Importing FCP7 project file into premiere crashes premiere

Hi there,
I am trying to export a fcp 7 project file as an xml file in order to import it into Premiere Pro.   Once I try importing XML into premiere it crashes the program.  I called Adobe and they say there is something wrong with my FCP project.  How can I find out how to fix it?
Thanks,
EllePC

  • Importing MS Project files into P6v7

    As a new user to P6v7, I was attempting to import MS project 2007 files into P6. The file types I have are .MPP type files (converted from 2003 version). The P6 import function dropdown only lists .MPX file types to import from MS Project. I am unable to select any of my existing files to import. Any one have ideas how to change this import setting for P6v7 ?
    Dan

    Hi Dan,
    using MPP-files you need to install a Project 2003 (as I remember right with SP3) and then the P6 Client. Then you will get the option to import also mpp-files.

  • How to import one project file into another project file

    In previous versions I could take an 8 track project file and drag it into another project.  This doesn't work in version 10.  I am playing multi track stems for worship.  I create each song as it's own file then drag them together to create a set.  I don't mix down since I want to be able to add or subtract an instrument based on who may or may not be avaiable that day.  Has this feature been taken out of Version 10?  Can you do this in either Logic or Mainstage?
    Thanks

  • Failure to import fcp7 project's xml into Premiere Pro 2014.  Details below.  Why is it crashing? Any thoughts?

    Here are the details of my problem:
    Premiere Pro 2014 (up to date)
    Mac book Pro OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
    Source footage includes a variation of codecs as follows: H.264 in a .mov container, 1920 x 1080 Apple Pro Res 422, Linear PCM
    There are no error messages, the import into Premiere Pro 2014 begins normally but the "progress bar" never starts and then after about 10 seconds a blank white box appears followed by the pinwheel.
    When the problem occurred I was trying to import a fcp7 project's xml file into Premiere Pro.
    I emailed Adobe Support Tech the fcp7 xml file and it crashed his computer, however, I was able to successfully import one clip from fcp7  (an Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, duration 1 minute) from the fcp 7 project into Premiere Pro, but not the whole project or the bare essentials (the cut itself).
    I am not running other software
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?  Not that I know of...
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU). ??????
    I am using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration
    The problem only happen when I try to import the FCP7 xml project file into Premiere Pro

    Hi Lynn,
    Have you inspected the XML file for any anomalies? That might be a way to see if any third party effects were used.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes when I import CS6 project files

    I recently upgraded to CC, but every time I try to import my project file from Premiere Pro CS6 into Premiere Pro CC it crashes, or stops working if you like.
    This is very irritating as I wanted to make use of the SpeedGrade workflow in the CC packaged between Premiere Pro CC.
    My project file is no longer than 1 minute, however is does contain After Effects CS6 compositions, could this possible cause the crash? I have tried to import without these but it still stops working for some reasons.
    Also I have no idea where to find the error log for crashes on Adobe software.

    I have experienced similar crashes and timeline playback failure when importing a CS6 project into CC or CC 2014. I had to rebuild two projects by hand before I realized it was a bug in CC converting the CS6 project files to CC project files. I don't think this has been addressed yet, but I have had better luck starting projects from scratch in CC, not cross-converting a CS6 project. Although I'm still experiencing issues with multicam projects in CC 2014.
    Curious to hear others chime in on this.

  • Importing project files into Premiere Elements 7

    I have created a new project, imported several video clips and then created a video. It was only at the point of creating the video that I reliased that I had not created the project with the correct settings.
    Although the video looked fine in the editing window, the final video had black bars at the sides, and above above and below the video, and fairly think black bars. I've tried exporting as different formats, and changing the aspect ratio, but this has not helped. I've attached a jpeg of what the video looks like in Quicktime.
    Other video editing software I have used, has the ability to change the project settings after it has been created, and give a warning to the user about possible problems they may encounter by doing so.
    This does not appear to be the case with Adobe Premiere Elements 7, and it is extremely frustrating!!
    One thing which appears to be possible with Premiere Pro, and was also available on other editing software I have used, is the ability to import projects.
    So... does anyone know if it is possible to import a Premiere Elements 7 project file into Premiere Elements 7? The aim here is to create a project with the correct settings, and then import the existing project file into the timeline.
    I've tried hacking the project file, which has improved the video slightly, but still not what I was expecting.
    Cheers

    This problem should have been picked up by Adobe's test analyst during testing of the product.
    I am sorry, but I am not following you on this. There are Presets to match many media types. I am not at all sure how Adobe could anticipate that a user would choose the wrong one.
    As I said, PrPro CS4 will both allow you to Import your .PREL (with the caveats mentioned), and work on the Project with Sequence settings to match. Unfortunately, PrE is a much less sophisticated and expensive program, than is PrPro CS4.
    I'd be happy to Import your file, in PrPro with the proper Presets, but the rub would be that PrE cannot Open .PRPROJ files, so you still could not edit it.
    Sorry, but the first rule of any NLE is to establish Presets that match one's Assets. PrPro CS4 (not before that version) allows one to cover their mistakes a bit, but there is still some work getting the improperly set Sequence's material into a new, properly set Sequence.
    If you have access to PrPro CS4, and can finish your Project there, that would be the best. Next would be to create a New Project with the proper Presets and chalk up the lost time as a learning experience.
    Sorry ot bear the bad news.
    Good luck,

