PROBLEM SOLVED "export clips from Color back into FCP & add transition"

If I have two clips that you cannot place a transition in between here is the only thing that worked for me.
I discovered this problem after I exported my movie clips from FCP 6 to Color and imported the color corrected files from Color back into FCP 6. I could no longer add transitions to any of my clips unless I made the following changes.
1. 1st check to see if the video clip has an audio track underneath it. If they are not linked Select the audio and the video track to be linked, hit Command "L" and you will see an underline under the audio and video name to show that they are now linked. Do the same for the adjoining video and audio track.
2. Next select all of the clips after the video clip you just selected by typing "tttt" this changes to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool". Click on the track after the video track you just linked and it will select all of the tracks thereafter. Hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and move all of the selected tracks away from the previous video/audio track.
3. Next type "RR" this will change to the "Ripple" tool. Now click on end of the video track on the previous video clip and type -15 (for negative 15 frames). Then click on the beginning of other video clip to the right that you linked and type +15 (for plus 15 frames).
4. Type "tttt" to change back to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool" the hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and drag all tracks back together again.
5. You may then drag and drop your transition in between both video clips.
I hope this helps someone...this is the only thing that worked for me!!!

I am working with mostly DVCPro ftg, with a few clips in MiniDV. I did have roughly 10 clips with speed changes, but they exported fine two weeks ago, when I did this the first time. (Actually, it didn't keep the speed changes, but it did export with media to FCP).
The clips do have reel numbers and seem to be of the right length per clip but there's just no picture and no assoicated media with which to relink the clip.
I'm on Color 1.5.3
Any possible ideas? Thank you for your help...

Audio help wanted exporting to QT and back into FCP.

I have a sequence with live sound on A1 and A2, music on A3 and A4 and some extra voice on A5 and A6. I have gone into audio outputs and clicked "6 outputs" and "dual mono" for each and tried checking all the options for "Discrete channels" "Stereo down mix" etc. Whatever happens when I reimport the QT movie into a fcp sequence I get the 6 tracks but the whole mix always ends up of 1 and 2 with the other tracks blank. How can I get all the tracks to carry accross individually all the way?

I've sent a test to the broadcaster using this method. When I reimported the QT file back into FCP it was possible to separate the live sound from the music etc. I'll have to hope it's OK otherwise I'll have to do the odd suggestion of the editor of converting all the audio files to AIFF and re-laying them into the project and then exporting the whole lot as a QT file.

Problems with exporting clips from GoPro cam

hi!
I am using PP cs3 and it works fine with DV and HDV. But I am having problems exporting vids from GoPro (spec: http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=7). When I render it everything looks fine, but when I export it seems to repeat frames (ex. surfer jumps from surfboard twice)... first few seconds of the exported video works fine, than the repeated frames start to appear and it only gets worse towards the end... so far I got the best results with Quicktime (H.264) but still repeating toward the end...
(gopro from 1.15 to 2.47 @ http://www.vimeo.com/6231114)
I have a laptop, core2duo 2GB, 2gb ddr2 800mhz and nvidia wtih cuda acc., 320gb disk, and everything works fine (maybe a little slow ), even HDV videos from canon A1, I am only having problems with the gopro ... please help...
thanks
Mitja

Received another reply from Gopro support:
"We've heard of compatibility issues in Premiere with the .avi files. One possible way around this is to first save the .avi file as a .mov file using a program such as imovie or quicktime pro. Hopefully this clears up the editing issues for you."
I still haven`t gave up, so I`ve tried exporting in .mov with Sorenson codec and Sorenson 3... works perfektly but now the speed od the clip is increased, so the picture is not tuned with sound anymore . Unfortunately the codecs settings can`t be configured via Premiere...

Audio Synch from Color back to FCP

I am sending a short sequence with 8 clips or so to color, adding a color fx to half of the clips, rendering all of the clips, inc. the ones without an effect added, and sending back to fcp. When I open the new color sequence, the audio is out of synch by a few seconds. Any ideas why?

Any ideas why?
Not really, but it has been a continuing problem. You're sure it is the audio that is out of sync, and not the video? (Just checking) There are a lot of complaints, especially with HDV about frame drift.
Best solution is to lift the audio from the previous timeline and paste it into the graded (from COLOR) sequence. Even when a mixed stereo final is part of the workflow, it almost never comes back the same, so most, if not all, users avoid sending and retrieving audio as part of the COLOR roundtrip. In my experience, even if it somehow mysteriously lands back in sync, the pan settings are all slammed over to one side.
So we all just pull the original audio forward from the previous sequence and Apple can go onward in its delusional mindstate.

Send from Color back to FCP

At the point of sending color corrected files back to FCP from Color a window entitled "Send To Sequence Option" come up with the message: "Change graded Final Cut Pro sequence to match the Quicktime export codec?"
I'm using Apple Intermediate Codec in my FCP project and want to keep re-compression to a minimum. Being new to Color I'm not actually sure what is a stake here. If I press "No" does that mean my work within Color will be wasted or will if actually keep the color corrected footage in the Apple Intermediate Codec? I'm not anxious to switch codecs if I don't have to.
Anyone have info on this?

