Exporting Session
Information as Text
You can use the Export Session Info as Text com-
mand to create a text file that contains extensive in-
formation about your session.
This text file can contain a list of audio files, audio
clips, audio track EDL (Edit Decision List) infor-
mation, extended timestamp information, and in-
formation about crossfades.
Track EDLs are exported as tab-delimited text,
with tabs between each column heading, and tabs
between each event parameter. You can use this
data in a program for reading EDLs, or you can
format the EDL data into tables using a word pro-
cessor or spreadsheet application.
To export session information as text:
1 Choose File > Export > Session Info as Text.

List, and track EDLs.

whether to show subframes, and whether to in-
clude user timestamps. Also select an option for
crossfade handling.
4 If you choose to include track EDLs, select the
