Working with project files from higher FCP versions

Is it not possible to open project files in FCP 5.1 that were made in FCP 6?

Not directly.
Export using XML (2 or 3) from FCP6 and import that into 5.1.

Working with Raw files from newer camera in CS or CS2

I have a Canon 40d camera. I'm still using CS at home and CS2 at work.
In order to work with these files in these earlier versions of PS, I have to first convert them to DNG files. Though not a complete drag, it is a bit time-consuming. Am I sort of stuck with this unless I upgrade to CS3?
Also, (and I realize it may not be off topic), is there any particular reason Canon can't use the same type of RAW file for all the cameras, instead of a new RAW file type, or why have they not embraced DNG support?
Best, David

freedda,
I know you have probably read this many times before. But ACR in Photoshop CS3 is vastly improved. There are numerous new controls that provide you with much greater flexibility with your raw images. Unless there are other factors preventing you from upgrading, it is my opinion that you would find the upgrade well worth the investment.

Cannot open Project files from previous FCPX versions

Hello,
I'm currently on 10.0.8, and have not upgraded to 10.1.1. Here is my issue:
A documentary project I've been working on since 10.0.1 is not showing up in 10.0.8, and I'm wondering how to "manually" update the Project. I upgraded FCPX versions a few times while working on this Project (I think all the way up to 10.0.4), but then I stopped as I noticed it was negatively affecting parts of my project and making the application run slow (and Apple recommends you don't update versions while in the middle of a project). I finished that project, but now fast forward and I'm in 10.0.8 and I need to revisit that Project to make a few changes, but FCPX won't even recognize it. It successfully updated and recognizes the Events I used for this particular Project, but not the Project itself.
Any help/suggestions would be great.
Thank you!

Thanks Russ. After all this time, I actually solved the problem myself. I forgot that back 6 months ago, I renamed my Project file, from the default "CurrentVersion". I just came across another post that said you're not supposed to do that, so I changed my Project file back to "CurrentVersion" and now FCPX recognizes it. After all that toil, the answer was just too simple!!
Thanks.

Cannot import and work with the files from Canon 6D and Panasonic GH4

Thanks for your answer, but it is not really helpful. Perhaps my question was not exactly enough-sorry but my english is not in the best condition. I dont need trials I have some applications and my Intel MAC Pro 2009 is strong enough. For instance Phase One can read my RAW-pictures from my Canon 6D, but no RAW-file from the GH4. Finalcut Pro Vers 7.0.3 no chance to open Movies made with the GH4 and the AVCHD-codec, though the AVCHD-codecs from my old Canon Videocamera works perfect. Even movies with Mpg 4 H 264 are not recognized. Perhaps I need a special Converter App, for all my Converter Apps like Mpeg streamclip or Flip for MAC cannot read and convert the these files into RS 422.

Will the DNG files perform the same, meaning will I retain all the information that makes RAW important for processing?
Yes. That's why DNGs were invented. Adobe has put a lot of work into the DNG format for this very reason.
Raw files are proprietary and manufacturer specific. Raw formats change with every make and model of camera. Software must be updated for the new Raw format of every single camera. Adobe does an admirable job of upgrading Camera Raw for every new camera.
DNG is also a Raw format but it's open source and works in any software which can read the DNG format. If camera manufacturers used the DNG format instead of their own Raw format, you would not have to upgrade Elements 10. But they don't, and probably never will, so you must upgrade the Camera Raw plugin (and therefore Elements 10 since it's not compatible with the new Camera Raw) to read the new Raw format from the 6D or add another step to your workflow with conversion to DNG first.

How to work with raw files from Nikon D600 in Lightroom 3

I need to know how to process my raw files from my Nikon D 600 camera in Lightroom 3.6 and Photoshop 4?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Support for the D600 was added in Lightroom 4.2.
Updates are no longer released for Lightroom 3. The final update, 3.6, did not support the D600, so you cannot open raw files from this camera natively.
You can use the DNG Converter to change your NEF files into open source DNG files that will open in any version of Lightroom, including 3.

