I thought I’d put a quick little video up on the blog showing how you can roundtrip back and forth between both apps via XML. If you have an FCP 7 project and want to use Premiere or After Effects – you can do so in seconds. If you then want to send that project back to FCP 7 and grade it in Color for example – again, you can do so with a few keystrokes via XML. I didn’t know this until a few months ago, and I also wasn’t aware of how similar both editors are to one another. Doing a basic with either tool is extremely similar in fact – Premiere even comes with both FCP and AVID keystroke sets to make those going back and forth more “at home.” The video below serves as a quick intro to Premiere as well.
