Importing EDL from AVID into Premiere with Alexa-Footage

Hi,
here is what I am trying to achieve:
1. Edit in AVID with Alexa Footage
2. Export EDL
3. Import EDL in Premiere
4. Relink Media
5. Export to After Effects
Here is a little piece out of my EDL:
007 A008C010 V C 01:34:45:02 01:34:45:19 01:00:08:18 01:00:09:10
008 A008C001 V C 00:15:30:16 00:15:32:01 01:00:09:10 01:00:10:20
009 A008C006 V C 00:52:43:08 00:52:45:21 01:00:10:20 01:00:13:08
The import of the EDL works fine in Premiere. My objects in the Project Panel are called "A008C010", "A008C001", and so on. When I'm trying to relink the media I need to select every single project-item because Premiere doesn't recognize my files automatically based on the connection to the filename.
I tried lots of stuff, renaming my files without extension -> Premiere doesn't accept the files anymore, renaming my items in Project Panel "name" and "tape name" -> the relink-media doesn't recognize the same name, and so on.
What am I missing here?
Thank you!

Hi there.
Premiere needs to have the full file name with extension in the EDL itself.  Changing it in the project after the EDL has been imported won't work. All you need to do is change your EDL to look like:
007 A008C010.mov V C 01:34:45:02 01:34:45:19 01:00:08:18 01:00:09:10
008 A008C001.mov V C 00:15:30:16 00:15:32:01 01:00:09:10 01:00:10:20
009 A008C006.mov V C 00:52:43:08 00:52:45:21 01:00:10:20 01:00:13:08
Should be able to do a simple Search and Replace on your EDL in any wordpad editing software... just search for  " V "  (note the space before and after the "V") and replace with ".mov V " (with a space after the "V")
Cheers!

  • Problem importing aaf from AVID into Premiere Pro CC

    I have a simple AVID project without crazy effects, few dissolves that's it. I am trying to transfer my sequence to PP CC in line with adobe.tv video found here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/moving-to-adobe-premiere-pro-/importing-an-a vid-projects.
    However, PP loads the sequence without any clips in it, only one audio file has survived. No error log, no link media dialogue. I have definitely exported all video tracks and everything is fine when I reimport the aaf file back into AVID.
    Is anyone experiencing the same thing?
    Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1, AVID MC 7.0,  MacPro 8-core (2010), OSX 10.8.4

    The AAF import is somewhat limited. There are resources linked to from this page that give information about this workflow.

  • Import jpeg from photoshop into premiere pro CS5 and keep exact proportions.

    We are trying to insert jpegs into the timeline of a project that was captured DV movie frame 720 x 480.  A graphics person has created jpegs with the frame size of 1440 x 960.  When I import that into Premiere, we have a black space above and below the safe margins when I scale to frame size and am first wondering if that will be ok.  When I change the image size to 720 x 480 and import that and put it in the timeline, the pictures seem to be a little elongated. Can you please tell me how to import the jpegs into premiere and keep the exact proportions for the jpegs?

    By changing the pixel aspect ratio to 720 x 534, all works perfectly now.  Thank you for the help.

  • Can't import audio from clip into Premiere Pro CC.

    I can export a clip, with audio, from Premiere Pro, but when I import it back into PP the audio track is missing.  I noticed that when I delete the .xmp file from the file folder the audio will import with the clip successfully.  Can someone please instruct me as to how I can edit the .xmp file so as to correct this problem?  Thanks.

    I export a clip using the "match sequence settings".
    Mmm, don't ever use that.  It's for people who don't know what they're doing, and often causes more problems that it solves.
    Better to know what you're doing and set up your export manually.  Try that, then report back what happens.

  • Importing emails from Entourage into MAIL with Leopard

    Went through the importing procedure but only 20% of emails imported into MAIL and then all emails were deleted from Entourage. Any similar problems or ideas on how to retrieve emails in Entourage?

    I had this problem with 5 years of saved mailboxes. I figured out a way to get around it. After importing to macmail from entourage to set up macmail, I opened the import folder in macmail and deleted all the mailboxes as some had mail but most did not (I did not want to sift through >25K mails to make sure I did not miss one). Keep both macmail and entourage programs open. Create a temporary subfolder in the inbox on the exchange server using entourage. Move all the mailboxes containing mail to this subfolder in the inbox through entourage. Once everything is moved to the inbox, switch to macmail. Highlight all the mailboxes containing mail that are in the temporary folder in the inbox on the exchange server. Drag them to the import folder in macmail.
    I can now discard Entourage and its clunkiness.

