According to EDL Support - IRIDAS Online Documentation (http://doc.iridas.com/index.php/EDL_Support) FrameCycler DDS supports the CMX 3600 format for EDLs. A workflow I am working on is to make an edit in Final Cut Pro (which offers more precision for making frame-accurate edits) and then exporting an EDL file to our server for viewing with FrameCycler DDS in another room or facility.

I am able to open my EDL in FrameCycler, but two things are immediately wrong: the starting frame number in the timeline is 90000 (!!!) and the media does not load. All the media files are indeed on the server and I have made sure to edit the EDL to use absolute paths to the files.

Here's a shortened example of the EDL:


TITLE: FCP2FC_TEST
FCM: NON-DROP FRAME

001 AX V C 01:00:00:00 01:01:04:14 01:00:00:00 01:01:04:14
* FROM CLIP NAME: /PROD/FOO/FC_TEST/SEQ07_SRC.MOV

002 AX A C 00:00:00:00 00:02:10:22 01:00:00:00 01:02:10:22
* FROM CLIP NAME: /PROD/FOO/FC_TEST/SEQ07_SRC.AIFF

003 AX V C 00:00:00:01 00:00:20:14 01:01:04:14 01:01:25:02
* FROM CLIP NAME: /PROD/FOO/DAYLIES/LAYOUT/SEQ07_12_LAYOUT_V02.MOV

004 AX V C 01:01:25:02 01:01:27:21 01:01:25:02 01:01:27:21
* FROM CLIP NAME: /PROD/FOO/FC_TEST/SEQ07_SRC.MOV


Anyone have any ideas?
