Automatic Duck, Inc., a software company providing workflow solutions to digital media artists, today announced the release of Automatic Duck Pro Import FCP 1.0, a plug-in for the recently released Final Cut Pro (FCP) 4.1 that allows editors to import Avid Open Media Format (OMF) files into FCP.
Automatic Duck Pro Import FCP 1.0 is the industry's first and only solution that provides a simple, fast, and robust alternative to the complex, hit-or-miss process of translating Avid timelines to FCP using edit decision list (EDL) files
. Because this long-awaited plug-in makes use of Avid's OMF file format, it is capable of preserving all layers and many Avid effects throughout translation to FCP 4.1. The new plug-in from Automatic Duck is also the first major product to take advantage of Apple's XML interchange technology. Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) support will be included in a near-term update.
The new Automatic Duck Pro Import FCP 1.0 plug-in is offered at $495 with bundle pricing available.
