  • Import edl with r3d clips

    Posted by Ben Dittrich on June 17, 2011 at 10:16 pm

    Hey Guys,

    i’am did some tests on an upcoming Project and got problems importing an edl.

    The edl comes from an Avid system and relates to some r3d clips.

    They are fine in the Media Pool, In the Browse Menue and in the Master Session, i can shuttle threw the clips without any Problem.

    But as soon as i Load a edl and want to conform, the clips got a Red Cross in

    I checked everything, the edl is fine and the names are all correct.

    Even when i change them manualy for the file and in the edl it will not work.

    I realy don’t get it….

    How do you guys import Red Material? Whats your Workflow, also with edls, or?

    Do you mind posting a few lines from the EDL? Keen eyes might spot problems easier that way

    Hey Everybody.

    Solved the Problem.

    There was 2 Seetings which didn’t match the edl

    In Config Menue and then under the source Tab:

    Make sure for: Master Red Decoder Settings that your timecode is set to the correct timecode your edl is edited with.
    Check in the Browser if the start tc matches the edl tc

    My default seeting was “Camera” the correct one for my purpose is “Absolute”

    But this doesn’t help when the system is looking at the wrong reel names, like in my case.

    So i changed in the Config Menue the Timeline conform options:

    Use timecode: Embedded in the source clip
    And then:
    Assist using reel numbers from the… i switched to: Embedding in the source clip file.

    After that everything matched the Informations which came along from the Avid edl

    Thanks everybody for help & I hope that helps if somebody has a similar problem.
