Re: FCP, EDLs, 24f and AVID = one big headache

Thanks for the tip Michael. So can I confirm this is what you recommend for the process:

Export 24f EDL from FCP.
Import 24f EDL into Avid.
Export new Avid sequence as 30i (do you mean 30p/60i NTSC?)
Open 60i EDL in Avid.
Batch capture tapes using new 60i sequence.

My questions would be: does this affect our ability to eventually output at 24p without losing generational quality? Also, we're in PAL land - am I right in thinking we're better to convert to 50i, or does that make the pulldown all screwy?

Cheers again
