[MacDV] Re: FCP EDL to AVID

[Colt Freeman]

Right, that's exactly what I did, my problem is re-linking the video files,
I could care less about the audio there is no vocals it's just music files.

I didn't copy the video files, I re-imported them through Avid, All I care
about is the video cuts, and it seems that everything worked except for the
filenames. I saved them the same on both systems but the way that Avid logs
the filenames is apparently different. I also tried renaming the files
manually and that didn't work either.
Thanks,
-Colt
