Vegas project file in FCP?

[Theo Van laar]

You can save your Vegas project as EDL and try to open this EDL in FCP.

If (and it’s a big if) this will work, the usuall recommendation is that the timeline be very simple (i.e. cuts only and no FX) as anything else probably won’t transfer over.

Nope! No can do.

We’ve tried EDL and MXF before. There’s been a few posts about this not long ago.

That’s why I had to get a MBP and originally Final Cut Express and between FCE-4.5 and FCP-5 we couldn’t even do it. My partner had to upgrade to FCP-6. Now we both got Studio 2. We each have a complete copy of the video and graphic files and just swap project files back and forth.

I do a lot of collaborting on my technical stuff with another fellow and we both have to have Final Cut. You can,. however render your project out to either AVI or MOV and send it to him that way.

So mow I’m on Vegas for some projects that don’t require collaborating and Studio 2 for those that do.

Sorry

Yep. That’s what I thought. It has been a real issue three times now.
I guess I will need to consider FCP. Thanks.

Or your friends can run boot camp on their macs, boot into windows and consider Vegas 😛
