  • Quick Avid to FCP question ( be gentle!)

    Hey,
    quick one. Project being cut in Avid, HD 24p, client needs to conform a ‘just cuts’ reel and will give me a CMX EDL. Will this work in FCP? Has anyone done this before?

    Any help, as always gratefully recieved…

    I have done exactly that Avid to FCP via EDL thing in NTSC, and it worked fine. It should work just as well with an HD 23.98 sequence, but I cannot say that I have actually done it.

    There are many flavors of CMX. I prefer CMX 3600. Avid EDL Manager defaults to CMX340 and to change that you have to dig around.
