Xport OMF or XML from Fcp5 for 5.1 mix?(Pro Tools better?)

Is anyone using Logic to do there fcp project sweetening or is everyone a die hard Pro Tools user? I figured Logic Pro 7 would be the better way to go since I have apples tools. I also found out that PT LE does not support surround mixing. Well fact is I can't afford the PT/TDM gear. So can I get audio from my timeline in fcp to logic and still retain audio attributes and accomplish a surround mix well with Logic Pro 7 or is this left to the big boys with the PT tools? Any direction/workflow? My goal is to recut some real old school short I made and redo it all with fcp studio and freshening up the audio and finally surround mix it. Am I crazy or is someone doing this type of stuff...for fun?
Peace. Thanks any info would be supa fly.

ps: I also have the Tascam fw-1884 surface to get the mix in and out and m-audio studiphile monitors.

I never use the keyframes for audio.
Because indeed the audio-guy will not receive that info from the omf.
What I always do is add transitions to the audio. sometimes need to scirror the audio. adjust the level on the second part and the ad a transition.
This way your audio-guy will know he needs to do 'something' on that point in the mix. he will not get the level information, but he'll see you made a transition there. together with your scratch mix (see danny boy's post) he'll figure out...

Exporting OMF to Protools from FCP5

I am running FCP 5.1.4 and cutting an HD pix, shot on an F900, downconverted to a DVC PRO 100 hd for editing. I want to export an OMF for a pro tools session. From what I hear, FCP 5 will not export OMF with the pan and volume levels. The sound editor will basically have to remix all the sound. Is this true?

Generating XML from RPD for a particular SUbject Area

Hello All,
I have one requirement to generate the .xml file from the RPD for a particular subject area.
Uisng biserverxmlgen we can generate the .xml file for the entire rpd. But can it be specific to a subject area and its related BMM and Physical objects.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Ambika

Hi,
Just open the rpd offline,
Go to Tools -> Utilities -> Generate Metadata Dictionary -> Execute
and then you will be asked to to select the target folder to save that. It might take some time if the repository is very big (but max 5mins)
once execution was successful, you will have a folder with the same name of repository. Select 'SubjectArea' in these folder where you will have all you presentation catalog folder and take only the folder which you want. Presentation catalog would be in extension 'PRCAT_SubjectAreaName0000'. You will have all the xml files.
Hope it helps!

Returning XML from CF for xmlHttpRequest

Greetings,
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but I can't seem to get
a .cfm page to return the necessary xml for use in my
xmlHttpRequest javascript code. I know the problem doesn't exist
within my javascript code......if I build the URL to connect to and
point it at an actual XML document, all is well.....I get a proper
XML DOM document back and I can do what I want. However, if I point
it at a .cfm page that is generating XML, it doesn't work.
I've tried a few different ways (<cfcontent> etc)of
trying to get CF to return the results of the .cfm page as XML, but
it's not working.
Suggestions?

Well, there you go. Turns out there's some slightly
contradictory info in the help for <cfxml>. In the main help
for the <cfxml> tag, there's no mention of the fact that you
should not use the standard <?xml version="1.0" etc> xml
processing directive when you're using that tag. It is, however,
mentioned on one of the associated help pages. So, now that I've
removed the directive, all is well.

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.

I just did a software update from Apple for my Mac Book Pro and it crashed severely. Now it will not boot-up. I had the fading down screen with a message saying to hold down the on Button to reboot but it will not, it starts up with the same massage.

