Automatic Duck Pro Import AE 5.0 (Win 64-bit for CS5 or CS5.5) - Manual (Page 3)

Validate timecode of found Final Cut media
Sometimes customers run into a situation
where they have multiple copies of a
media file available on their system, each
with different durations perhaps due to
running stuff through FCP's Media
Manager. In a case like this when Pro
Import AE searches for media to import
into After Effects it is possible to connect up with the wrong media file, producing
undesirable results.
When you enable this option Pro Import AE will open the candidate media files it finds
and verify the start timecode of the file matches what the FCP XML file says it should
be.
This does slow down the import somewhat, but if you are in a situation where it is
necessary to enable this feature you won't mind.
Replace proxy footage with related R3D media files
Often you're editing in Final Cut Pro not
with original R3D files, but instead with
lower resolution proxy QuickTime media
created by using Log & Transfer. When
Final Cut Pro creates this proxy media it
also saves into the Final Cut project
information about the R3D file from which
the proxy was generated. Pro Import AE offers you the option to import these R3D files
into After Effects instead of the smaller proxy media.
This option probably only works if you have used FCP's Log and Transfer tool to create
your proxy media files. If you create proxies using an outside application Final Cut Pro
has no knowledge of the original R3D media files and so this information can't make it
into the XML file for Pro Import AE to do something about.
Since your R3D files are probably larger than your proxy material you will also want to
use the Override composition setting option.
This option requires you be using at least After Effects CS4 version 9.0.2 with the RED
plug-in installed, or After Effects CS5.
