Sending multitrack Project from FCP to STP on another computer doesn't work

Hello,
I attempted to search the forums but can't find my specific problem mentioned. I apologize if I overlooked it!
I am attempting to send a Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project from Final Cut Pro 6.01 to Soundtrack Pro 2.01 on another computer. When I do, the video comes through fine but the audio fails to transfer over.
Here's what I did:
First I open the Final Cut Project, highlight all the clips in the sequence to send and click "Send to Soundtrack Pro MultiTrack Project". I select all options including the "Fully Rendered Video" Option. This project opens up great in Sound Track Pro on the original computer. In Soundtrack Pro I "save as" and make sure I select "Collect Audio Files", "Collect unused audio files", & "Collect Video File". As far as I have read, this should be all I need to make sure all of the audio and video clips transfer together with the STP file.
However, when I place this folder (including the media files) on a external hard drive and transfer it on to our other computer (set up for audio recording and editing) and open it up in STP I get no audio. The clips visually transfer and all the clip lengths match up with the video, however there is no waveform showing. A straight line at 0db is all that shows up. I check the clips in the bin and they show the same file size as on the first computer. When I select an audio clip and take a look at the actions tab it shows the name of the clip and under it it says "insert silence" (which was not there on the original computer). When I de-select the insert silence the audio still does not play (the straight line on the waveform disappears). I try deleting the "insert silence" action and the same thing happens.
I have tried doing this operation mulitple ways with the same result. Am I doing something wrong? The only thing I can think of is the file starts out on OSX 10.4.11 and is transfered over to leopard 10.5. I just tried doing the reverse operation (creating the file from the audio computer and sending it to the video computer) and everything works fine. No idea what this means. I need this to work the other way around so I can begin the extremely intensive audio work on this film while our editor continues the video edits so thank you very much for any help that you can lend me. It is greatly appreciated.

Could be a difference in OS's causing the problem, but I can't say for sure. You could try using the OMF export option instead. I almost guarantee it will work.

What's the best way to send a project from fcp to my .mac video gallery ?

Hi
i have a small 14 minutes project i would like to post on .mac in my gallery.
iMovie can do it easily but thats to many steps from fcp to imovie and to .mac
is there a more direct way of transferring movies ( projects ) ?

You don't send projects from FCP to .mac.
Export the movie using a reasonable compression for internet playback.
Open up your .mac iDisk folder and drag the exported file to your movies folder on the iDisk
Open up .mac, create a web page and link your movie. I suppose iWeb does this as well but have never used the program.
If you want more help, try the .mac forum.
Good luck,

Hey Patrick, why won't Motion open when I send my project from fcp?

I just started playing with motion... doing the tutorial. The first time I tried the tutorial, it worked fine. The next time, the project didn't save, Motion didn't open.
I tried the usual, repaired permissions, trashed the prefs. But so far, nothing.
(By the way, I just figured you would be the first person to read and respond to my question... you practically own this forum.)
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim and All-
I have the same problem at the same point in the same tutorial. The other tutorials may be better, but I am concerned that, being new to FCS, I am missing functionality I didn't know I should have. Like the commercial said, I don't know enough to know what I don't know about. I am coming over from PremPro and AE, and I am impressed with the wealth of built in features. I don't care for the idea of reinstalling the OS and all of FCS, but if it helps... If there are any answers to this issue, I would be glad to know. Thanks to all-

Send part of audio file, not the entire file, from FCP to STP

Is there an easy way to send only part of an audio file to STP as an audio file project from FCP 5.1.2?
Everything that I've tried so far always sends the entire audio file for processing in STP.
1) using the blade tool to slice the audio
2) creating a subclip of a piece of audio
3) setting in/out points in both the timeline and the viewer
I realize that I could export the piece of audio and then import that into FCP and then send that to STP, but that is a lot of work.
Is there an easier way?
Thanks,
Richard

Scoring Markers from FCP to STP?

