Vegas EDL’s and FCP
Hi,
My friend asked me to polish her short film that she cut on Vegas 2.0 on her PC, so I tried to export an EDL which I wanted to open in FCP 4.5 (Mac OS 10.3.9), and as I feared, FCP could not read the EDL made in this older version of Vegas. Wondering if anyone knows if there’s a plug-in or a work-around that could help me import an EDL from Vegas to FCP, in order to salvage what my friend has already cut, or if the solution is to re-edit her film from scratch!
When I did a google search, I saw there was a plug-in to import Vegas EDL’s into After Effects and Premiere.
Any suggestions?
THANK YOU!

wild guess here .. she might try ?
download trial V6 .. then open the VEG with V6.. then export out a AAF file for the mac .. if V6 trial version will not allow use of AAF perhaps a friend owns it and take the Veg/clips to their house etc …or use V5/V6 and use the EDL export script ..i think there’s a V4 EDL export script around … so there’s got to be somebody she knows that has V4-V6 .. have them open the V2 VEG and use EDL script export …

Hi, thanks for the tip. My friend opened her project in V6, and she was able to export an AAF, which is still not readable in FCP 4.5, but is readable in After Effects, and opens all of the media files, but not the timeline or sequence, which still doesn’t help us work on the sequence. Plus I’m not really familiar with using AAF files.
However, the thought of going forward with the polishing in Vegas 6.0 is encouraging. Can anyone suggest a good Vegas tutorial book for FCP users?
Thanks!
