Avid Media Composer First export to premier

[Pat Horridge]

I’m afraid your out of luck. The Free Avid version has limited export options and none allow transfer to another NLE.

You can’t even open the bins or project in the paid version of Avid. That said it’s not a good idea to move from Avid to Premiere. If it’s simple just export a guide and re cut in Premiere. It will be quicker.

Adding to Pat’s advice, don’t forget that once you have your exported file in the Premiere Pro Sequence, you can use the “scene edit detection” command to find all of your edit points.
(right click on video clip in sequence, and select “scene edit detection”)

To export a timeline from Avid Media Composer First to Premiere, you can use the AAF export function

Go to File > Export > AAF and choose your export settings. Once you have exported the AAF file, you can import it into Premiere by going to File > Import and selecting the AAF file
