Hi, I experience a similar problem with premiere cc 2015 where the mts files with audio I’m sending from CatDV shows up as picture only in premiere. I’ can’t even modify > audio channels or > interpret footage.

My workaround is to offline the files sent from CatDV, then relinking them… there you go – audio!

I’ve had the same problem, but it is not consistent. Some times it opens, some times not. It does not seem corrupted, and it happens on different project files. I haven’t found any explanation either, so if you find something, please call out.

Thanks, Peter. I’ll send you my Mail. It may very well be that I worry to much, and that I’ve missed something here.

Kind regards

Good to hear! Thanks for the update.

Manipulating logs, markers, subtitles etc is a very useful side of FCP XML to me, and I am looking forward to see what Spherico can do with FCPX, when the time comes.

XML is also possible to put to use for a technical interested editor, so I would very much like to se AXEL available for the public, not only for developers.

Hi!

If you work in a Norwegian setting, some applications can create problems in the XML if there are character encoding mismatch. Characters like Æ, Ø and Å can be misinterperated if encoded otherwise, and create faulty XMLs. The character encoding should be UTF-8 through the whole workflow. Start by checking the first lines in the xml (read in a text editor) and look for “encoding”. Then check if there are language preferences in the subtitle generator.

There can also be isues with other special characters sneeking in to the subtitles.

Hi!

All I’ve found so far is someone heard someone said it worked. But regarding third party apps sometimes there is a big difference between “worked” and “worked”… So it would be very nice to get experiences from someone thats hands on!

The reason for this research is that I am going to coordinate post on a film that I am also picture editing. My studio does not do audio post, so we got to involve someone else for that. There has not been concluded on wich software/platform the post will be done, this is all research.

I try to understand what the software actually moves. Reading the manual, it seems to me VK bases its operation on the picture track (or tracks, keeping VFX in mind). Operation moves whole segments of the edit, with the sound belonging to the picture. But what if pieces of audio moves around independent of the picture? For exampel, I would compress an edit by taking sync picture out, and put the spoken words off on other images. Or voice over can be moved around, shortened and combined. Please correct me if I am wrong!

Thanks Ty!

I’ve never heard about Titan. It looks promising!

As I understand, based on some kind of change EDL you can choose wich tracks in the ProTools session will answer to the tracks in the EDL.

So, if the picture editor has her tracks sorted, one could possible imagine this workflow for FCP 7 and ProTools:
The audio categories Dialog, Voiceover, FX and Music is kept on dedicated tracks in FCP 7
Lock edit #1, export OMF and a reference film to Audio Post.
Export AIFFs of the said audio categories, and reimport them into the edit as dummy tracks. Ensure that TC and lengths on the dummies are identical to the ProTools session
Audio Post imports OMFs and ref, then organizes the tracks in their session according to the audio categories – and does their thing with Edit #1
Picture editor locks Edit #2
Picture editor exports separate EDLs for each dummy-track
Audio Post uses Titan Flash Cutter, cut&move, for each EDL as described in the Titan Manual:
In the Flash Cutter window, open the EDL, and the session to be cut.
In the Flash Cutter window, enter an output session name.
In the Flash Cutter window select Cut and Move Mode and other options as required. Click Next to advance to the second page of controls.
Select region auto-naming options for the output session as required, then click Next.
Review the loaded EDL, and confirm that it has loaded correctly by clicking Next.
Choose which EDL tracks will cut and move which Session tracks by clicking Allocate EDL Track.
Click Flash Cut to start the process. For each EDL event, Titan will cut the source session audio on the allocated tracks at the timecodes contained in the EDL, and move it to the output session at the destination timecodes contained in the EDL.
After processing has completed, review and save the Flash Cutter Report.

This is the theory. Will it work?

[Michael Gissing] “There is no magic way to have a project reconform lots of tracks and mix automation and even after using Editrace to generate a change EDL based on video, I still need to do a degree of manual manipulation.”

I suspected as much. Thanks for the reality check.

Maybe Virtual Kathy is the Grale, then?
