Import EDL problem

Hi,
If anyone can help me understand why this edl reads wrong?
(the problem is that when the EDL is loaded it will read wrong the out timecode)
TITLE: TEST
FCM: NON-DROP FRAME
001 STL V C 00:01:00:01 00:01:01:03 10:01:59:15 10:02:00:17
* FROM CLIP NAME: CS01Q0074S0037_01001.JPG
* FROM CLIP IS A STILL
thanks a lot!

I'm unsure of your question, Yoel. It would appear hat the source in this EDL has a 1 second and two frame duration, as does the record. Is this an FCP generated EDL? Where are you finding a problem?

  • Importing EDL from Premiere PRO CS4

    Hey! I shot a short film using the XDCAM EX1, then imported all the footage to FCP 6.0.4. Now it will be edited on APP CS4 but we're now doing some compatibility tests. Since PP wouldn't run the Quicktimes made during shooting using XDCAM Transfer to FCP, I made a couple of MPEG2 files on Compressor and that ran well.
    I got PP to read an EDL made on FCP and now I'm trying to read an EDL from PP to FCP but it says it can't. For secuence Preset I use XDCAM 720p24 since it doesn't have option for regular MPEG-2, is there an export option on PP that we're overlooking? What is to be done in order to get this to work?
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks for your answers guys.
    I can't reimport since it has been deleted from the original cards where it was captured.
    I import from the import menu, then EDL. I don't know if my setting is correct (XD CAM EX 720p24) but it does match with original clip. Also, the files exported from PP are marked as *edl.txt, is this a problem? I tried changing the extension to just .edl but it didn't work either. The exact message is: "Error importing EDL"
    Is there a workaround for this?

  • Speedgrade - error importing EDL

    -The EDL is exported at 24.00fps
    -The footage timecode is 24.00fps
    -Speedgrade's project and footage settings are both set to 24.00fps
    So why is Speedgrade losing a frame? It still respects the duration so it adds a 100.5% stretch to make up for the "missing frame" that causes ghosting in my actual footage.
    I've reported it as a bug, but am I wrong? Premiere also reimports the EDL and shows a footage duration of 10:28:00:05 - 10:28:08:14 so it's losing a frame there too.
    EDIT
    I retract that, it appears that it's an issue with how Premiere exports EDLs.
    Let me explain:
    EDLs use inside/outside cuts.
    If I have a clip that goes from 18:03:36:04 to 18:03:47:20, the EDL displays it as 18:03:36:04 to 18:03:47:21 since the out cut is outside of the wanted frame; it's always plus +1.
    Premiere, apparently freaks out over certain ranges. The offending EDL had a clip range of 10:28:00:05 to 10:28:08:15 and the EDL reflected 10:28:00:05 to 10:28:08:15... off one frame. Other programs think it's an outside cut and dump one frame making the end point 10:28:08:14.
    I actually went into each media clip in Premiere, cleared the in and out points, and then recut the same in and outs and replaced the clips on the timeline. Problem solved, but it freaks me out that there was no concrete reason behind what happened. I wonder if it's related to using the trim tools.

    First,
    Why on earth did you start a long project without testing on forehand if it will work?
    And yes, FCP can import EDL's, but not for subtitles. There is no way you can get subtitles in an EDL, unless they are rendered bitmaps.
    Next, the example you give has nothing to do with an EDL. It can be Spruce STL or subrip format.
    In order to get them into FCP, you need to get them in a format FCP understands.
    My subtitler program (that is NOT free btw..) can do so (if you can output to a slightly different text format, or contact me with an example of your file).
    You'll then end up with XML to create decent titles with shadow and outline.

