EDLs

Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) form the basis of the ReConform function.

The main idea of the ReConform function is to adapt changes in EDLs to a current audio mix. As a prerequisite, you must have at least an existing EDL and a new EDL. Alternatively, you can use an EDL that already contains changes, the Change EDL.

The ReConform dialog allows you to import old and new EDLs that you can use to generate a Change EDL. You can also import an existing Change EDL.

In the dialog, you can find these EDLs in the Old EDL, New EDL, and Change EDL lists. In these lists, you have the following options:

Add EDL: Allows you to add an existing EDL into the ReConform dialog.
Save EDL (Change EDL only): Saves a generated Change EDL.
Delete EDL: Deletes all entries in the corresponding list.

Each EDL consists of the following data:

State

State of the entry. Green indicates that the entry is valid. Red indicates that the entry is invalid. If you move the mouse pointer over the symbol in the column, a tooltip provides an error description.

ID

ID of the entry.

Roll

Roll name of the entry.

Clip Name

Clip name of the entry.

EDL File

The name of the EDL file from which this entry was read.

TR

Transition type of the entry.

C - Cut
D - Dissolve
W - Wipe

SRC IN

Start timecode of the entry in the original video file or clip.

SRC OUT

End timecode of the entry in the original video file or clip.

DST IN

Start timecode of the entry in the project.

DST OUT

End timecode of the entry in the project.

In addition to the columns, all EDLs inform you about the number of entries and how many of them are selected or invalid.