  • Export .wav with markers from Audition into Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hi,
    I need help in getting a multitrack mixdown with markers from Audition into Premiere.
    This is what I have:
    An Audition CS5.5 multitrack session with lots of markers
    This is what I did to export:
    Audition > File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session > .wav & "include markers and other metadata"
    When I import that .wav in Premiere Pro there are no markers, neither in the source monitor, nor in the sequence.
    When I import it into After Effects, all markers are there. Unfortunately, this does not help me in my editing in Premiere.
    Is there any workaround for that? A direkt export from Audition via
    Multitrack > Export to Premiere Pro
    did not help either.
    There is a thread on this in Soundtbooth (sorry for posting there, too) where it is stated that it should work in Premiere, too:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3908899#3908899
    Please help, regards,
    Andreas

    Hi Tim,
    first of all, thank you for your help.
    I also just filed a bug report, as you suggested.
    Now let me share the results of checking out the workaround that you suggested:
    1. Export to Premiere Pro via "Mulitrack menu > Export to Adobe Premiere Pro"
    I had tried that before and found it not working. This was a partial mistake. What I mean by that is, when you do that, the exported .wav files get automatically added to the sequence timeline. And do not show markers. BUT, what I overlooked was, that there is a sequence created alongside which resides in the project panel. This sequence does in fact include the markers, as sequence markers.
    Now comes the bitter part: When I delete the automatically added .wav from the timeline and replace it with said sequence, the markers are treated as clip markers. By contrast to After Effects, in Premiere Pro clip markers do not contain any text / names. I.e. all metadata is lost except the mere fact of anonymous markers on the timeline.
    2. Export to Premiere Pro via " File menu > Export > FCP XML Interchange Format"
    Same as above. Except, that I had not tried that before. What I had tried before was ...
    3. Export via " File menu > Export > OMF"
    Interestingly, this cannot be imported in Premiere Pro at all. Could this be another bug?
    Comment:
    I really hope that the markers export/import gets fixed soon.
    I also wished, that clip markers in Premiere Pro would be as intelligent as in After Effects (naming, updating, showing their text clearly in the timeline)
    I also wished that sequence markers would be as intelligent as comp markers in After Effects in showing their text clearly in the timeline.
    ... but thats a lot of wishing going on
    Kind regards,
    Andreas

  • When importing rendered clips from davinci into premiere they look darker and more contrasty.

    After importing the graded and rendered clips from davinci into premiere pro cc they look darker and more contrasty. I've checked the exported files from DaVinci and they look totally fine if you play them with any media player, but when I import them in Premiere Pro CC, they appear darker and way more contrasty than I've graded them in Resolve. Anyone have a solution for that?
    Thanks!
    Andrew

    This is a long-standing and complicated issue.  To start with, different media players interpret footage differently.  You can hope for the best, but there can be no expectation that footage in one player will look the same in another.  Ridiculous, but true.  The situation is further aggravated by different display cards and different monitors, and no prevailing standards of how color and levels are interpreted.
    In your specific case, you need to look at the waveforms, in Resolve and in PPro.  It sounds as if the blacks are being crushed in PPro, which could mean you're monitoring them at 64 in Resolve, but they're being output at 0 or remapped to 0 in PP.   This may also relate to whether you've monitoring with data or video levels in Resolve. 
    Is there a setting in PPro which covers how values are mapped, as data or video?  I think so, but just can't recall....  Anybody?  Staff?

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Why would an After Effects comp be imported without the sound into Premiere?

    Hi, everyone. I hope someone can help me out with this. Basically I have a comp with lots of .mts video files and .mp3 audio ones. AE crashes when rendering, blaming the MTS files. I don't fancy converting all the MTS to MOV (huge difference in terms of size), then replacing them with the new MOVs.
    I was therefore hoping to be able to import the AE comp into Premiere and render from there. Rendering the video is not a problem, but for some reason there is no sound... Anyone know why this may be?
    I am working with CS4.
    Thank you!

