Problems with XML import from FCP 7 to Premiere Pro CS6

Afternoon everyone.
I'm currently trying to import an FCP 7 project file that I want to now edit and tweak in Premiere Pro (have recently realised i've been using Premiere far more so would like to start making a full switch over).
I've gathered my original FCP project and exported via XML (Apple Interchange Format, Version 5) and imported it into a blank Premiere Pro project. However it gets to the import window, progresses fully to 100% and then throws this error message at me, and I can't seem to figure out why.
I've tried exporting an XML for the whole project, with all bins/sequences/clips etc. I've also tried individual sequences/bins, and none of them want to import.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks,
Adam

Okay, after trying both steps in the document above, the missing codecs/preview presets still aren't available when I go to File>New>Sequence. I guess that's the only way to check if they have installed correctly/activated correctly right? It says it's correctly activated though so not sure why it's doing this.
Are these presets also missing in the trial verison of the software?

  • Captured video using Premiere Pro CC on MAC, wont import when moved to Premiere Pro CS6

    Using a Captured video on Premiere Pro CC on my Macbook air, my video wont import when moved to Premiere Pro CS6 when i try to edit it on a pc (Windows 7)
    When I try to import the file into CS6 it says *error while decompressing file*
    If anyone has any idea what could have happened or what I might have done wrong please reply.

    mojo,
    Do you have QuickTime and the associated codecs installed in your PC?

  • Problem with iPhoto import from camera (gets stuck)

    Hi, I am having an issue with an import from digital camera to iPhoto. I've had this camera and this MacBook for years without any trouble. The import I am trying to do has about 1600-some photos and a handful of short videos in it, but most are duplicates, so when the import starts, I tell it not to import the duplicates. iPhoto does its thing, but it gets stuck after about 205 new photos. The screen just stays on one image and looks as though it is still importing. I left it for hours and it never advanced. So I clicked the button to stop the import, which didn't seem to work, because the message "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the export to complete" came up when I tried to quit iPhoto. So I had to Force Quit. When I reopened, fortunately my Library was intact and the photos that did go through went to a special "recovered" folder. I went through the process again in hopes that it was a glitch, but the same thing happens. I decided to delete the video on the camera that iPhoto seems to keep getting stuck on. This did not help. The same results (as described above) keep happening. I can't figure out what to do. I know I need new hardware sometime soon, but there should be a fix for this... Thank you.

    Try using a card reader.  That way you can open the memory card as it were an external volume, select and drag the files in small groups to a folder on the Desktop. That way you can isolate those files that are causing the problem.
    If there are only a few files that won't cooperate you may have to sacrifice them so you can reformat the memory card using the camera and then test it with some test photos and videos.
    Is it just videos that won't copy?  See if you can determine which files are causing the problem.

  • Trouble importing .mxf files into Premiere Pro CS6

    Having problems importing MXF. file types into my Premiere CS6 project. I will go to import the folder and the yellow loading bar will come up to say that it's importing. Then it will freeze and the color wheeled loading symbol will come up (I'm using a Mac) and will just sit there. From there I'm forced to do a force quit on my project and re-open it again. Is there any way to fix this issue and if so what is the problem causing this issue?
    Also my mac is running on OSX v10.7.5 and Premiere is running on cs6 v6.0.2

    Yes, MXF should play perfectly in PP CS6, but if you can't work this out at this point, you may wrap your MXF video to something intermediate. as a matter of face, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 seems to work fine if you import your MXF clips directly from a camera or camcorder, but if have already copied MXF recordings your HDD or you downloaded them from somewhere else, the import error may occur.
    So i suggest you convert the MXF footage to something mezzanine we would recommend DNxHD.mov (if you are on a PC) or Apple ProRes .mov (if on a mac). those two intermediate codecs are good mezzanine codecs that handle recompression well and standup well in other areas of post-production (color grading, graphics, compositing, etc,). You can see what I wrote about the solution. "Why Premiere Pro CS6 can't import MXF files?" i hope that it is helpful to you.

