Re: [Avid-L2] FCP to Symphony Conform

Yes and no, different experiences. Automatic Duck Pro Export FCP is a
friend. The easiest way from FCP to Symphony is via AAF from Automatic Duck
using AMA relink for a sequence. It works, but you have to give yourself
some time to figure out the inconsistencies between FCP and Symphony.
First, any audio-only files should be imported, not AMA linked. This will
make things easier. Audio clips will generally relink, but sometimes they
won't. I have found that when audio clips don't relink, it is usually
because timecode doesn't match. A lot of FCP imported audio clips will show
up starting at 00:00:00:00, and the same audio clip in Symphony will show
up at 01:00:00:00. Or drop/non-drop is different. Luckily, once it's in
Symphony, you can compare your imported clip with what the sequence is
looking for (sequence/bin/show reference clips), and match them up and then
they'll relink. Video clips care about timecode, name, and also tape name.
Match all three and you'll get things relinked.

Watch the tutorial video from Wes's site (http://youtu.be/dsEK8e9qgJE) - it
works like that but not usually as seamless. If you can handle adding tape
names and modifying timecodes, you can get things relinked. Symphony's
relinking is pretty great, even before the new update which added more
relinking options.
