Trying to import FCP 7 (XML) but chanels out of sync

Hi,
I just exported a project from FCP to Premiere Pro CS6. It looked like it worked and the sequences were there OK but when I play back I get problems with audio. The right chanel is in sync but the left is massivly out (over a second I think).
I am using Premiere Pro CS6.
Any ideas?

Well now that I look at all the clips in FCP more closely I see some clips from the same tape are in sync and others are out of sync. And one section of tape which I captured twice was in sync on one clip and out of sync on the other. So it can't be the tapes.
Maybe the sync problem is caused by not coordinating the tape playing and FCP capturing properly every time! So I will try re-capturing the problem sections of tape.

Importing FCP XML

importing FCP XML, I get the error "The importer reported a generic error", Why? How do I import correctly? I did file> import, but got the error I noted.

Hi,
I am having a similar problem. I am trying to transfer FCP7 projects to Premiere CC. I did this once today with success. Exported xml from FCP and imported to Premiere without issue.
Later today I updated Premiere CC and my other Creative Cloud software. Since then I am having difficulty with this. I am performing the same steps and even tried importing through the media browser as suggested above. My error message suggests that something was corrupted. I checked out the path the message was showing me and there is no such file and I don't see why there would be. I have all the scratch disks set to a external hard drive.
I have attached a screen shot. Thank you!

CANNOT IMPORT FCP .XML FILE INTO PREMIERE PRO CS5

Hi,
Camera used:-Sony Pmw Ex3
Footage       :- XDCAM sp(1440 * 1080i) PAL
Edited in      :-final cut pro 7
Error            :- failed to import .xml file into premiere pro cs5
I tried to import the .xml file into premiere CS5 ,it asked for the media files to relink .whn i linked the .mp4 files it showed the error messege "The selected file cannot be linked becouse it has 2 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s).
then i tried to relink the .mov instead of .mp4 file (which i used in final cut pro on apple machine)i got the error "Codec missing or unavailable"
what should i do???..i almost done all the editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
Good luck,

How to import FCP XML to FCPX?

The only problems people seem to be having is importing FCP XML into Adobe or other third party software. I can't even import it from one computer with FCPX to another computer with FCPX!!
The following error message occurs when I try to import the XML file;
The document "project name.fcpxml" could not be opened. The location is not available.
In fact I get the same error message when re importing the fcpxml file into the project that created it!
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I can now import the fcpxml from one computer to another HOWEVER I still have a big problem.
The footage that I shot was 1280 x 720 at 50fps - so I can create a smooth slo mo in post. In my 'original' project, I am usiing a 1280 timeline with a 25fps base so that when I 'retime' and 'conform speed' I get exactly what I want - the 50fps shot playing back at 25fps, thus creating slow motion.
When I export the xml and import it into another computer, there is a problem - The timeline is correct - 25fps 720p resolution HOWEVER the media that was previously 50fps 720p is now 25fps 1920p....
How/why does this happen and how can it be fixed?
Presumably it is xml import settings but I'm so far unable to achieve this...

can you disable the caching of metadata, restart OIM server and then try importing the xml.

I recently tried to import 2 CDs but on one, only the first 4 songs imported and on the second, only the first 6 imported. The CDs work fine in a CD player. Any suggestions?

Rip the CDs with another program on your computer, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library. (If you use Windows Media Player for this purpose, make sure the Rip Setting is on MP3, or else it will default to a useless format known as WMA.)

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

Hello AMfromWS
With OS X Lion, you do have what is called a Recovery HD and it will allow you to reinstall Mac OS X. You can also use Activity Monitor to check to see if iTunes is still open in the background and you can quit it.

"Not Responding" when importing FCP XML

I'm trying to import a final cut XML file and it crashes everytime it gets to importing the files... Any tips or suggestions?

Thank you both! I will try again tonight!

The project conversion has a limited number of things that it can translate from FCP to PPro. Straight edits and simple effects and transitions shouldn't be a problem, but there have been issues with things like FCP's "Slug" and empty gaps in your FCP sequence. General practice has been to replace those sequence items with some sort of "physical" filler, like a graphic file that is simply a flattened black solid.
Also, check out http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSd9957a95a81082eb28f05af5126718c47be-800 0.html for more particulars about what transfers and how it's mapped in Premiere. I've moved relatively simple edits from FCP to Premiere with no problems, so it does work; it's really just a matter of finding out what is not jiving with the project transfer.

Trying to import from scanner, but only get the wizard and I need the advanced screen....