It also comes up with some and more of the info below, whatever it means?
Panic CPU 0 <Panic>
Unable to find perform kext scan:
Debugger called <Panic>
Can’t perform kext scan:
SD process name corresponding to correct thread
MAC OS Version:
Not yet set.
What do I do, can anyone help me?
I also updated a Mac Mini and iMac with no problems.

unfortunatly i had no Backups.
You should make sure to correct that as soon as possible. All computers, regardless of make and model, are ticking time bombs. Hard drives can die at any time, leaving you with an inert chunk of metal that may still contain your data, but in a form that is totally inaccessible without paying thousands to a company that will disassemble the drive in a clean room and read what data they can off the platters.
I wonder why should that happen. It was a simple update. Why should an update ruins all my works and my computer...
It is not the update itself, but the fact that you had corruption in your hard drive's data structures, and writing the thousands of files required by the updater worsened that corruption, damaging the system in the process. These problems can be avoided by repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility prior to installing any system update. Most likely, Disk Utility won't find anything to fix, but when it does, you'll be glad you did it before installing the update!

Optimal Hard Drive Configuration for Premiere Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

I am in the process of upgrading a workstation that is used primarily for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools to use the following Adobe CS5 products for production of promotional videos in HDV (and AVCHD for the web) as well as printed marketing materials for bands and musicians: Premiere Pro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator and Soundbooth.
Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application of the group, I have been studying the suggested hardware configurations on this forum with great interest, particularly HARM's suggestions (including his Generic Guideline for Disk Setup) to determine which hard drives to purchase and the optimal manner in which to configure them.
I am upgrading an HP Z800 with dual quad core 2.44 GhZ processors with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and an overclocked GeForce GTX 470. Without setting up a RAID configuration (which I cannot afford at the moment), I would like to use the 4 available HDD bays in the Z800 in the optimal manner for Premier Pro, using currently available drives. I am currently considering purchasing a 300GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the extended load times and demands placed on the drive by ProTools and the associated Waves plug-ins.
I would appreciate suggestions to improve my following plan: C (300GB WD VelociRaptor) for OS and Programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) for Media and Projects; E (1 250 GB WD Black Caviar) for Pagefile (approx. 18 GB) and Media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Black Caviar) for Previews, Exports and Pro Tools audio files.
I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and eagerly await your suggestions.

I very much appreciate the responses to my email because I know that all of your time is valuable and that you have chosen to use some of that valuable time to help an unknown individual. This forum is remarkable because of the wealth of knowledge available and the willingness of so many to assist others.
I now wish to narrow my questions to save you time and so that I can get specific advice. I may not have not been clear that I have already upgraded to the HP Z800 with dual quad core processors and overclocked GTX 470, primarily for the improved performance it will provide in ProTools. My question now is how to optimize its performance for Premiere Pro CS5. Based upon my research, I am considering the following two upgrades, but I am open to other suggestions if they would provide better results at a similar cost
1. I am considering purchasing a 600GB WD VelociRaptor ( WD6000HLXH) for my C drive on which I would place OS (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and programs in an effort to reduce loading times of large programs. I have two questions: (1) Are members of the forum seeing a significant improvment in program loading times with the VelociRaptor because I am still not convinced that the price performance of SSD's justifies their use; and (2) There are so many models of VelociRaptors now that I want to be certain that I am purchasing the best version for my needs. In addition to the usual 10000 RPM speed, this model has 32MB Cache and a 3.5" form factor as well as a SATA 6.0GB/s interface (which I doubt my motherboard can take advantage of but it might extend the useful life of the drive with future configurations).
2. I currently have available for installation in the Z800 the following drives: (1) WD 2TB Black Caviar; (1) WD 1TB Black Caviar; (2) Hitachi 1TB. I believe that the Z800 can accept up to 5 SATA hard drives which I will have if I purchase the Velociraptor. Although I am reasonably knowledeable when it comes to hardware, I have never set up a RAID configuration. Therefore, it would be helpful if someone could recommend one of the various RAID configurations and brieflyexplain why it would seem to be best for my needs. I can then focus my research on understanding that one configuration.
I was planning to follow Scott's suggestion for my current 3 drives: OS and programs on C (WD 600 GBVelociRaptor), media and projects on D (WD 1TB Black Caviar), export files and Pro Tools files (all live musician tracks, no samples) on E (WD 2TB Black Caviar). However, I have been reading about the benefits of a RAID configuration so I am interested in further suggestions now that I have clarified my questions.
Thank you all for your help.

