For what it’s worth, my sequences are pretty basic. Because I know I can tweak the edit if I need to in Pr- but all my transitions and FX are done in AE. I’m also on Mac.

I’m playing around right now with a few different MC5/Adobe workflows. Haven’t had a chance to test in full yet but hopefully in the next few weeks.

Thanks for for your posts on the DLSR workflow. Good to know someone’s going into depth on it.

The only reason I currently use EDLs instead of AAFs is that I have had trouble getting AAFs to import into Premiere. (Incidently EDLs with trailing spaces don’t work too well either) I am working on improving that aspect of the workflow with AAFs, but I haven’t quite nailed all of the details yet. Its good to know that it is working for someone. I still haven’t figured out why my complex sequences fail to import. And yes I am looking forward to MC5 with AMA support for both DSLR clips and Cineform MOVs.

Hey Mike,

First of all I’m sorry we didn’t get to meet at the Cineform booth this year, both David and Salah indicate you’re a great guy to meet and talk to.

Secondly, my question. I’ve been using this Avid/Pr/AE offline/online process for the last couple of docs I’ve worked on. I do everything in Cineform which is also why I use this process. But I”m curious as to why you export an EDL vs. an AAF Link to Audio and Video option? (Then re-link to my Cineform masters- Process I outlined on my blog: http://blog.jayfriesen.com/2010/01/avid-to-premiere/)

It appears we get the same results, but I’m curious why you do the EDL vs. the AAF…

Incidentally, you’ll like the new MC5 No more offline/online. You’ll be able to use your CF files all day long- including any First Light color data.
