Importing FCE 2.03 PROJECT into FCP HD 4.5

Hi All.
I have a small project edited in Final Cut Express on my laptop. I wish to import it onto my new shiney G5 DUAL on which I have FCP HD 4.5. I am not using the HD selection, the FCE project is just standard digital imported files.
Can any kind soul offer any guidance.
Happy Easter to you all from sunny Ireland.

Hi . Tried to import the files into FCP but kept getting error message saying incorrect file. Will put the easter eggs down and have a real go at it tomorrow.
Thanks ..... Mick

  • Importing Final Cut Express project into FCP

    I have just updated frpm FCE to FCP and have a project that I would like to import from FCE to FCP. Can anyone tell me how to do this.
    I can't find instructions in the manual.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Just ctrl-click it and select "Open With...", then choose FCP.
    Beware, however, that you cannot open it in FCE once you've brought it in.

  • Importing a matted Motion project into FCP

    I did a bunch of work on a shot in motion, maskes, etc.
    The shot was greenscreened so I use Primatte to Key in motion.
    When I try to import this motion file in FCP for coloring it does not display correctly. I'm sure it has to do with the Key. I regularly move projects back and forth with no issues.
    Is there some different I need to do to deal with the Alpha channel, or is it not possible?
    Thanks
    steve

    I think I am viewing only the alpha channel when imported to FCP. It has a light blue hue - as if I was was looking at a channel view in Photoshop.
    Also, I created multiple layers in Motion as I did masks. I believe only the top mask is translating. Very weird.
    Must be a setting somewhere.
    Thanks

    Hi -
    Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
    If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
    In FCP:
    Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
    Close FCP and open iMovie.
    In iMovie:
    Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
    Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
    Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that  the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels

    I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that  the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels.  Any easy solution?
    Steps:
    1. I finished an Aperture 2 (Two) book project and tried to submit it to Apple for printing. At that point I learned (belatedly, obviously) that Apple no longer accepts books from Aperture 2. I don't know how I would have known to even ask if Aperture 2 had been sunsetted as far as book projects go.
    2. So I tried to download Aperture 3 ($79.99), only to be told that I couldn't download Aperture 3.5.1 because I was still running OSX 10.8.x. So I read current reviews for OSX 10.9.x, and ...
    3. Downloaded and installed the current operating system (about a 3-hours process for me).  OSX 10.9.2, here we are!
    4. Then I returned to the Apple Store, found, and purchased Aperture 3.  [For safety's sake, it would sure be nice to have a .dmg file I could copy and file away.  I lost a perfectly legal and good copy of Adobe's Photoshop Elements 3 years ago because I wasn't smart enough to make a safety copy, and when my iMac crashed (fried electronic components), I was left with a copy of the software that wouldn't run, and couldn't be verified as legit.]
    5. When Aperture 3 finished installing, I found and imported my COMPLETED Aperture 2 book project, which import seemed to proceed nominally -- the right number of pages, the right content on those pages, that sort of thing -- until I started looking more carefully at the pictures themselves.  All of them, about 300 of them, have been imported into an Aperture 3 book project in such a reduced resolution that they are fuzzy at the size the book will be printed.  Screen-capture of just one example (at 100% viewer setting):
    I don't know what to do at this point to correct the problem, short of going through the entire book project, copy the custom captions (since those go away when you "delete" photo content), delete the photo, re-insert the photo, and paste back the custom caption.  Lather, rinse, repeat - ~300 times!  An estimated 2-3 hours of additional work.
    Or does anyone in this community know either (1) that I did something wrong in the Aperture 2-to-Aperture 3 import (I don't recall being offered any options or choices in the process); or (2) that there is a wholesale one-step solution to my problem?
    BTW, I tried to edit my "Product" info, but OSX 10.9.x is not in the pick list.  I am running OSX 10.9.2
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

  • Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

    Hi,
    I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
    I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
    PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
    The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
    parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
    Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
    Thanks.

    Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

  • Import a Premiere CS3 Project into Premiere Elements 7.

    Is it possible (or NOT) import a Premiere CS3 Project into Premiere Elements 7?
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    It is only possible to open some PrE Projects into the right version of PrPro, but will not work the other way around. The error message that you will get is "This Project was created in Adobe PrPro and you need to open it in that program."
    Even going the PrE to PrPro route is filled with potholes. I can open some PrE 4 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but not all - depends on what was done. Later versions of PrE will not open in PrPro 2.0, but some have opened in CS3 and CS4, though much can keep one from being able to do that.
    Sorry for the bad news,

  • How do i import an iMovie 08 project into Imovie 11?

