What is the best way to send a FCP 7 sequence to After Effects CS5?

I am having trouble sending a film sequence that was done in Final Cut Pro 7 to Adobe After Effects CS5. I have downloaded a free script from Popcorn Island, but all it seems to do is make it unable to add transitions in the AE timeline as seen below. Is it safe to say to go with software as Automatic Duck?
i really just want to use AE to color, and add transitions. Thank you for reading.

Here's an article that compares various methods.
You can import Final Cut Pro projects into Premiere Pro and then bring that project's components into After Effects.

  • What is the best way to send a file?

    i am writing a program and i want to transfer a file from a client class to a server class... what is the best way to do that?
    convert the file to bytes using the following
    File file=new File("jobs.xml");
               byte buffer[]=new byte[(int)file.length()];
               try {
                    BufferedInputStream input=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("jobs.xml"));
                    input.read(buffer,0,buffer.length);
                    input.close();
               } catch(Exception e) {//DIORTHOSE TA MSGS
                  System.out.println("reading jobs.xml->buffer: "+e.getMessage());
                  e.printStackTrace();
               firstServerRef.translationService(theCallbackObjectRef, buffer);for a reason i dont like that i am reading the file again to put it in the buffer and send the buffer... are my worries reasonable or not? is there any other better way to do that?

    Use a smaller buffer, repeatedly read and
    write, and print the exception's stack trace.
    What do you mean by reading again, by the way? I only
    see you reading the file once.hmm you mean use a smaller buffer and call the function with the smaller buffer many times in a while?
    the client and the server are not on a single machine and i want to call the function only once... could you clarify the thing that you said..
    yes you are correct that you see only one reading because i haven't pasted the rest of the code which is sth like...
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("jobs.xml");
               ObjectOutputStream out = xstream.createObjectOutputStream(fw);
         //      out.writeObject(new Jobb("ougk2", "Walnes",null));
              for(int i=0;i<nameOfServices.length;i++){
                   Jobb translationJob=new Jobb();
                   //find the service !
                 NameComponent nc = new NameComponent(nameOfServices, " ");
    // Resolve the object reference in naming
    NameComponent path[] = {nc};
    //create a ref for the servant of the service
    ServiceOperations theRemoteObjRef = ServiceHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path));
    // JobOperations theRemoteObjRef = JobHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path));
    translationJob.setObjServerRef(theRemoteObjRef.toString());
    if(i==0){ //this is the first job
         translationJob.setForTranslation(wordForTranslation);
         firstServerRef=theRemoteObjRef;
         out.writeObject(translationJob);
         out.close();
         File file=new File("jobs.xml");
              byte buffer[]=new byte[(int)file.length()];
              try {
                   BufferedInputStream input=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("jobs.xml"));
                   input.read(buffer,0,buffer.length);
                   input.close();
              } catch(Exception e) {//DIORTHOSE TA MSGS
         System.out.println("reading jobs.xml->buffer: "+e.getMessage());
         e.printStackTrace();
              firstServerRef.translationService(theCallbackObjectRef, buffer);
    which i believe is bad....

  • What is the best way to send multiple pdf files to my ipad

    what is the best way or app to send multiple pdf files to my ipad, so that I can then combine them into one folder

    I have the app Readdle Docs. It allows you to move PDF files to your device and to move them around on your device. Might check it out. ( I think there's an iPad version of the app, but I have the iPhone version and it works, just not as pretty)
    THere's also Goodreader, but I don't have experience with it to know if it has folder abilities.

    what is the best way to do it? sned 2000 emails or to send 20 emails with 1000 recp. ?
    is there any limitation on the number of recp in BCC?
    10x alot Yonatan

    is there any limitation on the number of recp in BCC?
    mail server you are using may be the limiting factor. However, most mail server handle 2000 recp. You will get smtp error 552 if the mail server cant handle 2000 recipients.

  • What is the best way to send large, HD video files from the iPad?

    Hello,
    My department is looking to purchase between 50 and 150 new iPads. We hold conferences where participants take short, 3-minute videos of themselves in situations they have been trained for. The idea was that after they have taken the video, they could simply email these videos to themselves, negating the need to hook the device up to a computer, transfer the video over to a flash drive, and ensure that drive gets back to the right person.
    Now that I have the first one, I'm finding any video longer than 45s or so can't be sent via email because it's too large.
    Are you kidding?
    The file I was just able to send was 7.5MB. That's the biggest video I can send from this thing? Why even give us the ability to take HD video if we can't *do* anything with it?
    But, I digress.
    What I'm looking for is the best way to get video off the iPads and into the hands of our participants. Are there apps on the App Store which might convert whatever video we take to an emailable size? I thought about setting everyone up with Apple IDs and having them use iMessage since there is no limit on file size, but of course you must own an Apple device in order to do that, and it still doesn't solve getting it on their computers.
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You could try uploading them to a joint dropbox account that they could then download them from....but how fast it is will depend on the internet connection available.

  • What is the best way to send auto mail with excel(generated by query) attachment?

    Hello,
    Need to generate first data from stored procedure and the save it to an excel file and then send mail with the same excel file.
    So am searching for the best way so that i could do all process in a single task with daily or monthly schedule.
    As per my understanding, we could it via SSIS and by sql server using
    sp_send_dbmail.
    But i have to generate excel file first by stored procedure and then end it by mail.
    So please suggest the best way to accomplish all task in a single task.
    Thanks
    Ajay 

    Hi Ajay,
    As shown in the blog mentioned by Syed, to delete records from the Excel file, you need to use Update OpenRowset command to update the corresponding rows to blank.
    Alternatively, you can also use Derived Column Transformation or Conditional Split Transformation after the OLE DB Source so that you can replace the target rows with NULL before exporting to Excel destination or just redirect the expected records to the
    Excel destination.
    Then, in the Control Flow, you can add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel file by setting it as the attachment. The following screenshot is for your reference:

  • What is the best way to send out mass emails on an iMac?

