Automatic Duck new additions to Pro Import FCP, corrections to Pro Import AE & Development of Toon Boom - 16th September 2008
Pro Import FCP Version 2.04 addresses issues found since the 2.03 release last year and also adds new "Use Existing Media" codec compatibilies for DV25, DV50 and DVProHD Avid media.With Pro Import FCP 2.04 you can import Avid sequences that use DV25, DV50 or DVCProHD media with the "Use Existing Media" option and Pro Import FCP will create QuickTime reference movies to the Avid OMF or MXF media files using Apple's own QuickTime codecs. This means Final Cut Pro is very happy to play back the media files and you shouldn't see any possible conflicts from the Avid Codecs. Enjoy!
Pro Import AE 4.02. This version corrects issues discovered since the release of 4.01 last year. This includes a recent issue with QuickTime 7.4.1 on Windows.
Another exciting development in the world of Pro Import FCP is that it can now import AAF files exported from Toon Boom's StoryBoard Pro. StoryBoard Pro is excellent for creating animated storyboards and by bringing your animatic into Final Cut Pro you can work right away with your timings worked out in preproduction.Automatic Duck has teamed up with Toon Boom to offer excellent pricing on a bundle of Pro Import FCP and StoryBoard Pro.
