Michael, you’ll find lots of tutorials and info online, but the idea is you export an AAF file from your sequence in Avid.

Then, in After Effects CS6 or later, choose File > Import > Pro Import After Effects and navigate to the AAF file you exported from your Avid.

Adjust settings as needed. That’s it. 🙂

Good luck!

Automatic Duck is tackling it!

On Monday we announced Xsend Motion, a new application that converts FCPX timelines into Apple’s Motion.

Xsend Motion is still in development and will ship soon.

We are excited to bring this to you.

Good tip. Thanks!

I found how to do this!

First, add the new clip in as a connected clip.
Then, hold the G key down while you drag the new clip in front of the secondary storyline.
The storyline will grow to the left to envelope the new clip.

Here’s a demonstration… https://vimeo.com/113752680

Thank you to Richard Taylor for the solution.

Robin, that worked way better than I expected. Not perfect, so I wouldn’t go this route on a real project, but good to know the tech is pretty smart.

Here’s a recording for you…

Thank you, Robin, setting the camera name worked great.

I didn’t try audio syncing but I expected it not to work since the audio from the gopros is not good.

Yes. And I couldn’t figure out how to. I learned that I needed to add the audio to its own Storyline and THEN I was able to edit it.

I’m finding additional storylines are really a key thing to know about in FCPX.

My goal is to remove 10 seconds of the intro. I want to shorten the song AND shorten the entire edit. Deleting the selected range in the screenshot shortens the primary storyline and the connected clips follow along, however I need to also remove the time from the connected clip song that is attached at the beginning of the timeline.
