Premiere Pro Export to Final Cut
I went to a seminar/dog and pony show here for CS4 here in Seattle at Adobe Fremont in about February of this year. At the event it was announced that Premiere Pro would be able to export to Final Cut with an update in April.
Well, April has come and gone. There has been no such update as far as I know. Adobe tech support was useless in this regard. Does anyone have any information?
Have a project coming up in which export to Final Cut would be very handy.

i read something about adobe having to wait on apple to supply them with the backend for final cut before they could do this,
alternatively you can quite easily export an EDL from Premiere and import it into FCP then reconnect all your media
you will lose filters and the ilk, but all your cut points and transitions will be retained

Thanks Peter…yours is the first post out of 10 or so I have had here or elsewhere that actually answered my question. I infer that Apple is dragging its feet on cooperation. That would not be surprising since development on Premiere Pro and other tools has moved ahead while Apple seems to be concentrating on gadgets and not on Final Cut.
I have used an edl to export to Final Cut. Unfortunately, it is very limited. When it works, the cuts pop up on the Final Cut timeline. More often though, you have to laboriously assemble the cuts manually.
And it works with cuts only…no transitions, titles, opacity…nothing.One can export using AAF, automated authoring format, that seems to be somewhat more versatile. Never used it myself though.
Thanks again.

no problems 🙂
i think your correct on apple dragging their feet, the comments i read from adobes dev kinda hinted that apple werent necessarily enthused about the whole idea

You may have heard the news backwards. In April/May the Premiere Pro 4.1 update came out supporting Final Cut to Premiere export, but not the other way around.

I don’t think so…the important from Final Cut was in place at the time of the presentation…the other way was forthcoming. Peter above mentioned that he saw something about it as well.

i think Pat probably saw the same presentation i did, they definately mentioned it was forthcoming, but i dont recall any date
