Solutions to Timecode Extents error in Resolve and FCP7 with Cineform

Posted by Anmol Mishra on November 8, 2012 at 4:51 am

Hi! I found a number of thread on this issue, but none solved my problem.
I have stripped the sequence of speed changes or any filters.

1. Exporting from FCP. Options include XML and EDL. Also Automatic Duck has a free XML exporter.
I tried all 3 methods.

I got the Timecode Extents Error in XML import.
I got a “failed to import EDL timeline – No media-pool source clips could be found for this timeline. Cannot load EDL”

2. Settings in Resolve 9.
I tried

Use Timecode -> Embedded in Source Clip
Use Timecode -> From the source clip frame count

Assist using Reel Names -> Source Clip Pathname.
Assist using Reel Names -> Embedding in source clip file
Assist using Reel Names -> Source Clip filename

3. Changes in FCP projects.
I have a Cineform 25P project and all the files are Cineform 25P.
I tried to conform to 24P and then export. Same problem!
I tried to click on every clip and press ‘f’ to Match Frame.
I opened a new sequence and copied just the video files over..

Its been 3 days and its frustrating me as I have to finish grading by the end of this month..

Here are the relevant files –
FCP xml – https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9906333/Rumba.xml
Duck XML – https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9906333/Rumba-duck.xml
FCP EDL – https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9906333/Rumba.edl

Interesting!
I think the Match frame and overwrite helped a bit.
Now when I import the XML I get a Reels do not match error..

At least there is some progress..
