Import project from FCP 6 to FCP 10

I can probably answer this myself, but is there any way to open project from FCP 6 in FCP 10? Can't export as an XML because I no longer have FCP 6.

YYou will need to find someone with your version or FCP7.

  • Can't import multiclip from FCP

    I am trying to import a multiclip project from FCP and the file appears to process except it fails at the end and the error message says error processing.
    am I missing something other then my file? or is there a work around?
    thanks

    Perhaps we're just arguing about semantics, but the fact is that it will play successfully in the flash viewer and I have been delivering h264 files to webdesigners for the last 6 months which are simply renamed with the flv extension. And if this is what the OP needs to do, it will work for him. Do some searching here and you'll see this is common practice. If you look at what formats the last few iterations of the flash player will accept, you'll see h264 is fine.

  • Importing audio from FCP

    Is there a way to import audio projects from FCP into logic keeping the automation that the video editor has made?
    Is there a file format other than OMF that contains the automation. and can FCP export it and can logic read it?
    Is there a 3rd party application that can convert?
    Or do I have to go back to the bad old days of Pro Tools (or worse, Soundtrack "pro")? PT LE is limited for soundtrack production, isn't it?
    Is there anyone doing serious audio post production on logic, and if so, how are the projects imported?

    The problem with exporting to AIFF, is that you can't crossfade between your cuts, or normalize regions. Your just stuck with the FCP raw mix. This is OK if your cut is relatively simple and you've already crossfaded and blah, but if you've got all kinds of dynamics going on, and different types of recording, you're definitely going to want more control over the export.
    The problem with OMF, is that it doesn't translate well into LP. This seems to be a regular thing coming up on threads, apparently it works better with other audio editors but not LP. I've found that despite specifying handles on my export, non appear thus making crossfading impossible, you just get the same glitches your trying to eliminate.
    HOWEVER the great thing is that apple invented their own format XML, an apple interchangeable file format. If you import this to LP, you get REGIONS like in FCP that reference the original files on your HD, which means you can now CROSS FADE, and NORMALIZE.
    That makes me happy. I like it.

  • How do i take a project from FCP to DVD so it plays on a DVD Player

    Help, i need to export a project from FCP in a format which will play on through a UK DVD player and TV. What format do i export to ?
    I then understand i need to import this into DVD Studio Pro set it up to Loop and then burn to DVD R, is this correct ?
    Help please
    Hillster

    Export QT/Current Settings/Self Contained/Audio and Video.
    Drop it into Compressor and choose the DVD preset that matches the total number of minutes of video and also use dolby2 audio.
    Import into DVD SP.
    Delete the menu in the graphic view. Set the track to first play and loop or end jump to itself.
    Drop the video and audio assets into that track.

  • I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio t

    I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file?
    The manual tells me that to export multiple audio tracks, File>Export>QT Movie has it's Config pop-up menu in the Audio Settings area of the General tab of the Sequence Settings. Well, that's set for 4 discrete channels, but the QT export settings only allow for 2 mono or 1 stereo output, and that's what I get when I try it. What it says in the manual just doesn't happen.
    Exporting via Compressor, on the other hand, has an abundance of choices of 4-track outputs, none of which are labelled as anything resembling 'discrete'. Would any of those 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line? As I am monitoring for this task on a 2-track audio system, I cannot confirm exactly what I am getting when I use any of those settings.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    John

    Call me naive, but I've not heard of splitting the stereo pairs like this before.
    What broadcaster? (perhaps one of our EU regulars will drop in...)
    You can do all sorts of pairing but it is coincident tracks pairing- eg 1/2 + 3/4
    Sorry I can't offer anything.

  • Compressor doesn't import AC3 from FCP

    Hi,
    I am trying to export my project from FCP into Compressor 2 to encode as MPEG 2 + AC3. The video compresses fine, but the audio file doesn't play in DVD SP. If I export to Quicktime (source settings) from FCP, and encode in Compressor, I get 2 good files...but now my chapter markers are lost. It appears that the export from FCP as QT looses the chapter markers ( when I open the QT file using the QT app. I see <CUT> where the first chapter marker should be and it remains throughout the rest of my project.
    I want to make a simple multi chapter video with AC3 audio and it seems to be very tricky.
    Thanks

    Are you sure you're inserting <CHAPTER> markers in your FCP movie? If not, you have to add a "marker" then "edit" and choose "chapter" on the edit menu. I usually export a "reference" not "self-contained" and drag it into Compressor and it works fine.

  • What's the best way to send a project from fcp to my .mac video gallery ?

    Hi
    i have a small 14 minutes project i would like to post on .mac in my gallery.
    iMovie can do it easily but thats to many steps from fcp to imovie and to .mac
    is there a more direct way of transferring movies ( projects ) ?

