I’m pretty certain that the issue with importing an EDL into FCP is that it is “bitchy” when it comes to handling M2 EDL events. These are varispeeded events. FCP performs some of the M2 events, while skipping and flagging errors on others, so I don’t know what the science (or lack thereof) is. Thanks for the Premiere suggestion…..we’ll give that a try. It’s way easier than editing slugs into FCP for all the missing FCP events!
By the way, for our friends at BlackMagic…….this wouldn’t be an issue if we didn’t have to jump through all these hoops just to be able to work on DROP FRAME shows! Which is, say 90% of the work we do.
