Final Cut Pro 3: Imported EDLs May Need .edl Filename Extension Added

Cinema Tools exports EDL files without a ".edl" filename extension. However, Final Cut Pro only recognizes EDLs with a ".edl" filename extension. You may need to manually add it.
Symptom

The EDL you are trying to import in Final Cut Pro appears dimmed in the navigation dialog and cannot be imported.

Solution

Add the ".edl" filename extension to the file before importing it into Final Cut Pro.
