Custom EDL Export Window Reference

Specify a file name and path for the saved EDL in the file browser that appears. The filename cannot contain any of the following characters: ` # ~ @ $ % ^ & * ( ) [ ] { } < > \ | / ! ? , ; : ' "

EDL Event Combination box

Indicates how events with the same source timecodes, record timecodes, and tape ID are combined when the EDL is generated.

Select:	To use:
Combine All Events	A single entry for all video and audio events.
Combine Audio Events	One entry for audio events and a separate entry for video events.
Never Combine Events	A separate entry for each video and audio event.

EDL Format box

Select the format of the generated EDL.

You can save EDLs in any of the following formats:

• CMX 340
• CMX 3600
• CMX OMNI
• GVG 4
• GVG 4 Plus (GVG v4.1 or higher)
• SONY 900
• SONY 910
• SONY 5000

Segment Comments button

Enable to allow comments added to the timeline to be included in the generated EDL.

Clip Name Comments button

Enable to allow clip name comments to be included in the generated EDL.

2:3 Insertion Mode button

Enable to convert the frame rate of a 24p clip from 23.97 fps to 29.97 fps, and maintain 2:3 pulldown information for all in and out points (including cuts, wipes, dissolves, and timewarps). 2:3 pulldown data is important when master tapes are sent out for hardware-based tape-to-tape colour correction.

Frame Code Mode box

Select the drop frame mode for the output material: DF (drop frame) or NDF (non-drop frame).

The EDL file will include explicit notification of hybrid splices as punctuation marks in the record in and out data.

A:	Indicates a:
period (.)	Regular splice record-in point for 29.97 fps non-drop frame timecode tapes.
comma (,)	Regular splice record-in point for 29.97 fps drop frame timecode tapes.
colon (:)	Hybrid splice record-in point for 29.97 fps non-drop frame timecode tapes.
semi-colon (;)	Hybrid splice record-in point for 29.97 fps drop frame timecode tapes.

This button is enabled by default when a 24p template is selected at project creation.

Use Delayed Dissolves button

Enable to include delayed dissolves in the generated EDL.

Default Tape field

Enter a tape name if you want to override the default tape ID when saving an EDL.

Source clips are assigned tape IDs when loaded using the Clip VTR Input or through the Conform tab. For example, an edit that uses a clip created with the Colour Corrector does not have a tape ID. When the EDL is generated, the clip is given the tape ID in the Default Tape field.

Audio Patch Comments button

Enable to allow clip audio patching comments to be included in the generated EDL.

Use Tape Name Extension button

Enable to support long tape names (more than 8 characters) through the use of DLEDL extensions. This option and Use Long Tape Name are mutually exclusive.

This adds a list to the end of the EDL that shows the relationship between a abbreviated tape name (8 characters, maximum) used in the EDL and the actual tape name (52 characters, maximum).

Use Long Tape Name button

Enable to support long tape names (more than 8 characters) in-place, without truncation or DLEDL-style name extensions. This option and Use Tape Name Extension are mutually exclusive.
