…Oh, and I’ve also tried Fcpreconnect, which sees the connection between my batch list and my source reel, but the list it generated (xml) gave me “a XML Translation was aborted due to a critical error” message when I tried to import in into FCP.

Thanks!

I am having a similar problem connecting an Excel generated batch list to a pre-digitized reel of media. I’ve done it a million times to do a batch capture, but am not able to “reconnect media” to this file.

The 30 minute media file (or reel) plays fine in fpc and I’ve replicated all of the column headings in my batch list to match it.

Here’s my process:
I open a new bin, import a batch list (my tab delimited excel file), all 300 of my variously named clips appear in the bin. Then I select all of the clips and “reconnect media”, I navigate to the media file that the dupe house gave me, deselect the “matched name and reel only” box, and click “connect”. I then get the “some attributes don’t match: Media Start and End” message, and click “continue”. One clip of 300 seems to connect and I click the “connect” button (instead of the “cancel” button). The result is that nothing has connected.

Any ideas? It seems like a pretty simple thing, but the addition of the tapeless workflow is messing with me. I’ve done similar operations so many times I’m having a hard time figuring out why this won’t work.

Thanks for your help!

I have had this problem too!

I will only get the first three images in my batch export to work. Sometimes it’s the first five, or a random three… sometimes only one or even none.

I am batch exporting as many as several hundred images for print as tiffs. It has always worked for me in the past in the previous FCP on the previous OSX. My workaround now is to capture on the new FCP, export the media to the old FCP on an older computer, export the stills then re-import them on to my newer machine for faster processing in Photoshop. It’s a drag, but it works.

Anyone else have this issue?