    You may not fancy converting the mts files, but you have to because you run AE 9.  If you had AE 10, you wouldn't have to do that.
    And you should never, EVER use mp3 files in AE if you want a good-sounding audio track.  Or in your case, any kind of audio.  In fact, you should never use ANY kind of compressed audio.  Stick with wav and aiff files.
    So quit wringing your hands and start convertin' them files!

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

  • CANNOT IMPORT FCP  .XML FILE INTO PREMIERE PRO CS5

    Hi,
    Camera used:-Sony Pmw Ex3
    Footage       :- XDCAM  sp(1440 * 1080i) PAL
    Edited in      :-final cut pro 7
    Error            :- failed  to import .xml file into premiere pro cs5
    I tried  to import the .xml file into premiere CS5 ,it asked for the media files  to relink .whn i linked the .mp4 files it showed the  error messege "The  selected file cannot be linked becouse it has 2 audio channel(s) and  the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s).
    then i tried to relink the .mov instead of .mp4 file (which i  used in final cut pro on apple machine)i got  the error "Codec missing  or unavailable"
    what should i do???..i almost done all the  editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can  finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

    What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.

  • Importing photos from iphoto into idvd

    I am trying to import photos from iphoto into idvd for a slideshow. When the photos move into idvd they are not in the same order as they were in the iphoto library. What could be the possible cause of this?? I did go into iphoto and place comments in after the fact. Would that have anything to do with it?

    Try this possible solution from acgray on Mac OS X Hints:
    I have worked with many users who like to take iPhoto albums and make DVDs of them with iDVD. However, one very annoying bug (feature?) has to do with the fact that when you are in iDVD, it randomizes the sort order of the Photos in your album. Not only that, but it is painstaking and time consuming changing the order in iDVD.
    My solution..
    Select All in the album in iPhoto you want to use in iDVD as a slideshow. Then use File -> Export -> File Export. The secret is to select "Use Album Name" as this will rename the images in sequential order, based on the order that you put them in. Save them in their own new folder somehwere easy to find (ie on the Desktop).
    Then, in iDVD, either drag, or I believe you can import the entire folder into the Slideshow project window, and voila! your slides are in order. I believe you can throw away the folder with the exported images as they should now be saved into the Project, but don't quote me on that.

  • Importing issues from itunes into garageband

    I am having trouble importing songs from Itunes into garageband. This has happened sometime within the last 3-4 weeks or so and the first time I noticed it was today. It won't let me click and drag from itunes. It just bounces back.  I am able to go into my finder and click & drag the file, so it's not a copyright issue...besides, I tried dragging from itunes a song I've already used in garageband and it's not working either. I updated itunes yesterday...could this be the problem???
    I haven't updated to iLife..to be honest, don't really know much about it, because every time I click on the "tell me more" tab, it says it can't redirect me to the page that has the info on it ....*Gahhh* frustrating!  ...could there be some kind of plug-in or something missing?  I'm not super-techy, but I can do enough to get me by...Any help you guys can provide me with would be greatly appreciated!!

    I am also having the same problem.  i can drag the files out of the music folders but I can not drag any file out of the itunes screen.  The files are .mp3 and are in lowercase letters.  I tried a recommended fix where the files were reconverted in iTunes, but trying conversions in both .mp3 and .aiff did not work. Also, trashing a certain preference file was recommended on a discussions board but that did not work either. Until there is a solution, I'll have to work in Audacity.

  • Drag and drop from Lightroom into Premiere doesn't work in Windows

    I recently switched from OSX to Windows and noticed that in Windows, I'm unable to drag and drop from LIghtroom into Premiere. In OSX, it worked fine.
    I do this a lot because it's a time saver. I basically use lightroom to find the photo or video clip I need for my editing project and then just drag in right on to the Premiere timeline. Now I have to do the extra step in Lightroom of "show in explorer", then drag the file from explorer to Premiere. Not really a big deal but just curious why it works in OSX and not Windows.
    I'm running latest Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.4, Camera Raw 8.4, and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33)

    Hi Pete,
    You can obtain scripts here:
    http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins#MiscScripts
    You'll have to edit lua code to adapt for Premiere. Not that hard really (e.g. clone, then change the script name and path to executable..), but may be too intimidating for some folks. If you are one of those folks, go for the plugin instead - it's usable via GUI - no lua code - can probably accomplish the same thing.

    Let me know (outside the forum please) if problems - thanks,
