![]() NOTE: For long-term archiving, I strongly recommend you save an XML version of every project you want to save. It just contains all the different settings applied to each clip. XML is a language similar to HTML that you see on many web pages, that explains how the project was created, but doesn’t contain any media. In just a few seconds, an XML file is created. NOTE: Be sure to always pick the latest version of XML (Version 1.9 in this screen shot). In the resulting dialog, give the XML file a name and storage location. Select the project, then choose File > Export XML. This contains pointers to all clips, but not the actual media, as well as settings for just about everything in the project file. To move this project from FCP, you need to create an XML (e Xtensible Markup Language) file. It contains video and audio clips, transitions, titles and captions. Here’s a typical projects in FCP though short, this can easily illustrate the transfer process. But After Effects and Audition only accept XML with a single sequence and no nested sequences (which means no Compound Clips in your Project). Basically anything that’s in a Library or Event. NOTE: Premiere can import XML containing multiple sequences, nested sequences, event clips etc. Transform Anchor and Crop (Ken Burns), Stabilization, Rolling Shutter, Spacial Conform.Keyframed speed changes are converted to a constant speed change that maintains the duration of the original clip and uses the average speed of the clip.This is why I recommend translating projects in the rough-cut stage, before effects are applied. Custom generators becomes a color solid but other Generators (except Gaps) become Slugs named after the Final Cut Pro X generator.īecause the effects engines between FCP and other applications are so different, anything that involves an effect won’t transfer. ![]() Some titles with complex builds may have the text out of order in the Text title. Title text and timing transfers, but title positioning, formatting and animation does not.Multicam clips become “collapsed” clips containing only the active angle(s).Auditions are automatically “finalized” (there’s no equivalent to auditions in either Premiere or Final Cut Pro 7).Opacity, position and scaling settings.Default dissolves, as opposed to dissolves added from the effects browser. Timecode, clip In, Out and durations also transfer. I can’t think of any media format today that isn’t supported by both applications. This includes clips in the Primary Storyline, connected clips and/or connected storylines. The reason this utility is necessary is that FCP and Premiere speak two different versions of XML this utility converts between them. In order to transfer between FCP and other applications, you’ll need a utility called: “XtoCC.” Developed by Intelligent Assistance, it is available here in the Mac App Store. However, for projects you are moving between applications, media must be store OUTSIDE the Library. Moving rough-cuts between software will almost always be successful. The best time to transfer projects is during the rough-cut process, before you start adding transitions, titles, color grading or effects. NOTE: Here’s an article that explains how to move projects from Adobe Premiere Pro CC to Apple Final Cut Pro X. Or any other application that can import an FCP 7 XML file.This process applies to any Final Cut Pro X project that you want to send to: You need to understand these differences in order to determine if and when is the best time to move projects between software. A more fundamental problem is that the underlying software architecture between FCP and Premiere are very, very different and not everything in your edit will successfully transfer. ![]() ![]() This translation process isn’t really difficult. So, in order for one app to read the XML of the other, it needs to be translated. You CAN move projects between apps and this article explains how.įCP and Premiere use two different versions of XML (similar to English and French). However, there may be reasons that you need to move a project from FCP to Premiere in the middle of an edit for example, you need to change editors and the new editor is more comfortable in Premiere. Most of the time, when you start a project in Final Cut Pro, you’ll want to finish the edit in Final Cut.