Hi,
I just installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 (I was using Elements 6 before).
I am trying to import a photo from my scanner, but am having some trouble. I need to import from the "advanced" screen I was using before, but now I am only getting the option to import through the wizard.
In Elements 10, when I click import I only have the option to "Frame From Video", or "WIA Support". When I pick the WIA Support, it takes me to the wizard.
In Elements 6, when I click import my scanner was actually listed and that is where I went to the advanced preview/scan screen somehow related to my scanner (it said Epson Scan at the top of the window).
How do I get my scanner to be listed in the import menu so that I can get to the Epson preview/scan window?
Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

Oh, I spoke too soon. I just found out that I had to move the twain file from the optional plug in folder to the regular plug in folder. Everything is working great now.

Trying to import RAW files but receiving "some import operation were not performed" error message.

Trying to import RAW files (from Canon 5D Mark III) but I'm receiving the following error message "some import operations were not performed". I am trying to copy to my Seagate backup drive, however the only destination it will let me copy to is my Lexar flash drive (where I don't want to store them!). I've checked all the file permissions--everything says "read and write". Not sure where to start I recently switched to an iMac where the problems started (never any issues importing into Lightroom on my PC--just slowness). Please help!

NIKON D3300
The Nikon D3300 Raw format is not yet supported in Lightroom 5 (currently 5.3).
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Raw file formats are proprietary to each camera manufacturer and specific to each camera model. Adobe's Camera Raw engine (used by both Adobe Camera Raw - as a plugin to Photoshop - and Lightroom) must be constantly updated with every new camera make and model which arrives on the market in order to read and edit Raw files from that camera.
Adobe has added support for the D3300 to Camera Raw 8.4 which is about to be released. It is a Release Candidate (RC status) at the moment. So D3300 Raw support will probably be added to the next soon-to-be-released Lightroom update (5.4).
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-4-cc/?tabID=details#tabTop
In the meantime, you can download the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.4
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-4.html
Using the DNG converter, you can then convert the D3300 Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in Lightroom 5.3.
Once Lightroom 5.4 is released (assuming it also has D3300 support) the DNG conversion will no longer be required.

Trying to import as MP3 but showing up as AIFF

That should work.
Can you give more details?

New to aperture, trying to import .nef files but get error

Hi, I'm new to Aperture and I have a Nikon D7100. I'm trying to import my photos which were shot in .NEF format (Nikon RAW) butI get an error message. When I insert the SD card, I see the thumbnails. I made a new project and them clicked on "import checked" but it gives me a black square with an erro that the format is not supported? Help!

When you are shooting RAW with your camera, keep in mind, that not all raw formats for your camera are supported.
The list of supported cameras (OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats) has a footnote for the Nikon D810†:
†Nikon RAW L format only.
So don't change the compression settings in your camera. There is not yet a corresponding list for Yosemite, so I am not sure, if the same restrictions still apply.

Importing FCP XMLs in Adobe Premier Pro CC

Yesterday I exported an older FCP7 project to XML for some client revisions. Unfortunately Adobe Premiere Pro CC would not import the project. I still have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on my system, and was able to import the project there. Does Premiere Pro CC no longer support xml import or is this a problem in the new version?

Thank you for the response. Here is the error message I get in Premiere Pro CC. To reiterate, I am able to import the xml in Premiere Pro CS6--just not CC.

Large .dv file plays fine in Quicktime, but audio out of sync in iMovie??

hi,
i'm trying to convert some old analog 8mm tapes to digital. to do this, i'm using a sony trv320 camcorder with firewire feeding iMovie '08. i've imported an entire 2 hour tape into iMovie, and everything is fine except that at some point, the audio gets out of sync from the picture. i've opened the huge 24 GB .dv file in Quicktime, and everything is in sync, so I assume this is some kind of problem related to iMovie. i've done lots of searching on this and have made sure that the camcorder is sending 16 bit audio out. i also tried using mpeg streamclip to split the huge .dv file into smaller parts, but this resulted in the same audio sync problem (which is weird).
is my only option to manually import my tapes 10 minutes at a time? please say no
the most puzzling thing about this is that the huge .dv file is perfectly in sync all the way through when playing back in Quicktime.
i'm at a loss!! hope someone can help.

I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2.
Double check to make sure that you edited in Anamorphic and also encoded as 16:9 video not 4:3 - also make sure you set the Track to 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP.
What encoding rates did you use for the video and audio? Sometimes if the rates are too high it can cause drifts.
On the audio side, did you export the FCP as self contained and make the audio AC3? Also you can try just exporting the audio as an AIF and encode that as an AC3.
How did you burn the DVD (Speed and Media used?) Sometimes bad burns/media can cause issues.
