User Manual

To import an EDL to a new track of an existing timeline:
1 In this procedure, you have the option of adding whatever media is required by the EDL
you’re about to import to the Media Pool first, or you can add the media after the EDL
has been imported. It’s your choice.
2 Open the Edit page, select a timeline in the Media Pool, then right-click it and choose
Timelines > Import > EDL to New Track. A window appears prompting you to “Choose
afile to import.”
3 Navigate to the EDL file you want to use, select it, and click Open.
4 A new video track is created above any previously existing tracks, and events from
the selected EDL are immediately loaded into it according to their record timecode
positions. If you loaded the media needed by the new clips at the beginning of this
procedure, that media should be conformed. Otherwise, you’ll need to track down the
media files needed by the new unconformed clips and add it to the Media Pool now.
