Using Final Cut Pro With Aurora Edit
Aurora Edit allows you to work with Apple’s Final Cut Pro video editing application.
Files created in Aurora Edit and in a shared environment include a .mov file as one of its
components, which makes it compatible with the Final Cut Pro format. You can also
export a sequence as an XML EDL that can be imported into Final Cut Pro for additional
editing.
These instructions apply to MacOS 10.4 or 10.5 used with:
• Final Cut Studio version 6.0.4 and a K2 standalone media client
• K2 SAN (version 3.2.74 or later) configured to offer the NAS service, with an Aurora
Edit 6.5 System (optional) and with DSM and .MOV generator.
Use these instructions to install and use the Final Cut Pro plug-in in your newsroom.
