We love FCP, but there are times when you will have to go to another NLE. Not something that we like to contemplate too much but its fact. Actually, it seems pretty easy to move you to FCP projects into Premiere Pro. Here we take FCP 7 project an example.

1. Make a back-up of your FCP 7 project and corresponding files on an external hard drive. If you have to re-link anything, make sure you have a copy of those files with you.
2. In FCP7, open the project.
3. If you want all bins and sequences transferred, make sure you don’t have anything selected, otherwise it will only make an XML of the sequence you have selected.
4. File>Export>XML
5. A dialogue box will appear letting you know the source being exported. Make sure to keep the format at Apple XML Interchange Format Version 5 and make sure the “save project with latest clip metadata (recommended) is checked. Click OK.

6. The XML file will default to the project name in FCP 7.
7. Open Premiere Pro.
8. File>Import>find the XML file and click Import.
9. You will see a window for the translation report. This report tells you how Premiere deals with any effects, titles or transitions that did not translate. For instance, if my fonts didn’t translate, the report will tell me what font it used to replace it. Or if my cross dissolve did not translate, Premiere replaced it with a dissolve. Click OK.

10. In the project panel, you will see a bin with the name of your project. The bin includes the clips, the sequences and the translation results file. To see what did not transfer, open the translation results file.
11. Open the sequence and scrub through to make sure everything is working!

And there you have it folks. Premiere makes it fairly easy to make a smooth transition from FCP7.

While, If you got some Final Cut Pro exported QuickTime to Premiere, my fear is that Adobe Premiere is not going to like the source files. In this case, you will need a MOV file converter, and then convert MOV to MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere Pro editing. Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac is just the right app for you.

This Mac video converter is able to convert different formats MOV, MTS/M2TS, MP4, MXF, XAVC, XAVC S, MKV, AVI, WMV to video editing software compatible file types, i.e. MPEG-2 for Premiere Pro, DNxHD for Avid Media Composer, ProRes for FCP, Apple InterMediate Codec for iMovie to meet your different needs.
