Regarding Roundtrip session from FCP X to Resolve 9 lite

Hi,
I have footage from 5D III shot at 23.976 frame rate. I imported this into FCP X timeline of 24 fps by using the option convert to optimized media...
In the timeline the shots have been conformed to 24fps... I exported an XML after finishing the editing... Now i conform all the footage in the FCP X events-Original media folder to 24fps using cinema tools and put it into another folder named Source media... In Resolve i add this Source media folder to the media pool and try to import the xml... It gives me an error saying THE CLIP CANT BE LINKED TO THE MEDIA FILE "Actual filename" because the timecode extents do not match...
Can anyone help me regarding this issue as i need to give my footage to the color grading guys in a couple of days ????

Ok i created a new project with a 23.976fps timeline and copied all the footage from my original timeline to this new one... Next i exported the xml again from fcp x and tried importing it in Resolve and it still gives me the same error as above??? Is there a solution to this...

Sound file becomes stretched upon roundtrip from FCP

I don't know soundtrack very well, but I am trying to clean up and audio track. When I try to send it to soundtrack, the file becomes time stretched and the pitch is also lower. this has happened a few times and that is why I haven't bothered to learn soundtrack, but I need to do this by the end of the weekend.
I have soundtrack 1 from FCP 5 studio.

Check the timecode rate and sync options in Protools. It sounds like a timecode or samplerate mismatch.
Especially note that 23.976fps OMFs from FCP (probably STP as well) show up in Protools as 24fps sessions. Change the PTs timecode to 23.976 to realign.

First time linking from FCP. Question regarding normalizing.

Hello,
I am linking from FCP for the first time. I would like to normalize a number of clips of dialogue. I can do it clip by clip, but when I select a series of clips at the same time, the Normalize feature is grayed (inaccessible). Is there a way to normalize multiple clips at the same time?
Thanks.
DG

Even if you could normalize all the clips at once, I don't think you would want to. If they could all be normalized together, you would be normalizing based on the highest peak on one of the audio clips, which would raise or lower all of the audio levels inconsistently. That is unless all of the audio is near identical.

Whats the best way to import video clips from FCP into a personal template

Hey all, I'm doing some tests. I see some color shifting going on when I export out of FCP using QT conversion (same settings as sequence), Importing into Motion, then adding lower third graphics, then exporting out of Motion .... and finally back to FCP. I put the new graphic added layer on top and have the original on bottom. I toggle the monitor on both layers and see a slight saturation drop on the graphic layer. Has anyone noticed that ?
The reason Im doing this is because lets say I have lower thirds that I want to place throughout a hour show. I want to set-up a basic lower third template and just plug in the video clips for the areas that I need those graphics. It would be way to difficult to export out of the timeline in FCP
and rebuild those lower thirds everytime in Motion. Does anyone know of a better way or does everyone have to export out to the desktop and then into Motion every time they want to use a Motion template.
Thanks to any replies.

Try roundtripping from FCP to Motion and back using Send to Motion. In FCP, Control Click your clip>Send To>Motion Project. The clip will open in Motion with the proper project properties. Make your edits there, press Save, and then render back in FCP. No exporting necessary, although you might see a gamma shift. Much easier.
To do this with an existing Motion template, I'd try copying and pasting in that template's contents once you've sent to Motion from FCP.

Trouble exporting Flash from FCP, and, no MPEG-2 option?

Hello. I'm trying to export a short 5 minute video from FCP. There doesn't seem to be an option for MPEG 2 anymore. Am I missing it?
Second, when I export with the Flash (FLV) setting FCP "stops responding" every time. Any idea what's up with that and what I can do to resolve it?
Thank you!
Eric P

I was hoping to export MPEG2 directly from FCP, but I used Compressor as you suggested. Now, here's a really silly question: After I "submit" the file, it processed (I can see it processing in the Batch Monitor), but I can't find the file anywhere on my computer!
I thought I changed the destination to my desktop, but even searching the computer for the file name it doesn't come up. Am I overlooking something obvious??
Thank you again,
Eric

New user session from an existing logged in user browser window

Hi,
I have a requirement that says, a new browser window should be popped up with a new user session from the current "logged in user" browser window when he clicks a button event.
What I have with me is the "UserID" of that new user. Is it possible in portal?
Let me know.
Thanks,
Megha.

Megha,
I know that you can manually click CTL-N to open a new browser window and the user is still authenticated.
So I would think that you could code a similar function into the button event.
Hope it helps.

Strange Facebook Active Sessions from RIM

Hey all,
My girlfriend has shown me a screenshot of an active session on her facebook account. She uses a blackberry to access her Facebook however shes also in Cyprus. Lastnight she saw that there was an active session from Great Britian - I did a reverse DNS and the IP belongs to RIM - rdns.blackberry.net.
I understand that internet on blackberry is via BIS, therefore all routed traffic will go through BIS from her phone regardless of Carrier.
Its just never shown it from that location before, Anyone aware of any BIS routers/proxies that exist in the UK ?

