  Exporting EDL or XML file for use in FCP

  Posted by Max Butler on March 13, 2009 at 1:55 am

  Hi,

  I am using Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0 and trying to figure out how to export an EDL or XML file for use in FCP. I have read some articles on here, but can’t get as far as even creating an EDL file. Could someone help me with the steps here? Thanks in advance.

  Not sure about Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0 but in Vegas 8 you can file>save as and select ‘EDL text file [*txt]’ from the dropdown menu.

  When you do a “save as” in Vegas Pro, you have the option of saving your project as an EDL or AAF file (in the drop down template box) in addition to a veg file.
  I’m not sure if VMS Platinum has this option or not so you’ll have to take a look at it.

  Hi

  Juat a point of note here. I was/am using Vegas 8 Pro and had to collaborate on a project with a fellow who was Final Cut Pro.

  We tried everything EDL, AAF, XML Nothing worked! FCP uses an XMF or FCP.

  I finally had to get a MacBook pro and Final Cut Express which did work after he upgraded to Studio 2. Then I got more proficient and needed some features that FCE didn’t have so I also got Studio 2.

  So if someone does figure out a way, let me know as well because it don’t work.

  I’ll be upgrading all my computers to Mac’s soon with a Mac Pro for my editing computer plus maybe an iMAC for my internet computer, but I’ll also use Boot Camp, install XP and keep my Vegas. I’ll never get rid of Vegas!!!
