EDL import

[Gunleik Groven]

Hi

Have an EDL from AVID (yeah... I know... which actually imports quite fine, excepts from the clip-names being wrong.

The EDL has all the right names and in- and outpoints, and a line from it looks like this:

001 A001_C014_080726 V C 18:13:04:02 18:13:17:04 01:00:00:00 01:00:13:02

Problem is that the files come in with the name V only, and I need the full name to match the files.

NOW, these are short sequences and can be matched manually, but what goes wrong here?

Cheers!

V is for Video... it means picture... it could also be A for audio
C is for cut... it could also be D as dissolve.

So V is not part of your clip name.

I get that much But Thanks.

I guess I have to re-order the edl in some way... as FCP reads the V as the clip name.

The Avid EDL has long ReelID names. The CMX standard is 8 characters or less. In EDL Manager, make sure that long names are turned off and try again...
