Problem sending timeline from Final Cut to a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project

Hello,
Thank you in advance for reading. I am having trouble sending a timeline from Final Cut to a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project. Final Cut makes a new Soundtrack Pro project file just fine and opens Soundtrack Pro as it's supposed to, but the project in Soundtrack Pro only has a portion of my audio tracks. I've tried sending by control clicking the sequence in the browser and selecting 'Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project' as well as highlighting my entire timeline and doing the same. Both result in the same Soundtrack Pro proejct with about 1/3 of my total 48 audio tracks (lots of sound FX).
I'm using Final Cut 7.0.2 and Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1 My computer is a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8, 2.26 ghz intel core 2 duo, 4 gb ram.
Any suggestions (or workarounds, if it comes to that) anyone has will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again, Gabe

Try building the project to your desktop and then open the Video_TS in the Mac DVD player application.
How does it play/sound? This application is the best way to see and hear how your burned DVD should play vs. just using simulator and burning.
Just to clarify- are you taking your FC QT file into Compressor and creating a MPG-2 and AC3 file or are you bringing your FC QT directly into DSP?
What codec are you exporting from FC? ProRes422, DV, H264?
Open the FC QT in QT and apple+I to see this.
What does it say for audio?

Major Problem with audio from Final Cut to DVd Studio Pro

I am posting this problem again because no further responses have been received regarding my first post. I purchased an MR-HD100 Firestore device from Focus Enhancements. When I use clips from it alone or with other clips created by digitizing from min DV tape on a sequence or timeline the audio works fine in Final Cut. When I import any type of file and believe me I have been trying all kinds of suggestions and wasting almost a dozen DVDs. Whether it be a Final Cut QT file, going straight to compressor and producing an MPEG-2 file and a dolby audio file .ac3 importing them into DVD SP and making the adjustments that MR. Harbsmeier suggested DIAL NORM at -31dbfs and COMPRESSION MODE to NONE, as well as the suggestion to make an aif file with the audio and importing it into DVD SP as well as the video. I get the same result with every try, the clips made with the firestore are so low you cannot hear them. NOTHING WORKS!!!!. And yes I have tried making a DVD with just digitized footage and yes it turned out fine. I called Apple support today and that gentlemen basically told me I am out of warranty so phone help was not available. However, he made a suggestion of changing sequence presets in Final Cut which has now developed into another problem. I have messed up my settings so bad I don't know where I am I can't LOG & CAPTURE in the manner I used to ???? Could someone please advise as to why this problem exists and the correction to resolve it. I do not understand why the audio works fine playing the sequence on the timeline in Final Cut. It plays fine after making a Final Cut QT file. AND it plays fine in simulation mode in DVD Studio Pro. However after you burn a DVD the audio from the firestore clips are not to be heard unless you crank up the speakers or TV to it's maximum level and you can barely make it out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME Projects are stacking up and was really hoping to go tapeless

When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor using local QCluster

When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by way of Share and using the local QCluster, the audio renders, but the video errors out saying something along the lines of Can not locate file.
If I use 'This Computer' it works fine.
What gives?
Fresh install of OS and FCS.
Thanks!

I'm just learning the intricacies of Compressor and Qmaster myself, but I have learned that when you use Qmaster you can not share directly from FCP. You must export a Quicktime movie (reference movie seems to be fine) and input that to Compressor. This is only an issue when using Qmaster, as you've seen.

Converted from Final Cut 7 to Premiere Pro CC

Hello totally awesome community of hard working people who make cool things!
I am converting from Final Cut 7 to Premiere Pro CC. I've been in for 1 day and am impressed that many of the shortcuts are the same.
I have much to learn and am studying every day.
Do you have any recommendations for any great free video tutorial series on this software?
Thanks!
Check out the film I made with Final Cut 7. I'm excited about Premiere Pro CC because it will save me a lot of time!!

Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project - All I get are empty tracks

I have a sequence in Final Cut Pro that has a collection of clips and sequences inside of it. When I right click the sequence in the browser and select Send To -> Soundtrack Pro Multitrack project, it opens STP as it should. When STP opens, though, I have a correct video track, but all of the audio tracks are completely empty.
Am I doing something wrong here?

select the sequence in the browser and then send to STP
make sure the in & out are set correctly on the timeline

Sync problem w/ DVD from Final Cut Pro X

My project is a 2-hour play. I improved the audio in ProTools then dragged it back into FCP. I was able to get the improved audio to sync perfectly with the video (both are 48K), then mute the original audio. I checked the whole 2-hour play for sync. I burned a DVD, played it on my DVD player, and the audio gets ahead of the video around the 30 minute mark and keeps drifting. Several DVD burns yield the same problem. Any advice?

