Avid to FCP EDL problems!
Is there a way to convert a project from Avid to FCP without using Automatic Duck? I’d love to buy it but it’s too expensive for this one project. I tried exporting an EDL, using the CMX format, but the timecode has come through wonky. Would appreciate any advice,
thanks,

hey pam
You can transfer the Avid bin info using a freeware program called sebskys tools. he has written an ALE to FCP translater
you could also ask around and see if anyone could do an auto duck for you, maybe by the hour or something (thats probably waht you are doing now?)
Edls should work for the avid sequences, there are a few limits to the info that gets carried over. you can search this forum for EDL and you should get more info as to waht you can and cannot translate
however, i would be a little concerned about wonky timecode. ie if the footage was captured with erroneous tc, you may be stuck with that.
(wonky tc may be caused by other things as well, like avid dealing with nested comps, or graphics and such. May also be casued by using the word wonky in a sentence 🙂 )
hope this helps