    You don't send projects from FCP to .mac.
    Export the movie using a reasonable compression for internet playback.
    Open up your .mac iDisk folder and drag the exported file to your movies folder on the iDisk
    Open up .mac, create a web page and link your movie. I suppose iWeb does this as well but have never used the program.
    If you want more help, try the .mac forum.
    Good luck,

  • WebDynpro Problem - Importing Project from tutorials

    I am trying to gothru the tutorial Accessing ABAP Functions in Web Dynpro (4).
    I have downloaded and unzipped the zip file 4TutWD_FlightList.zip
    When I try and Import a project,
    It finds the Project TutWD_FlightList_init, I am able to select the project, but then I recieve a error
    "Errors importing Projects
      Error message: Invalid project description.
    I have tried other project tutorials off SDN and get the same error.

    Luciano,
    I have tried the File>Import>Import Project from File System>
    I am able to get the project created but none of the other structure is being built. The application,controller, views and window are all missing. I have tried to  rebuild the project and I have tried to repair the project. No errors but no project structure either. I was a little confused by your suggestion to extract and then extract again. I have no files in the   TutWD_FlightList_init.zip  to extract again.
    Also in the directory structure I have the files for the project such as...
    project --> ProjectProperties.wdproperties
    application --> FlightListApp.wdapplication
    resultview-->  ResultView.wdview , ResultView.wdview.xlf
    controllers --> SearchView.wdcontroller
    Any other suggestion would be appreciated,

  • Question about moving a project from FCP to Premiere to do color correcting/sound finalizing.

    My friend and i have been editing a film on FCP express. I've been learning more about editing and color correcting recently and have been teaching myself on  Adobe Premiere. I offered to color correct the film on Premiere on my system. I'm curious what the best way to do this would be. is it possible to take the timeline from FCB with the raw data and somehow open that in CS? Or should he export the pre corrected final cut without correcting as a certain type of file, then I work on that, then export that as the final cut?

    If FCP express has XML export, then you can export the project and then import the XML into Premiere Pro.  It will give you the basics of the timeline and basic transforms for each clip (position, scale, rotation).  However, not everything comes across - titles and 3rd party effects will not come across.
    Given that, another option is to render out the entire movie and then grade it in Premiere Pro.  But you lose a lot of control if you go that way.
    The third option is to import into Premiere Pro and rebuild the bits you might be missing from FCP and then you have both the control and options.
    Hope this helps,
    Dennis

  • Help!! Importing audio from FCP

    Hi, I have final cut studio 5 and the problem i have is sending from FCP to STP.
    In the last project i put together i had recorded a lecture and the audio was fine when the lecturer was speaking, but when people asked questions the audio was very poor. As it was a lecture there was no need to edit it so i captured the whole 70min video file in 1 go. I then split the clip up using the blade tool so as that the questions people were asking were in seperate clips to the lecturer talking.
    I then right clicked on a question clip and chose send to STP, it went in but it was the whole audio file from the lecture not just the 20 seconds that i wanted, is there any way i can do this?
    Cheers for your help with this
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Had the same problem. This happens because it is a reference clip in STP, always looking to the original media file. Doesn't matter if you cut it in parts in FCpro: it always shows the entire clip in STP. If the original mediafile is long it slows down everything in STP particularly with drawing the waveform
    Solution: finilize your editing in FCpro so you are sure content and lenght are ok; than use the mediamanager to COPY the whole project using 'DELETE UNUSED MEDIA', add handle length etc.
    If you send audio files from this new FCpro project to STP you can work with you 20 seconds audioclip
    Hope this helps

  • Problem importing Sequence from FCP 7 to Color 1.5!!!!!

    I am trying to export a Sequence from FCP 7 into Color and am experiencing problems. When I send the Sequence to Color from FCP 7 Color receives the incorrect in and out points for many of the clips in my original FCP sequence. All of the footage being used was captured with the same settings from the same camera (Canon xha1). I have made all of the clips in my sequence that had basic motion effects into self-contained QT movies, so the basic motion ramping I've done shouldnt be a problem, right? There are no filters on the clips either. After hours and hours of searching, reading, and trial and error I cant figure out why Color will not recognize and play the clips as they appear in FCP. This is killing me and the project I am working on is due ASAP.
    Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

    In the Logging Info tab in Item Properties, the self contained QT movies I made have a TC Rate of 24 whereas the normal clips from the sequence have a TC rate of 30. Could this be the reason Color wont read the sequence correctly?
    I have tried to remake the self contained QT movies with the Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 30p 48khz setting, yet still the TC Rate shows 24. What am I doing wrong?
    You probably have "24" fps media on a 29.97 fps timeline, which would explain a few other things, especially why the in/out points are wrong on the COLOR timeline. COLOR does not look at express timecodes -- it functions like a good old fashioned EDL and works on durations -- so if the frame rate disagrees, the trims will also be incorrect.
    I have no idea how you are making the self-contained QTs. Are you using Export QT, or Conversion? Are you manipulating the export settings in any way? Are you exporting from the timeline?
    I myself am very disappointed with Apple's inability to cope with 23.98/29.97, because you are also dealing with three flavours of cadence/pull-down, not all of which are handled correctly, especially with ProRes.

