How to export your project to Adobe Premiere Pro

Download EDLs with import notes and rebuild the edit in Premiere Pro.

Novacut exports CMX3600 EDLs for Premiere Pro. No folder path is needed.

In Novacut

  1. Open the Export tab and scroll to Editor project files.
  2. Click Adobe Premiere Pro (.edl).
  3. A ZIP downloads. Extract it. It contains:
    • the main .edl with the picture: cuts, dissolves and speed changes
    • one audio .edl per audio lane, plus the music files
    • an .srt when captions are on
    • AUDIO-MIX.txt with volume and fade settings
    • IMPORT.txt with step-by-step notes, including where to place any images such as logos, which EDL can't carry

In Premiere Pro

  1. Choose File › Import… and import the main .edl. Premiere creates a sequence.
  2. Import each audio .edl onto its own audio track.
  3. Right-click offline clips, choose Link Media…, and point to the folder with your original files. Once one file links, the rest usually follow.
  4. Import the .srt for captions, and follow IMPORT.txt for images and audio levels.
