(a) Edits (b) EDL events (c) EDL entries
Every event has a different event number. Some events, such as dissolves and wipes, consist of two edits.
The two edits in a dissolve (outgoing and incoming shots) have the same event number.
Editing a Tape Name
You can change a single event's tape name, or the tape name for all events on the same tape. This is useful
if the events you want to capture are on a different tape than that listed in the EDL.
Tape names can be up to 56 characters long. The EDL Editor displays only the first eight characters, but the
clips maintain the original tape name.
To edit a tape name:
1 In the Import EDL menu, do one of the following:
■ To change the tape name for all events on the same tape, enable Affect Tape.
■ To change only the selected tape name, disable Affect Tape.
2 Click the Tape entry in the event you want to edit and enter the new name:
■ If the Affect Tape option is enabled, the tape name for all events on the same tape changes
automatically.
■ If the Affect Tape option is disabled, only the tape name for the selected event changes.
■ If the Affect Selection option is enabled, only the tape names for selected events change.
Audio Patching
If you want to capture audio from a different track than that specified in the EDL, you can change the audio
patching for a single event, selected events, or all events on the same tape. For example, if an edit specifies
the audio tracks as 1 and 2, but you want to capture the audio from tracks 3 and 4, use the Audio Patching
menu to reroute the audio during auto-capture.
To change audio patching:
1 In the EDL work area, select the events that you want to modify.
2 Click an Audio Patch field.
