    Hi all

    every once in a while I need to import a CMX3400a edl into FCP to finish or update a project (from a different NLE). However another editor on this forum and i have determined that FCP drops all the video transitions normally listed in our EDL’s such as wipes dissolves etc

    does anyone know why? is there a fix? my wokaround has been to capture the footage for the sequence with extra handle, and add the dissolves manually, but that adds time.

    thanx in advance

    That could be the problem.

    Can they supply a CMX3600 edl?

    That type has the least issues I found.

    Though it was in days past when I offlined to Avid
    and onlined to smoke.
