# Exporting Shots to an EDL

You can export your cut file as a CMX3600 EDL. The exported EDL is saved with the name of the currently loaded cut, plus a *.edl file extension, and is placed in the scene's Library directory.

When exporting a multi-layer timeline and Solo mode is disabled, the layers are flattened and only the shots that are visible in the Storyboard are exported. When exporting a multi-layer timeline with Solo mode enabled, only the shots in the soloed layer are exported.

To export a timeline as an EDL:

1. Click Editing, and then click Browse to display the Browse menu.
2. If it is not already loaded, load the cut you want to export. See Managing Cuts.
3. Click Export to EDL.

   A CMX3600 EDL is created from the shots in the current timeline and placed in the scene's Library directory.
