August 22, 2011 at 2:36 am in reply to: anyone has experience using FCP’s EDL to conform PT session via Virtual KatyHey Micheal,
Thanks for the suggestion, i will check it out. Do you send an EDL of your sequence or XML ??

No need for Motion as i usually use After Effects but i really want to be able to do it in FCP. I’m working on a 26 episode TV show, where i’m editing, VFX, sound design and surround mixing and 65 % of the gig is client supervised…so NO time for round tripping to AE or other 3rd party for titles. Damn, we’re in 2011 and no one has come up with a text generator where one can add logo right inside FCP.

Thanks for the reply, this is going to broadcast and they want XDcam HD422 as delivery codec. Will i loose quality by doing the roundtrip twice ( Xdcam to Prorez to xdcam ) ??
What’s your suggestions for converting all the footage ? I was hired to do 13 episode, each containing roughly 150Gb worth of material. Wouldn’t it be more economical and faster to upgrade my Macpro to a recent model ???

I was hoping to do this in FCP. I usually use after effects.

great thanks Ian…one more question 🙂
Can you tell me if this scenario could work….we shoot lots of show with 3 XDcam HD F700. At the end of each shoot, i would like to transfer the camera’s professional disk to an external hard disk, then connect this disk to our server. Anybody connected to the server will be able to view the footage, then transfer it to our main raid and ready for editing.
Since we shoot lots of show, transfering the dailies’s right away to our main raid is not practical, only chosen dailies will be transferred, so it would be great if the above scenario could work. Thanks again for your advice.

Hey Daniel,
So if i understand correctly, i can have all my Xdcam HD media on a raid hard drive that is connected on a network with my 5 FCP edit suite. In each of my suite i will be able to view the footage and import with Sony Xdcam Transfer ???
Also, is it possible for a client to connect to the server with his laptop with Transfer installed and view the footage ??? Thanks

Richard,
I was not aware you can import single MXF file via Xtransfer. I thought you need the folder structure intact for xfer to work. Anyways, i tried importing single MXF with the latet Xfer and no candy.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the reply. This is what i’ve been doing but it’s still a real drag as there are multi takes of the same scene and and the usable audio is bouncing between cam all the time. Anyways, i think i will convert all my 1080p30 to 1080i60, as it’s going to broadcast, and save myself the headache.

Hi rafael,
I’m quite familiar with file base workflow but the problem with this particular gig is that the costumer mess up the folder hierarchy and we’re stuck with a single MXF file!
I figured out a way to ” cheat ” fcp by reconstructing a dummy file hierarchy. Thanks anyways.

Then is there a way to reveal the 3d text over time ??? i usually can achieve this with a simple mask and animated it via keyframes over time. Thanks