    How do i import an iMovie 08 project into Imovie 11?

    I don't still have iMovie 08, but this method works in iMovie 11.
    Go to...Home, movies, iMovie projects, find the project you want and right click and click "show package contents".
    That will show a movie file and some other files. Drag the file to the desktop and rename it .mp4.
    then go to iMovie, import, navigate to the mp4 file on your desktop and it will let you import to the events section and then you can add it to your movie.
    Takes a lot longer to describe than to do. The quality seems to be preserved though I don't know if titles etc get transferred over, kind of doubt it.

  • Trouble Import Flash Builder 4 project into Flash Builder 4.5

    Hi,
    I have quite a lot of Flash Builder 4 Air project which I would like to convert all of them into Flash Builder 4.5 project. However, after I tried to import it into 4.5, the project got error and saying that "application descriptor not found".
    I am posting it here because I believe it is due to improper import of the air project into 4.5. Flash Builder 4.5 should be intelligent enough to solve the problem when converting the project. Hope there will be a fix for it soon
    Btw, how can I manually solve this problem so that I can get all my previous projects run on 4.5? Thanks.

    Hi Yue,
    I'm sorry you're running into problems with Flash Builder.  Would you mind reposting this over on the Flash Builder forums?  You'll probably have better luck over there.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Its possible import a After effect projects into Motion 5?

    hi guys
    its possible import a After effect projects into Motion 5?

    No you can't do that. Unless AfterEffects can export some sort of XML, even then I doubt everything would be translated. One way is to export layers
    you know won't change as movies and import them into Motion. Then just recreate the layers that you need to change.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    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 Flip and iPhone clips into FCP

    What is FCP's preferred video format?
    I have a funky project consisting of clips from iPhone and a Flip Mino HD camera. When either of these are imported directly into FCP, they won't play without rendering, and any edit or trim "undoes" the render, forcing them to be rendered again... and again...
    I'm guessing the best strategy is to convert them -- before importing -- to a format that FCP will like better and will play smoothly, without constant re-rendering.
    So: what's the best format to convert them into, and what's the best tool for doing that pre-conversion?
    Or am I wrong, and is there a way to handle these Flip and iPhone clips in FCP without pre-converting them?

    Okay, that seemed to work. Thanks!
    But now there's a new, odd problem: I can't add transitions! After dropping these new clips in the timeline, they play fine without rendering... but whenever I try to add a transition (dissolve, wipe, etc.) between clips, FCP changes the 1 second transition to a 3 frame transition. And there doesn't seem to be any way to change the duration - no matter what I do, it keeps changing back to one frame. Strangely, I can add the normal transition to the end of the sequence, but not between clips.
    Am I missing something? Does the DVCPRO50 progressive format somehow prohibit modifications like transitions?
    (And should I start this as a new topic?)

  • Can't import LIVE TYPE files .ipr into FCP -  FILE ERROR: UNKOWN FILE.

    I have had this problem for a while and simply just worked around it. But now I am editing so much more that I want it the way it use to be.
    The Problem is FCP 6 will not let me import LIVE TYPE files. I have to render them into an .mov 1st in livetype. I use to be able to just drag the file into FCP and render it there after I tweeked it. Now it won't, it gives me this error- FILE ERROR: Unknown File.
    I have already uninstalled Live type along with its PLIST as well as FCP. Re installed and still keep getting the same error. I can't remember when it started, all I know is I want it fixed.
    Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer.

    What are the Project Properties settings? do they match the Sequence setting in FCP?
    What elements are used in your LiveType composition?
    Are you including images or background video?
    If so, post the codec that the video uses. If there are images, the file type and color space.

  • Import package from one project into another

    Hello everyone,
    I have some projects.
    An enterprise and war project created in netbeans.
    I would like to use some files from one project to another. when I import
    the package I get the error-
    'package x does not exist'
    I have added the package to the project but I still get the error.
    I have also added the project to import to my glasspath but still.
    E.g.
    set classpath
    .;c:\enterpriseA;
    My next idea is to create a war project into my enterprise project and copy the files
    from the war project into it in order to use it. But I'm sure there is a better way.
    THanking you in advance.

    Edited by: evepokua on Nov 22, 2009 1:44 PM

    One mistake I keep making is that I don't add the package to the
    Dependencies of the plugin I'm writing. You have to go to plugin.xml,
    and add the package you depend on to the Dependencies section. Maybe you
    didn't do this?
