Import Failure-- Final Cut Pro XML

I am editing a short film with my school imacs and I want to bring that project home to add my music and sound effects in premiere pro CS6. I Exported an XML file from Final cut pro 6 with standard settings. I copied the xml file to a flash drive and brought home to my windows 7 PC with Adobe Premeire Pro CS6 installed. When Import the XML file from my flash drive i get the error-- This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be asociated with this file type. I checked the codec of the XML and  it is <codecname>Apple ProRes 422</codecname>. Any help?

When you reimport the exported project XML to FCP, do you get the full project or just the single bin/sequence? If you get the full project then it sounds like you need Premiere help, not FCP help ... have you tried asking on the Adobe forums? If you only get the single bin/sequence then it seems you might have inadvertently selected those prior to creating the project export. Try making sure that your FCP Browser window is active and that you have not selected anything within that window prior to using the File > Export > XML command. If that still causes issue then you might try using an earlier FCP XML version.
Hope it helps

  • Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

    I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
    I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
    I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
    Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
    There are no markers.
    Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
    The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
    The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
    The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
    If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
    If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
    Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
    However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
    FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
    I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
    I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
    Thank millions for a solution.

    It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.  I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite.  I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating. 

  • Export a Final Cut Pro XML file problem about translation issue

    When I export the final cut pro xml file, there is always translation issue like that 'Transition <....> not translated, Cross Dissolve used instead.'
    Most of the transition type can cause the translation issues except the wipe and cross dissolve.
    Is there any body knowing the reason? Is that OK?
    By the way , I am using the trial version of cs5

    Hey Ani_,
    I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
    Import your footage into Premiere Pro
    Name your clips (helps find things later on)
    Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
    Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
    Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do.  You will notice you have no errors on the export.
    Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.

  • Video quality changes when imported into Final Cut Pro

    I have video files that I have imported from an external hard drive that were transferred from an HD camera. When viewing the footage directly from the hard drive, the quality is great. Once imported into Final Cut Pro, however, there are small "flares" (don't know how else to describe them) that appear for split seconds across the screen. The best way to describe it is if you are watching a television that has an antenna, there will be static or interferance on the image. This is barely noticable but I can't determine what would cause the decline in quality. My video settings are set to DV NTSC 48 kHz and wonder if this is the problem or if anyone knows of something else that I should change prior to importing.

    Thank you so much for your help! I am technically challenged and STRUGGLING to say the least.
    Some files are definitely H.264 and I can convert them to ProRes. I also have clips that are
    DVCPRO HD 1080p25, 1,440 x 1,080 (1,888 x 1,062)
    Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    Current Size: 1,440 × 810 pixels
    Will I need to do anything to those as well?
    Here is the question I'm afraid to ask because I think I know the answer already. Can I simply replace the clips in my sequence with the newly compressed ProRes files or do I have to change all of the video and sequence settings and then start all over?

  • Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

    Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

    FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
    Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

  • Final Cut Pro XML from Premiere Generates Blank EDL Spreadsheet from Online Widgets

    Using CS6, I am trying to create a spreadsheet based off a Final Cut Pro XML generated from Premiere Pro.  I upload the XML to two different widgets (one of which being http://192.168.3.232/ingest/uploadFile.php), but then the spreadsheet that generates is blank, except for titles at the top of the columns (such as "Track #", "Shot #", etc. for this EDL).  I've used these widgets to create EDL spreadsheets numerous times before, using both CS6 and CC, and this is the first time they've created blank spreadsheets. 
    Any help you could give would be much appreciated!

    Sort of a work around I am testing:
    I have a cool script to open FCPro projects in AE. Sort of a free Automatic Duck.  I was going to do this:
    Remove all effects and proprietary tracks in FCPro, as some cause problems with this script. Trial and error here.
    Use the free script FCP2AE to export to AE (it's hard to find now)
    Open the timeline in AE via the script FCP2AE
    Export that from AE as PPProCC 2014 project
    Open in PPCC2014
    That may work, it may also work just to remove all effects and then save the XML and open in PP CC 2014. Again sometimes it does work. The simpler the FCPro project the better.
    Another option
    I was able to open the FCPro audio only OMF in Audition. Then I exported via XML FCPro format from Audition and this opened the audio tracks in PPCC2014. The stereo tracks were broken and placed on two mono tracks so you'll have to address that one.

  • Missing all export options in Adobe Premiere (can only export to final cut pro xml). Where are the options?

    Missing all export options in Adobe Premiere (can only export to final cut pro xml). Where are the options?

    There never was a trial version of FCP7. The application was only ever sold as part of the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. You might still find copies on eBay.

  • How do I import my Final Cut Pro 10 (FCPX) XML files into Logic 9?

    I am using 10.0.5. Which is the latest version Of Final Cut Pro X. I export my project out as a XML in FCPX. Then went into Logic 9 clicked on import then selected XML how ever the XML file was grey and Logic wouldn't  come up as a valid XML to import. Please help me! Thanks

    AFAIK Logic 9 can't import the form of XML that FCP X outputs.
    There may be other ways to bridge the gap, but since I don't  use Logic 9 I can't help further.