Thanks for your time with this.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm glad you guys figured it out but as a precaution, go to the facebook site from a PC browser and go under the Security Settings. I'm not sure exactly what path to follow but you can ask to have an SMS sent to your BlackBerry (or her to hers) whenever an unknown IP address tries to access your facebook account. It's saved me a couple of times in the past and I highly recommend looking in to it.
Cheers.

How ro export small (compressed) files (.mpg) with sound from FCP or compr.

I have some dv pal footage that I need to store in in very small files. Then I need to convert it back to dv, for editing.
The quality (regarding artefacts and all that) is not important. The stuff was ripped from DVDs originally and are only to be used as reference.
Can I export an .mpg file with sound muxed into it from FCP or Compressor?
H.264 produces to big files.
Thanks for any replyes:)
Message was edited by: Citizen_K

Hm, what a weird workflow.
I presume you are trying to edit with this stuff in FCP, so my question is, If you are grabbing media off DVDs, and converting with MPEG Streamclip or some such thing, and then trying to down-rez to edit with proxy footage, how do you plan to use timecode to reconnect to the high-res media when your cut is done?
h.264 can produce to big files or small files, depending on the settings of the file you tell it to produce to.
Consider that the amount of time you would spend converting media back and forth to low-res formats of lousy quality could be much more valuable than the cost of a firewire drive which you could use to convert your DVDs directly to DV, which you will find much easier to work with.
Hope this is helpful to U

Video does not play when imported from FCP

When I import a clip from FCP into motion the clip opens up however only one frame shows up in the motion viewer. When I press play, there is no video..only that particular frame that was showing.
The media tab shows the .mov file, and plays it in seperate window when i double click on it.
Thanks for helping me out.

How do you bring the file into Motion and what file are you actually opening in Motion?
Are you exporting your FCP project as QT? or
Are you sending your FCP project to Motion?

Hisham

Exporting from FCP to .mov - backwards compatibility

Am working from NJ with a client in CA. She is struggling to export her FCP movies into a .mov format that will play on quicktime (specifically on OLDER versions of quicktime). I've been able to assist her in exporting to the .mov format, but it only plays in the quicktime 7 player. Most of her customers do not have that installed and thus cannot view the movie (and, they do not want to take the time to install).
I would like to be able to walk her through the steps/settings/parameters necessary for her to export into a .mov format which will play in older quicktime players (without forcing the user to update their player).
example of .mov: http://advertisingusa.tv/0_home/index.shtml
many thanks in advance,

Trying to export from FCP to backwards compatible .mov or .mo4 format.
We're trying to use Sorenson 3 compression, and are able to create this but the file is created without any extension.
We are using FCP, export using quicktime conversions, then under options->settings->compressor type = "Sorrenson Video 3"
Still are not able to create a movie file backwards compatible. Any further assistance greatly appreciated.

Sessions from apex are blocking by batch job

Hi All,
In my 10.2.0.3 linux with apex 3.1.1
We have a batch job using a package,that is doing DML operation in tables depends upon some condition.And this job will run daily 5 hours.
The sessions from apex that is also using some procedures in the same package.Some days the sessions from apex are blocking by batch job.While blocking wait event from apex sessions are 'library cache pin'.Once the batch job completes then automatically removes the block.
What may be the reason?
Thanks in Advance,
Sunil

The query against v$lock is not relevant if the blocked sessions are waiting on "library cache pin" - so you seem to have two separate problems.
If you have a session waiting on another session's transaction slot in mode 4 there are several possible causes - often related to indexes, but there are a couple of "internal" problems as well. If you see this locking issue again some of the simplest things to check for would be session 1 inserting (without commit) some rows in a table with a unique key, and session 2 then trying to insert a duplicate. Session 2 has to wait for session 1 to commit or rollback before deciding whether to return a "duplicate key" error, or to continue processing.
The "library cache pin" waits suggest that the package had become invalid while the batch job is running it, and one of the Apex jobs is trying to recompile it. But if the batch job is currently running (hence pinning) the "executable", then the Apex job can't get the necessary exlusive pin until the batch job ends and releases its pin.
Read the notes in the script $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catblock.sql about creating views that let you see more of the information about library cache (KGL) locks and pins.