  • Importing EDL from AVID into Premiere with Alexa-Footage

    Hi,
    here is what I am trying to achieve:
    1. Edit in AVID with Alexa Footage
    2. Export EDL
    3. Import EDL in Premiere
    4. Relink Media
    5. Export to After Effects
    Here is a little piece out of my EDL:
    007 A008C010 V C 01:34:45:02 01:34:45:19 01:00:08:18 01:00:09:10
    008 A008C001 V C 00:15:30:16 00:15:32:01 01:00:09:10 01:00:10:20
    009 A008C006 V C 00:52:43:08 00:52:45:21 01:00:10:20 01:00:13:08
    The import of the EDL works fine in Premiere. My objects in the Project Panel are called "A008C010", "A008C001", and so on. When I'm trying to relink the media I need to select every single project-item because Premiere doesn't recognize my files automatically based on the connection to the filename.
    I tried lots of stuff, renaming my files without extension -> Premiere doesn't accept the files anymore, renaming my items in Project Panel "name" and "tape name" -> the relink-media doesn't recognize the same name, and so on.
    What am I missing here?
    Thank you!

    Hi there.
    Premiere needs to have the full file name with extension in the EDL itself.  Changing it in the project after the EDL has been imported won't work. All you need to do is change your EDL to look like:
    007 A008C010.mov V C 01:34:45:02 01:34:45:19 01:00:08:18 01:00:09:10
    008 A008C001.mov V C 00:15:30:16 00:15:32:01 01:00:09:10 01:00:10:20
    009 A008C006.mov V C 00:52:43:08 00:52:45:21 01:00:10:20 01:00:13:08
    Should be able to do a simple Search and Replace on your EDL in any wordpad editing software... just search for  " V "  (note the space before and after the "V") and replace with ".mov V " (with a space after the "V")
    Cheers!

  • I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware).  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
    For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths.  For example:
    Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content. 
    It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
    file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad.  In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
    Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result.  Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
    I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind.  The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

  • Importing tga problem

    I have several targa image sequences from a client. FCP (6.0.5) will import some but not others. The only difference I can find is that under "kind" in the get info window some are "tga image" and the others are "adobe photoshop targa file". The latter imports no problem, while the former give an error: "File Error 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or have run into this issue?
    FWIW, I checked the fils in photoshop and they all have the same modes. They also all have the same file sequence naming structure.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Actually forgot to explain that the error I mentioned above occurs when I try to import just 1 of the targa files individually. If I try to import a sequence the number of errors changes to match the number of targas in the sequence. Sorry about the miscommunication. For the record, there are no other files inside the sequence folder(s) - just the targas.
    Still haven't figured this out yet. Shake, Nuke, After Effects, Photoshop all open/import the files, but FCP will not.

  • Importing EDLs and Reconnecting Media... Who can answer this question?

    Hi, happy holidays! What am I missing here:
    I have an EDL with in and out points from a number of different source files.
    I import the EDL in Final Cut Pro as a sequence.
    I click on the sequence. The edit decisions can be seen in the timeline, with all of the source files designated as offline.
    I select the timeline and attempt to reconnect the media.
    The media reconnects, no problem, but the edit decisions aren't in place. In other words, all of the media files begin at the beginning of the source media files (i.e. 04:00:00:00), rather than at the edit decision in and out points for each of the edits in the timeline.
    Surely I'm just missing a step here, right?
    Thanks, Mtbakerstu

    Hi Jerry,
    The source files have been have been re-encoded with a different codec, but they are exactly the same insofar as duration of the source files, and the timecode hour and frame rate they have been assigned, as well as the name I have assigned the files.
    I am simply trying to trick the EDL into recreating a timeline which utilizes source files which have been encoded differently than the original source files... And the timeline is recognizing these files.... only it won't cue the files up to correct timecode point in the files.
    Hope that makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Mtbakerstu

