fcp2ale reads batch lists from FCP 2, FCP 3 and FCP 4.
To convert an FCP batch list to an ALE shot log follow these steps:
-
Export the batch list from FCP. Remember to include at least the required
fields. You can either export a single bin or all the bins in a project.
Refer to your FCP manual for further instructions.
-
In Sebsky Tools, choose fcp2ale, either by selecting menu item fcp2ale
in the Tools menu, or by clicking the fcp2ale icon in the toolbar.
-
Select the FCP batch list. In the option below the file browser, you can
choose to convert only Clips, Clips & Subclips or subclips only, to
the new ALE shot log.
-
Click Convert. Sebsky Tools will present a save panel for each bin in the
FCP batch list and save the new ALE shot logs.