Problem with running sample code from XML Schema Processor for Java

Hi there,
I downloaded the XML Schema Processor for Java and tried it out. Unfortunately, it failed at the first step. FYI, I included all xmlparserv2.jar and xmlschema.jar in my classpath.
I compiled XSDSample.java with a warning: XSDSample.java uses a deprecated API. Recompile with "-deprecation" for details. There was no problem with compiling XSDSetSchema.java.
When I tried to run report.xml by typing java XSDSample report.xml, I got Parsing report.xml
NonParserException: null.
I guess that report.xml from the sample is not valid.
Could any one give me a hint? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Script for Batch Exporting XML from IDCS3 files

Does anyone have a script they would share for batch exporting XML from IDCS3 files? I do not know anything about scripting so I do not know how to write one myself. I've also searched around and cannot find anything. I would appreciate any help with this anyone can offer.
Thanks,
Janine

Or use below Code:
try {
     inFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Input Folder:");
     outFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Output Folder:");
     if ((inFolderName != null) && (outFolderName != null))
          var idFileFolder = new Folder(inFolderName);
          var files = idFileFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
          for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < files.length; myCounter++)
               var theDocument = app.open(File(files[myCounter]));
               with ( theDocument ) {
               myXMLFile = new File(outFolderName + "/" + name.replace(".indd","") + ".xml" );
               exportFile( ExportFormat.xml, myXMLFile );
               close(SaveOptions.no);
catch (err ) {
alert("All files export");

Weird problem with loading data from an XML using a for loop

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I have encountered this thing many a times but still don't know the proper workaround for it.
I am trying to load swf file, a video file or an image. They can be present on a local system or on a remote server also. All the entries corresponding to the files to be loaded is made in an XML file. I traverse through the nodes of the XML using a for loop. On the complete event of loader info, example:.
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
I fill a container with the loaded data.
My problem is when I am using for loop it doesn't works properly but if i use a statement like this:
someFunc()
     if(i<arr.length())
     ... do something...
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
private function onComplete(e:Event):void
... do something...
i++;
All files are loaded properly.
I think this can be because the for loop processes pretty fast but the content takes time to load, which ultimately leads to some wierd results.
Please let me know how can this thing be done correctly by using a for loop also.

You don't want to use a for loop to load several items. The way you almost appear to have it is the proper approach... load a file and use the completion of its loading to trigger loading the next file.

FCP audio in Logic: OMF or XML?

Hello people,
Im working on the latest FCP and Logic. Im about to edit audio for a 10min shortfilm in logic. I exported both an OMF and XML file from FCP...
* My concern in basically which of these two would be the best to work with?
* What is the difference between both of them?
* Can i import to logic FCP´s video timeline from any of these (XML or OMF) or i have to export a separate video clip and then import into logic?
* In other words, is it posible to export a single video file and separate audio clips into Logic through XML or OMF??
* If i make any modification on logic´s timeline will it automatically update audio on FCP´s timeline?
Thanks for any answers...
ger

The difference is that the XML file is just a reference to the original mediafiles - the OMF file consists of all the audio converted to AIFF and the timing reference.
In my experience its way better to use OMF - its easier and Logic refers to sound only instead of the way heavier mediafiles with video in them. If you want to se the film while you do the mix make an offline version of the film in e.g. DV and load that into Logic. I've done that a lot and it works nice
Hope this helps
Morten

AAF export from FCP5

Has anyone found a way to export AAF files with FCP5? Automatic Duck used to be able to handle OMF exporting, but they don't support multiclips.
I'm looking for a reliable way to export sound info. from FCP to Pro Tools, and retain volume information.
Cheers!
Erin
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

can you not just collapse your multiclip before
exporting with Automatic Duck?
The answer to this question is No. Unfortunatly collapsing multiclips is not sufficient. We hope in the future to support multiclips, it is obviously very important.

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger
