Importing a project from Sony Vegas

I'm trying to import a project that was initially edited in Sony Vegas to do audio and color correction in Final Cut. Apart from rendering the project out to an HDV tape, and re-importing it into Final Cut through Log and Capture, what is the best methodology so as to retain the most data for timelines, etc.
We can even go so far as to have the original hard drives, but I just can't fathom how to migrate into final cut.
Suggestions?

The back to tape method sounds good. Otherwise using flip4mac to import an intermediate AVI's is also good.
Does Vegas export EDL's ?

Moving From Sony Vegas

I am moving from Sony Vegas to FCP so I have some Vegas files that I need to render to use in FCP. Can I get some advice on what file type and compression settings I should use to render at?

I have around 15 tapes from my old Pana GS400 (DV PAL 16:9) captured with Vegas and they are AVI files.
I have had no problem using them in FCP 5.14 and FCP 7.
The first time I imported them FCP said something about that they whore not "optimized" or something like that.
I just clicked "don´t show this message again" and all was fine and no need to renderer them.
Cheers

IMovie '09 Won't Import HD Content from Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder

Hi,
iMovie stopped importing HD content from Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder. It only recognizes the standard definition content in the preview thumbnails. Previously this used to work with both a FireWire cable and a Mini USB. All of a sudden it doesn't import HD clips. There's no plugin failure either, because I reinstalled iMovie '09.
System Specifications:
Intel iMac 20" (Late 2008)
Intel Core 2 Duo@ 2.4 GHz.
4 GB RAM
Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
Thanks!

With this camera you must erase the SD clips from the camera before you can import the HD clips.

Opening the .xpj file should just work. Can you provide detailed steps of what you are doing?

Is there a way to import a project from iOS iMovie 2.0 to OSX iMovie 10.0.3?

Is there a way to import a project from iOS iMovie 2.0 to OSX iMovie 10.0.3?
I can get the project file on my MacBook desktop, but can't find a way to import it into iMovie 10.0.3

No you can not.
You can connect USB 3 components to you MB if you wish to use them but will only run at USB 2 specs.

I am trying out Final Cut Pro X and trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9). There is no export to FCPX in iMovie 11 nor is there import from iMovie in FCPX.

Can someone please help me?
I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
Can anyone please enlighten me.

The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
any one can help?

This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
Don't forget to tick the backup box.
Hope this helps. Peter

Transitions don't work after importing a project from Premiere to AE

I've imported a project from Premiere CS3 to AE CS3 and all my transition (fade + wipes) are now solids and they don't work on timeline or on exports, but they still show in my sequence.
How can I make AE use those transition again so I don't have to go through all project and keyframe transitions.
Notice that I use Cineform and that those transition are Cineform's one; hope that doesn't cause the problem since AE uses CF too.
Thnak you for your time and interest in my problem.

Exactly the problem. AE is only to able to translate a few transitions, which include the normal cross-disolve, linear wipe, dip-to-color and a few others, but since those routines are hard-coded in the Premiere Pro Importer, they have no way f doing the same for third-party products. So more or less you will have to rebuild your stuff, either by using the proper transitions in PPro or in AE.

Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto

Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto. with rx1002 no problem! any suggestions?

Every model of a manufacture's camera have a different RAW format and, therefore, you'll have to wait until Apple receives the necessary information from Sony so they can create a RAW Compatibility Updater that includes that model.
In the meantime you can try the Adobe RAW converter with might support that camera model to create a dmg file that iPhoto will recognize and begging shooting the highest resolution jpegs until the updater is released.

Import SAPUI5 project from Eclipse to Appbuilder

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to import a project from Eclipse into Appbilder? I have tried but I can not manage to get it to work. I read somewhere online that Appbuilder only supports HTML view, is that why I can't import my project?
I also tried to create a new eclipse project with HTML view just because I wanted to try to import it...it didn't work though.
I just want to know if it's me doing something wrong or if if it just isn't supported :-)

For your information:
I have searched and come to the conclusion that it is not possible to import projects from other IDE's into AppBuilder.

Does FCP7 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?

Does the new FCP 7.0 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?
Does it need any conversion? If yes, how is the conversion time, and does the conversion degrades image quality?
Thanks in advance.
Desmond

Which sony camera? there are a lot.
Yes, it needs to convert. AVCHD isn't a format that most editing systems deal with natively. You will be converting it to ProRes. The conversion time is dependent on too many factors to give a precise number. Based on computer used, processors, RAM, how much footage, where it will be stored...all of that. The conversion doesn't degrade the image.
Here...I have a workflow tutorial for this: Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial

Can I import a project from laptop which has same file names as existing

Im about to import a project from Aperture on my on-road laptop to my main Aperture library on my studio Mac when i realised that the new camera i purchased for the road trip has named the files exactly the same as some files (but different pictures) which already exist in my studio Mac. Even though they exist in different projects, what will happen if i import the new project into my main Aperture Library?

Hi Sunspeaks;
I just had a similar problem. Since I had my MBP on the trip, we were downloading our photos to Aperture there in projects. When I returned home I discovered we had with photos with the same names but different project names. I was able to import everything into Aperture without any trouble. For my own sanity I did a batch rename to change the photo names in Aperture after the import.

How import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

how import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

LOG AND TRANSFER. I have the full workflow here:
http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
Make sure you are running FCP 7.0.3. That version deals with files from the NX5 the best. If you are on a previous version, like FCP 6....you will need to use CLIPWRAP2 from Divergentmedia.com. As the specific AVCHD format the NX5 uses is something that FCP 6 cannot really deal with.
Gotta love new camera formats.

Importing a project FROM Premiere Pro to FCP - Any alternative to EDL ?

Hi, when I google this issue - trying to get a project from Adobe Premiere Pro (for instance CS4) to Final Cut I am always terribly frustrated to find only references to the fact that APP imports XML (and now in 4.01 with better support for Final Cut Pro XML). But APP only exports EDL, and that is a very limited platform for talking accross the programs. Does any one have a better solution? Is there any external software for converting an APP project into XML? Can anyone hint as to why Adobe doesn't include "export to xml" in the export menu (like Final Cut Pro so elegantly does) other than fear of people taking their projects and running away to Final Cut Pro (which doesn't make any sense at all, and is no way of dealing with users' needs). Because it would seem that they only want us to be able to move stuff from FCP to APP. But what about us, who desperately need to move in the other direction?! Any light on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and a happy 2009.

+I would indeed like to do this test. To what email do I send a zipped file to?+
http://www.automaticduck.com/contact/
+And also, if I may keep bothering you on this issue: Granted that APP projects are XML, still, Final Cut Pro projects and Avid Projects are NOT XML, they can just interact well with certain forms of XML (type 1,2,3 etc, but apparently not prproj), correct? (a curiosity)+
Correct, Final Cut Pro project files and Avid project and bin files are not XML. Final Cut Pro has the ability to export and import XML files that are formatted as XML. XML is a flexible file format, the files can web pages, preference files, document files, just about anything. Apple has defined an XML format that can be used to interchange project data with Final Cut Pro. For a lot of good reasons it doesn't make sense for third parties to write or read FCP project files directly so Apple developed a method to write and read project data through another format. XML is an excellent choice because it is so easy to work with, XML files are simply text, easily read and edited and written. Avid systems use another file format for interchange with other manufacturers, AAF. AAF is not XML.
A lot of editors first heard of "XML" via Final Cut Pro's use of it as an interchange format, so it isn't surprising that these editors equate XML with FCP. It is a bit pedantic of me to drive home the point, but I just want you to clearly understand the issue.
