Standard EDL Spec

Note:

It is possible to trace multiple video layers (up to six) by creating an EDL of each vision layer

Projects longer than approx. 30 min. may need to be cut into sections to avoid hitting the 999 event barrier

EDL File Spec:

EDL Filename:	Must end with ".EDL"
Output Track:	Video Edits
Sort Mode:	A (Master In)
Show in Comments:	Show Clip Names
Max Events:	999

EdiTrace can read EDLs with the following Type / Standard:

24 FPS FILM
25 FPS PAL FILM(1) ***
25 FPS PAL VIDEO
29.97 / 30 FPS NDF NTSC VIDEO
29.97 FPS DF NTSC VIDEO

*** Note:

Used when film's telecine speed is 25 FPS. EDL frames must match film frames one for one, hence the EDL will run 4% fast. EdiTrace will create a true 24 FPS CHANGE EDL for EDLs loaded with this type. Where possible Cut Lists should be used.

When creating EDL files of separate video tracks, each EDL file must start at exactly the same point. Hence if there is no media at the sequence start point for a particular EDL, the EDL must contain a "Black" event starting at the sequence start point.