  • Send to - Final Cut Pro XML data not seeing my Color render

    Sup folks,
    As always I did some lurking on these boards and consulted the manual about this issue.
    Nada.
    I've rendered my shots. They were all queued. They were all rendered.
    When I use the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command I get the "not all your clips were rendered" warning. I click yes to see what I will get.
    FCP imports the XML data and I get nothing. All of the clips in my FCP timeline generated through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command are all of my original media prior to my color workflow. Not my graded Color renders.
    I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
    I thought that would fix my problem. It didnt.
    So again: my issue is that even with my shots all rendered correctly (i checked them in QT) the XML being sent to FCP through the Send to -> Final Cut Pro command is not hooking up with my renders.
    Deadline tomorrow.
    As always,thanks for your time

    I did move my renders from a local drive to an external because of data capacity. After doing so I did >update my Media, Render and Project paths to the new location of my media.
    If I'm following the sequence correctly, you rendered your material to a local drive. Then you moved it, changed the paths (in COLOR), and then tried to "Send to... FCP". Is this correct? If so, doomed to failure. In your case, you may have even moved an empty folder.
    There is an ironclad and non-negotiable series of events in rendering and initiating the roundtrip. Many users regard this as a "bug". One of the first things that a user should always do is set up all the target paths before even doing the first grade. But it is essential that the target render path be set up PRIOR to loading the Render Queue. COLOR creates the receiving folder at that time, and that is where the media will go no matter what you do after the RenderQueue is loaded. Change the path, change the format... change whatever you want... the deal has been done, and all will be ignored. However, once the media is rendered and you choose Send To... FCP, then the original XML that FCP sent will be modified by COLOR and passed back to Final Cut. COLOR does NOT,repeat, NOT generate EDLs, XMLs, or any of that stuff. It only modifies original lists. That you modified the Media, Render and Project paths (probably only in the User Preferences tab) is meaningless once the project has been rendered. The Render path for this individual project is determined in the Project Settings pane, along with the render dimensions and format. However, COLOR will observe a path change AFTER the render, and edits the XML re-export to try to find the media in the newly named directory. Of course, your media is actually elsewhere, and you get a blank sequence.
    Lastly, make sure that you SAVE the project after renders, to retain the "rendered" clip status -- or COLOR won't remember any of this.

  • Final Cut Pro XML

    Is it possible to convert an apple XML 4 file to an XML 3 file for import into Final Cut? I originally exported in Final Cut Pro 7 as an XML 4 file, I am trying to open the file in Final Cut Pro 5.

  • Final Cut Pro XML for entire project?

    Hi,
    I would like to import my entire final cut pro 7 project (20 bins, 10 sequences, 300+ clips) to Premiere CS5.It is very important that the structure that I have setup be maintained (bins, sequences and the clips within them) About two months a ago, I did this without a hitch.
    This time I can't seem to get more than 1 bin and 1 sequence to export from FCP. I checked the master clips, but still 1 bin, 1 sequence.
    Help would be greatly appreciated

  • How can I restart media import in final cut pro?

    The operation of background activities on Final Cut Pro is often convenient, except when an import gets interrupted by an inadvertant media removal.   I usually have multiple SD cards connected to my Mac doing imports, and if I have more media than I have adapters/slots to connect them with, I will invariably unplug the wrong card, and interrupt an import that is in progress.  When I put the card back in, there is nothing that I can see to "restart" the import of that media where it left off at, or at least start over, and overwrite any incomplete files.  Instead, it seem that I need to import the card into a new event, and then use finder to then move the media files into the old event folder structure.  Only then, can I get something that seems to work.
    Is there some other way to reliably restart the import, or otherwise force the import to actually work?  It seems that if I try to import to the same event, again, I see the animation of the closing file selection dialog toward the events, but the background tasks window shows no activity, and I don't see anything ever complete as an import.
    This, also blocks any attempt to "share" the project too, because it keeps complaining about an import which has not finished, and thus the project is still referencing "media on the camera" .  That limitation has got to go away too! I really want to construct my project, share it, and move on.  Waiting for media to "import" when I actually can construct the project with the preliminary media view doesn't make sense.  Even if importing needs to happen for conversion/rendering for the share, just do that in the background.  Let me say "share", and go do something else with my time!
    I have submitted feedback on this, but if anyone has pointers of simplifying import from SD cards that would be great!

    Select the photos you want rotated, open the Inspector (command-4). In the Video section of the Inspector, hover your mouse near the Transform and click show if it's not already open. The rotation setting is in there.

  • Can I import a Final Cut Pro X project back into Final Cut 7?

    I want to go back to Final Cut 7 (Studio '09) from Final Cut Pro X, but I've already started work in Final Cut Pro X, and I'm worried that my FCP X timelines won't open in FCP 7. Does anyone know?

    big no on that one Im afraid, at some point in the future FCPX may export xml but not yet, your project (timeline) is pretty much quarantined inside FCPX, I'd bite the bullet and finish it there if I were you
    cheers
