Another Premiere-FCP connection...

[Martin B.]

Hello!
I'm sure that there might be several threads about the process of taking premiere projects into FCP, but it gets a bit tricky to get all the info clear, so I decided to make this thread asking for some specific recommendations.

What I need is to make some premiere 4.5k sequences available to be re-edited o a macbook pro. I believe the best option is to export to final cut xml, import from final cut, but then...

- How can I do to relink the video files so that FC converts them into prores files? (so that the laptop can handle it).

- After doing that, I have to relink video and audio files (recorded separately) one by one, right?

- Is there any way to tell FC to put the new prores video files in a specific directory?

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

I have not tried that specific workflow, but I suspect Clipfinder will be your best bet, both for creating ProRes and modifying the Premier XML to point to the ProRes.

Thanks Nick.
I'm trying the free version right now... I know how to change the XML to point the files I need, but I don't know if clipfinder can pick up the right files I need to convert and work only with them.
But first in fact I thought that there could be a process in Final Cut to do the pro res ingesting of the files that are called by the xml file. I cannot find that option yet if there is such thing.

Regards!
