Importing TIFF into FCP project

Hi everybody,
I am importing Tiff into a FCP project.
I have all my clips listed in the order they were shot to go into the FCP project.
If I select more than one at a time to import within FCP, the Tiff are put in any order.
Would anyone know if there any way to import more than one TIFF at a time in such a way they appear in FCP in the order they were created ?
Thanks in advance
Bernard

The numbering works, just keep in mind - as Jim noted earlier - you must have the same number of digits in each name. Sequences of less than 99 should use 2 digits (01-99), over 100 but less than 999 = 3 digits (001-999) , over 999 but less than 9999= 4 digits (0001-9999) and so on.
Why is this? Try this experiment, name a series of files in the sequence of 1,2,5,11, 21,101 When you import that into FCP, it will be ordered: 1,11,101,2,21,5.
However, if you name them 001, 002, 005, 011, 021, 101 they will order themselves as you would expect.
I don't know how you are acquiring the images, but some scanning software allows you set up a common name + sequence number and automatically increment it after each scan. This can be a great timesaver.
have fun.

  • Can't import Media into FCP X

    In the last week or two when I try to import media into FCP X I end up with a very dark and locked import screen.  The only way I can recover is to force quit FCP X.  It doesn't always happen but it is getting more and more frequent.
    I have not updated to Marverik and I'm running the latest version of FCP X on the same iMac I have used since installation.
    Any suggestions beacuse it really is starting to beome very, very frustrating.
    Thanks

    They system is hanging up, waiting on some command to finish, which is not able to.  So let's look at ways to fix this.  Becasue you never want to do an upgrade to fix problems.  Only upgrade a proerly working system.  Otherwise, you may just be hauling old problems into a new envoronment, and making things worse.  I've seen it a lot over the years.
    First, verify that all of your drives have at least 15% of their total capacity as free space.  Not enough free space on any dirve can cause similar odd behaviors.
    Second, you need to do some housee cleaning.  Start by downloading and running the free application "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com).  Use it to trash the FCPX preference files.  It is easy and safe to you.  None of your media or projects will be touched.  After that, run Disk Utility to "Repair" all of your drives (ignore "Verify", total waste of time).
    If none of that helps, I'd recommand you download the free application "FCS Remover" from Digital Rebellion.  Use it to uninstall FCPX.  Some folks say to just move the app from the Applications folder to the Trash.  That leaves a bunch of other files hanging around that could be bad.  Use this app.  Once you've uninstalled FCPX, launch the App Store, go to the Purchases section, and FCPX will have an "Install" button.  Reinstall a fresh copy, see if that helps.

  • Aspect ratio importing DV into FCP X

    Can someone explain how DV format works (I think I understand this) and how importing DV into FCP X works (I definitely don't understand).
    I have some old PAL DV files which I want to compress using Compressor, with the aim of later importing them into FCP X. I can compress them in one of two ways: compressing to 720x576 with the standard PAL aspect ratio, so they appear (eg. in QuickTime Player) as 768x576. Let's call this 'Old Style'. Or, I can compress them so they have square pixels, and genuinely are at 768x576. ('Square pixels').
    Both display using QTP7 as 768x576, but Square Pixels is compressed slightly so there is more of the picture visible at left and right of the screen. Objects in the image are therefore thinner left-to-right than in Old Style.
    Now, if I import them into FCP X, in the event browser Square Pixels still displays as 768x576 and looks just as it does in QTP. But Old Style is now wider than 768x576 and has the extra bit of picture that Square Pixels displays. So they're both displaying the same image, but Square Pixels has it compressed to fit into 768x576, whereas Old Style has it wider, and consequently people are fatter left-to-right.
    When I import these events into a project, things change again. Old Style appears exactly as it does in the event browser (ie. about 786x576, with the whole image displayed). Square Pixels stretches the image north-south, and this means that part of the top and bottom of the image are chopped off.
    What is going on? Is there a website which can explain this clearly? Which is the better format for me to compress my video into?
    Cheers,

    FCP X 10.1.2
    Compressor 4.1.2

    I don't understand your question?
    DV footage on DV or mini-DV tapes is  already digitised  .  .  .  .  hence the name DV or Digital Video.
    If you have a DV camera or deck you can plug it into your Mac via FireWire and import the footage straight into FCP X.

