importing FCP CMX3600 edl and it’s targa images in AVID
Posted by Danielwu on September 14, 2007 at 6:26 amMy objective is to import subtitles to AVID on a PC platform.
The subtitles are Targa images and the sequence is FCP Apple EDL file.
It seems virtually impossible, has anyone done this before?Help!

September 14, 2007 at 1:16 pmedl manager will make a sequence from your edl and you can import the tga files with an inverted alpha. Otta work fine.

I can open the EDL in EDLmanager just fine.But when I transfer it to Avid the computer freezes. I tried using other workstations and the same thing happens.
I’m just a newbie with this, does anyone know what could be the problem?

September 15, 2007 at 6:21 pmfrom plugins and filters to reel names being too long, it’s hard to pin point the prob from here.
Just out of curosity tho
why are you taking it from fcp to Avid?
just seems kinda backwards these daze.

September 16, 2007 at 2:37 amI’m a subtitler working with Lemony Software to produce subtitles in Targa Images (FCP CMX3600) and EDL sequence for a client. The client uses Avid Xpress Pro.

EDL manager successfully imports the sequence.
I create a new bin and put the targa images into it.But how do I link the targa images with the sequence?
Right-click and relink doesn’t seem to do the trick.
