EDL from FCP -> AE CS3
Hey People
We shot some stuff in front of greenscreen and I did the edit in FCP. So now I want to take all this in AE and do some keying. I could render it out first through FCP and bring into AE, but I thought it is best to export an EDL and import it into AE.But AE doesn’t do this. 🙁
Is there a workaround for this?
Please let me know.Thanks.

Hi,
Automatic Duck does a very good job of translating the timeline.
https://www.automaticduck.com/products/
I just started using it last week and I am quite happy with the results. It is a bit pricy, but considering it took a few seconds to do what took me a couple hours to do previously, what you save in time makes up for thee cost.
I believe if you want to translate the AE timeline back to FCP, you would need to buy another version of Automatic Duck so if you need a great deal of flexibility, it can be quite costly, but again, the speed gain may be worth the cost.
Hope this helps,
Lars

ok thanks for that.
Yikes… It is pricy. Perhaps someone has an alternative, before I need to buy this.Karim Cherif

In Case anyone wants to know later on… I found this script that does what I wanted. And it is free. You just need to export XML from FCP.
And install this script in the AE\Scripts folder:
