I exported an EDL from Premiere Pro and imported it into FCP 6. That went fine and FCP reconfigured my timeline just like it looked in Premiere. It imported my source file names into my bin, and had their respective timecodes and other details correct. Of course, the files were offline and I was prompted to reconnect the media.
The files are all AVI files, which is what Premiere uses and which I realize are not "optimized" for FCP. When I reconnect each AVI to its corresponding filename in my bin I get an error from FCP saying: "Some attributes of the file you chose did not match the original... The attributes that differed are: Media start and end time; reel; number of audio and video tracks."
If I click "connect" I can successfully reconnect my AVI media to my FCP bin files, but, as the error states, the media start and end times are erased pushing back every AVI file to begin at 00;00;00. This of course ruins the use of my EDL-imported timeline because all my edits are wrong, which makes the whole thing useless.
QUESTION: is there a way to reattribute the correct timecode start and end times to my imported AVI files? (I've tried converting from AVI to MOV with Compressor, and it loses the original timecode).
Any help of resolving my issue is appreciated.
Thanks
Thomas