Thanks Russ. OK, I am now rendering again via Compressor 4, this time I have 2 files in one tab - 1) a MPEG-2 and 2) an AC3 file. Seems to make sense.
To burn the DVD immediately after, I added a 'Job Action' to 'Create DVD' after the render, and the dialog confuses me. No problems with the 'Job Action' tab, but the "A/V Attributes" tab indicates the follwing:
Type: Final Cut Pro.app (shouldn't this be a reference to the rendered file/s?)
Video - showing the same dimensions of my FCPx Project file (NTSC ..640 x 480) instead of the MPEG-2 (Pal ...720 x 576).
Audio - Properties show Linear PCM... 6 channels, etc... not the AC3 file.
My question is, how do I create a DVD from the newly rendered files output from Compressor - is the Job Action the way to do it, and if so, how do I get it to reference the new files?
Thanks,
Geoff

Problems Exporting from Final Cut Pro

I am currently attempting to export my FCP video into a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project. A strange thing occurs. It doesn't export my video completely. Dissolves that were in the FCP timeline do not show up in the Sountrack video and some edits from the FCP timeline are either extended or cut short for a considerable number of seconds. Any ideas why this is happening? Any suggestion no matter how small would be appreciated.

Sorry for the confusion, when I export it as a low quality version I use QT conversion, set it to MPEG-4 then I go to options and set the image size, data rate, then I change it so it is supposed to maintain the aspect ratio using letterboxing. When its done exporting it has not maintained the aspect ratio.
The full quality version I just export as a QT movie using current settings, when I do this it goes to about 50% then Final Cut closes.
I hope that makes more sense.

Best Export from Final Cut to PE7?

Hi All,
My client is going to supply me with edited footage from a Final Cut project. What output/file format/specs/etc would best be suited for me to bring it into PE7, based on:
- My preset is HDV, 1080 x 1440
- I am using this preset because of HDV footage I shot and will use in the edit
Thanks, Stan

Let's see if we can break this down.
First do you have FCS 1 or 2?
Second are "sending" to STP or exporting?
If you go to the Browser in FCP and right click the sequence and choose Sent To>Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project, You will get a dialog box to name and safe the Project file. The checkboxes at the bottom of the dialog should (by default) be all checked and "Base layer" chosen. When you click save STP should open.

Color differences when exporting from Final Cut

I have a big problem when exporting from Final cut to any file format. The colors and contrast looks fine in Final cut and on my external monitor but when exporting to, for example, H.264 I get a file that is "washed out". Colors are bleak and the over all feel is not what I expect. The funny thing is that if I import the exported file into Final cut it looks fine. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me out with this?

QT brightens the image. Dunno why...perhaps so that it ensures that every monitor can see it?
Here is an example:
But I don't know why that is.

Problem saving back to Final Cut Pro

I'm sending clips from Final Cut to Soundrack, editing them, saving the changes in STP. But the changes are not reflected in the FCP clips. I re-save in STP, and FCP gives me a signal that media is missing. When I reconnect to the saved STP file, the clip's in and out points are misaligned in FCP. Just in case you are wondering: I've left both programs open for the procedure, they're stored in the same directory, and the sample rate for both is set to 48000 hz. Can anyone help?

sounds like your settings in motion are incorrect re frame size.
if I were using motion to do things I would view "fields" and use field rendering of any project then import the rendered quicktime out of motion and drop that in my FCP sequence. If changes are needed i reopen motion fix the offending parts and output again. FCP renders frames and sometimes panning and zooming can stutter when frame rendered.

Exporting a sequence from Final Cut

I'd like to try mixing my 23 minute film in Soundtrack Pro, but every time I try to send it to SP, it crashes. Can anyone give me some advice? Or is SP not really supposed to be a sweetening tool for Final Cut?

Hi Morgan,
I use Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project from FCP all the time. It should work.
Do you have the latest versions of both FCP and Soundtrack Pro?
If the send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project is running into issues, then you can separate out the steps (involved in the send from FCP to STP) to try to better understand what it going wrong.
In Final Cut Pro, try exporting an XML file (File->Export->XML... -- select XML version 2).
Then in Soundtrack Pro open the XML file.
If either of these steps fail, try looking at the console (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app)--are there any messages that might provide hints about what went wrong (e.g. couldn't write out the file, etc.).
I hope that helps.

Export a file from Final Cut Pro for friend in Soundtrack Pro

I have a video artist who I am helping with audio. At first we just used an omf file that worked great, it's just a pain to get all the levels/automation reset. Is there an easy way to do this with Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro? Thanks a million

Final Cut Pro has an OMF export function: File > Export > Audio to OMF.
There is also: File > Export > For Soundtrack
and: File > Send To > Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project.

Retiming after sending from final cut

I have tried to send a clip to shake from final cut 5.1.4. When I apply a re-time, I lose the edit points and all of a sudden I find I am dealing with the entire captured footage the clip is taken from rather than the clip from the timeline. I know that the roundtripping between final cut and shake is not the smoothest, but this is an all-out problem. Any thoughts?

MIchael Mench has an excellent tutorial about sending to shake for retiming here:
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/menchmichael/slowmotion/video-tutorial.php
It's really worth studying carefully.
A lot of people avoid the "Send to Shake" functionality altogether.
Just export the clip using the same settings, tweak it in Shake,
and import back into FCP.
