A simple edit should work but of course FCP has never been strong in it's edl support. Maybe look at Automatic Duck? Nice email btw ....

It was all that was loaded at the end of the day plus I was very curious to see if it would work at all. That's one thing Premiere is missing is a good, high-quality HD codec like ProRes or DNxHD. All things in good time I guess. Yea I think the ProRes media I was working with might have thrown a few kinks in there.

However i haven't repeated with ProRes yet - I used Dv and HDV QTs. At the International Film School Sydney where I teach we have both CS3 and FC2 and often Use ProRes in both, however i have noticed odd things about ProRes in premiere. Strange crashes, odd performance issues. Not major problems but odd quirks. I think it's a case of PP supporting ProRes as a QT codec but not officially supporting ProRes as a working space. Better success for cross-platform intermediate format work has come using DNxHD and of course much will be better again with Cineform - who look to have full FCP support very close to launch. Im really excited by these updates - I sincerely want my Utopia of moving any project to any application at any time I want. Not there yet, may never be, but getting closer. cheers Mike Good Post Scott. i did my own tests last night and blogged about it.

I did a very similar test. I didn't use any third party filters or effects, but my test had issues with speed changed clips. I guess if I were going to be sending to AE in this way, that would be where time remapping would be done anyway. I'm happy with it. It does work pretty well. I did a very similar test.
