EDL not conforming

Jun 26, 2012 4:46 AM

I created an EDL in Premier and opened it in SG. After about 10 attempts I finally found the 5 or 6 places you have to change the frame rate - why not just get it from the EDL! Anyway, I go to the desktop and find my files, but SG will not add the reels from the destop automatically or manually. I double checked the help file and tried several times but they will not load. What am I missing?

    Hi BWScott,

     

    would you mind posting the EDL as well as a screenshot of the Reels you're trying to conform?

    As for places to change the fps reference, it's actually only one place you need to be going for: it's in the settings under playback / base fps.

    If you want to change the default for new timeline, change the base fps under settings / editing

     

    Cheers,

    Pat

    I was exagerating a little, but after I changed the playback setting and imported the EDL it changed it to 60 again. It took about 4 times importing to finally get the right. I still get a warning message that the frame rate is wrong - even though it is correct. I think the problem may be stemming from the fact that I am trying to conform from files and the reel names are missing. The file names are correct, but I don't think SG is looking at that.SG_EDL_Error01.jpg

    I guess this is a little tough to see, but the DPX sequences are there in the bin and SG doesn't load them. I also get an error "Key not supported in edit 6" when I try to import one of the edls from Premier. Here is the EDL with the error:

    I guess the EDL didn't help to find an answer to the problem?
