Roundtrip between FCP & Motion not working

Hi, I have just upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 with Motion 3. Wanted to try the roundtrip integration between FCP & Motion. When I send to motion, my clips are not recognized in motion, I have to physically reconnect the media in the media tab. I thought it is suppose to be automatic.
Do anyone encounter the same problem as me?

let's go back to the purpose:
I have written a mobile app on which people can during a sports match capture the time of the important moments by pressing buttons.
I then convert the time information into an XML or CSV file that can be read by the different NLE. Given that Sony Vegas allows to import
markers independently from a sequence. Now I look at the same things for Premiere. This allows to edit the highlights very quickly vs watching
the entire match coverage again.
I try to replicate that on Premiere through the FCP XML, but now that the roundtrip works, the issue is that FCP XML in its structure wants a sequence.
I could imagine to provide a dummy sequence that can be overlayed by the real content just to preserve the markers. Any ideas?

TK

Premiere Markers export and import: Roundtrip via FCP XML not working

The objective of my project is to create a sports app that records markers and saves it in different formats of XML / CSV that I can then import in different NLE packages.
I have already succeeded with Vegas Pro but also want to support NLEs for MAC-OS.
In order to approach this analytically I have exported a very simple project with 1 sequence including 1 clip and 3 markers (with length zero and length > 0) and exported it
in FCP XML from Adobe Premiere CC and do a round-trip import it via FCP import into Adobe Premiere CC.
This round-trip does not work. Any insight why or any support what other mechanism will work?
Thanks
Thomas

I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve. I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.
I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade. Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
Good luck.

NI Volumetrix used in FCP does not work as in Motion

Hi,
Recently I purchased NI Glow and Zoom filters and created my title within Apple Motion and tried to use in both ways either as Master Template or as Motion file adding in the FCP TL.
It works fine in Motion and strange in FCP. Now when contacted NI they say to use as Nest -- here bit confused. I can understand the nesting probably means to create another alayer and place the filter in.
But I look forward to see some expert inputs from anyone of you who has already used this -- please.
My second problem is: I am unable to get the audio used in the Motion within FCP. Here also I tried both way 1. Creating a temple and used as master template withing FCP and 2. Use as Motion file -- either way Audio is missing in FCP. But, audio plays when browsing the Master template within FCP.

I think in this instance "nest in Motion" = bake.
Like those old cooking shows where you are making a pie, let's say it's an Apple pie for the sake of explaination. The chef, Steve Jobs,  Certified, or what have you shows you how to make the Apple pie then throws it in the oven and a few seconds later "bam" I mean "boom" or whatever it is SJ says @ keynote the Apple pie is taken out of the oven all cooked and ready-to-eat. In Motion you bake by creating your animation, exporting as QT then importing that QT into FCP. You don't have all the meat-and-potatoes of the Motion project file you just have the baked Apple pie err... QT movie
Reason why third party plug in filter *made for Motion(?) does not work in FCP could be anyone's guess. You asked manufacturers' advice and they told you to bake so they most likely don't even know what's up.
Not a "BUG" that a Motion project (not Motion+Audio as the name implies, mind you) does not include audio in the project file. It's the nature of the beast. It's made for Motion gfx not motion/audio mix.

Sequence settings not maintained between FCP & Motion

My sequence settings in FCP are the same as in Motion however when I bring in a Motion file that I’ve created or a template it seems to revert back to square pixels. I found the “Correct for aspect ratio” in the view menu, which made the Motion file appear more like the FCP, but when I save the file and a template they still come into FCP in the wrong aspect ratio. In pref. settings for both projects (FCP & Motion) the Pixel Aspect Ratio is HD (960x720), not square. My project size is 1280 x 720. Can anyone help me understand how to get the Motion Project to play nice with FCP. When I stretch and adjust the Motion file to fit the FCP aspect ratio the render looks crappie.
Using FCP Studio 2

Thank you, Thank you!!! Now I understand what you were talking about in the 16 x 9 post answer that you gave.
From the 16 x 9 post:
"This is what happens in FCP as well. The only thing i find is that when I drop the project back into FCP it defaults to having an Distort value of 33. I have to click on it and change it back to 0 to make it display properly."
In that post you didn't mention "Aspect Ratio" parameter in the motion tab. I remember something else I had to adjust like that. Again, thank you. Now to see if the render is still crappie.
No the render of the font on the Motion file is still crappie. Aside from changing the font, does anyone have any suggestions?