  • Importing Photoshop files into premiere pro CS6 issues

    Hi
    I recently re-installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my work computer (i changed from a HDD to an SSD). Ever since I did this I am having an issue importing .PSD files into Premiere.
    I try and import a photoshop file. The importer window comes up. The progress bar starts to move, then pauses and the Importer says 'Not Responding'. After a few seconds it comes back and throws up the following error:
    Error message - 'The importer reported a generic error'
    All projects i previously worked on that had .PSD files in them are now reporting these files as 'Media Offline' meaning I have to replace them with .PNG files which is really annoying.
    Any ideas what might be happening? The files I am trying to import are RGB .PSD's. They worked previously without any issues.
    I have Premiere Pro Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587))
    running on a Windows 7 machine with Service Pack 1, 64 bit OS, 16GB Ram and Intel Core i7-2600
    Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this!

  • Problem with Variable imported from SAP in universe

    I am using BO XI R3 with SAP based OLAP Universe.
    I am using a BEx query with a variable to create the universe.
    While using the variable in WebI report, the prompt comes but it has no effect in the report. I have noticed that if I select any measure object in the WebI query, then the prompt is working fine. But If I select dimension objects only, then the filter doesn't work.
    I need to see some dimensions only in the report based on the filter prompt. Is there any specific way to achieve that without selecting a measure object in the WebI query panel ?
    I can delete the filter object in the universe and create my own. But why the filter imported from SAP is malfunctioning ?

    Let me elaborate the problem.
    I am using BEx query (version 7) to build the universe.
    In the BEx query, I have one characteristic "Cons Area" in Rows and one key figure "No of Records" in Columns. In the Characteristic Restrictions, I have one variable B_AREA on Cons Area.
    In my universe, by default, I have :
    1. One dimension object L01 Cons Area for the characteristic Cons Area.
    2. One measure object No of Records for the key figure.
    3. Two LOVs LovB_AREA and LovB_AREABase as hidden dimension objects.
    4. One hidden filter object under class Cons Area for the variable. "Use filter as mandatory in query" checkbox is checked and "Apply on universe" is selected.
    The formula of the objects are as below:
    L01 Cons Area : [0BCS_AREA].[LEVEL01]
    No of Records:     [Measures].[D6UXU0FKYVITGHUL4JRNT6XRH]
    LovB_AREA :     [!V000001].[NAME]
    LovB_AREABase :     [!V000001].[CAPTION]
    Filter :     
    <OPTIONAL>
         <FILTER KEY="[!V000001]">
              <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Between">
                   <CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('B_AREA From','A','Cons Area\LovB_AREABase',mono,primary_key)"/>
                   <CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('B_AREA To','A','Cons Area\LovB_AREABase',mono,primary_key)"/>
              </CONDITION>
         </FILTER>
    </OPTIONAL>
    Note : LovB_AREABase has a primary key defined on it as [!V000001].[TECH_NAME]
    Now when I am building a WebI report using this universe, If I select Cons Area Object only, then the prompt is coming but has no effect on the result. The data is not being restricted by the prompt.
    But If I select the measure object along with the dimension object in my WebI report, then the prompt is working fine.
    If I delete the filter from universe and build my own filter in WebI query panel, then it is working absolutely fine.
    I can create a filter object in universe also as below which will work.
    <OPTIONAL>
         <FILTER KEY="[0BCS_AREA].[LEVEL01]">
              <CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Between">
                   <CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('B_AREA From','A',,mono,free)"/>
                   <CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('B_AREA To','A',,mono,free)"/>
              </CONDITION>
         </FILTER>
    </OPTIONAL>
    But I want to know why the default filter is not working as expected.

  • Problem with movies imported from iPad3

    Whenever I import footage into imovie, the footage looks good. When I put that footage into a project it stutters.
    It doesnt matter if I specify 24fps or 30fps, the movie judders and stutters.
    I do not have this problem with movie footage imported from any other device.
    Any ideas?

  • Page number problem with document imported from MS Word.

