Making EDL for Color from PremierPro (Glue Tools?)
I need to prepare project for color grading in Color. Editing is finished with Premier Pro on PC, all footages are 2K uncompressed AVI 24fps. Feature film (cartoon), about 900 shots.
1. I need to do batch convert all AVI files to DPX, but I’m not sure what to use to do automated, quality conversion.
2. If i export EDL from Premier Pro, can i later reconnect DPX footages in FCP with Glue tools?
3. Finally, i must export low res QT version, send to supervising editor for final tune, and again reconnect that project with DPX sequences and make EDL for Color.Any suggestions?
Thanks… -

There is a Color forum, that may be a better place to ask.
On your PC, Blackmagic Framelink should be able to convert the files to DPX. It comes with the drivers which is a free download. Not sure if you need a card installed to use it or whether or not they allow it.
Rest of your plan sounds solid except one issue. Color only works with certain codecs, and I doubt GlueTools DPX is one of them. And unfortunately if you export to another Quicktime codec, it will render it as 8-bit even if you’re going to a 10-bit codec. Quicktime can only render RGB codecs at 8-bit. Dirty little secret I recently learned on another thread here.