With Muti-clip gone from FCP X, is there a new way to sync two cameras with FCP X

With Muti-clip gone from FCP X, is there a new way to sync two cameras with FCP X

I film with two cameras then copy the files from each camera into their own folders. I then use ClipWrap to convert the MTS files into AIC. If the recording was one long contiguous session, many cameras will split the MTS files into 2GB chunks. ClipWrap will Convert Multiple to Span to reassemble them properly. With the AIC .MOV file from ClipWrap, I then use FCP X to Import the MOV files from camera 1 and camera 2. I prefer to do it that way versus using FCP X Import from Camera. I then move the clip from camera 1 onto the timeline in the "primary storyline" (FCP X terminology). I drag the camera 2 clip above the camera 1 clip and line up the audio from the two cameras while that audio is still attached to the video so everything stays in sync. FCP X has a way to automatically sync two soundtracks, but I have not gotten around to that yet. With camera 2's clip attached to camera 1's clip as a "connected clip" above the camera 1 video, I then do an edit to go between the cameras as seems best to me. When the connected clip of camera 2 video sits above the camera 1 video, it will take priority over the camera 1 video. I then split camera 1's video clip taking out sections when I want to go back to the camera 1 view. Of course I can trim camera 2's clips until I get it the way I want it. Since FCP X uses the magnetic timeline concept, and camera 2's clip is "connected" to the camera 1 clip, as you split and trim camera 2's clip, everything will stay in sync across the two camera "tracks". When there is no camera 2 video above the camera 1 video, camera 1 video will be seen. When camera 2 video is above camera 1 video, camera 2 video will be seen instead. With a single editing pass, I can then do all the editing I need to go back and forth between two cameras. The same concept is expandable to other camera "tracks" as long as you are using vertical position in the timeline to determine which camera is seen when. If you would like for it to look like a multi-camera track composit like before FCP X, you can simply select all your clips and make a compound clip out of it. You will then see the multiple camera clips side by side in a single "track". Double click on that "clip" in that "track" to go into the structure and editing individual "tracks" around if needed. Think of a compound track as what a sequence used to do. Anyway, there may be other, and easier ways to do this, but with a single edit through my recording, I can easily and visually cycle back and forth between camera views. It's just that things are called differently now ... and, as of this time, we do not have a single button camera switching function to let us view multiple cameras simultaneously and switch between them using a keystroke for each camera. Still, I have a way to do it, and it has worked very well for me, in fact I was pleasantly surprised at how easily I could do multi-camera in post. Hope this at least gives you one option. Others may have a better way. Best wishes.

How to delete last user session from backend SQL query?

Sometimes user session gets closed between some work by any reason.
When next time that user logs to P6, he gets some error or particular functionaly dosen't work for that user or system hangs.
In that case if i decided to clear last session history of that user from database, how to write SQL query?
I don't want to delete all user sessions from table USESSION and USESSAUD, i simply want to delete last user session of particular user (E.g XYZ).

I am quoting this from MOS Doc Id "Why would multiple session records be present in the User Sessions screen in P6 Web, and why might some of them have different IP addresses? (Doc ID 1600172.1)"
Multiple sessions show up for users since different sections of P6 Web have their own sessions associated with them. If a user is authorized to use multiple areas of the software they will have multiple sessions each time they log in. Additionally, if users are closing their browsers before logging out of P6 Web Access you might see some past sessions still appearing in the list. These will eventually be cleared out by background jobs, however you can also reset the sessions in the software by clicking the "Reset User" link (Administer > User Sessions > Manage User Sessions), or by choosing the "Reset All Users" link (Administer > User Sessions > Manage User Sessions) to do this for all past sessions.
Multiple IP addresses for sessions can happen when a user logs in from different machines. For example, a person may login at their desk, but then go to a colleagues workstation to discuss a project, and log in from there. Doing so will leave them with multiple IP addresses in the session records.
Hope this helps

Audio exporting problems: from FCP to protool/STP and back again

Final Cut Pro sound export for mastering.....sync problem
Hey,
I'm editing a 30 minute film and I have done most of the sound edit in FCP and Soundtrack pro and I want to now bring all the sound into pro tools to master the sound but every time i export sound into pro tools it seems to stretch by two or three seconds.
I have tried OMF, AIFF, XML, and Quicktime audio file sut to no avail!!!!
There are 50 tracks in the file so it is quiet large. It's not that there are handles of the file also as when I sync the file with the audio track with the video it syncs in one place but it is still out of sync in another.........It's as if the audio has been stretched!?!
If anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated
Keith

Check the timecode rate and sync options in Protools. It sounds like a timecode or samplerate mismatch.
Especially note that 23.976fps OMFs from FCP (probably STP as well) show up in Protools as 24fps sessions. Change the PTs timecode to 23.976 to realign.

CrossGrade from FCP 3 to FCE 3.5?

Is it possible to crossgrade from FCP 3.0 to the new FCE 3.5? I've been using my old version of FCP from the pre-FCE days, and would only need to continue on using FCE on my new MacBookPro.
regards,
Michael.

Not acceptable that you can't cross grade Apple products.
