View Full Version : FCP Multicam EDL confuses DaVinci, only uses single angle

Okay, I'm sure I had this working before but now can't figure it out.

1. Edit multicam in FCP using Pro Res transcodes. File names match and all timecodes jamsynced (identical to each other and R3D)
2. Save EDL (XML doesn't work with multicam well)
3. In DaVinci, populate media pool with R3Ds
4. Load EDL

The conform EDL window shows the correct reel names, but the actual conform/color timelines only use the first clip in the media pool for every cut. The C is in every clip, showing me there is a conflict, but I can't seem to get it to use the correct clips.

I get that it is really looking for matching timecodes and throwing up the first thing it sees, but isn't there a way to get it to respect the reel name as well?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE - same EDL works perfectly when brought into RCX.

Cheers,

Jim Hare

Hi, check for the - Extract reel names from EDL comments - check box in project settings?

Hey Peter, Yep, that was it! Thanks so much, always the simple little things you forget. :mad2:

Can't tell you how much I'm loving DaVinci! :thumbup:
