Hi Steve,
I remember trying to use this script some time ago, and the results were buggy – some of the media lost its in and out points. But I have since upgraded to FCP 6.0.2, so maybe this time the outcome will be better. Thanks for reminding me; I’ll try it.
As far as sticking to DV-NTSC, and rendering it out as such, since this is the source format… it makes sense. I wonder, though — would it make any difference if I render files out as Quicktime movies, or if I went with “using Quicktime conversion”? (Actually, I’ve been curious about these two alternatives withing FCP’s export options all along, and never found out what the difference was.)
Thanks again! -
Thanks, Rafael! I’ll make sure to try that. I’m not sure if it will work, because I’m using Aja IoHd via HDMI, and I think that this setup only allows RGB colorspace, whereas the route you are suggesting entails going into YUV (if I understand correctly.) But I will try, and report back on the results.

I could, theoretically, but I would have to pretty much recreate the FCP sequence in AE for that to work… and it’s a fairly complex sequence, with numerous effects and crossfades all over the place, which are applied to the footage in Final Cut, already.
This route is something I can fall back on, when all else fails… but it would mean hours of moving stuff around, in practical terms. Maybe dozens of hours.
Any other ideas? 🙂 -
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the advice. You’re right, the issue was somewhere in that Harddrive->Library->Quicktime folder. The codecs were there, but, my guess is, they got corrupted somehow (how – I do not know.) After deleting the codecs from Library->Quicktime AND reinstalling FCP one more time, I got them to work. I also upgraded Quicktime to 7.4.5. Hopefully, that won’t cause issues with After Effects now. 🙂 -
I’m afraid that you’re right, Steve. Which is really bad news, since I’d like to have independent audio clips. With handles and stuff. Synched to their respective video clips. Ah, well. Premiere -> EDL -> FCP it is.
Thanks for your response!
Mike
P.S.
The whole situation is pretty ridiculous. Do the folks at Adobe think that Audition will fare better just because… ah, well, nevermind.
