  BVE-900 for FCP Logging

  Posted by Dominik Bochenski on May 20, 2005 at 5:19 am

  Has anyone (ever) tried to use a bve-900 to create a FCP log for capture? Is it possible?

  I think you can’t make a log with a BVE (directly)

  You CAN create an EDL
  – Then strip everything except from REEL, Source In and Source out from that EDL.
  – In Excel (or other) change the column heading to the proper names (See FCP manual about proper column names) and save that as plain text. FCP is very critical about that.
  – Import it in FCP as batchlist.

  NB 1: Outpoints will be off by one frame (because of the difference in defining outpoints between BVE’s and FCP; see replies to your other post)

  NB 2: From the BVE, make sure to save as CMX3600. The Sony EDL’s are in JIS instead of plain text and will leave you with a lot of strange characters in Word or Excel.