  • Highlights clipped away when importing AE from FCP

    I'm sure this has been posted but I can't find anything.
    Importing a blown-out video clip into after effects, the color and luma values over 100% are clipped as if a Broadcast Safe filter has been applied.
    If I export from FCP as Apple Prores (HQ) and re-import it, it's fine. All the information above 100% are still there.
    If I import it into After Effects and export it back to FCP as Apple Prores (HQ), all the values are clipped away that were over 100% in the vetroscope. Seems like I lose my highlights as soon as I import it into AE. Is this normal? Am I supposed to bring the levels down before working in AE?
    I have Mac Pro 3.0, latest After Effect CS4 and FCP. The latest Quicktime. AJA Lhe HD card.

    I recommend taking a look at the post on ProRes colors in AE, in Todd Kopriva's blog, Region of Interest.

  • Exporting multiple projects from FCP timeline hangs

    When rendering multiple projects from Final Cut Pro's timeline through compressor, I get varied results. I am rendering 3 files - Apple Pro Res, MPEG-2 (VBR Highest quality for Blu-Ray), & 48khz AIFF audio file.
    Typically we will set up 3 projects for one night to render overnight (30 minutes to 1 hour for each project). In the morning when we come in compressor will sometimes show up as 90 hours remaining, sometimes it will still be cranking out on the last project with 12 hours remaining. If we leave it going it will eventually finish. However when we shut everything down, reboot computer, start export from timeline and it completes the render in HALF the time compressor stated remaining before we closed it. Each project typically takes 6-8 hours to get all three files (pro res, MPEG-2, AIFF) we allow 18 hours for render.
    Drive space should not be an issue. We have a 5 TB array (typically has 2 TB free for 4 projects), system drive has 350 GB free and the 4 projects rendered out will take up approximately 300 GB. The project reads, and writes to the array for everything.
    Any help on trying to figure out why compressor slows down over time. Once restarting compressor goes as expected.
    Thanks for the help in advance.
    Don
    All software is up to date latest versions of FCP and Compressor.

    This is like an EDL...Edit Decision List.  This basically is a metadata rich document that is used to transfer clip information between systems.  You can export an XML from FCP 7 to FCP 6 so that you can open a sequence, or a project.  Export an XML of the sequence and open that up in Excel to have clip name, reel and timecode information for tracking footage.

  • Sending multitrack Project from FCP to STP on another computer doesn't work

    Hello,
    I attempted to search the forums but can't find my specific problem mentioned. I apologize if I overlooked it!
    I am attempting to send a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project from Final Cut Pro 6.01 to Soundtrack Pro 2.01 on another computer. When I do, the video comes through fine but the audio fails to transfer over.
    Here's what I did:
    First I open the Final Cut Project, highlight all the clips in the sequence to send and click "Send to Soundtrack Pro MultiTrack Project". I select all options including the "Fully Rendered Video" Option. This project opens up great in Sound Track Pro on the original computer. In Soundtrack Pro I "save as" and make sure I select "Collect Audio Files", "Collect unused audio files", & "Collect Video File". As far as I have read, this should be all I need to make sure all of the audio and video clips transfer together with the STP file.
    However, when I place this folder (including the media files) on a external hard drive and transfer it on to our other computer (set up for audio recording and editing) and open it up in STP I get no audio. The clips visually transfer and all the clip lengths match up with the video, however there is no waveform showing. A straight line at 0db is all that shows up. I check the clips in the bin and they show the same file size as on the first computer. When I select an audio clip and take a look at the actions tab it shows the name of the clip and under it it says "insert silence" (which was not there on the original computer). When I de-select the insert silence the audio still does not play (the straight line on the waveform disappears). I try deleting the "insert silence" action and the same thing happens.
    I have tried doing this operation mulitple ways with the same result. Am I doing something wrong? The only thing I can think of is the file starts out on OSX 10.4.11 and is transfered over to leopard 10.5. I just tried doing the reverse operation (creating the file from the audio computer and sending it to the video computer) and everything works fine. No idea what this means. I need this to work the other way around so I can begin the extremely intensive audio work on this film while our editor continues the video edits so thank you very much for any help that you can lend me. It is greatly appreciated.
    -Matt

    Could be a difference in OS's causing the problem, but I can't say for sure. You could try using the OMF export option instead. I almost guarantee it will work.
