More accurately, we put volume information into the OMF, even clip-based gain. However Nuendo 3.1 is only able to read keyframed volume information from our OMFs.

In that case export using the “Fast-Export QuickTime” option.

If you need your Avid timeline rebuilt in AE, take a look at Automatic Duck’s Pro Import AE.
If you’re just dealing with single clips, export out of Xpress DV as a QuickTime Reference movie.

Well. My protools guys told me that with fcp 5.0 the rubberband info is preserved within the omf file !!!
No, this is not the case, even in the latest FCP there is no volume info in the built-in OMF export.
Our Pro Export FCP plug-in does preserve volume information, and Nuendo 3.1 will be able to read it.
Just be sure that before you do the export you read the user guide, you’ll need to disable the export of pan information so that Nuendo will read the “rubberbands”.— Wes Plate

I’ve never heard of FCP’s OMF export messing up a project file, but anything is possible. Always save your project file before exporting.
Sorry.

Good advice, except that applications that require EDLs are not the same applications that can read FCP XML.

Try attaching the drive to an OS 9 system.
When my first LaCie 500GB drive died (a LaCie drive die? what?! 😉 ) I was able to get everything off by connecting the drive to an OS 9 system.
When my second LaCie 500GB drive died, I had prepared enough to deal with it.
I had a total of three LaCie 500GB drives, two are dead, the third is still going (with a fan pointed at it 24/7) but I will replace it before it goes on its down.

It cannot be accessed by Xpress Pro, sorry.

No, EDLs won’t help you, neither AE nor combustion can read an EDL. As you note, Pro Import AE and Pro Import Cmb are designed to solve what you’re doing, without them an alternative is to reconstruct your timeline by hand. Doable but time-consuming.
