Trouble with the round trip from Soundtrack Pro 2 to Final Cut Pro

I have edited a home movie together. I then have sent the sequence to Color for grading and then after completing the Color changes and Rendering. I sent it back to Final Cut Pro. It starts out working fine but during the transfer process it stops at somewhere between 50% and 60%. It is during the "Importing XML Data" phase. It just sits there and does not change and I have to force quit to get out of it. The exact same thing happens when I try to round trip from Soundtrack Pro 2 back to Final Cut Pro. So I am unable to make use of the changes I make in these programs.
This is a round trip process that I have successfully made many times before. Nothing has changed. I am working in Final Cut Studio 2 with the latest updates on an Intel Mac. Any advice on how to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence.  Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files.   I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right.  Here's what I've done to force the issue.  Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp.  Create a new project.  import the audio in the new project.  And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project. 
Good luck

    Hard to say where the XML interpretation is getting lost... That it stalls at 60% could mean a number of things. If you have a cuts and dissolves simple timeline, that should not be an issue. Something is causing a corruption, though and it could be a media type, a filename (which can break folder paths), a filter or motion tab which generates an invalid value, or a recompression that violates the sequence settings.
    At this point, I start cutting up the original sequence and roundtripping it until it works, or breaks and then try to figure out what's different. Often there's something hidden like an imbedded recompressor in a nested sequence or something like that, that will allow COLOR will load, grade, render, and then not know what to do to re-write the export XML, or re-imbed it illegally.
    There are a lot of things that FCP does that editors take for granted that COLOR utterly cannot cope with -- but may deceptively carry along and then crash on the next step.

  • How do I get the compressed files from MPEG streamline into Final Cut Pro X?

    I'm on a deadline and I'm sitting here stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Streamclip is a converter tool.
    FCPX is an editor.
    so, what do you want to accomplish? or, is the question?
    If you like to convert any sources, choose in Streamclips' many export settings the codecs corresponding to your Project settings in FCPX, probably proRes + resolution + framerate ....

    Right click one of yur clips in the event browser and choose Transcode Media. Make a test project and playthat clip. See whether that solves your lag.

  • Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

    I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Sebastian

    The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

  • New Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro Updates...

    There's new updates for Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro on Software Update.
    They seem to have fixed the problem I was having with one of my giant old projects. I used to have to open one of the audio projects before my multitrack project would open, but now it opens just fine. So far so good!

    Hi Collings,
    Looks like there are two threads about the recent FCP & STP updates, so I'm posting my findings here, too.
    I just found another thing that appears to be fixed in STP 1.0.2:
    Batch normalize is working:
    I have a bunch of aif files that I want to normalize. I opened one in the waveform editor, applied process->normalize (level=0dB), then selected File->Save as Applescript--this creates an Applescript droplet. Then I can then grab a whole bunch of audio files and drop them all onto this droplet and they all get normalized correctly. This is a huge timesaver for me. Before this update, using this approach to batch-normalize a set of files seemed to deliver unpredictable results, but I just ran a whole set of files through, and they all played back with a peak level of 0dB (and no clipping).
    Here are the other things that I've noticed so far with STP 1.0.2:
    Automation:
    -In STP 1.0.1, Automation was not applied correctly on project sample rates that were not supported by the hardware (e.g. play a 96K project on a laptop built-in 48K audio interface and the automation was late by 2X) -- this is fixed!!! YAY!
    -STP 1.0.1 did not handle long automation ramps across long periods of silence (it would sometimes cause a glitch at the start of the clip right after the automation ramp--there is even a support article about this)--it seems like they fixed this one, too.
    Sample rate switching:
    -I see an option in general preferences to allow me to disable the "Switch hardware sample rate to match document", and with this disabled, I no longer get audible clicks from my audio interface when I switch tabs. Plus, switching tabs seems faster to me.
    Realtime effects and automation in audio file projects:
    -They've added a warning to inform folks about the need to bounce realtime effects and automation to an action--if you are in an audio file project with realtime effects that have not been bounced to an action and you try to save, you get a warning message.
    Has anyone else noticed any other fixes or changes in this update?