"render.mov" file goes offline when roundtripping between FCP & STP

Hi there
I'm having an issue roundtripping between Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro. I have some clips which need to be de-noised, so I right click and select "Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project", do the de-noising with no issue, then save the file and return to Final Cut - your standard roundtripping experience.
However, when Final Cut Pro updates the file in the timeline, it brings up a file offline warning, stating that "~/file.stap:render.mov" is missing. I attempt to reconnect the file by opening the .stap package and creating a duplicate of the render.mov file in there, and reconnecting that, however that brings up the error "The file does not have enough audio tracks to reconnect to "file.stap" at time [time] in sequence [sequence]", and the file remains unconnected and silent in the timeline.
I am selecting the "include source audio" option when saving out of STP. It is also worth noting that I have managed to get this to work once this morning, but not since then. It was also not doing it last week, so I'm not sure what I did differently with that first file this morning.
Any help?
Cheers!

Hi there
Sorry to take so long to come back to this but this project had to spend a little bit of time on the backburner whilst I worked on some other projects.
Thanks for your reply Robert, however saving the STP project as a different .stap file and then attempting to reconnect to it brings out the same error.
This is the error window I get:
!http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4086/picture19r.png!
I've found that exporting the file as an AIFF and reconnecting to that seems to do the trick, however it is a bit of a roundabout way of doing things when you consider the way I'm trying to do it is the way I should be doing it, and a way that used to work. It's also a pain when you consider I have perhaps dozens of audio artifacts that need some form of audio post in Soundtrack Pro for this project alone.

FCP 7 not working with Mountain Lion!!

FCP 7 is not working!!
Once I install FCP in Mountain Lion (10.8) My FCP 7 won't let me open or create new projects shot with a Sony Z5 using Sony HVR-MRC1 to ingest media.
Prior to this I never had any problems with Snow Leopard.
When I try to ingest media FCP freezes and received the message that the application is not responding. For older works I am receiving this message:
Appreciate your help!!
Thanks,
Rolando

That error is well known and documented. Even if you are on The latest FCP 7.0.3 version, it can still appear.
Moving to FCP X won't help either. FCP 7 projects are not readable in X without third party conversion software.
FCP 7 should work fine in Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8) I have it running in Mac OS X 10.10.2.
Use this free tool to trash FCP Preferences: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/ Doing so will return FCP to standard settings.
This tool is not free, but it has a trial period: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/promaintenance/ It includes the ability to repair corrupt project files.

Keyword search in fcp x not working

I just spent 6 hours keywording clips in FCP X. Now the search does not work at all. Nada. Nothing. Even one letter in the search box brings up the warning box..."No clips match the current filter setting." I've double clicked the magnifying glass and check out my criteria. Tried both clearing the criteria and adding keyword and text options, both to no avail.
Is this the moment in which I abandon fcp and get on with Premiere? How can such a basic thing as a search (which is fcp x's claim to fame) be so aggrivating. Absolutley nothing is working!!! Do I need to scap a folder somewhere?
Note: I'm using the trial version as I'm not convinced the new fcp is worth it yet. Could this be the problem?

Hey RC,
Are you trying to search for stuff in all your events? I just don't get why there's any mention of "timeline"...
Anyway, here's me, selecting my drive, in the Event Library, and selecting a few choice keywords - http://i.imgur.com/47NcnPY.jpg
To get there I just clicked on the magnifying glass in the Event LIbrary and made the changes you can see in the dialog.
Yes, once you've done this, clicking anywhere in the textbox brings you back to this dialog - you can't type text into the original box anymore. This part makes sense to me.
What did throw me off at one stage, is that this dialog showing has a scrollbar *which I sometimes don't notice*... and it may be hiding a bunch of filters that is stopping anything from showing. It's so easy to miss (caught me while doing this simple demo) that I'd say there's a fault with the design of this dialog. It should be obvious if filters are out of view, somehow.

Motion not working on my macbook pro

i have final cut studio 1.0.1 i recently purchased a macbook pro and motion will not work it will quit randomley and will not stay open for longer then a minute

Motion will not run on macbook pro's.
Oh but it will my friend. It will not be truly all it can be but it will run on a MBP, probably better than it will on an iMac. Motion is RAM intensive but it also requires a better graphics card than you find in the iMac. Now you are correct about the MacBook, but that is not what the OP has.

