EDL Publishing Remarks
■ Animated timewarps are converted into constant timewarps when written to an EDL.
The Source In and Source Out written to the outgoing EDL match the span of the media used in the
original animated timewarp. The constant timewarp speed in the outgoing EDL is calculated so that the
media fits the segment's duration.
■ When you export a sequence as an EDL, tape names with illegal characters are written to the EDL using
the Tape Name Extension.
The Tape Name Extension stores both the original name and a sanitized version, allowing third party
applications to import and correctly conform the EDL, displaying the sanitized name. And when
re-importing in an Autodesk application, the EDL displays the original tape names.
How the tape name is sanitized:
■ Spaces are replaced with underscores; TAPE 1 becomes TAPE_1
■ Illegal Unix characters are replaced with underscores; TAPE$1 becomes TAPE_1
■ Lowercase characters are replaced with uppercase characters; tape1 becomes TAPE1
To publish an EDL with long tape names without relying on DLEDL extensions:
1 Follow the steps to publish a customized EDL.
2 Set the Save as menu to CMX 3600.
3 Enable Use Long Tape Name.
NOTE Tape names are still sanitized according to the rules listed above.
