  Conforming XDCAM in FCP from an offline AVID EDL

  Posted by Anna Fuller on August 5, 2009 at 4:05 pm

  Hi, can anyone help me?

  I’m using Media Composer and linking the xdcam with AMA and then transcoding to do my offline. I’m now at a stage where I’ve exported an EDL so I can conform/online it in FCP. So I’ve relinked in the avid to the original xdcam files and succesfully exported the edl,

  … but then I realised how do I batch import them? If I find them manually and use the xdcam transfer software to import them and then reconnect the edl, that works, but that’s painstaking and I’m guessing there’s another way that I haven’t figured out yet.

  Thanks in advance
  Anna

  I’d ask on the Avid and FCP forums.

  Hi Anna

  Have a look at Calibarted Q’s Import MXF software solution
  https://www.calibratedsoftware.com/MXFImport_Mac.asp

  With that you should be able to use that to import the EDL to FCP and relink directly to the original XDCAM media

  Certainly worth grabbing the demo

  Best
