Trying to export Avid Sequence into FCP
Hey,
Not sure if anyone on here can help me. But a client of ours has asked me to make an Avid Project that we have into a FCP project, and I keep running into walls.
This project was edited in Avid – using P2 Media, that is linked via AMA.Things I’ve Done:
Master Sequence – Consolidate to external drive – Select consolidated SEQ – Export AAF – I’ve tried, copy media to folder, copy media to Embed, Link to media.Inport into FCP – using either Automatic Duck Plug in, or the Boris FX AAF Import plugin.
The Issues:
When using Automatic duck – I can select use “existing media” – and the video files will come online, but only 5 audio clips on 1 track come online – there are 10 Audio tracks.
I tired a 25 second piece – Embedded AAF – everything came online, tried again with the whole sequence – 8 minutes – FCP crashed, AAF file is just under 5GB.When using Boris FX – the whole sequence appears – but once it has loaded – all media is offline – and I’m battling trying to figure out how to make the media come online. When I go to “reconnect” media – it won’t find the correct clip – and when I navigate to it, it gives me another error at import – incorrect reel name etc.
SYSTEM:
Mac OS 10.6.4
2 x 3.2GHz Quad
Core Intel Xeon, 12 GB Ram
AVID: 5.5.3
FCP: 7.0Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Amie,
You might need to install the Calibrated{Q} software to make it work. You can download a demo trial version of Calibrated here:

If after installing this you are still having problems, please feel free to contact one of our support gurus, which you can reach via email (support@borisfx.com) or by phone (888-77-BORIS / 888-772-6747).
I hope this helps.

Hi Peter,
I have tried that, and I’m not getting too far with the Boris support team either ;(.
