What loses something in translation?

The translation from Final Cut Pro 7 sequence to Final Cut Pro X timeline isn’t perfect.

Here’s a list of what gets “lost in translation.”

• For 10.0.9 and earlier, custom sequence frame sizes are changed to a nearest

equivalent supported size (and a to-do marker is added to the first video clip).

• Text and Outline Text titles becomes Custom; Lower Third becomes Middle;

Scrolling Text becomes Scrolling; Crawl becomes Ticker; and Typewriter becomes

Typewriter. For 10.0.9 and earlier, font, size, style, line spacing and color

information does not transfer.

• Sequence markers become markers on a clip in the primary storyline at the same

point in the timeline. Sequence chapter markers become chapter markers on a clip

in the primary storyline at the same point in the timeline.

• Surround sound clips will import with multiple mono audio tracks. (See note on

converting Multiple Mono to Surround Sound under Enhancing the Translation.)

• Keyframed speed changes are converted to a constant speed change that maintains

the duration of the original clip and uses the average speed of the clip.

• Generators (other than Color, Color Solid, Gradient, Circle, Oval, Rectangle and

Square generators) become a solid black custom generator named after the Final

Cut Pro 7 generator.

What doesn’t get translated?

• Motion Project clips become a solid black custom generator named after the Motion

clip. See Enhancing the Translation about bringing Motion Projects forward.

• Freeze frames (see Before exporting XML for 7toX).

• Boris Calligraphy titles become a solid black custom generator named after its

original item name.

• Transition settings — transitions have their default settings in Final Cut Pro X.

• Color Corrector and Color Corrector 3-way filters.

• Filter settings — effects have their default settings in Final Cut Pro X.

• Motion Blur adjustments are ignored — there is no equivalent in Final Cut Pro X.

• Travel Matte — Alpha and Travel Matte — Luma composite modes.
