Try running this version and see what happens. http://www.creative-workflow-hacks.com/downloads/db_FCPToAE.jsx Best, Dale Hey Georgie,

The process I followed is as follows, let me know if I´ve missed something. 1. Right click on the sequence in Final Cut and export as XML, save. 2. Open your clever FCPtoAE script program, open the XML from that program 3. The files appear, click export to After Effects, saving a jsx. file 4. In after effects file/run scripts and locate the jsx file and select. 5. The files appear but without the sequence..?? When u have a mo could u let me know if I´ve got it right, I´m using AFX CS4 and Premier v 6 Many Thanks Georgie Hi Dale,

Make sure you have the hidden maps viewable. Like noming said, the modified user interface is in C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/After Effects/9.0/ModifiedWorkspaces I deleted the .xml file in the folder and it loaded again for me.

That could cause issues if it was being mishandled somewhere. Have you tried the Popcorn Island guys stuff to see it might work a little better for how your project is set up? http://www.popcornisland.com/after-effects/final-cut-2-after-effects/ You can also send your XML stuff as a bug report, but I'm in the middle of a big project right now and I'm not going to be able to look at it right away. Best of luck, Dale Hey Selah,

I have no issues exporting the XML or opening that in the FCP to AE application you created, or to export that into a script for AE. I do however have two problems in After effects. When I run the script, it opens all the clips and a created composition. The problem is that when I open the comp, I notice that some clips are missing, or they start shorter than what they should be. In an effort to deal with this, I wanted to use a reference video that would run underneath the sequence in the comp from your program, so that I could spot the mistakes, but the video that I import refuses to be longer than 9 seconds, while my total comp is 1m22. Any suggestions? Your application seems to be the best alternative to Automatic Duck, and the roundtrip through Premiere to make an AE composition crashes the premiere, so I'm a little stuck right now having to do my effects and grading the super long way, which will chew up too much time. Thanks for your help. SV Hey Dale
