Creating an EDL
 
 
 

You can create an EDL in the Import EDL module. This is useful when you have an EDL printed on paper (but no electronic file) and you need to capture the material. With the EDL module, you can manually recreate the EDL with all the information needed so that you can automatically recapture.

To create an EDL:

  1. In the Import EDL menu, select <new> from the EDL box.

    A blank EDL is created.

  2. Use the EDL Editing tools to insert, cut, copy, and paste events, comments, titles, and transitions into the new EDL. See About EDL Editing Commands.
  3. Edit the EDL events as needed. See Editing an EDL.
  4. Click Save to save the new EDL. See Saving EDLs and Tape Lists.