    I am a new Mac/Pages user and imported a Word document to use as a template to help me learn the Pages formatting nuances. This has worked well except for one problem. I have page numbers in the footer, but only the first digit of the page number shows up, i.e. 7,8,9,1,1...etc. I can't find a way to edit or delete the page number imported from Word. I can easily insert the page numbers through Pages but can't get rid of the imported pages numbers. Also, how do I prevent page 1 from receiving a page number?

    Hi,
    Others have reported difficulty removing page numbers from imported Word docs. I think it can be done, but it may not be worth the effort to repair the imported document when you can easily Select All and Copy the entire document and Paste it into a fresh Pages blank document without the improperly formatted, persistent Word page numbering.

  • I'm having some problem with Text imported from Motion into FCPro

    Hey Everyone.
    I've got an animation that I created in Motion.
    The format for the timeline in Motion is NTSC DV 4:3
    Final Cut has the same attributes to the sequence.
    I have text on my graphic.... Some of it looks great. Some of it does not.
    You can see it here.
    http://www.drewwfilms.com/Temp/McClure/Graphic.html
    The word "Show" looks terrible, where as the other text looks great.
    I do have a filter on the word show... actually it's not even a filter it's just one of the style parameters which is Outline and Face. The outline attribute has a bit of a blur on it.
    Still i would think this would copy over into final cut without and issue but for some reason it looks really bad.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks.
    -Fraky

    Your problem stems from the bright red on a dark background. It is particularly noticable on text because it is a uniform color.
    You might have other elements in your movies that use this exact shade and it wiil happen there, but it is less noticable because that element consists of multiple tones and is probably moving.
    Very saturated, bright reds always cause problems in video. It is a limitation of the medium.
    If you want to learn more about this facinating subject, the keywords are *Chroma Rise Time*.
    The solution: desaturate and/or lighten the red, change the color completely or live with it.
    Once I render. I get the pixelation.
    Your Motion clip is being rendered to your NTSC DV Sequence setting which is 1:5 compression.
    The problem with the red is only made worse due to this.

  • What is the problem with Adobe Customer/Tech support for Premiere Pro?!?!?!

    Today Adobe closed the NINTH support ticket - since mid-January - on my problem with Premiere Pro CC - it crashes on startup (just after the splash screen loads). From what I gather on here, I am not alone with this problem. It's apparently rather common!
    I've left message after message and, as I said, NINE tech support tickets (most recent #0185443350). All have been closed or withdrawn without ANY help, reply or solution. Yet my monthly Cloud charge is reliably withdrawn from my bank account!
    I need access to a working program! I use this in my studio business and my customers have been waiting since the end of January! This is now costing me money and customers!
    Adobe - Apparently you don't particularly care about your customers. I am NOT impressed and, at this point, I'm starting get a little pissed off. It's been almost six months and.....NOTHING!
    And YES, all of my drivers are up to date, etc. I've reinstalled. Updated drivers. Etc etc etc, ad nauseum!
    NOTHING WORKS!

  • Export problems with relation to audio in Adobe Premiere Pro HELP!!

    I have been working on a school assignment for media on Adobe Premiere  Pro CC and have come across a very frustrating issue that I have no idea about how to solve. it goes under the category of a 'technical difficulty'.
    As I have alot of interviews and talking in my project for my Documentary I am shooting on Bullying for my Current Affair I have alot of audio to deal with and with my Rode VideoMic Pro when in conversation in the midst of an interview there is a constant 'hiss and crackle' that one can hear when watching hence I have used the audio affect of "DeNoiser" to get rid of this and it seems to work great on my workflow in my sequence in Premiere as I have reduced most clips to -15Db's. But when I export my project as I have done several times,the 'Denoiser' affect doesn't work for the first 3 seconds + for all clips that I have used to affect for. At the start of all the clips used with the affect there is a constant hiss and crackle and after 3 seconds it fades out??? Please help me with this very unusual problem as I want this to be a fantastic film on your fantastic software!
    Thanks

    I would not return Adobe, I would return the camera, it is not suited for editing. If you insist on editing that material and end up with pretty crappy results, play it out from a DVD player into a good tape based DV video camera thru analog in and pass it thru to firewire for capture.
    To put it another way, when maximum achievable fidelity of video is 100, your camera is at 10% due to the heavy MPEG compression. You need to convert that to DV and you are left with around 8% due to DV compression, you then need to encode it again to MPEG and you end up with less than 1% out of a possible 100.