  • CANNOT IMPORT FCP  .XML FILE INTO PREMIERE PRO CS5

    Hi,
    Camera used:-Sony Pmw Ex3
    Footage       :- XDCAM  sp(1440 * 1080i) PAL
    Edited in      :-final cut pro 7
    Error            :- failed  to import .xml file into premiere pro cs5
    I tried  to import the .xml file into premiere CS5 ,it asked for the media files  to relink .whn i linked the .mp4 files it showed the  error messege "The  selected file cannot be linked becouse it has 2 audio channel(s) and  the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s).
    then i tried to relink the .mov instead of .mp4 file (which i  used in final cut pro on apple machine)i got  the error "Codec missing  or unavailable"
    what should i do???..i almost done all the  editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can  finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

    What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
    Good luck,

  • How do i import director 7 files into current premiere pro

    how do i import director 7 files into current premiere pro
    I have a project created in Macromedia Director 7. I was told by sales that this would import into Premere Pro.
    However I have no Idea how! Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
    But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
    I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
    Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
    You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
    Kindly inform us if it works.
    Thank you all.
    Cheers.

  • Can I import Mac alias files into Premiere Pro CC?

    I am trying to keep my folder structure clean and organized, and am using alias files to gather miscellaneous B-roll video files into a new project folder without removing them from their permenant location and without creating duplicates. Alias files on a mac are basically shortcuts to the original file. FCP 7 and FCP X will import these alias files with no problems, but when I try to import them into Premiere Pro, it says they are unsupported file types. Is there any way to make this work?

    Thanks, I was prepared to hear that I would have to make a copy. One note though, is that when i import the alias file into a Final Cut Pro project, it automatically links to the original permanent file location, so if the alias gets deleted, it doesn't matter becuase it is linked to the original.
    To answer your question, though, the idea for using alias files is to keep the server clean, so that multiple video editors don't keep copying the same files multiple times into their project folders when they start a new project, and then no one goes back and cleans it up, so you end up with Terabytes of duplicate files on the server. I guess the other option is to train everyone to hunt for the original files themselves and import from that location instead of their own project folders.

  • How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

    How do I import an MKV file into Premiere Pro CS6?

    Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't support MKV formats. To import MKV to Premiere Pro CS6, a recommended solution is to convert MKV to AVI.
    I've been reading so many different forums on how to convert MKV to AVI. Finally, I summarised three solutions:
    First one: HandBrake . This tool is a free and open-source multi-threaded transcoding app. It supports nearly any videos including MKV format and has Mac version and Windows version.
    Cons:
    1. HandBrake is too professional to handle for most people;
    2. It doesn't support MOV as output format.
    Second one: there are many third party software which supports converting MKV to AVI. I just test one of them. It's professional yet easy to use and the service is excellent. And there is a step by step guide about how to use this tool .
    Cons:
    1. Most of them are not free.
    Third one: Online-Converter . This kind of converter does a great job on file conversion.
    Cons:
    1. Like most online converters, the free version of this tool only allows you to convert videos smaller than 100MB. It's too small for video conversion;
    2.Your MKV video should be upload to the internet to be converted. This means the risk of pravite information leak is possible.

  • How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

    For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
    Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
    Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
    Please any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How can I import a .AVI file into my project?

    I want to import a .AVI file into my video project but Final Cut Pro will not import it. Final Cut says the file is not recognized but it plays with Quicktime.

    DJ OZA,
    Do you get the warning "Media files are not optimized for FCP. Either recapture the media or use Media Manager to crate new copies of the files to improve performance for multi-stream playback."?
    What does this mean?
    I can import and edit the files no problem either, except for that waring, which concerns me.
    It means you will not be able to use the multiclip feature with these files because your Macintosh is working very hard to decode them on the fly. More than one stream will choke your machine.
    Your AVIs are visible in FCP because you happen to have acquired an AVI file that uses a codec you have available on your machine.
    AVI isn't even supported by Microsoft; it's been a totally concatenated delivery wrapper for more than a decade. It only survives because of entrenchment.
    Use Get INfo on one of your AVI clips, figure out what codec was used, use Google to find out what you can about the codec, and decide how you want to proceed. You want to determine what your output is going to be and work backwards from that decision. For instance, if you're going to distribute a standard MPEG2 DVD, you want to edit using conventional DV. Transcode you AVI files to DV using Compressor.
    Your easiest solution will be to edit on a PC that does handles the AVI natively or to contact whoever gae you the files and demand they provide you with clips you can edit on a Macintosh.

  • Imported a .psd file into project - why showing up as a sequence?

    hi everyone
    i successfully imported a photoshop file into a project recently, after help from you, and it ended up working fine. I adjusted the size and placement in the viewer and got what i wanted.
    i have tried to do it again, with a different photoshop file, however this time when i import it into the browser it appears with a sequence icon, rather than clip icon. so when i double click to open it up and adjust - it opens a new dedicated timeline rather than in the viewer - i THOUGHT i'd done everything the same - but i guess not.
    what did i do different?
    thanks
    hugh

    Its a feature! Not a bug. By importing a .psd file you can play with the layers in FCP. Apply motion features to a layer, fade the layers on and off at different times, or just change the opacity to suit your background. I know several people that create all their lower thirds for a show in one .psd file and then change the info by turning on and off the different layers. The advantage is you can easily maintain control and placement of your graphics. Like the previous responder I personally don't like .psd's in my timeline. I prefer .pict. Probably because when I started editing it was the only choice on a Mac and it allows for an alpha channel. Using alpha or matte channels make the best keys.
