Re: [Avid-L2] Avid to Premiere

Thanks all. Mostly, I just want the cut points. I think that the movie itself changed between the version that I used for the trailer and the final on-line theatrical version, so while the edits in my sequence will be perfect (timing) the link to the 2K movie probably won't be perfect anyways... especially later in the movie when more little timing changes could have occurred. I also have to re-do all of the After Effects graphics from HD to 2K

All I really want is the edit points in the single video track.

Easy as pie to import an Avid AAF into PremierePro. The scaling info can get messed up, but the media and the edits come in just fine.

Is there a way to send AAF or something from Avid to Premiere Pro for a basic cuts only sequence? Yes. I am being lazy. I have not Googled. I have not looked anywhere else. I am coming straight to the L.

I cut a trailer from a ProRez version of the movie. Now they want me to deliver a 2K trailer from a new 2K render of the movie file, so I can't export video from Avid, I'm thinking I have to import the 2K element into Premiere or After Effects and export from there to deliver true 2K.

There are about 80 edits so if I have to eyematch, it won't kill me, but I'd prefer some easier method. The audio - which is complex - doesn't need to go to Premiere or AE at all, since that is already at full resolution in Avid and I can export AAF for the sound mixers.