Hi:
I am trying to move markers from a FCP sequence to and STP multi-track project, but no matter how I do it - Export for STP, Export to QT etc, then import the moview into WTP - I get no orange scoring markers in STP. If I Send to STP, - no orange scoring markers in STP Any suggestions?
Thanks - Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
It seems to work for me. Here's what I'm doing.
First, it appears that the markers are only seen in STP when they are added to the quicktime file (via export to quicktime or for Soundtrack from FCP).
In FCP
-Add a marker to the timeline (with no clips selected, press "m" to add a marker at the playhead, then mark->markers->edit to get the marker edit window and click on the [Add Scoring Marker], then click [ok] (the markers should show up on the FCP timeline ruler)
-Export the new quicktime with scoring markers (e.g. File->export->QuickTime Movie... or File->Export->For Soundtrack...), and make sure that under Markers you select "Audio Scoring Markers" -- for somereason this is the only setting that works (selecting "All Markers" actually seems to include all markers except scoring markers. then click [Save].
Then, in STP:
-Open a multitrack project
-Drag the newly created quicktime movie (with the scoring markers) into the video window.
-Now you should see the markers.
Note: How to get a multitrack project with scoring markers
Since, the scoring markers do not come across in a send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project, here's what I do:
-In FCP: perform the send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project
-In FCP: export the movie as described above (except that I select "Include:Video only" on the QuickTime export screen)
-In STP: Open the multitrack project that was sent from FCP, then drag the quicktime movie created with mscoring markers into the video window of the multitrack project
Now you should have the multitrack Project sent from FCP with scoring markers.
I hope that helps

When sending to Color from FCP, my video is mostly black, with some green highlights.

I have a sequence of ProRes 422 (LT) and I'm trying to send to Color from FCP, however, when the project opens, the video shows up as mostly black, with most highlights green, blue and red -- but 90% of the frame is completely black. The weirdest part is, in the Color timeline, I can see the thumbnail for the video and it looks just fine.
Currently, I have a 2010 Mac Mini with 4gb of RAM and it's hooked up to my monitor through the HDMI port. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I just got the 2010 Mac Mini -- but my previous Mini was the early 2009 model with only 2gb of RAM and Color ran just fine. Any help/suggestions?

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio t

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file?
The manual tells me that to export multiple audio tracks, File>Export>QT Movie has it's Config pop-up menu in the Audio Settings area of the General tab of the Sequence Settings. Well, that's set for 4 discrete channels, but the QT export settings only allow for 2 mono or 1 stereo output, and that's what I get when I try it. What it says in the manual just doesn't happen.
Exporting via Compressor, on the other hand, has an abundance of choices of 4-track outputs, none of which are labelled as anything resembling 'discrete'. Would any of those 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line? As I am monitoring for this task on a 2-track audio system, I cannot confirm exactly what I am getting when I use any of those settings.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
John

Call me naive, but I've not heard of splitting the stereo pairs like this before.
What broadcaster? (perhaps one of our EU regulars will drop in...)
You can do all sorts of pairing but it is coincident tracks pairing- eg 1/2 + 3/4
Sorry I can't offer anything.

How do i take a project from FCP to DVD so it plays on a DVD Player

Help, i need to export a project from FCP in a format which will play on through a UK DVD player and TV. What format do i export to ?
I then understand i need to import this into DVD Studio Pro set it up to Loop and then burn to DVD R, is this correct ?
Help please
Hillster

Export QT/Current Settings/Self Contained/Audio and Video.
Drop it into Compressor and choose the DVD preset that matches the total number of minutes of video and also use dolby2 audio.
Import into DVD SP.
Delete the menu in the graphic view. Set the track to first play and loop or end jump to itself.
Drop the video and audio assets into that track.

Import project from FCP 6 to FCP 10

I can probably answer this myself, but is there any way to open project from FCP 6 in FCP 10? Can't export as an XML because I no longer have FCP 6.

YYou will need to find someone with your version or FCP7.

If you failed to maintain a backup copy, then you would have to import the disks again.

My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get. I have and ipad and an iphone. I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc. Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there. Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
