EDL loading problems

[nima]

Hi all,
we are currently working with Assimilate Finish 5.1.
We are trying to load a Premiere CS EDL onto Scratch, but the software is not able to match any of the clips.
I am sure we are doing someyhing wrong here.

- scratch source folder for the project is the same source folder of CS4, it is basically our source media folder.
- The r3d file structure has been maintained from shooting to editing

We tried to match clips by TC, file name and eaxh and every option.. but no luck. Scratch is not able to match the EDL with any of our clips.

Thanks for any suggestion!

When conforming in SCRATCH, you have to load the source material in a Construct. Load Layers, set depth to 4 or 5 or above and select .R3D in the file dropdown on the right, navigate to the root folder of your source media and Load. That should load all your R3Ds into the Construct.

Load your EDL, choose your match criteria and select Conform to New Construct. After checking the conform with a QT reference of the offline, you can delete the Construct containing the source material.

Cheers,
Fredrik

thanks, it's now working.
All the clips were found, although the editing order is different.

Maybe I have to select a differenr match criteria.
