Red Giant, Automatic Duck Unite to Simplify Project Transfer and Media Management

Partnership Brings Seamless Project Transfer and Media Management

Red Giant, a software company known for its visual effects and motion graphics tools, has partnered with Automatic Duck to bring users two new products: Automatic Duck Ximport AE and Automatic Duck Media Copy 4.0.

Ximport AE allows users to copy entire projects directly from Final Cut Pro X to Adobe After Effects in one easy step, without requiring conversion or XML processing. This means that effects created using third-party plugins, such as those from Red Giant, as well as a number of Final Cut Pro X features, including compound clips, transforms, retimings and more, will be transferred over seamlessly from FCP X to AE.

Media Copy 4.0 uses AAF and XML to vastly simplify copying and moving media files from any Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X or Avid Media Composer/Symphony project. The product allows users to copy and move project media by reading the project's AAF or XML export and copying referenced files to a chosen destination.

Key Features

• Ximport AE: Copy entire projects directly from Final Cut Pro X to Adobe After Effects in one easy step, without requiring conversion or XML processing.
• Media Copy 4.0: Simplify copying and moving media files from any Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X or Avid Media Composer/Symphony project.
