Copying an EDL, ALE, or Cutlist File into Lustre
 
 
 

Before you can assemble an EDL, ALE, or Cutlist file, you have to copy the file into the current scene's sacc_data directory.

NoteThe file must have a *.edl, *.ale, or *.ctl file extension or it will not appear in the EDL list.

To copy an EDL, ALE, or Cutlist file into Lustre:

  1. If using the Windows version of Lustre, use Windows Explorer to copy the EDL into the current scene's sacc_data folder. If using the Linux version of Lustre, do the following:
    • Open a shell and navigate to the directory where the EDL was copied or downloaded. For instance, /usr/tmp.
    • Copy the EDL to the sacc_data directory of the current scene. Type:

      cp <filename> /usr/autodesk/lustre_2010/projects/<project name>/sacc_data

  2. Click Editing, and then click Assemble.

    The Assemble menu appears.
