Importing AVCHD from Final Cut Camera Archive

I am trying to import some additional footage that I shot with my Panasonic HD camera. Clips are stored in a Final Cut Camera Archive. When I open the Archive in the Import window I can see all the clips and they even preview in the window, but when I select the one(s) I want and get the import dialog box, after selecting import nothing happens.

Thank you. They were already in an Event folder. Didn't realize that FCPX screens for duplicate entries.

TS2179 import files from final cut express to idvd

Import files from final cut express to idvd. When we are making a dvd in iDVD importing the files (widescreen mov files ) from final cut express they automatically change to 4x3. They look correct when played in the quicktime player. Has anyone had this problem.

Generally, I just drag the DV file from the finder to the iDVD menu window. Make sure you don't drag it to any Drop Zones, I think that might be your problem with the DV file showing up as the background. If you have default settings in iDVD, this drag and drop should then create submenus based on your chapter markers.
I'm not sure if you have any issues with the Chapters not showing up in QT. If you're expecting them to show up, then make sure that when you do the Export to QT that the option to include Chapter Markers is set. Upon conversion, you should see the Chapters within QT as well as when imported into iDVD.
Hope this helps!

Best Way to import items from final cut pro

I have recently edited a video in final cut pro studio 1 and them compressed the file for dvd studio. However when i came to look for my file it was as a quicktime movie that dvd studio could not see. ie when i came to locate the file i dvd studio it did not show up when other files had. I tried rebooting the program but alas it still could not find it.
Can someone tell me a better way or what i have done wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Andrews

Best way is to export from Final Cut (either self contained or to Compressor) and then encode the video to m2v (using Compressor or other encoder) and audio to AC3 then bring those files into DVD SP

As to why the file is not being seen, are you sure you exported to the path you are looking at? Just try exporting to the desktop to make sure you know where it is.
If you have more details on the workflow it will help (such as how you exported, where to, what types of files, etc.)

Importing file from final cut express to final cut pro

Hello, I am taking a video I have been working on from final cut express and opening it into final cut pro on another machine. It brings footage over but completely incorrect. I am editing a music video and its basically taking the files and putting them out of sequence etc. When I first open up final cut pro it will say do you want to update this video to the new version which I expected to which I respond yes but its jacked up after that. Any suggestions?

Logic crashing when importing OMF from Final Cut

Greetings, an editor of a 20 minute short film exported a 16 bit 48 k OMF from Final Cut Pro that I imported no problem in Logic Pro 7.2.
Then, he made some new cuts to the video so he exported a new OMF at 48 k, 24 bit ... this did not import properly. Logic kept "unexpectedly" crashing when importing the composition part of the OMF, every time crashing on one specific file.
So, he exported another OMF at 48 k, 16 bit (because we thought it was a problem with 24 bit) but the same thing keeps happening .. I absolutely cannot import these new OMFs, they keep crashing Logic while importing the composition aspect of the OMF at one specific file ... but, I can still import the original OMF ... there is something wrong with the new OMFs I think ..
Does this sound familiar to anyone? is there something wrong with the way he may be exporting the OMF from Final Cut? .. any suggestions or work arounds would be incredibly appreciated ...

Probably the editor is using sounds with mixed sample rates in the new OMF !

What is the correct way to import AVCHD into Final Cut Express?

The Final Cut Expres user manual (p. 221) says to import AVCHD footage with HDV Apple Intermediate Codec: "Important: Use the HDV - Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setup for ingesting AVCHD footage."
But, Easy Setup has options for both HDV AIC AND AVCHD AIC. Why are there choices for AVCHD if the manual says to import AVCHD with HDV?

