  • Can;t export proper EDL from Final Cut Pro 6

    Posted by Marc Landers on May 24, 2013 at 8:39 pm

    I’ve been trying for days, weeks now, to export an EDL from my Final Cut Pro 6 sequence. I keep getting the same error message:

    The media files of one or more clips are missing reel names and may also be missing timecode tracks. Proceeding with the export will result in an EDL that cannot capture or reconnect all the media used.

    I went through all my clips and added reel names, went to Modify–>Timecode to give reel names and timecode to slugs and music tracks, and nothing seems to be working. If I take just a piece, it works fine, but the whole thing just won’t work, even though I’ve gone through it twice. There is one clip that somehow (I don’t know how) became variable speed. There’s actually a lot of speedramped clips and some SmoothCam slips that need to be reanalyzed. Could any of this be the problem? It’s driving me crazy. Help!