    We have been using a different system and sending out emails on a PC.  I now need to send out a newsletter to our database and, having used one of the templates on the iMac need to send it out on my system.  Can anyone advise on the best way to do this?  I have updated the iMac to OS Yosemite 10.10.1 version

    Create a group contact in Apple Contacts.
    For examples, you create a group called business with as many email addresses inside. On your Apple Mail, you just type business, you will be able to send out the group emails out!!!

  • What's the best way to send uncommon sized images for printing?

    One of the things I need to do occasionally is print an uncommon sized image. For example, I may crop part of an image as a 2x3 to fit in an odd picture frame, such as a Chrstimas ornament. However, most places I print (e.g. CVS) only print common sizes. In the past I've used Elements to create a blank new image in a common size and pasted my crop into it (which is a little tricky because you have to make sure the new image and the crop have the same resolution), but I'd like to be able to do this directly in Lightroom. What would be the best way to do this?

    1. Crop the image to the aspect ratio you want. If you wish to retain the cropped version for future use, make a Virtual Copy of it.
    2. In the Print module set the page size to the size you will be ordering from the lab.
    3. Make the cell dimensions the size you want the image to be. Set the margin sizes to position the image on the page as you wish.
    4. Set Print to: JPEG File, Resolution to 300 ppi, check Sharpness, set JPEG Quality and the color space to sRGB.
    5. Click on Print to File.

    Unless these are very small photos or few in number they should use a sharing service, DropBox is good but there are many others.

  • What's the best way to store old FCP projects & media?

    Hey
    I've started to accumulate more and more video content of client projects, but I don't want to delete it in case they come back a year later looking for an update on the video product I made them.
    So, what's he best way to store FCP projects and video files?
    I thought maybe a BluRay burner might do the trick.
    Any suggestions?
    Sam

    Since you're using RAW files you might peruse the DAM Forum to learn about possible other DAM (digital asset management) software and workflows. There is a wealth of information at that site.
    I useMedia Expression for my primary DAM application and iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, etc.

  • What is the best way I should restore or start over after a complete meltdown and loss of files?

    In May I moved all of my itunes content (movies, music, podcasts, app, books) to a networked attached storage device.  Long story short, recently I had problems with some content missing/being deleted.  Lacie, the hard drive mfg, told me the public share had become corrupted and I needed to delete it and start over.  Last night I appeared to have had a complete meltdown with the loss of most of my files, over 500gb of stuff.
    Luckily it's backed up (but one backup is now about 2 weeks old) and it's going to take about 2 days to restore.  I have it restoring to my desktop folder on my imac.  I'm concerned about all of the itunes library folders and stuff that are out there.  I'd ultimately like to get it restored back to the external hard drive.
    What is the best method?  I'm restoring just the content, not the various library files.  Should I uninstall Itunes and re-install it to try to start fresh, or just re-add the content?  
    I've already wasted a lot of time on this and I'm just looking to avoid more problems.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Anyone help with this?  
    I am restoring over 500gb to my local drive after a NAS was corrupted.  I'm very hesitant about putting stuff back out on the network drive again so i guess I may keep it on my local hard drive.  Currently, when I open itunes it has all of my old files remembered (just with exclamation points) and my playlists.  I'd love to keep that intact but point itunes to the correct files in a new location.
    Is it as simple as going to preferences and changing the location of the itunes folder once I have it in place?

  • What is the best way to match clip and sequence settings for real-time editing?

    I am a long time FCP user and trying to make the After Effects workflow a little smoother by utilizing the Adobe suite.
    One of the most valuable things I miss about FCP is that when I drop a clip in a blank sequence (no matter what the settings of the seq) it will ask if I want to match the settings of the clip. This ensures that no rendering is required to quickly edit the video in real-time.
    Is there a plugin or function in Premiere CS4 that I am missing that will afford me this feature? Currently i am doing everything I can to match the clip settings when creating a sequence, but sadly i'm still having to render the timeline to preview the edit.
    lh

    And in CS4, if there is not a matching Preset, you can choose the Desktop Preset, which will allow you to customize nearly every attribute to match your source footage. The name is a bit of a misnomer, but has been around for a long time. I would have called it the "Custom Preset," but Adobe never called.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I just learned something new about CS5 from Curt, because of your question - thanks!

  • What's the best way to send multiple objects with a message?

    I'm considering using an ObjectMessage and storing a Map as the object. Each
              of the objects I need to send will be bound in this Map. Is this the correct
              approach?
              Also, if this is the correct approach, where should I store the constants
              for the Map keys? If I put them in the MDB consumer, it ties the client to
              the consumer and vicea versa. I guess I could declare them in my main
              interface.
              Thanks,
              Bob
              

    OK.
              But for what it's forth, if you were to need to put a Map in an
              ObjectMessage, you might find that MapMessage gives you similiar (if not
              better) functionality, the resulting message will be smaller, and your
              system may perform better. The various implementations of java.util.Map are
              pretty hefty objects to serialize, whereas a MapMessage (at least, the
              MapMessage from BEA JMS) has been optimized to be pretty compact and fast.
              On the other hand, the only kinds of objects you can put in a MapMessage are
              Java primitive types (int, String, and so forth), whereas in a java.util.Map
              you can put any kind of object.

  • 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,