  • Imported clips into FCP 10.1.3 contain no audio in Yosemite...

    I am running FCP 10.1.3 on a mid 2012 15" MBP Retina with the following specs...
    2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    Ever since I updated to the public beta of Yosemite, when I import clips into FCP X I get the clip but my audio is no longer attached. I assumed this was an issue with the beta and that it would be resolved in the actual release but alas, that is not the case. Does anybody have any experience with this or could anyone point me in a direction. Much appreciated.

    Here is the requested screen shot. In the events list, you will see the clips have no waveforms. In the inspector, you can see that Audio is not even an option and in the Project Timeline, you will see that there is no Waveform present. This clip has audio attached. The source media is irrelevant as this happens with screen capture clips or with clips I've shot with 3 different cameras. If I check the source file, in finder or in the camera the audio is present. This only started happening when I upgraded to Yosemite.

  • 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.

  • Importing Flash into FCP

    I have Flash Pro 8 and FCP Pro HD and am still trying to learn both.
    Can I create a piece in Flash and import it into FCP? If I need to upgrade FCP, I will - I just need to know if it's possible, and how to do it.
    thanks a lot.
    j.

    On a related question, I have a number of flash animations for a client, a comic, and the movie is in 5 parts...I have the latest version of FCP and of Flash, and I am having a lot of problems exporting to quicktime and importing to FCP. I have tried export movie>quicktime and quicktime movie, with a variety of codecs (animation, motion graphics, DV), and every time some tweens(individual) are dropped, and some sounds from the flash movie. There must be a way to just clone what I can see in my swf into FCP? If anyone knows how, please help.
    (and please, dont tell me to learn the apps as I have a professional level knowledge of both.)

  • Understanding File Import Images VS File Import Folders into a Project

    Hello,
    When I select the "File>Import>Images" command, images go straight into my project, no album is created.
    When when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder containing subfolders, it will map the folder to a Project and subfolders to albums. OK.
    However, when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder with NO subfolders, images are put in an Album anyway. Why is that?
    Is it possible to avoid the creation of an album and have images straight in the Project?
    Thanks,

    You're right. Me alone is nothing. But if a high % of A2 users think like me, then maybe this feature needs some polishing.
    The REALLY simple work around is to delete the album. The images won't go with it, and it's faster than retyping the name.
    Good, that's the workaround I needed. For some reasons I was under the impression that deleting the album would delete the the images as well. I guess I'm still not used to that project-album concept.
    You could hit Command + Delete on a hundred Projects and do less work than you've done on this one thread.

  • Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import. Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

    Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import.
    Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

    It is working for me.  Two ways to import into an existing project:
    Select a project and view it in the browser in split view. If you drag image files from a folder directly into the filmstrip, the dragged image files will be added to that project.
    Or select a project in the library, before you open the Import panel. Then you can switch the destination project in the Import Settings  from "new Project" to the selected project.
    Have you tried these methods? Where does it not work for you?

  • Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names

    Can you Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names in the event original media folder? in version 10.0.8 it automatically allocates date / time of the event. I need it to keep the original clip name i:e Clip0100 event folder original media Clip0100. I am aware you can change the clip name to original once in FCP X, But it's the event folder original media name which I want to remain as the original file name.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the response.
    I am aware you can do this change in the Info inspector so the original clip name from camera is used in the event library browser, but it does not change the clip name in the Final Cut Events Original Mieda file. This still remains as an event clip name "2013-05-23 17_08_13". I need the original clip name Clip0100 to remain as Clip0100 at import. FCP X doesn't seem to allow this happen any more in version 10.0.8.
    Cheers

  • Audio-yes, Video-no (totally black) when importing .mov into FCP X, please help!

