(Please note the XML from 7 into PP has some issues you cannot foresee. It gets the cuts pretty well, but that’s a simple EDL. The troublesome part has been translating workflow styles, for example, an editor used tiff mattes to make an editing effect (blinking falling thing transition), and when the XML came over the entire effect had to be rebuilt, and that meant dynamic link into After Effects, where I think the effect looked better, but, for the purposes here, the XML couldn’t do what it couldn’t do, and although deadline was made, there was some extra time involved.)
