Nevermind. I just figured it out. You have to buy the high end version with the Nvidia Card and the Iris GPU.

Dragging and dropping seems to work. However, I have had some weird results and stopped doing in. Inexplicably, sequences were rendering without the most recent changes to the timeline. So revisions clients had asked for were not showing up in the final renders. So I am back to exporting them individually. It could possibly be something else, but I don’t think so. Be careful I guess.

Thanks for all the responses guys. Yes, between that and the warp stabilizer I do think I’ll upgrade. One other cool thing… their team actually wrote me back after I requested this feature through there official “feature request” page (not knowing it was in 5.5). I don’t know how many features and ideas I mentioned to the Apple FCP guys over the years and never received so much as a peep. It’s the little things right? Very cool of Adobe, I thought.

Thanks. Yes, I already tried that and it seems to rename all the files it outputs after the project name instead of the sequence name. Unfortunately, all the 100+ sequences, and subsequent output files have very strict naming conventions. So unless someone knows a way of preserving those names when importing a PPro project into AME I will just export each one by hand, which isn’t the end of the world.

The point I have taken from his article is not to build a business around Apple software. They don’t have the same stake in it that, say, Adobe or Avid has. And that’s why I’m not going to use FCPX. Ya just can’t trust’em. Don’t get me wrong, I love the hardware and OS. Unfortunately, the same nimble business model that makes the rest of their company so successful also has a downside and FCP is it’s victim. Probably. But who knows? Maybe FCPX will be the professional NLE of choice again in 3 years. I’m just not going to wait around for it.

Yes, they act as if we’re all crazy. Do they not realize that 90% of their piers feel exactly the opposite? Maybe they have too much of a financial stake in the training to be completely honest. Whatever the reason, it seems very disingenuous, and a bit insulting to the collective intelligence of the professional community. Sadly, I feel like both Apple and the evangelist / trainers are all loosing a lot of credibility.

I’ve been dealing with this exact same problem this week.
Walter, I’m curious about your statement above:
“We convert all HDV to ProRes during ingest as we get much better results in edit getting out of HDV as quickly as possible. You should get decent slo mo if you run about 50% range, but it won’t be quite as smooth as 720/60. Also be sure you render the slo mos before judging quality.”
I thought all HDV footage in FCP was automatically converted to ProRes. Is there another step you are doing to get it into prores?
Thanks,
Shawn

I should have mentioned the media. It is HDV 1080p 30fps shot on a Sony Z7U and shot to both tape and CF card. And 1080i 60 from a Z1U shot to tape. I know my old SD DV deck would show the time of day the footage was shot. It seems like a no brain to bring that info over in metadata just like we have with still images.
