To provide a smooth transition
when importing FCP XML files into Smoke, follow these steps.
- Ensure that there is only one timecode
track used in each of the selected files. See
Setting One Timecode Track in Final Cut Pro.
- Prepare the sequences in FCP that will
be exported as XML. Do one of the following:
- If you are editing from tape, perform
logging and capture from a VTR in FCP. See
Logging and Capturing from Tape in Final Cut Pro.
- If you are editing from files, verify
that the supported media specifications and network configuration
links are still valid for accessing the file-based media.
- Edit and add effects and transitions
in FCP. See
Supported and Unsupported Effects.
- Export XML sequences from FCP. See
Exporting Sequences from Final Cut Pro.
- Import the FCP XML, and then recapture
or relink the media. See
Importing Final Cut Pro XML.
- Work on the recaptured project and finish
it for final output.
