    Does anyone know a way to transfer an Vegas project to FCP. It is an hour-long documentary project that is half way done. The previous editor was cutting it on Vegas but I’d much rather finish it up on Final Cut or Avid. My first idea was to export quicktimes of all the media, manually enter the original source time code and reel name then export an edl. However this would be a lot of work because of how much footage there is. I’m hoping there is an easer way. I saw you could save the Vegas Project file as an aaf. Then you can import an aaf into FCP using automatic duck. I’m not quite sure if this would work and I don’t especially want to buy Automatic duck to find out it doesn’t. Any knowledge on the subject or an alternative way would be greatly appreciated.

    Your best bet is to simply export an EDL from Vegas, then re-capture the media in FCP.