The manual is incorrect/human error/typo.
HDV and AVCHD do share the Apple Intermediate Codec as all this incoming footage will be converted to AIC so FCE can work with it on a frame by frame basis.
Call up the FCE>Easy Setups and look at the options.
You will notice 6 options (FCE 4.0.1) for 1080i with differing frame sizes and frame rates.
Only ONE of these is correct for the type of footage to be captured/ingested from the camera.
You need to know what the camera settings are, then output to FCE with an exact matching Easy Setup.
These days one camera can be set to different options making this decision one based on knowing how to operate the camera menu and select the right options.
When an FCE Easy Setup is changed only NEW Sequences will reflect the change not existing ones. In fact, in many cases, if the Easy Setup and incoming footage don't match it simply won't work causing the user to curse the Apple software.
First step is to select the correct Easy Setup then capture/ingest.
For AVCHD it will be an AVCHD - Apple Intermediate Codec........................
Example:
Camera has shot AVCHD 1920x1080i50
Easy Setup will be AVCHD - Apple Intermedaite Codec 1920x1080i50
The above example is for PAL interlaced, that's what i50 means.
NOTE: FCE will not work directly with p (progressive) footage so make sure your camera shoots i (interlaced).

Import movie from final cut pro x in pinnacle studio ?

today i make movies with pinnacle studio (windows)
i have pc with blu ray burner in pc (built in)
i would like to buy mac with final cut pro x
is it possible to make movie (high definition) in finacl cut pro x and export to a format which can be imported in pinnacle studio (version 14) without loss of quality
then i would like to burn blu ray on my pc with pinnacle studio
so : make movie with mac and burn HD movie on pc ?

It'd be easier to get Toast 11 Pro and author/burn Blu Ray on your Mac.
BUT, that's extra money you may not want to spend.
Pinnecle, does it import XML files? Well, that may not work anyway.
You'll have to export a QT movie in FCP X that Pinnacle will read.

Cannot import .fcpxml from Final Cut Pro X to Premier Pro 6 ...'file format not supported'?

I've exported a project from FCPX into a .fcpxml. Upon trying to import it in Premier Pro 6, an error appears 'file format not supported'. I have searched for possible solutions, but everything I've found is related to FCP 7. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi Kevin!
Thanks for your response.
The codec is actually MPEG-2 -- so it's not a ProRes codec.
Other information:
HDV1080i60; 29.97 fps; 48Hz, 1440x1080 resolution
Any ideas for us?
Thanks for responding so quickly ~
Jessica
Hi Jessica,
That is a stickier case.
You can purchase the Calibrated {Q} plug-in to fill that gap. It might be wise to contact them and see if you can get an educational or volume discount.
The no-cost solution is a bit more labor intensive: transcode the footage to a friendlier codec prior via the FCP Media Manager prior to the students leaving the program.

Importing markers from Final Cut Pro 7

Hello
I have markers set in FCP7 on a sequence. I want to export that sequence as a Quicktime and import it into AE. How can I import these markers into AE CS4 with my movie?
Thanks
-------------S

Not at all. Sorry, this is beyond what AE is capable of. You may however have some luck exporting an FCP XML to Premiere, then import from there in AE. You will have to split at the markers, though. AE doesn't read PPro markers, either.

Retrieving imported AVCHD files from Final Cut Pro X

Hi there, does anyone know how to retrieve raw AVCHD clips from Final Cut Pro X, after they have been imported? I shot some footage on my GH2 and it DID import from the camera into FCP X, but it's not running smooth at all. I heard that it's better to convert the files into pro res first, but I wanted to see if it worked. It does work, but not very well. So now I want to find the original video files I imported and convert them into pro res and then import again. Anyone had experience with this?

I think it all comes back to work flow. The whole reason I have opted to convert the original files to pro res is because it is choppy in the timeline when I'm editing. It seems it's true that FCP X really prefers to work with 'optimized media'...or Pro Res instead of reformatted versions of AVCHD. I would like to work with this original format, mainl because the footage isn't as compressed and hasn't lost a generation...and look absolutely pure and gorgeous in high bit rate from my GH2, however, what choice do I have but to convert to Pro Res if I am unable to edit smoothly? I think Ian had the right idea when he said to compare the footage of both, but again, if I can't even edit in AVCHD then what's the point? I think Apple needs to rectify this in the next update as I'm sure there are so many users out there who would prefer editing in this original format. Is there a noticeable loss of quality, that's what I am curious about.