    Hello
    I am trying to import some .mov files into Final Cut Pro X. The files were originally .RTS, shot from a Canon XHA1 in 1080i, I converted them to .mov using SmartConverter and they play absolutely fine in Quicktime. However, when I import them into FCP X, the audio plays fine, but the video just shows a black screen. The codecs of the .mov files are standard H.264/AAC. My other .mov files (from the same camera that were shot in 1080p instead of 1080i) import fine into FCP.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Laura.

    Here's a print screen of the smart converter..

  • Importing jpg into FCP

    Hi,
    I've never had problems with importing jpg's before into fcp, but I was given a large group of photos and I imported them into fcp, looked at them in the viewer and they were fine. However, when i dragged them into the timeline, they came up distorted in the canvas. What is going on here? The other jpgs from other sources still work fine in my canvas.
    Matt

    Here are the answers to you questions:
    what are the pixel aspect ratios of the jpegs?
    988x1500
    are they square pixels?
    i don't know whether they are square or not.
    Have you rendered the timeline?
    Yes I rendered the timeline
    best wishes

  • Importing Quicktimes into FCP

    I am importing an uncompressed quicktime movie done on FCP version 5 at 24 FPS into version 4.5 ,I brought it into a sequence 29.97 rendered out fine but found the picture stretched. Is there a setting I have to select in quicktime before importing it into FCP or is there a setting I forgot in FCP.

    Is the image stretched virtically? People very thin? Then it is ANAMORPHIC footage. In the Browser scroll to the right and look for the ANAMORPHIC column. Put a check mark in that column next to the clip and you should be set.

  • Have updated to yosemite and now can't import tiffs into illustrator

    Have updated to yosemite and now can't import tiffs into illustrator. Help!

    sued,
    It is known that there are CS4/Yosemite issues.
    For your issue, you may try to save your TIFF as a Photoshop .eps file and import that.
    Or a rollback to Mavericks.

  • Importing stills into FCP 7 ( and why Im seeing interlacing) HELP!

    I have just started a new project in FCP7 and I am importing stills from photoshop (tiffs) Its for the opening sequence and they need to move as in key framing.I notice that when I view them on my monitor at 100% I see a jagged line as in interlacing. My questions are...
    1. What size do I import the stills (Im working in HD and my footage later will be PAL)
    2.How do I remove the interlacing...I tried de-interlacing but the images blur too much)
    3.These stills are illustration images not photos and have very hard edges
    Im a little new to all this....Someone told me to change my settings to proggresive (how and where do I do this?)
    Any help would be great....Im good at making the film I just such at the technical stuff...thanks in advance..philip

    Hard to give an answer without some background. Decisions about sequence settings depend on what yours or your client's objectives are for the movie. Where and how is it going to be shown? What other kinds of material will be edited into the movie? Has it been shot yet? Will it all be from the same kind of camera – or in a common format?
    Whatever the answers to those questions leads you, select the easy setup that comes the closest to what you need. Take a video clip that has been shot at the desired format and make that the first thing that you edit into your timeline, If FCP asks you whether you want to have the sequence match the clip, say yes.
    FCP has to turn whatever stills you give it into clips. If they are too large and there are too many of them your editing experience can be a real chore. If there are no keyframed moves, bring them into FCP the same size as your sequence resolution. For those that are keyframed, re-sizing in PS to about 150% is a good choice. Avoid going over 4K on either axis.
    Undoubtedly, they'll look better – especially with keyframed moves – if they're in a progressive sequence. If you need your movie to be interlaced, wait until you export it and are able to judge it however you intend to display it (Web, TV, projector, whatever). If you then decide it needs de-interlacing, do that in Compressor (or maybe JES De-interlacer).
    Good luck.
