![]() ![]() Select these clips and use the “link media” command. At this stage, all clips that were inside FCP X Libraries will be offline. This will populate your multitrack mixing window with the sequence and clips. Launch Audition and import the new XML file. Open the FCPXML in the Xto7 application and save the audio tracks as a new XML file. I recommend detaching the desired audio, but that’s optional. Review your edited sequence in FCP X and detach/delete any unused audio elements, such as muted audio associated with connected clips that are used as video-only B-roll. What does work is using XML.įirst, duplicate the sequence and work from the copy for safety. Likewise sending an FCPXML to Logic X works better than before, but why buy an extra application if you already own Adobe Audition? I tested a few options, like using X2Pro to get an AAF into Premiere Pro and then into Audition, but none of this worked. ![]() There are methods ( X2Pro Audio Convert) to send the timeline audio to Pro Tools, but many editors don’t use Pro Tools. All mixing is clip-based without a proper mixing pane, like most other NLEs have. Sound mixing is still a weak link in Final Cut Pro X. When you do this, the updates will not be recognized in FCP X. You cannot create blank layers and later add content into them. For example, layer alignment that matches in Photoshop may be misaligned in FCP X. This process is very imperfect because of FCP X’s interpretation of the Photoshop files. However, if you created layer effects and then merge that layer to bake in the effects, the update is successful in FCP X and the effects become visible. New, additional layers do not update back inside FCP X. ![]() All changes that you make have to be made within the existing layers. Once saved, the changes are updated in FCP X. From the Finder window open the file in Photoshop. To re-edit the Photoshop file in Adobe Photoshop, select the clip in FCP X and “reveal in Finder”. Although you cannot “open in editor” to modify the file, there is a workaround. If you drop the imported Photoshop file onto the timeline, it becomes a self-contained title clip. Photoshop layer effects, like a drop shadow, glow or emboss, do not show up correctly inside FCP X. Layers can be adjusted, animated or disabled when you “open in timeline”. When you import a layered Photoshop file into FCP X, it comes in as a special layered graphics file. FCP X has some nice text tools, but Photoshop is significantly better – especially for logo creation. ( Click images below for an expanded view.)įor many editors, Adobe Photoshop is the title tool of choice. This post isn’t intended to change anyone’s opinion, but rather to offer a few pointers on how to productively use some of the Adobe Creative Cloud (or CS6) applications to complement your FCP X workflows. I have encountered very few power users of Motion, as compared with After Effects wizards – nor graphic designers who can get by without touching Illustrator or Photoshop. Certainly many users like Motion, Aperture and Logic, but it’s pretty clear that most editors favor Adobe solutions over others. While the “battle” rages on between the proponents of using either Apple Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere Pro CC as the main edit axe, there is less disagreement about the other Adobe applications.
