  EDL from Premiere to Final Cut

  Posted by Mika Raatikainen on May 14, 2009 at 8:40 am

  Hi, I’m having trouble importing edl-files from Premiere CS4 to Final Cut. For some reason Premiere names the clips after the reel-name, instead of the clip itself. So basically the edl imports to FCP without trouble, and all the edit points etc are correct, but every clip has the same name, thus making it very time-consuming to reconnect the clips, which really defeats the purpose of using edl’s. Is there a way to edit Premiere’s edl-preferences more in-depth than the export window?

  Or if there’s a better way to export a project from Premiere to Final Cut?

  The weird thing is that the name of the clip is in the file, under the timecodes.

  Heres what the edl looks like:

  TITLE: edl_test
  FCM: NON-DROP FRAME
