Can a FCP Project be loaded into After Effects
I have an edited FCP project. I would love to export this right into After Effects and continue working on it.
Is this possible? So that After Effects opens the project with all the diferent clips layed out, as created in FCP?
This would be incredibly awesome!!

Yes, with the use of Automatic Duck Pro Export for After Effects.

Really? Wow. Have you tried this yet? Any problems?

At $495, Automatic Duck is not an easy buy… Any other ways to import FCP timelines in to After Effects?

No one else is doing this presently, so I guess you could say that Wes at Automatic Duck has a monopoly. You can always try to accomplish the same stuff in Motion, but its really not the same as AE.

If you’re doing this on a regular basis, it’s not expensive at all. This tool works flawlessly, we’ve used it since it first came out, i think about three years ago.

As someone who does a lot of work in Motion, I have to agree. you can do a lot to the same things as AE, you can doe some things AE can’t, but Motion can’t do a bunch of things that AE does, or at least not as well as AE does them.
OTOH, few things are as easy as lassoing a bunch of clips, right clicking & choosing “Send to Motion”.

Walter’s right. For the amount that I use it, the price is well worth it. Not to mention that it works flawlessly. I only wish it would make a quack sound effect when it finishes importing into AE. Since It doesn’t make that sound, I’ll often make clients do it for me.

I am routinely dissapointed in this site’s lack of mooing noises myself

Brilliant! Of course, I make my clients run the Espresso machine so that’s not bad either. 🙂
