In Final Cut Pro >Right Click on the Sequence to Export to AVID and choose to Export>Automatic Duck Pro Export FCP. Hi All, I need to import an AAF into FCP7 ASAP! Does anyone have Pro Import FCP from Automatic Duck? The export version I have is 4.1 (not the latest one) so I.
Hi, I just successfully imported a full movie project into FCP 5 from Avid using Automatic Duck. Everything went pretty well but after the batch capture I began reconnecting my files and ran into a couple of problems. I should say that Automatic Duck is AWESOME. It saved me a month of work. Here is the problem: As I said when I reconnect most of the time it is fine.
But there have been some instances when I reconnect a clip and it actually shortens the length of the offline clip in the timeline. This is a serious problem because sometimes it cuts off dialogue that I need. A less frequent problem but no less annoying is when I reconnect and the clip is attached to a wrong scene all together.
I can only assume that it is the transfer of information between Avid and FCP project files. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot for the help. G5, Mac OS X (10.4.5) Posted on Jul 11, 2006 9:43 AM. Direct your problem to Automatic Duck.
Wes Plate who posted earlier in this thread is Automatic Duck. They (or he) will help. I had a problem with my installation and I got an answer almost immediately. Oh, the problem I was having.
My client gave me the receipt number not the serial number. Please post back with the resolution of your problem. It is a fantastic product. My client bought the export component so we could get all our audio automation info out to ProTools. A quick look at the error log showed me exactly where the problems were (nested material). I fixed the nests, rexported and it was perfect. This is a very rare occurence with software.

Usually when our clips don't sync it is due to one of those factors. The fix we use, unfortunately, is manually correcting the few clips that error. Using Duck is easier than and EDL, especially when converting video and audio into FCP so we just deal with the few snafu's it creates. G5 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.5) Jul 11, 2006 9:57 AM. Yeah we shot it on a varicam using DVCPro tapes.
We didn't use any separate components like DAT. Wes, like I said before we are really happy with the results. I would still be doing busy work if it weren't for Duck.
But I did everything by the book and this still happened. Everyone that I have spoken with online has said that the same thing happens to them when they go from an Avid project file to FCP. Are you saying I shouldn't accept this problem? I just thought this was a glitch?
