BVE-900 for FCP Logging

[Rienk Leendertse]

I think you can’t make a log with a BVE (directly)

You CAN create an EDL
– Then strip everything except from REEL, Source In and Source out from that EDL.
– In Excel (or other) change the column heading to the proper names (See FCP manual about proper column names) and save that as plain text. FCP is very critical about that.
– Import it in FCP as batchlist.

NB 1: Outpoints will be off by one frame (because of the difference in defining outpoints between BVE’s and FCP; see replies to your other post)

NB 2: From the BVE, make sure to save as CMX3600. The Sony EDL’s are in JIS instead of plain text and will leave you with a lot of strange characters in Word or Excel.
