  Avid format compatibility with FCP

  Posted by Jasmine1919 on November 15, 2006 at 4:34 pm

  Hello,

  i have never used avid, but have just received 4 hard drives full of footage which was edited on Avid. I have only Final cut Pro which uses Quicktime, could you tell me whether I will be able to play the footage and use it on FCP or not? And if not… what do i need to do?

  Thank you soo much for your help

  Jasmine

  You could go to Avid.com and download for free Avid Xpress DV editing software

  at: https://www.avid.com/register/xdv4_cpr.asp

  Then at least you’d be able to look at the footage – however I’m not sure whether this program allows you to export a project as a quicktime file and whether it is an easy import to FCP without Automatic Duck

  You could always learn a little Avid and finish the project with Xpress DV

  This doesn’t look free. I went to the link in the post and downloading this software requires that you be a registered user and supply an d ID number. Am I missing something?
