In cases where you may want to recapture or reassemble clips from EDLs more than once, it is a good idea to save the tape list (which stores the 2:3 pulldown configuration for each tape) so you can load it later. You can also use an R23 file to keep track of the key frames for all start frames of all the tapes referenced in an EDL. R23 files are accessible via the Import and Export EDL menus.

To save a tape list:

1. In the Import EDL menu, click Save.
2. In the Save EDL menu, select Tape List from the Save Option box.

   
   

3. Use the file browser to set the destination for the saved file.

   By default the tape list is saved in your project's ~/edl directory.

4. In the Name field, enter a name for the tape list.

   By default the tape list is saved with the .dtl extension.

5. Click Save.

To load a tape list:

1. In the Import EDL menu, click Load.
2. In the Load EDL menu, select DTL (Discreet Tape List) from the File Extension box.

   
   

3. Use the file browser to locate and select the tape list.
4. Click Load.