  • Upgrading from Premiere Pro to Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me if there is any way for Apple to allow me to crossover and upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro to Final Cut Pro?
    Our company has a full version of Adobe Video Collection 2.5 (Windows Only). I am now working fully on a Mac Pro, so need to get a copy of Final Cut Studio, and if there is any way to upgrade, instead of having to buy a full copy i would be happy to use it.
    If anyone knows of a way to do this, could you let me know?
    Thanks,
    Steven.
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Dual-Core Intel Xeon   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2Gb RAM

    There is no crossgrade option for Adobe to Apple software.
    You could always run your Adobe software under XP in Boot camp or Parallels on the MacPro. If you don't/can't do that, then it's time to have a chat with your line of credit banker.
    good luck.

  • From iTunes Store to Final Cut Pro

    How do open a song I downloaded from iTunes Store, into Final Cut Pro?
    I tried Opening it, in Final Cut, and I tried importing it. But it comes out as silence. Final Cut knows how long the song is, but that is it.
    Then can I edit the song in Final Cut?

    You can't and shouldn't.
    Your license doesn't permit it.

  • How to put on the files of the camera Sony Avchd hdr-td10 for Final Cut Pro 6.0.6?

    Sorry for my English, I am French. I would like to know if the camera Sony Avchd hdr-td10 is compatible with Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 to List and Transferer and if it is necessary to install a particular codec? This camera makes of the 3D but I specify that my rushes are in 2D. Thank you in advance.

    Read this. (Also available in French from the "Aide" menu bar item)
    If the files are not recognized because Sony made some changes to the AVCHD format, MPEG Streamclip (free) might be able to help. Clipwrap ($50) will definitely work.

  • Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi,
    I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
    But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
    Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

    Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

  • Exporting a JPEG in 4:3 from video footage in Final Cut pro is impossible

    I'm trying to export a screen grab from final cut pro as a jpg. It's easy to export a jpg image, but as far as I can tell, it is completely impossible to export it as a 4:3 aspect ratio image. My video footage is all 4:3 but all of the jpg images I try to export come out squished into 16:9. This is driving me crazy!
    Here is what I'm doing . . .
    Export >Using Quicktime Conversion >Format (Still Image)
    From their I've tried every setting you can imagine and FCP still obstinately refused to allow me to export a jpg image in it's true proportions.
    Please prove me wrong.

    Awesome! You rock moblie! Thanks a lot for the info. I was wondering why the image proportions were correct in photoshop (ie. 720x480, I thought those were 4:3 dimensions, but I guess it's just resolution?). I adjusted the image in photoshop to be 720x534 pixels and it looks fine now.
    I realize this isn't the smartest question in the world, but why isn't 720x480 a 4:3 aspect ratio? I don't really understand aspect ratio all that well (as you can tell).
    Thanks again!

  • I am using HD clips from an EHD in Final Cut Pro X.

    Upon importing one clip to Final Cut pro, should there be 4 clips on the EHD in the Final Cut Events Folder that look like the following?

    What about in Final Cut itself?  I have clips in the Event Library that look like both of these below.

    I am asking this question because I have merged too different events taken of the same event on the same day with two different cameras, and when I do that I get problems with missing red clips with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark ! 
    Even if they aren't related, if someone could explain the reason for the four types of different clips above I would appreciate it.  I realize it could be as simple as "that's what is produced on the EHD when you import clips and select the Analysis files for Color Stabilization, etc.
    Thanks, Tracy

    Since I have an 8TB Pegasus EHD that is rapidly filling up to the point that its almost full, there shouldn't be any problem to go ahead and delete the Original Media Folder after I have an Optimized Folder for that same footage is that correct?
    I can now use this "Optimized folder" to produce films in the Project LIbrary with music, transitions, titles, etc.?
    If I wanted to be redundant ( Engineering (of a component) not strictly necessary to functioning but included in case of failure in another component) I could put all my "Original Media Folders" on a different EHD in case I had EHD failure. Do you agree?
    I couldn't resist putting the definition in parentheses because I couldn't believe how perfectly it fit!!
