  Media 100 to FCP EDL

  Posted by Ashley James on March 19, 2007 at 8:03 pm

  I posted this on the Media 100 forum but no responses. I have a Media 100i 7.5 system and am having trouble importing an EDL to Final Cut Pro. I exported with both CMX 3400 and 3600 from M100 but when I import the EDL into Final Cut all I get is a list of video and audio clips. What I really need is the sequence or timeline so that I can redigitize (batch capture) the clips in the correct order in a timeline

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I’ve done this several times and it’s always worked fine for me, so I don’t know where your particular problem lies. I export using CMX 3600 format (the Sony 5000 choice gives you new reel names 001,002 etc) whereas the CMX 3600 tranfers the orginal reel names. When I import into FCP, I get a new sequence with offline media as well as a new bin with all the clips used in the sequence. That’s just to tell you it “should” work… The M100 I export from is version 8.2.3, though I don’t see how that would make a difference. An EDL is an EDL…
  Hope you find the bug!
