  • Exporting an EDL from Premiere Pro 2.0 to Final Cut

    Posted by Adam Avilla on June 4, 2008 at 2:09 am

    Hey everyone,

    I’ve been working on a feature length edit job on an old machine and am trying to move over on my new mac machine and work in Final Cut. When I try and export an EDL, Final Cut doesn’t recognize it as a valid file… What do I need to do?

    Thanks!

    Maybe you have a solution by now, but if not, you might try opening your EDL in a text editor and re-saving it. Also afterward you may have to change the extension to .edl if it gets changed by the text editor. Then try that file.

    That’s the first quick thing I can think to try that’s worked in the past for me on something….

    Unfortunately, PPro is woefully inadequate on EDL creation/support and FCP is only a few degrees better….

    Good luck!
