless import of H.264 into FCPX

Apologies in advance for what is probably a very beat-to-death topic, but my search skills are eluding me terribly tonight.
I want to know the most lossless way to import H.264 video into FCPX for editing and finalizing. The final format will be for Vimeo or maybe 1080 youtube.
I don't care too much about ease of editing. My primary goal is to preserve the quality of the video. The video is sitting on the camera and was shot at the highest quality setting.
Thanks in advance. If this topic is indeed overbaked, just point me to the threads.

Thanks Tom. In my simple mind, it is counter-intuitive to think that transcoding will actually be more lossless than keeping it in 264. But you seem to be right well over 99% of the time and this is undoubtedly no exception. I will try it this weekend and see what I find.
Thanks again

IMovie can import MPEG files directly on iMac!

IMovie in my iMac can import mpeg files with no hassles. At the same time iMovie on my Mac book air can not do the same except after conversion to a compatible format by a third party software ! Any explanation for that ?
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Yes, iMovie '08 can do this. Make sure you finalize the disk in your camcorder first. And it has to be DVD formatted as a Video disk, not VR. Macs cannot read from VR-formatted disks.
You don't import any files directly from the camcorder. Instead, use "Import from Camera". Actually, with iMovie '08 running, when you connect your camcorder, the camera import window should pop up automatically.

Audioselection from file directly into multitrack

Hi there,
would you be so kind to give me some advice on these 2 questions I have.
1. how can you put a selection (and not the whole file) of an audio file directly into the multitrack. Under the windows version this was control + M. But I can't find this in the C5.5. Although copiing small parts and putting them afterwards into multitrack is an option I would prefer putting it directly into multitrack. (and continue working on the audiofile-screen)
2. as a fresh Mac-user I can't find the option where to put audio from the web directly into the audiofile. I can only record from my internal mic. This could be a question for a Mac-forum but you guys are pretty smart so I've heard.
Thank you so much. Derk.

To insert a selection into multitrack, right-click the selection and choose Insert into Multitrack and select the destination session. On Mac, the shortcut key for this operation is SHIFT+CMD+I though you can modify it as you like under Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
To record streaming audio to a virtual input (in order to record it to a file) you'll want to install an application such as SoundFlower which allows you to create a virtual audio device and route outputs and from various devices to these virtual input channel. Audition can then be configured to use this as its default input and capture those streams. (Note: This is becoming more and more difficult on all platforms as content providers pressure Microsoft and Apple to remove these features in an attempt to protect their content. The "What you Hear" or "Wave Mix" option that's been available in Windows audio mixer for so long can really depend on the version of Windows and the manufacturer of your audio device anymore.)

Importing canon 5d mark 11 directly into fcpx

has anyone successfuly imported directly from the canon 5d mark 11 into final cut pro x , the apple site suggests this is not compatible???

Hi Tom,
I searched FCPX and compatible cameras t said it might not recognise, though i will re check to ensure if it was FCP X?
I have tried opening FCPX and selecting the camera icon on the interface above the projects library, but it does not recognise my camera canon 5d mark II , i then selected file>import>files i cant see any reference to camera, however iphoto recognises my camera as a device and is ready to import directly to iphoto and from there it imports to imovie then from there to fcpX, I'm going in on the weekend to see the Apple guys hopefully they can sought out the problem,how are you achieving the import from your camera to FCPX

Importing Canon C300 footage into FCPX

So I shot about 100GB worth of footage on a C300. Now, when I go to import the footage into FCPX, I get the message "None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
I've read in other threads that FCPX directly supports MXF files, and that I should just be able to import directly. However, it's not working! Anyone else deal with this or have found a solid workaround??
- FCPX 10.1.1
- iMac OSX 10.9.2, 3.4 GHz i5, 24 GB RAM.

Hi Chris, I use C300 footage all the time, FCPx loves it, all you have to do is install the plugin : http://learn.usa.canon.com/resources/blogs/2012/20120224_xf_plugin_fcp_x.shtml
after that you should be good to go
