Importing XML project files from Final Cut Pro
You can import entire projects, selected
clips, or selected sequences that you export from Final Cut Pro
as XML files. In Adobe Premiere Pro, bins and
clips have the same hierarchies and names that they have in the
Final Cut Pro source projects. Also, Adobe Premiere Pro
retains the sequence markers, sequence settings, track layout, locked
tracks, and sequence timecode start points of Final Cut Pro
source projects. Adobe Premiere Pro imports text
from the Final Cut Pro Text generators into Adobe Premiere Pro
titles. Note: You can not import native Final Cut Pro
project files, only XML files exported from Final Cut Pro.
Also, you can not export Final Cut Pro XML files
from Adobe Premiere Pro.
