This is great! Regarding ALE creation… are there templates or programs that correctly format ALE files for Avid? I’ve been searching for resources all day and there isn’t much that I’ve found so far. Also when creating an ALE in Excel or TextWrangler is there a way to export as a .ale? I feel like the process must be more complex than just changing the extension at the finder level. Thanks again for all your help.

Ok so I was able to export an ALE out of premiere, bring the ALE into Avid and then I did a batch reimport to link the ALE to the original video. If I go into that ALE file can I add in my own metadata so that it corresponds to the metadata columns in Avid?

Thanks for your reply Michael,
Generally, my work flow is to make OPatom proxies in Resolve and them bring them into Avid as this allows me to have control over reel names and other important metadata. In this case, the files I’m working with are very small and I can edit in full res.
In the research I’ve done I’ve seen ALE files (?) mentioned but I’ve never worked with them before. Also, it does look like Adobe Bridge creates a sidecar file that’s only visible in adobe CC programs and applications such as MediaInfo. I guess my question at this point boils down to whether or not it’s possible to embed metadata in a video file and have it carry over into Avid.
I appreciate your help!
