EDL in Final Cut

[Costas]

Hey guys,

This is probably a real newbie question so sorry if it's something obvious! I've received a set of EDL files from a client and have imported them into FCP which is all fine, except for the following message that pops up at the start of each clip:
'EDL Import Error: Event 3. This event has only 1 clip name note, it should have 2.'
The reconnected files seem to display ok, so I'm not 100% sure if this is an issue.

I've opened up the EDL in Notepad and each entry is listed like this:
027 A005_C012_092271 V C
16:22:32:05 16:22:32:22 10:00:44:11 10:00:45:03
*FROM CLIP NAME: A005_C012_092271

I'm not certain why there are 4 timecode references and/or if that's related to the other issue above so any advice would be really appreciated.

Many thanks, and hope this is the correct forum for this question
