One option is Pro Import FCP from Automatic Duck. Another option (and more appropriate for most users) is to bounce an AIFF out of Pro Tools.by wplate - Café LA Re: Avid to FCP - 13 years agoIf your media is pre-ABVB I think you're going to be mostly out of luck. Certainly Automatic Duck's plug-in for FCP cannot import and OMF file from something older than MC 7. Your best bet is to download and try the 30-day trial of Media Composer.by wplate - Café LA Re: Yet another FCP to Avid question - 13 years agoMicheal Michael Michael, I can't give you all of my secrets. But I'll tell you that an RSS feed (or a set of RSS feeds) filtered through Yahoo Pipes comes in very handy. See you in a couple of weeks!by wplate - Café LA Re: Yet another FCP to Avid question - 13 years agoAh. Well if it comes to it they could buy the other plug-in too. Be sure all of your FCP media is ProRes, that seems to be the codec that MC AMA likes.by wplate - Café LA Re: Yet another FCP to Avid question - 13 years agoWhy doesn't Pro Export FCP work for you in situation?by wplate - Café LA Re: using AE in FCP Studio - 14 years agoAfter Effects is an incredible tool and an excellent compliment to Final Cut Pro.by wplate - Café LA Re: converting/importing Avid PAL files to FCP Quicktime !!??? - 14 years agoYou will need to understand a great deal of things in order to do what you're asking, and frankly it does sound like a lot of the required knowledge is currently outside of your area of understanding, so an investment in learning of some kind will be required. As was initially suggested and I followed up on, our Pro Import FCP plugin which you can learn more about at may be an option, howeverby wplate - Café LA Re: converting/importing Avid PAL files to FCP Quicktime !!??? - 14 years agoFunny post, strypes. Saying that Avid's media is open source and Final Cut's is proprietary makes you the mayor of Backswards Town. Pro Import FCP won't help you get the Avid bin files into FCP, it requires you export a sequence from the Avid as AAF, then this AAF file can be imported into FCP. Calibrated's tool might be able to help, also look at MXF4mac's solution. But in either case, iby wplate - Café LA Re: importing XDcam HD .mxf files to FCP - 15 years agoBut $80 is so cheap that there's no sense complaining about it.by wplate - Café LA Re: importing XDcam HD .mxf files to FCP - 15 years agoMy understanding is unless the files are in their exact folder structure created by the camera you're not going to get the NLE or the transfer utility to see the media. I would try one of the QuickTime components that allows MXF files to be played by QuickTime, it may be a good solution for you.by wplate - Café LA Re: Need help converting a 6.0 file to 5.1.4 - 15 years agoYou were sent an XML file that your copy of FCP cannot import. You're welcome to send your FCP project to me, you can reach me viaby wplate - Café LA Re: Need help converting a 6.0 file to 5.1.4 - MORE HELP - 15 years agoActually FCP 5.1.4 can do as high as XML 3.0, so that's what I could make for you.by wplate - Café LA Re: Need help converting a 6.0 file to 5.1.4 - MORE HELP - 15 years agoYou're welcome to send me your FCP project and I'll reply with an XML 2.0 file of your project. Be sure to zip the project file before uploading/sending.by wplate - Café LA Re: OMF questions - 15 years agoQuoteNow when I export OMFs I notice that they still look like Automatic Duck exports. Remove this folder: "/Library/Application Support/Automatic Duck/" This will remove the "AutoDuck WesP Support App.app" application which is responsible for assigning "duck icons" to the OMF files created by Pro Export FCP. The Finder can sometimes assign the duck icons to oby wplate - Café LA Re: Protools OMF via Automatic Duck = PROBLEMS - 15 years agoStill haven't heard anything from you, can you submit a support ticket so we can try to help you?by wplate - Café LA Re: Protools OMF via Automatic Duck = PROBLEMS - 15 years agoBut you still haven't submitted your support request, I look forward to seeing it.by wplate - Café LA Re: Capture footage in Final Cut to be used in an Avid? - 15 years agoCan Final Cut easily digitize the footage into something Avid could use? No.by wplate - Café LA Re: Exporting OMF - 15 years agoALWAYS zip OMF files before sending. In fact, always zip ANY file before you try to send it somewhere.by wplate - Café LA Re: Dissolve Factory - 15 years agoSorry if you took my reply has a harsh criticism, it wasn't intended as a slap. I was just trying to point out that the OP may have lots of good reasons to ask what he was asking. Your curt reply suggested to me that you didn't know much about the plug-in, I'm sorry for being wrong. And yes, I knew that DF's IP is now owned by DigiEffects, Darrin sold it first to Toolfarm then TF sold it tby wplate - Café LA Re: Dissolve Factory - 15 years agografixjoe Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Curious...why would you want a plug-in that has > been discontinued and will not be updated?

It may or may not, but this sounds like an ignorant assumption based on no evidence or understanding about productby wplate - Café LA Re: OMF limitation HELP NEEDED!!!!! - 15 years agoBreaking up your sequence into smaller sequences for export is your only option. The 2GB limit is inherent in the OMF file format.by wplate - Café LA Re: Needed - output 175 by 800 pixels - 15 years agoIf it were me I'd be doing this in After Effects.by wplate - Café LA Re: Importing Progressive footage from After Effects - 15 years agoMack Truck Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > So I guess FCP assumes the field dominance > according to the codec... Yeah, I'm sure that's part of the calculation. Good call.by wplate - Café LA Re: Importing Progressive footage from After Effects - 15 years agoMack Truck Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Everytime I render progressive footage in After > Effect it is interpreted with a field dominance > (upper) once imported into FCP.

I suspect FCP assumes all 29.97fps or 25fpsby wplate - Café LA Re: Importing Progressive footage from After Effects - 15 years agolhdor12 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I understand the footage is progressive but is the > Comp in AE also progressive or is it set to upper? Field order is no an attribute of a comp in AE. A comp is neither progressive nor interlaced, you choose in the render queue how After Effects should calculate field order (or not at all) when rendering theby wplate - Café LA Re: Export settings for AE - 16 years agoOk, just trying to help. You're spending far too much time trying to get out of FCP. If Pro Import AE isn't for you, but it sounds like it could be, then export each clip as a reference movie from FCP. Drag the clip from your timeline into the bin to create a new clip that is only the In to Out, then export that clip to a reference movie. Use File->Export->QuickTime Movie and turn offby wplate - Café LA Re: Export settings for AE - 16 years agoThat's correct. Easy to trim the layer in AE though.by wplate - Café LA Re: Export settings for AE - 16 years agoWhy are you going through all this trouble? Why not right-click on the clip in FCP and select Reveal in Finder, then drag that movie in the Finder into After Effects? No exporting necessary.by wplate - Café LA Re: Export settings for AE - 16 years agoYou're best off simply using FCP's own media files directly in After Effects. That way there is no need to export from FCP, and certainly no chance to export incorrectly from FCP. Check out Pro Import AE from Automatic Duck. If you're frequently combining the powers of FCP and AE, it may be just what the doctor ordered.by wplate - Café LA |
