  Trying to export Avid Sequence into FCP

  Posted by Aimie Burns on November 14, 2011 at 8:52 pm

  Hey,

  Not sure if anyone on here can help me. But a client of ours has asked me to make an Avid Project that we have into a FCP project, and I keep running into walls.
  This project was edited in Avid – using P2 Media, that is linked via AMA.

  Things I’ve Done:
  Master Sequence – Consolidate to external drive – Select consolidated SEQ – Export AAF – I’ve tried, copy media to folder, copy media to Embed, Link to media.

  Inport into FCP – using either Automatic Duck Plug in, or the Boris FX AAF Import plugin.

  The Issues:
  When using Automatic duck – I can select use “existing media” – and the video files will come online, but only 5 audio clips on 1 track come online – there are 10 Audio tracks.
  I tired a 25 second piece – Embedded AAF – everything came online, tried again with the whole sequence – 8 minutes – FCP crashed, AAF file is just under 5GB.

  When using Boris FX – the whole sequence appears – but once it has loaded – all media is offline – and I’m battling trying to figure out how to make the media come online. When I go to “reconnect” media – it won’t find the correct clip – and when I navigate to it, it gives me another error at import – incorrect reel name etc.

  SYSTEM:
  Mac OS 10.6.4
  2 x 3.2GHz Quad
  Core Intel Xeon, 12 GB Ram
  AVID: 5.5.3
  FCP: 7.0

  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks!
  Aimie
