[MacDV] Re: FCP EDL to AVID

[sb]

Importing is pointing the computer towards a file already on the hard drive.
Capturing is copying the data from the original videotape into the computer.

You say you "re-imported" through Avid.

Did you capture? In which case, it wouldn't be a re-import, and the Avid
should know where it put the files and what they are called. Anyway, I
suspect you are using a term that means one thing, but doing something else.

But, perhaps these tools will help you

 they are free.