Stuart:
I am having the same trouble and am really mystified. I am working on an XDCAM EX 1080p24 35Mb timeline in FCP. I send all my files to Color, do corrections, and when I am ready to send my graded timeline back, I am asked whether or not to "change graded Final Cut Pro sequence to match the Quicktime export codec?"
Here's the mystery - if I click "yes", the sequence sent back to my browser in FCP is a 10 bit uncompressed sequence which will not play back smoothly for editing. Worse, if I click "no" the sequence comes back in what appears (according to sequence settings) to be an XDCAM EX 1080p24 35Mb timeline, but it also stutters, hesitates and won't play back, just like the 10 bit sequence, making editing impossible. (No rendering is necessary on this sequence when it is sent back from Color).
I have no problem playing the original XDCAM files on their timeline, but no matter what I do, I can't get my XDCAM files to come back to me graded from Color and play smoothly on their new sequence timeline even though Settings says it is exactly the same kind of timeline as the original.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here and is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks, Rick

Color graded sequence won't export back into fcp as an xml or send to

Hi,
I've finished a film and graded it. when everything is rendered, I export using either send to or as an xml. Both stop at around 50%. on the xml I get the following report.
I started out at a 20 min sequence then a ten minute sequence now I'm down to 5 minutes. i've got a 146 minute movie to grade and get back into fcp.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers

Mon, Jul 20, 2009, 14:07 - Errors Found Importing moral conflict 15min sequence.xml

<sequence>: Unable to create new <sequence>.( line 5 )
<sequence>: Unable to create new <sequence>.( line 5 )
<sequence>: Unable to create new <sequence>.( line 5 )

The order of execution is confusing me.
On your first attempt, you tried sending the entire 146 minute project, graded and rendered it. Correct?
On Send To FCP, the XML failed... (hardly surprising)
This is where I get lost. Are you creating new, shorter versions, grading them and attempting to round trip the short sequences? and... if this is so, how are you differentiating these from the original monster failure? Do you have new render directories, paths, XMLs? Once an XML has been sent, it must not be re-used or re-sent or it will start appearing as ambiguous clones with conflicting path references.
And 146 minutes is too long for any single subject unless it is a remake of Warren Beatty's "Reds" or "Spending a little over two hours on a beach with Jessica Alba" so make it shorter... ;-P This is an undocumented feature of COLOR. No, really!

Here are the options, from a sequence with 5.1 master track:
and with Surcode:
Notice that first one does only give stereo as an option. Nothing more. With Surcode it gives you 5.1 sound.

Are you using Keynote on an iPad?
If so you posted in the wrong forum, this is the Keynote Mac discussion and it is a different application. I dont know how the iPad works at all, so I cant help you, post in the Keynote iOS discussion.
If you are using a Mac, the colours palette is accesed by clicking on the colour well (arrowed) and then selecting a colour chip or changing the color in the colour wheel.

Problem importing footage from Canon XF305 into fcp

I have footage from a card having recorded on a Canon XF305. I literally dragged and dropped card onto my desktop making sure not to change any file names. I am now trying to import this footage from my desktop into fcp. I have downloaded the canon fcp plugin but everytime I try to import the footage using the canon plugin preferences I get an error message which reads... "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media. Can anyone help me??

Hi there,
I've had no joy with this. Have tried everything. Just can't get footage into fcp any way I try. I have downloaded the plugin but I still get the same error message. "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
My work flow is as follows.
Open final cut pro. Go to log and transfer. Go to preferences within the log and transfer window and click on Canon XF plugin. Then go to import. Click on file on my desktop which is labeled as CLIPS001. Then error message comes up.
Memory card was dropped directly onto my laptop and onto a back up drive without changing any file names. Was thinking this would be straight forward.
Any help will be hugely appreciated. Am I missing something simple?

Batch Exporting Clips from timeline in Final Cut Pro X

So ive looked at many forums and many sources and I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked.....but I was
wondering how I would be able to batch export clips from the timeline (about 100 or so) to use as Content for VJing (live media manipulation). Is there a simple way to acomplish this in Final Cut Pro X... I have heard remours that you can cut multiple clips in Quicktime Pro 7 but im not sure how eficiant this is, I also have heard that this is allot easier to acomplish in Final Cut Pro 7. If anybody knows a simple (and quick way) to acomplish this Im all ears!

If you want to batch export parts of your project, I believe that you'd better served by an external utility, like QTCoffee. Export your movie to Quicktime, and then use QTCoffee to create the various bits in one, er... batch.

OMF back into FCP

Sent an OMF from FCP to audio post house for mixing many moons ago and now need to make amendments.
I have original pictures but need to reimport the audio back to FCP and I only have the OMF available
How can I get the OMF audio back into FCP with all the original edit points on the audio
instead of continuous tracks containing the clips?

Hi Dave,
thanks for your response. I've tried doing that and haven't had any luck. It's dawned on me that there a probably two good reasons why the audio is identical on left and right channels.
1. The first is that the J3 I originally diged from had previously been set to centre all audio. The deck was on hire so it's not unlikely. Normally you can toggle between channels on the front J3 panel 'Audio' button - but I now reckon that someone had adjusted the setting within the menu system. This is something I hadn't thought of at the time.
2. If this isn't the case, the sound recordist may have recorded everything in mono. Soon after I posted the question, the director of the film mentioned that the recordist had mentioned something to this effect but she wasn't absolutely sure.
I'm going to test a couple of the digibeta rushes at work tomorrow and find out.
If the tapes are stereo and I did mis-capture them, then I still have the problem of re-batch diging them from Avid. I'm also now thinking that the best thing to do is splash he cash and just hire a J3 for a day and batch conform through FCP.
Thanks again for your post, any other solutions would be appreciated!
Steve