  • Send to Speedgrade and Export EDL problems

    So I'm working on a small series. I've got a final cut on Premiere Pro, and having already tested out Speedgrade I would like to use that for my final color correction and export. However I'm running into problems I'd never run into before. First the "Send to Speedgrade" option. When I use Send to Speedgrade, having my sequence selected, for some reason it is only exporting the audio and not the video. Once Speedgrade opens all I have is the .wav in the timeline from my sequence, but nothing else, all on one track. I've tried making sure my video was all on one track in Premiere Pro, and exported the audio and re-imported to put that on a single track in Premiere Pro as well, but still no joy. Seems strange cause I've never had this issue.
    So I tried the export as EDL function, which never seems to work cause certain "edits" are not supported (even though it's just simple cuts.) In another forum I found out the issue can also be with the audio, so I tried to cut the audio from my sequence in Premiere Pro, export as EDL, and then open up that within Speedgrade, and importing the aformentioned audio track separately on the speedgrade timeline. This lets me open the EDL no problem (no red error message) and then reconnect the reels using my desktop, but my issue then becomes the audio. I can bring the audio in fine, but I didn't count on the fact that when I rebuild the reels it uses the audio from the original files as well. (obviously I can mute the track, as I just realized that simple fix while writing this issue up, but I still feel like I might be doing something wrong - because when I try to consolidate all the audio/video onto two separate tracks in Premiere Pro, it'll let me open the EDL I export into speedgrade, but the audio is still not showing up unless I import that separately.)
    Anyway this is just weird as I never ran into these problems before. They might be first version issues that have been resolved, but I refuse to update speedgrade because everytime I do it crashes on startup, and no one has helped me with that previous issue, and despite my best efforts at resolving it using the forums I haven't had any luck.

    Regarding the problem when you "Send to Speedgrade" and only the audio shows up, I just worked through the same problem (Premiere Pro CC 7.01)
    You need to make sure the "work area bar" is selected around your timeline that you want to send to Speedgrade. If it has disappeared mysteriously (as it did for me), simply double-click where it usually shows up and it will reappear, with in and out points set to the extents of your timeline. Then send to Speedgrade and the video is sent along with the audio. Seems like a bug, or at least something that can be better documented. Though I suspect this workflow has changed in 7.1 ...

  • EDL Problems

    Hello,
    I'm having problems trying to import an EDL that was exported from an AVID system. (EDL CMX 340) into FCP HD. I have encountered several problems with this:
    1) After importing the EDL into FCP, the new sequence that was created appeared to be missing several key sections of both audio and video that had been present in the avid version of the sequence. I orginally assumed that this was due to an error on the part of the person sending me the file,that she was exporting an EDL from the wrong sequence on her AVID, but after several trials, it appears that she is sending me an EDL from the right sequence. Is it possible for FCP to be interpretting the EDL incorrectly?
    2) I have since tried re-importing the EDL into FCP and now receive an error message saying that this is a badly formatted EDL.
    She is sending me a CMX 340 file which according to the FCP help manual, is supported by FCP.
    Anybody else have any problems like this?

    Also, EDLs only carry ONE video track. The Avid editor needs to collapse their tracks down to one, or give you multiple EDLs. And, there are only 2 (maybe 4) tracks of audio. Any more must be contained in the comments in the EDL. I don't know if FCP recognizes that. If there are more than 2 (or maybe 4) audio tracks, the best bet is to generate multiple EDLs. Finally, no graphic files or titling come across in the edl (well, except as a cut to AUX), so those must be brought across manually.
    This is no different than if the Avid editor had to generate EDLs for an online session and not some weird variance for FCP.

  • Importing EDL project frame rate is always 23.98

    Hi There,
    I'm importing a 24 frame EDL. All of the import settings are set to 24 fps. However on import, the project frame rate is always 23.98.
    I have added the number 24 to the defaulteframerate section of the preferences file, but no luck.
    Anyone found a solution to this?
    Thanks

    Just a wild guess since I don't normally work in 24 fps... all of us NTSC-biased types accept that 23.98 (more accurately, if not absolutely precisely expressed as 23.976) is the "pull-down" frame rate that results from a telecine transfer, and is the rate that is assumed, corresponding to 29.97 or 1000/1001.
    This framerate is emulated in a number of "Digital Cinema" electronic origin formats.
    Absolute 24.0000 fps is a bit rare in these parts and in reality probably would only come up if one were working with a dpx image sequence properly scanned, not telecined.
    Not saying that 24.000 does not exist -- I'd say that it is just as uncomfortable a fit in 25 fps-land as it is here! And Color / Final Touch has been notoriously bad with 25 fps.
    good luck and merry christmas....

