  • Migrating from Premiere Pro to FCP X

    Posted by Vinod Raja on April 21, 2017 at 12:50 pm

    I finished editing a long project on Premiere pro over the last two years. I am migrating out of this software to use my FCP X to grade, take final out and archive the project.

    On importing the Premiere pro XML in FCP X , I find that all the subtitle media files done in premiere are empty/blank and cannot reconnect the media. Is there a way out? What if I take a .mov out of the subtitles timeline and bring it to FCP X.

    seeking help. thanks best Vinod

    Titles do not translate via the old FCP XML, let alone the proprietary Premiere title format. Unless you want to do them all over from scratch in FCP, you’ll have to render the subtitles out from Premiere (with an alpha obviously) and superimpose them. What I believe it is you’re suggesting?

    Thanks Robin for clarifying that render output from the timeline with Alpha channel is the only way out. Will have to try how this works.

    Thanks for the link Andreas.

    For the moment I have exported a .mov from Premiere and fixed it on FCP X but the drop shadows behind the letters are missing.

    Will check out the title tools.

    [Vinod Raja] “but the drop shadows behind the letters are missing.”

    Then simply slap the drop shadow filter on it/them.
