  • Can I import project from pro tools to FCP 4.5?

    Posted by Jason on May 27, 2005 at 10:16 pm

    A mixer did a bunch of work in Pro Tools, but now I’d like to finish up in FCP 4.5. Is there something like an OMF that he can export and I import that’ll preserve all his media, levels, and layers? I haven’t worked with XMLs…is there something there?

    thanks,
    j

    As far as I know…exporting all the work they have done…with the clips all separate and levels intact…can’t be done. FCP won’t import OMF files, and PtoTools doesn’t support XML. The only way I have been able to get my audio from the sound mixer into FCP is for them to export AIFF files for me to drop into the timeline. But those are aiff files of the FULL mix…and M&E splits.

    You can see what Automaic Duck has to offer, but I think they only work FCP>PT, not the other way around…but look and see..

    We expect that the next version of Pro Import FCP will be able to do this. Send an email to us and we will put you on the list for testing (When we get there). https://www.automaticduck.com/contact/
