    Hi all
    When i open an edl in Edl Manager then send a sequence to the Avid xpress,the sequence is empty.
    I want to know how create a sequence with timecode in it with the edl in Edl Manager.
    Thanks.

    When you import the EDL and correctly set the frame rate, do you see events in the EDL Manager window? From there, when hitting the arrow to the same frame rate project type, you will be prompted by a project type window. Correctly set that and then you will be asked what bin in which to put the sequence. Once imported, you should see the sequence and a master clip for every source tape used.

    If you are creating an EDL from Avid then sending it right back, you may run into this. Make sure you save the EDL out to the desktop first, clear EDL Manager, then start the above process.

    When I import the edl and send to Avid xpress, I still only see an empty sequence, and no master clip as you said, the project frame rate is no problem, why?
