    Hi folks,

    I’m pretty certain there is a way to import an avid project (bin info. & edls) to a final cut system. But I can’t find where on the web how to do it. I am NOT trying to do an OMF transfer (Automatic Duck), Just the edls and the bin info. I have the tapes and the other raw elements. Can someone help me? thanks.

    Rick

    The only ways I’ve heard that work are an EDL or XML files.
    You can build the EDL easily by dropping all of your clips into one timeline and exporting the EDL of the timeline.
    Everything goes to hell if you have splits, l-cuts, effects, or speed changes.

    Please note: I have no experience with this process, I’ve just been watching such posts for years.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
