Trimming XML export from FCP

Is it possible to trim the sequence XML export? FCP exports the entire XML sequence even when using Mark In/Out. I just need portions from the sequence to facilitate text extraction from my sequence chapters... if it helps to know why. Thanks.

Duplicate the sequence...trim out what you don't want to export. Then export the XML.

  • Audio slipping on XML export to FCP?

    I've edited a project is Premiere CS5.5, and now I want to bring it into FCP for some tweaking.  When I export the project using 'XML for FCP' the video comes through fine, but all the audio clips are 10 seconds later than they should be.  I've tried a lot of variations on XML exporting and importing between the two programs and nothing works.  The sequence in Premiere is 'DSLR' (the footage is from a Canon 5D).  I've tried making a new timeline with different sequence settings and exporting, as well as trying a lot of different sequence import settings in FCP. (FCP is 7.0.3)
    I cant just export the audio as one track, because I need it editable in FCP.  Also, other projects have exported via XML just fine, so it seems to just be this one file with the problem. I even tried it on another machine and it had the same results. Is there a setting somewhere that I missed?  Is there a standard sequence setting for importing Canon 5D footage from XML into FCP?
    Is it just a bug?  This is a professional job, and I'm running behind because of the week I spent trying everything I could think of to fix this problem.  Anyone have any idea?

    " Do you have any specific questions we might answer?"
    Yes, as I stated in my first post-
    1. The audio is slipping 10 seconds per clip on an XML export from Premiere to FCP.  Has anyone has this problem and know how to solve it?
    also
    2. Is there a tutorial somewhere that details how to keyframe audio levels per audio clip on a time line (not just a whole track at once)
    If anyone has any ideas on either, I'd really appreciate it.

    Exporting via Compressor may be recommended but it is slow and doesn't fully support all available filters, etc.
    Try exporting the timeline as a QT Movie (the "normal" export) using Current Settings and them submit the resultant clip to Compression. Works for me...

  • Export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro?

    Is it possible to export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro? If not, what is the preferred file format because my exported quicktime files come up as "incompatible format" when I try to add them into my DVD project. Any help is appreciated.

    You need to encode audio as well from Compressor. You'll have 2 files - audio and video.
    Here's a tutorial:

  • Exporting from FCP to DVD

    Hey
    Just wondering if I can get some advise. I need to export my project from final cut pro to DVD but just wondering what the best way to do this would be to get the best quality DVD. (This is for a company to take out to potential clients to sell what the company does - so it needs to look good!)
    My project is no longer than 5 mins
    1920 x 1080 - 1080i (16:9)
    Field Dominance: None
    frame rate 25
    I have Final Cut Studio latest version.
    I'm trying out a few options at the moment using compressor - best quality - so we'll see what these look like, but I'm not sure what all the settings should be set at.
    Any advise on what you think will be best would be great.
    Thanks

    Wouldn't use Quicktime conversion - no need. Just export from FCP as Quicktime Movie at current settings.
    In my experience, changing the field dominance from interlaced to progressive can cause stuttering particularly in motion graphics - this might not be an issue if you're laying to tape for broadcast but when you convert back to interlaced for SD DVD it can look very ugly.
    In any case, at the very least, you need to be using a Kona card or IOHD to do this type of conversion properly - and really, if you want progressive you should shoot progressive.

  • PAL files exported from FCP don't display

    This is a strange one... SD PAL uncompressed files exported from FCP 6.03 won't display, you just see black. HD files are fine, as are SD PAL files exported a while ago - prior to a recent pro apps or QT update possibly? As a workaround, if they exported via compressor instead of by 'export quicktime' in FCP, they work fine. Shake is 4.0 since 4.1 doesn't want to display via a decklink.
    Any ideas? This seems to be a new one.

    Does the computer your using to view this video have Final Cut Pro installed?

  • Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

    Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

    What arrow?
    Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
    If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.

  • What format to export from FCP for iDVD?

    I am having trouble coming from FCP to iDVD. Material was shot HDV on a Sony Z5 and I downconverted to DV to edit on FCP. I make a Quick Time Movie of the edit (as DV PAL) but the pans are all juddery. How should I export from FCP to stop the juddering on pans?

    BTW, this is the mother of all FAQs here Sadly the FAQ section of the forum decribes just the problem, not any solutions. And searching the forums doesn't always work either.

  • Best way to export from FCP for website

    I've been reading around about this and am not getting a clear idea of what to do...
    I have some short sequences in FCP (longest is 2 minutes) that I want to post individually on my new website (that I'm just learning about).
    I want to export them in a way that is a small file but that looks and sounds good, and also that can be played by most or all computers.
    So I guess that is two questions: settings for export from FCP, and how to control how it will be viewed.
    Thanks so much, anyone with ideas or experience!