Linking between pages is not working for me on mobile devices. Can someone help?

I can get the page linking to work on my desktop machine, but when I preview on mobile devices through Edge Inspect the page does not work. It tells me the page can't be found. Can someone help? - Thanks Robin

Try downloading Reflow Preview 8 that was released yesterday and see if that fixes it. If not can you post the name of the page you are trying to link too and I'll see if I can reproduce it.
Thanks for you help and thanks for using Reflow,

Syncing mail between macs does not work (go daddy account)

I upgraded to Lion on both - my Mac Pro and Macbookpro. I have a go daddy mail account that I switched recently from pop to - imap. I had already problems when I set it up the port numbers that godaddy provided - mail did not work at all (receiving or sending). I am using now "default port" no SSL for outgoing server and in advanced 143, no SSL. I am able to send and receive emails but since I upgraded to Lion syncing does not work well. For example I delete an email on the macpro and it still shows up on the laptop. I read in the forum and changed settings ( like uncheck "move/store deleted messages", changed ports back and forth) still not working. Am also using an ipad and 2 iphones but the computers are priority.
Support from apple told me it is not their problem. Go daddy says the same.

Gmail has its own application you can install to access your Gmail account - it's really good, and will let you view by inbox/starred/labels etc.
Well worth getting:
Gmail Mobile
Not sure whether it works with the E61, but it's worth a try - I really do much prefer it to the pop3 access that's built in for gmail

Having trouble "roundtripping" between FCP 6 and Soundtrack Pro 2

I've been a FCP user since it first came out, and believe it or not, this is my first attempt at roundtripping with Soundtrack Pro. Basically the process goes pretty good until it's time to go back to FCP.
Here's my workflow: In FCP I highlight the audio clip in the timeline. I select Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project. It creates a (sent) file, which I save (Save project with latest clip metadata is selected). Once the clip opens in Soundtrack Pro, I make the adjustments I need to make (in this case, I'm getting rid of some background noise), then I save (Include Source Audio is selected).
Here's where the problem comes in. When I go back to FCP, I get the "Some files went offline" warning. When I try to reconnect, I get the following warning:
"File Attribute Mismatch
Some attributes of one or more of the files you have chosen do not match the attributes of the original. This may cause problems within the sequences that are dependent on them. The attributes that differed are as follows:
- Media Start and End
Would you like to try to connect them again?"
When I go to the folder where the modified (sent).stap is saved, it opens and plays back fine. However, it looks like Soundtrack Pro is saving the full clip (from the original footage), not just the selection from my timeline. I'm assuming this is why I'm getting the "File Mismatch" error (basically it's too long).
Is there a step I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First thing to try is resetting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
It's also possible your sequence has gotten corrupted. Try editing a short clip into a new sequence and see if that works.
And what are your sequence settings?
Also, although its a long shot, make sure the frame rate of your easy setup matches the frame rate of your sequence.

Filter Between in QAAWS not working correctly for period, how to resolve?

I created universe based on query on bw and then created query in QaaWs.
I trying to query summary of sale amount for the periods that selected on the prompts screen.
I put sale amount in Result Ojbects pane and put periods in Filter Objects pane.
And set periods option to prompts in between. When I entry periods 008.2009 - 009.2009
The result of sale amount is not correct. It's seem only show the value of one period.
Does anybody know about this issue and maybe how to resolve?
Thanks.

Hello David,
I use an OLE DB connection to a MS SQL Server 2005.
Connection Details say:
Version 2.0.0.29
Build 12.1.0.882
Network Layer OLE DB
DBMS Engine MS SQL Server 2205
Database used is MS AdventureWorksDW sample database (data warehouse sample)
I noticed that only with this database, ranking is selectable (not with the AdventureWorks non-DW sample database).
Ranking itself seems to work, if I activated ranking (e.g. Top 10 customers) everything is ok.
(Also if I send a direct SQL command with ranking to the DBMS, it seems ok.)
Issue arise if I add year filter. Combination of rank and year filter does not seem to work properly.
Any idea why? Or do you wanted to say that this issue might also be related to DBMS support? I would hope / expect to get a straight "ranking not supoorted" and not incorrect data back ...
Thanks for your answer anyway!
Regards,
Stefan
