Hi Walter,

I wound up using Keyboard Maestro to automate the repetitiveness. But I will test your solution next time I have a similar project.

I really appreciate you posting this solution.

Because I no longer have an AE subscription but even if I did, this job requires other things done in FCP that AE can’t do or would take way more time to do so.

Thanks for your reply. Each video needs its own project because they are all totally separate clips so they need to be exported separately once the work needed is done.

Hi Patrice,

I just purchased Producer’s Best Friend and I think it can only do 1 XLS per Project. I realize I wasn’t clear in my original post but I need to be able to export an XLS that contains all the Projects within it.

I emailed support but if you can confirm this limitation that’d be great.

Hopefully I can get a refund if it doesn’t do what I need.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m trying to swallow the $99 price tag though.

I’m going to look into exporting XMLs from FCP before I take the plunge.

Thanks!

This comment doesn’t add anything to help what you are looking for but I just wanted to say that Walter is an amazing human being. He helped me save perhaps dozens and dozens of hours with the script he made for me. Always grateful Walter!

Hi Jeremy, Thank you for your help.

I did try the ‘w’ shortcut; also tried Q and E but none worked. I think I stupidly forgot to select my secondary storyline before trying the above-mentioned shortcuts. Now it works!

Thanks for your reply. I now see that I can open multiple projects with LPX but each opens in its own window. I guess I’m spoiled by FCP’s ability to open multiple libraries and within each, make use of events.

Now I wonder if any other DAW allows for similar organization capabilities.

October 23, 2020 at 3:16 pm in reply to: Upgrade a 2013 trash can Mac Pro

Hi Robert,

I neglected to mention in my original post that one of the main reasons I’m considering upgrading my trash can mac is because of the very slow encode times I’ve been experiencing lately.

For example, Adobe Media Encoder becomes very slow if I have a few layers with some effects. A couple of days ago I had to add audio waves (these waves) to a 29-minute video in After Effects and when I compressed it to MP4 using Adobe Media Encoder it took exactly 4 hours, 59 minutes. That’s 10 times real-time!

So I’m wondering if upgrading my Mac to a 12-Core Xeon plus the 1 TB SSD is worth it. Or if I am better off using those ~$900 towards one of the new—but very expensive —Mac Pros next year (by that time the Mac Pros will probably have Apple Silicone too).

Anyone having gone down this path please share your experience.

Thanks!