  • Intermittant problems with slow motion and crash of Premiere Pro

    Many complain about Premiere Pro's instability.
    Since a couple of days I have the same problem. Every time I want to navigate from A to B, Adobe seems to either introduce a severe SLOW MOTION effect on it's own accord, that I never put in !!!, or it just CRASHES with an error message along the lines "Problem, Try again" or similar.
    This is utterly frustrating !!! I have been trying for over 6 hours today to get this remedied, but no luck.
    Looking back over the past days, the problems seem to have grown exponentially both in frequency and in duration.
    Of course, this is not about the program, but about the Premiere Pro Forums.
    Is there a 300-day refund period for Jives???
    I suggest you use that opportunity Adobe. This is

    OK, that makes sense.
    OS: Vista 64 Business
    Browser: Firefox 3.5.2 and IE 8.06
    Symptoms:
    1. The connection has been reset, try again. Often after 15 minute waits.
    2. Nothing happens, just waiting for Adobe and even after 30 minutes, still waiting.
    3. After posting, nothing happens. You press the post button, nothing for ages. You press Cancel, nothing.
    4. All other pages load without problems and are responsive.
    5. Top participants listing and most popular discussions are not displayed.

  • Import mpg video into Premiere Pro CS6

    When I try to import video taken with a Sony Handicam DCR SX63 I get a "There was an error decompressing audio or video". In searching this issue I find many people with the same issue but never a resolution. Is there one? That a novice could implement??
    MPG format is clearly stated to be compatible. Copied directly from camera to computer via USB it plays just fine. Converting it to a different format (MP4) with DVDVideoSoft Free Studio I can import it into Premiere Pro and do my splicing / editing.
    But.. my end result is not as clear (and files are much larger) so feel if I could use the original and stay in that format.. my results would be much better.
    My project is very simple.. combine some clips, remove some bad footage and burn to a DVD.. any advice on alternate formats would be appreciated as well.
    Thank you for your time
    Ralph

    Thank you for your time John.
    Your last link deals with taking files off a SD card.. this is not my case but there is mention of renaming files creating a problem. So.. I re-download all my video from my camera using Windows Explore and copied the entire folder and root (Videos\MP_ROOT\101PNV01). My previous download using Windows Media.. did in fact rename the files. However I get the same error when trying to import with Premiere Pro.
    In my previous searches for a solution I was pointed to your mediainfo applet.. running that on any of the newly downloaded video gives me this report: Open to more suggestions..

  • Problems with XML import to PDF form esp. checkboxes

    I am posting this here because it was suggested to me to do so when I posted it here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5613723
    Hi,
    I work with a certain PDF form created by the US government. They recently "upgraded" the form. (N600K)
    With the old form, I would import values in an XML file, which worked fine.
    With the new form, I have encountered a problem:
    The checkboxes behave as if they are ALL one group of radio buttons, which means only one can be selected at a time.
    There are quite a few questions with checkbox answers. If I or my xml file select any one if them, the rest get cleared.
    I have contacted the US government about this, but surprisingly, they have not responded.
    If you are familiar with designing PDF forms and think you might be able to understand my problem and help fix it, i would love to hear from you!
    Please email me at gidon.ariel @ gmail.com

    Tundra Steve, it sounds like that, that all the checkboxes behave like one
    set of radio buttons. But they aren't. They are separate sets of
    checkboxes, and while some sets could behave like radio buttons
    (male/female, for example), they should really all behave like the
    checkboxes that they are, and allow any and all to be selected.
