hello. 

 

I exported EDL from premier and trying importing to Avid Media Composer, but ended up with sequence without any clip. 

I checked EDL and found out that there is no clip name. 

======

000001 AX AA/V C 00:00:00:00 00:05:15:25 00:00:00:00 00:05:16:05
* FROM CLIP NAME: 00000

000002 AX AA/V C 00:00:00:00 00:00:08:01 00:05:16:05 00:05:24:06
* FROM CLIP NAME: 00000.MTS

======

I edited text as below and it worked with Media Composer.

======

001 00000 V C 00:00:00:00 00:00:08:01 00:00:00:00 00:00:08:01
* FROM CLIP NAME: 00000.MTS

002 00000 AA C 00:00:00:00 00:00:08:01 00:00:00:00 00:00:08:01
* FROM CLIP NAME: 00000.MTS

======

Is there any way I can expoer right EDL from Premier or is this thecorrect EDL format from Premier?

or is this a bug?

Thank you for your reply Paul. 

 

I tried EDL export ticcking Include Original Video File Name but did not work. 

Same file as first result came out and could not import to Media composer.

 

I also changed Source file name and exported EDL ticking Use Source File Name but still result is same.
