EDL export not working!
I’m using OS 10.4.7 with FCP 5.1.1. I’m trying to output a 29.97 drop frame video EDL from a blackmagic 8 bit uncompressed codec timeline. Everytime I try to output a CMX EDL, no matter what my settings are, no file is created. I saw another post about the same problem and someone suggested that it was potentially a problem with using an older version of FCP or that there clips had no reel names. Well I believe my version of FCP and Quicktime is up to date, an my clips have reel numbers, yet the problem remains. Anyone have any ideas here. I need to get this EDL out in about a day, so the clock is ticking for me.

Well I solved this one on my own. The answer turned out to be fairly obvious. EDL export appears not to work if you have freeze frames or coloured frames generated in the “matte” option in the viewer. Once I purged these things from the timeline, the EDL exported no problem.
