FCP => Premiere conversion. Any interest?
The subject line pretty much sums it up.
I'm considering writing a conversion tool to import FCP sequences in Premiere. I got most of the interpretation o the FCP XML file done and now it's a matter of "injecting" all that safely inside a Premiere project. Just wondering if there is anybody else, besides myself, who could use this. The tool will run on pretty much any platform that has a Perl runtime installed, every Mac and Linux installation, and will be free. Let me know. |

umm, YES.
Dude, Totally.
This would help premiere's integration and acceptableness if people could easily swap a project from Final cut to premiere or vice versa. I am in the situation where i like to edit premiere but often work with editors who are on Final cut. In an ideal world, the editing program you used, or anyone else used would not limit two people from working together.

Not sure I understand. The tool I'm writing will do the FCP => Premiere part.

I meant that it would be great to have a utility for swapping projects between both, either way. I'm sure most of the effects would get lost in the process, similarly premiere's audio track effects, but it would be great to have one guy do the preliminary editing on PPro, and then switch to FCP for touch up and colour correction.

Paolo, how open is Premiere for third party utils? I don`t mean plugins. Is it for example possible to write an util to make premiere play straight cuts only (=disable effects on playback)?

For example, here is an excerpt from a project that has a Cross Fade: <TransitionTrackItem Version="3"> <HasIncomingClip>true</HasIncomingClip> <HasOutgoingClip>true</HasOutgoingClip> <Alignment>158918760000</Alignment> <TrackItem Version="3"> <TrackRefCount>1</TrackRefCount> <TrackIndex>0</TrackIndex> <MediaType>228cda18-3625-4d2d-951e-348879e4ed93</MediaType> <Type>2</Type> <End>2510916408000</End> <Start>2193078888000</Start> <Node Version="1"> </Node> </TrackItem> <DisplayName>Cross Dissolve</DisplayName> <MatchName>ADBE Cross Dissolve</MatchName> </TransitionTrackItem> I haven't tried it but I guess that if you conver the 2nd and 3rd entry to false the transition will not work. It's worth a try! |