  • Import purchase - problem with delivery costs

    Hi guys,
    In case of import purchase, we are normally giving 3 to 4 types of delivery costs (like freight,agency charges etc).  If there is no transaction done against the PO, we are able to either change or add new delivery cost to the Purchase Order.  But if we try to make changes or add one more condition type (related to delivery cost), after preparing inbound delivery/goods receipt against the PO, it is not allowing.  Do we need to make any configuratin changes for this to happen.
    Please suggest us the way out for this problem.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Directory Server 6.2 upgrade to 6.3: import LDIF problem

    Hi all,
    I have tried upgrading my Directory Server 6.2 to version 6.3 because of the database integrity issues as stated in:
    http://blogs.sun.com/dsee/entry/directory_server_6_2_database
    I have followed the steps defined in this article:
    1. Shut down each directory server instance, as described in Starting, Stopping, and Restarting a Directory Server Instance.
    2. Perform an LDIF export of the database, as described in Backing Up to LDIF.
    3. Install the hotfix for bug 6642430 on Directory Server 6.2, or upgrade your Directory Server 6.2 instance to Directory Server 6.3 once Directory Server 6.3 is available for download (early April). You will need to login to Sunsolve in order to see this bug description.
    But when importing the LDIF export, I got the following error:
    [17/Dec/2008:14:44:08 +0100] - import ec: WARNING: Skipping entry "sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalServerInstanceMonitoringID=Monitoring,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalServerInstanceID=sol10portal-80,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalID=portal1,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainID=defaultDomain,o=example" whichIt's the only information I get about why the entry was skipped (I did not forget to copy the part after 'which', there was no information there :-))
    This resulted in a missing Portal instance configuration and thus I got a 'configuration error' when surfing through the gateway to the portal.
    I have also tried: manually importing that entry, which resulted in a 'Object does not exist' error. I have tried copying the whole tree from another backup with identical setup, which wasn't working either.
    Did anyone experience the same problems before? Did I do something wrong or is there a workaround for this?
    Second question: What is the exact reason why a export and import is necessary? Or is it only necessary if the database is already corrupt? Is there a way to check that?
    Thanks alot!
    Sten

    The entry was not imported most likely because it's parent isn't in the database yet. Are entries above this in another backend ? If so try importing that backend first. Also, that dn is so long, that it exhausted the buffer which is used to write messages in the access log. This is why, there's nothing after "which".
    What is the exact reason why a export and import is necessary? Or is it only necessary if
    the database is already corrupt? Is there a way to check that?The database corruption could be silent. So a binary backup/restore when going from 6.2 to 6.3 is not recommended and the LDIF route must be used.

  • Problem related to OSS Note - importing file problem

    Hi,
    I m facing an issue while implenting an oss note 430580 , i have to import files from sapserver.
    but i don't know how to do it.
    below is the description of my problem.
    Import the following files from SAPSERV:
    /general/R3server/abap/note.0430580/K000687.PLM
    /general/R3server/abap/note.0430580/R000687.PLM
    Import the two files into your system.
    For more information on SAPSERV, see Note 13719.
    Can any one tell me how can i get rid out of this prioblem.
    whether this is possible or BASIS Team can only do this.
    system details
    Operating system     SunOS
    Machine type         sun4u
    R/3 release 4.6C

    Well, these files are part of the zip.file which belong to the note. This is part of a regular transport and is normally done be basis. The data and the cofile (K....PLM & R...PLM) should be imported into your system. Before doing so they have to be transferred to the file server. Better let BASIS do these kind of things.

  • Java import statement problems

    Hello...
    I have the book "Java in a Nutshell, 2nd ed" and have a query about a nested top-level interface example they have in the book.
    Basically there's two files/classes. The first, LinkedList.java, is as follows:
    public class LinkedList {
        public static interface Linkable {
            // Linkable interface details here
        // rest of LinkedList class here
    Next is LinkedList.java as follows:
    import LinkedList.*;
    class LinkableInteger2 implements Linkable {
        // rest of LinkableInteger2 class here
    Now I thought the import statement had two forms - and both used a package name as part of the statement:
    import package.class;
    import package.*;
    Obviously, neither class has a package statement.
    As written, these classes do not compile. Am I right in assuming the lack of a package name is causing this problem, or is there something else going on here?
    Thanks...
    Mark.

    Since you don't have package statements in the files, the classes are being placed in the default package. You cannot explicitly import classes from the default package. Al classes in the default package, the java.lang package and the current package are always imported automatically. Your import statement is incorrect - remove it.

Maybe you are looking for
