Follow these steps to import your Reduct reels to Final Cut Pro:
1: Export from Reduct
From the reel export menu, select Final Cut Pro X (xml 1.8 & srt)
2: Import into FCP
Open the .fcpxml
file that you just downloaded. If you have Final Cut Pro installed, the file will automatically open within FCP.
Note: If you get a warning about edit frame boundaries, just hit OK.
You can now re-link to the original file in FCP. Under File
, find Relink Files >
and select Original Media...
In the popup window that appears, find the source file on your hard drive, and click "Relink Files":
3: Edit!
You now have a Final Cut timeline where your reel (+ captions!!) have been imported, so you can fine-tune your reels using the tools Final Cut provides you.
Limitations
Note that the XML export does not include any title slides that might be in your reel.