    We don't know what format you are dealing with, ratio etc.
    However, some short answers for you.
    For best quality at a considerable small file size the choice is, yet again, H.264 (Require QT7 or higher. For universal compatibility you may need flash conversion).
    FCP main menu>File>Export>QT Conversion>Options> the higher the bit rate the better the quality but the bigger becomes the file size. Size : i.e 320x240 if 4:3; 480x270 if 16x9). Choose AAC (Not PCM) as sound format (192 target bit rate).

  • Exporting from FCP and using Compressor at the same time?

    Is it ok to export from FCP and use compressor at the same time? I am exporting a Self-Contained, Current Setting Quicktime Movie, and using Compressor to compress a similar HDV file to Mpeg2?

    Only in FCP 7.

  • What should I use to export from FCP to DVDSP?

    I'm sorry if this question is too basic, but I've searched past discussions and read the manual, and can't seem to find the answer. I am trying to put a nearly hour-long movie I made onto a DVD, in order to have hundreds of duplicates made. I'm using DVD SP, and I had been exporting my movie from FCP to a Quicktime movie file, then importing the Quicktime file into DVD SP. Then recently I came across something online that said you should actually be exporting from FCP to Compressor, then to DVD SP. I've never used Compressor before, so I have no idea what to do, or if I even should be doing it. The video was fine when I exported to Quicktime, but I of course want to have the best video quality possible.. so if there's a way to keep the video at the highest quality possible (higher than when using Quicktime), please let me know (and if it could be explained as simple as possible, I would appreciate that).

    Hi Ryan,
    I'm relatively new to this too but you're on the right track. I would export to Compressor.
    There are various settings i.e. mpeg2 fast encode, high quality 60min, 120min, widescreen, 4:3 etc and all dependant upon what you want your end result to be.
    You'll need to choose your format - I suggest mpeg2 - 60min High Quality Encode > your destination for both the video and audio > 'submit'.
    You should end up with a file that resembles *My Movie.m2v*
    Then import that file into DVDSP into the assets pane and you're away.
    Good luck!

  • Problem exporting from FCP using compressor

    Out of the blue - I'm getting batch failures trying to export from FCP for use in a DVD. Immediately after selecting compressor for export, I get an error reading "That file already exists", and a new tab appears in the media browser with a lengthy character string. Compressor opens fine, and I select Best Quality 4:3 encoding for video and aiff48 for audio. When the batch is submitted - it promptly fails and blames FCP for generating an error.
    Did all kinds of restarts and work arounds to no avail. The promising news is that this error seems to occur only when exporting from FCP through Compressor.
    My work-around is to export a QT movie of the piece, quit FCP, launch Compressor, and then import the QT for batching.
    Hope this helps anyone else in similar situations

    Hi:
    How long is your movie?
    The best workflow is FCP > Compressor > DVDSP.
    You can encode your timeline directly to get MPEG2 video and Dolby 2 (AC3) audio files. Then import those in DVDSP and author your DVD.
    Using Compressor you control the full encoding process. You can test with small parts of your movie (those where you got problems with iDVD) and find the best encoding options fopr your footage.
    Of course the DVDSP learning curve is longer than iDVD but once you learned ir you probably never go back. Like iMovie and FCP.
    To give you detailed info about what encoding settings to use you must post some info about your FCP project.
    Hope that helps !

  • 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.

  • Knowing result of XML export from ExtendScript

    Does anyone have experience in tracking the status messages for an XML export from within ExtendScript ? One of my scripts publishes a book and all its chapters to XML and needs to report on possible errors that occurred. The export also includes running an XSLT for post processing. I can see the status messages in the console panel but I need to know the status from within the script, so that it can handle possible error situations elegantly.
    Ciao

    Hi Jang,
    you can use FA_errno after your export, here is an example with an import :
        var newImport = doc.Import(textLoc, newFile, importParams, retParams); // Import graphic from picture
        if(FA_errno != 0) {
            message = "Export aborted : Unable to import file : " + newFile;
            if(FA_errno == Constants.FE_BadParameter) message += "\r\rError N° : " + FA_errno + ", Bad parameter\r\rCheck your structured applications definitions";
            else if(FA_errno == Constants.FE_SystemError) message += "\r\rError N° : " + FA_errno + ", System error\r\rCheck your permissions on folder or on files you are trying to overwrite";
            else message += "\r\rError N° : " + FA_errno;
    Hope it helps,
    Bye

  • Best settings to Export from FCP to iWeb?

    In the past I have exported from FCP to a QT that I import into iMovie and then export from iMovie to iWeb...
    is there a simpler way to get video to iWeb?
    I prefer not to edit in iMovie, so what FCP settings are best for iWeb? I'll ask this on the FCP board as well.
    Thanks
