We have to do this several times a month. There's a simpler way of moving
to AE and then to AVID - although it took us a long time to figure it out
We tried it with AMA relink and it virtually never worked -- AMA is simply
unreliable in AVID - this is one of the great strengths of FCP - you can put
your media anywhere and import as is and FCP remembers where it is without
transcoding to a proprietary codec (for the most part - you still have to
rewrap DVCPRO HD and XDCAM in a QuickTime Container - but there are programs
that let you avoid that
But to answer your question -
Here's how - go to this link below to see export settings out of FCP - your
only variable is the quality setting for your Avid Media - that's up to you.

THEN
Take all the exported clips and move them to a standard AvidMedia folder
putting them inside the subfolder (folder 1, 2...whatever you want)
THEN Open AVID - make sure you are directed to the hard drive where your
newly transcoded media lives and create a new project
THEN - import the exported AAF file into a bin.
THEN double click the FCP exported sequence inside that bin -- it will
create a new duplicate sequence
OPEN THAT
Your files should all relink and you are back to editing
A lot of effects and filters won't come through but you will be 90 percent
of the way there
Happy Editing (a FCP 7 Refugee who is no longer the rabid Apple Fan he was
since FCP X came out)