Help! Can't get DNG Recover Edges to work with RAW files from Olympus E-M5.

I've imported the RAWs into LR 4.4 (on a Mac), converted to DNG and run the plug in as directed.
Then I go into the develop module and select crop, then click "Reset."
Nothing happens!
What am I doing wrong?
I can see the missing image data in the import module, but can't recover it.

Thanks for your link but i don't think it has something to do with relinking libraries since i never had to to that on my first machine. I'm currently pursuing a different approach: I'm comparing the files used by ccpd and cups on both machines with each other. These are the results:
On the machine with working capt service:
http://pastebin.com/Fyif7zxz
http://pastebin.com/n0KQj14z
On the machine with defect capt service:
http://pastebin.com/rtUW5Gfm
http://pastebin.com/vh94E3Jv
One thing that i noticed is the two libraries resolv and nss which are used on the defect machine. Could it be that?

Help: Working with .MOV files in FCP and forced to RENDER FOR EVERY EDIT

I'm working with .MOV files from my digital camera in Final Cut Pro and every time I make a new edit, I have to render it in order to see it in the canvas.
How do I make it so that I don't have to render every edit in order to see it?
(I've worked with files straight from a DV camera, and editing went fine. I'm assuming it has to do with the .MOV files)

DV Cameras are not the same thing as a Digital camera. Digital cameras offer video on a limited basis and it's usually highly compressed in a non-editing format such as MPEG-2 or similar. NLEs are made to work with video cameras, not still cameras which is why you're having trouble.
That's not to say you can't edit video captured with a digital camera, but you need to know how to prep it for editing. Some digital cameras shoot at odd frame rates and they all use some form of compression that is not typically used in editing. This means that you'll likely need to convert your clips to an editable format first using Compressor.

In anticipating upgrading to Premiere Elements 13, I need to know what "gotchas" there might be in loading project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

Particularly, can I load project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

What computer operating system is involved?
There is no guarantee that a project created in an earlier version can be opened in a later one. Many times it can, but...
If you do try this, then please consider working from a copy of the project 10 project file and then trying to open that in 13/13.1.
Reason: projects created in an earlier version and then opened and edited in a later version cannot be opened again in the
earlier version.
And, there is always the issue of maintaining the connect of the source media with the project file. Is this move from 10 to 13/13.1
happening on the same computer and are the source media in the same place where they were when they were first imported
into the 10 project. Disc menus consideration may enter into this depending on your details.

Also, I am looking through the Adobe website, and I can't find any place where Photoshop CS6 Extended is even offered for purchase. Is it extremely well hidden, or is it not available?

Has anyone not working with .dv files had synchronization problems?

Has anyone not working with .dv files had sound synchronization problems? I'm not exactly sure what the alternatives to DV are, but I think one of them is HD.
The reason for asking this question is to help isolate the nature and cause of a very serious flaw in iMovie '11. In the original release of iMovie '11 (version 9.0) there was a small--but serious--synchronization problem. In the 9.01 there is a large synchronization problem. We know of one person who has not experienced the problem, and he is not working with DV files (media). So we want to find out if anyone who is using something other than .dv files is experiencing a lack of synchronization between sound and picture. Knowing the answer to this will help with figuring out where the cause lies. For the initial iMovie '11 release (9.0), you probably would not notice a problem unless you had very long event-clips, e.g., two hours long. Events get this long if you are transferring from analog 8 mm tapes. Even then, it would have to be in scenes in which the connection between event and sound is obvious, e.g., close ups of people talking. It isn't until the 9.01 release that most people would notice anything. All we need to do is establish one case of a synchronization problem in which the person is using something other than DV.

Hopefully, the 9.0.2 release will make my question moot. Zyfert must have posted the announcement of the release just as I was formulating my question. Still, if you have information on the subject, it would be interesting to hear.

Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

Hey,
Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes. Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor. I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
Matt

Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro. So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment.
It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav?
I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.
Thank you for folowing up on this.
PS. I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect. It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore? You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?
Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right?
