Outputting EDLs
You can output an EDL as a clip in the clip library
or to a VTR. This is an alternate method of archiving a project
that, along with an EDL, provides a backup mechanism for restoring
both project metadata and media.
When you output a clip, the original start and
end timecodes are added to the Comment field of the generated EDL
along with the tape ID. This is useful if you want to trace the
material referenced in the generated EDL to its location on the
original source tape.
To
output an EDL to a VTR or a clip library:
- In
the clip library, select the clips that you want to output.
- Click
Export EDL.
The Export EDL menu appears.
- In
the Clip list, select the clip that you want to export.
- In
the Track table, select video and audio tracks to include in the EDL.
- Specify
any EDL Save options. See
EDL Save Options Group.
- In
the Output Options group, from the Output Type box, select either
Output All Material or Output Generated.
- Specify
any Output options. See
Output Options Group.
- Click
Generate.
The EDL is generated and the Save Generated
EDL, Output EDL Material, and Save Output to Library buttons become active.
- Do
one of the following:
- Click
the Output EDL Material button to output the EDL material to a VTR.
The EDL Output module appears, which is comprised of the same controls
as the Clip Output module.
- Click
the Save Output to Library button to output the EDL material as
a clip in the clip library. The EDL is output to the same library
reel from which you originally accessed the Export EDL menu.
