Importing a FCP project into FCE?

I'll try to import a FCP 7.0.2 project based on DVCPRO50 mediafiles.... into FCE 4.0.1. It will not open (of course), but is it because of not supporting the codec, or is it generally not possible to open a Pro project in Express (dependent on the material)...?!?
Any tips or tricks? Can the FCP project be saved or converted in a way that FCE will read?

Unfortunately you can't open FCP project files in FCE, only the other way around. Even if the codec was supported (which it's not), it wouldn't be possible.
If you need to edit in FCE you could always export from FCP as a Quicktime Movie in a codec that FCE does support: namely DV-NTSC or AIC.

  • 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.

  • Import fcp filters into fce?

    Is there any way of importing fcp filters into fce?
    I have a FCE project but cannot open it in FCP as I have version 5 of FCP and FCE 4. All I want to do is get the 3-way color corrector into FCE.
    Any way to do this?

    Interesting question. The 2-way CC filter is a specific feature of FCE vs. the 3-way filter in FCP - it's one of the intentional differences between the two products, by design.
    You would breach your license(s) if you found a way to get any of the embedded filters out of FCP, and also if you were to get them into FCE. From the FCP license - +"you may not copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of the Apple Software or any part thereof."+
    Then there's the also matter of whether or not it would even work, even if it were legal to do what you want to do here.
    Suggestion - read "Cheating in Final Cut Express: Better Color Correction on Ken Stone's FCP website. It may help you with the color corrections you want to do in FCE.

  • Cannot import an iMovie HD project into FCE

    Hi,
    I've been trying to import an iMovie HD (iMovie 6.0.4) project into FCE and all I get is an error:-
    I've also tried to import the same project file into iMovie '09 but nothing is imported.
    Any suggestions, please?
    Thanks,
    TonyT

    Hi
    NO - Not really !
    iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one program and it's evolution.
    iMovie'08 to '13 - is something completly different - NO code is used from previous iMovie !
    So really No other program - iMovie'08 - '13 or FinalCut Express, Pro or Pro-X or Adobe Premiere etc can import a project so that all work (transitions. texts etc) still remain in an editable form.
    What You can do is
    • Finalize project in iM HD6 - or -
    • Export out as a movie - QT.mov and use this as a template in FinalCut etc and re-build - (doesn't work in iMovie'08 - '13 as it only holds one Video track).

  • Importing a powerpoint presentation into FCE

    I need to import a powerpoint presentation into fce. Can it be done? What does it look like? Do I need to tweak anything to make it the best possible image? Is there any online source available to learn how to do it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. many thanks. Eileen

    Agreed.
    I was stuck continually doing PP Presentations and was so limited in what I was able to do. You will notice that PP on an Apple does allow you to do Quicktime transitions.... anyways.
    I did finally buy Keynote (purchase iWork and it comes with Pages - Microsoft Word equivalent, however, also much better) and you can bring PP into it and do what the before was mentioned.
    I am curious though... is the only reason you want to bring a PP Preso into FCP is so you have it as a movie...? Do you want to also control transitions and animations...? You would be off much easier within Keynote and have much more control as far as exporting as a .mov or .pdf and the likes; Keynote is extensive. But if it is really for stills... you can "Save As..." in PP as JPEG, and PP will kickout each slide (with or without transitions) as single jpeg files (set your resolution high...) and then obviously import the jpegs into FCP, and have still images do things....
    Hope this helps, but truly you are better off with the $99.00 purchase and trump to Keynote - I got my whole office hooked!!

  • 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.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • 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.

  • 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!
    --Carol Gunn

    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.

  • 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

  • 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:

  • 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?

  • Problem with importing a Motion project into FCP if it uses a Boris filter

    Had an odd and highly frustrating experience. Was using a Boris Continuum filter (the posterizing one) on the background of a Motion project (was using it to age a background of a brick wall to age it and give it a more 'nighttime' look).
    When I imported the file into FCP to use as an intro there, the background disappeared entirely. After an hour of troubleshooting, finally figured out that it was the Boris filter that was causing the problem (it also was probably responsible for the random crashing of FCP I was experiencing), as when I disabled the filter and re-saved the project, it worked beautifully.
    Is this a 'normal' problem when using Boris filters? Do I have to export every Motion project into a Quicktime file before importing it to FCP (and possibly DVDSP) if it uses a Boris filter?

    Thanks! Now the frustrating thing is that the client doesn't want to use what I created after all...bah humbug
    It's not the RAM (which is either 8GB or 16....not sure on that computer). Got an e-mail from Boris Support that implied that this will happen all the time...that you have to export all projects before you use them in FCP or DVDSP or the Continuum filters won't work (loved how the support person suggested that I just use the filter in FCP...which defeats the purpose of creating something in Motion! But I digress...) Told me I had to buy a $500 program called Automatic Duck to get things to import properly...and that Boris filters won't work with the latest upgrade of FCP, btw.