Is it possible to export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera

Hi,
Recently i buy on 27inch iMac with Final Cut Pro X installed.
Also I buy Thunder bolt to firewire adapter & firewire cable from Apple.
Now i am abel to capture my video from DSR-PD175 mini DV camera to FCP X.
How can i export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera?
Please advise....
Thanks & Regds

II'm afraid not.
Not digitally anyway. Maybe by going to a monitor that has analoh AV output to the camera.
Probably Premiere. Or old FCP7.

Importing FCP Hi Rez from Final Cut with Encore Destination

I wonder if i could get some advise and comment on trying to get the best Blu Ray encode from Final Cut.
What I have done is this:
I have imported a 60 minute Quicktime FCP file into Premier CS4. (The file was imported as HDV video from a Canon XHA1 and converted in FCP to 422Hi Rez). I set Premier to HDV and not Quicktime before the import. When the import finished, I notice that playback was very jerky, so I rendered the whole time line. This took about 5 hours. Following this, play back was perfect.
So, what should my settings have been initially....might I have not set everything correctly. What settings should I have set initially?
(I have not figured out how to export a sequence directly from FCP which 4.01 is supposed to do.)
Now that it is play fine in Premier CS4 4.01, I am planning to use the dynamic link system to export into Encore CS4 .01 . But before I do so, do I have to fill out copyright info in Premier...I noticed an area for this?
I chose this work flow because I did not want to use the FCP's Compressor for make a Blu Ray. I want to use Encore's H264 compression which produces a smaller file and thus less disc space. I do understand that I could have left out Premier altogether and gone directly from Compressor to Encore, but then I would not have had the H264 choice..;is this right...I am not entirely au fait with all the terms:)
So far, no crashes or weird behaviour. I am on a MacPro Quad Core 2 Porcessor 2.8 GHZ processor.
Tim

Thanks for the advice. I now have the project in Encore. While it played perfectly in Premiere, it cannot do so in Encore. Maybe this is because I have the settings set to the highest resolution- 1920 x 1080 and Blu Ray NTSC. I am trying to set up chapters and it is very jerky trying to get to the right place. Shou/ld I be doing this at a lower resolution and then changing things at the end?
Also I currently have DVD Transcode set to automatic and Blu-ray Transcode set to Automatic.
Are these settings going to look at the best on a 54" Samsung HDTV 1080i ? I notice a whole slew of choices in the drop down!!
I am ploughing through the Lynda.com tutorials, but some of these questions don't seem to be answered there.
I am planning on saving things to hard drive so I can test before burning...is this feasible on a mac?

Exporting AVCHD to mp4 from final cut for uploading to youtube (apple prores, .MOV, h264, x264, handbrake)

Hello everybody,
I Edit 1920x1080 AVCHD in Final Cut 7. Working with apple prores to export video to mp4 and then upload it to youtube. The goal is obviously the least quality loss in the process and to get a file as light as possible. Which of these three options is correct?
1. Export to mp4 from Final Cut (using quicktime conversion): h264 codec and bitrate 8000 kbps.
2. Export to .MOV from Final Cut (using quicktime conversion): h264 codec. Then, use handbrake (mp4 / x264 ).
3. Export apple prores sequence to. MOV from Final Cut (using quicktime movie). Then, use handbrake program (mp4 / X264 codec)
thanks a lot!

One friend told me dont choose none of the three options...
Told me about exporting a reference movie from timeline and then take the reference file into compressor.
I finally took the reference file and took him to compressor. I installed x264 and got one .mov very heavy, so I had to use the handbrake to get less weight and get mp4.
I did the same operation in streamclip and got a mp4 file (x264) with same size than .mov (compressor). So in both cases, if I want the less size I have to go on 2 steps (first compressor or streamclip and then handbrake ..)
any more suggestions? :-)

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.
