Thanks for your question.

Honestly, the easiest way is to use the Automatic Duck plugin Pro Export FCP 4.0 http://www.automaticduck.com/products/pefcp/
I don’t really know of another way to transfer the actual project file.

If all you want to do is move captured footage from FCP to Avid, then I’m pretty sure that Sebsky tools can help do that. I’m not sure of the actual procedure as I’ve never done it that way round before.

I guess the biggest question that pops into my mind is, why introduce a third platform? If you’re already using FCP and Vegas, I’d stick with one of them. Personally my preference would be FCP but I’m biased. Introducing a third platform will just introduce more headaches.

I hope this helps.

Me and a collegue are working on the ‘making of’ of a feature film in the Netherlands, and both of us have been shooting and capturing, my collegue in Vegas/windows and me in FCP. Now we want to blend it all together for a final version for on the DVD, and we are considering using FCP or Avid (on an apple). Thus my question is if you know it is possible to let Avid read the final cut pro project file, so exactly the other way around as you described in your article, keeping the timecodes.

Thanks a lot,

David.
