Hi Walter,

I didn’t know you can save an AE project as XML. I’ll try that later and report back.

As always you come to the rescue. You’ve saved me before and now again.
You have no idea how grateful I am for all your help.

OP UPDATE:

So I heard back from Telestream Tech Support. Please see below:

It seems I have to convert all my videos (hundreds of them!) and then swap out all the assets in AE. This is going to be a lot of work! ????

If I do wind up having to convert all the original AVI files I will probably convert them to some sort of MOV *but* then replacing one by one is going to be very time consuming.

I wonder if perhaps there’s a way to create a script that will automatically map the original AVIs to the new MOVs. As long as I keep the base file name the same I think this might be possible?

PLEASE if anyone knows about any other solution I’d appreciate it.

==================================
Hi Xavier,

Thank you for contacting Telestream.

You could use Switch to encode your AVI files to an MP4 or MOV. You would need Plus or Pro for this feature.

Switch wouldn’t work in conjunction with After Effects though. It’d be a two step process.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Best regards,

Never mind. Found it! OPTION + SHIFT + F

Sorry. Maybe my screenshots were misleading.

I tried “Option + R” but I got the “no can do” sound. But I figured it out!

If the clip is selected it will work. HOWEVER, if the clip is marked as a range (X on the keyboard) it won’t work.

Just clarifying for those who might be looking for the same functionality.

Thanks!

…but when I hit “D” it overwrites the portion of the clip that’s below it (2).

I need it to overwrite the selected clip (1).

Xavier

[Xavier Paredes]

Thanks. I thought it perhaps meant something to do with inserting/replacing a clip from the playhead to the skimmer line.

I agree! I think people (doctors in this case) underestimate the value of a well placed mic (never mind contemplating the idea of having a sound engineer on site!).

I’ll look into iZotope and if I can make any good improvements to the audio, I’ll report back.

Thanks to all!

@Ty: Thank you for your reply. I will look into those suggestions.

Xavier

[Xavier Paredes]

Oh well. Hopefully one day we can script FCP X jobs.

Thanks for your reply.

@Jeff Kirkland:

Interesting. I also have Fade Up/Down transitions. Can these transitions be implemented via an XML?
