Recently I had to prep a music video from Premiere for a color session and ran into the same issue of an EDL with truncated tape names or missing tape names altogether. My solve was to send an XML of the sequence to Resolve; which linked up wonderfully, save for a couple clips that came from nested sequences. I then exported an EDL from Resolve that showed all the proper tape names without truncation. I find I am using Resolve more and more for translation issues like this.

I am not sure why Premiere's AAF doesn't work - you'd think given the lineage that it would, but sadly there's a pretty consistent rate of failure on these.Premiere AAF exports for audio is broken. Lots of links to files that come in to the DAW with wrong parts of the audio clips.You need to right-click sequence and choose Open In Adobe Audition. Once there, you can export an OMF that works.On Fri, Dec 11, 2015 at 2:13 AM, John Moore bigfish@pacbell.net [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:I posted about some of the hiccups I was having with tape name truncation and down right wrong tape names from a Premier project I was taking into avid with an edl. Here's what I found when I finally got the final locked sequence.For whatever reason Premier seems to take a CMX approach to tape names and only take 8 characters of a file based Arri Alexa camera media. For example a camera file named A001C001_150711_R1T2.mov would come into Premier with a clip name of A001C001_150711_R1T2.mov but a tape name of A001R1T2. Now given this is a file I'm not sure where the Tape name came from to begin with. No one that I've talked with said the manually added tape names so I don't really know how they got there. I can only assume that somehow Premier derives a tape name from the file name but that just a guess. This tape name truncation causes issues because file A001C001_150711_R1T2.mov and file A001C00_150711_R1T2.mov end up with the same tape name A001R1T2.mov. I found I could copy and paste the clip name into the tape name column and then the first 8 characters A001C001 became the tape name when I made an EDL that worked but given I had prebaked Lut'd media in Resolve those tape names were A001C001_150711_R1T2I found that if I removed the .mov in the Premiere tape names and check a preference box to allow up to 32 characters for tape name when exporting an EDL then using EDL manager file 32 template the entire proper tape name that matched the Resolve file name based lut'd media relinked without any modifying of the source on the edl imported sequence into Avid.I still haven't found why of the 3 sequences all using the same media the long extended version opens perfectly and relinks but the two shorter version for TV broadcast have to be updated when open. Weird but not a deal breaker. Then the shortest sequence has some edits events 75 thru 150 that I have to remove or it gives a pmm insufficient media kinda prompt and won't open at all. Removing events 75 thru 150 using Text Edit and the sequence will open with a gap. I had to print the EDL and manually edit back in those events. I have no idea why one of 3 sequences would behave that way but it did when I first tested the workflow and it's doing the same thing on the final sequences.I can't seem to export an omf/aaf from my system but the offline editor seems to be able to do that on his station so I don't know what's up with that. I didn't see aaf as a choice in export media so i choose omf but as soon as I click it beach ball and crash two time in a row. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing but I did link to the audio media and it plays in the premier project. I suppose the old divide and conquer approach works in Premier too but if the offline editor gets aaf exported than I can stick with picture. Oh the joys of this brave new world.John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@pacbell.net
