This window allows you to configure the creation of the EDL in the
timeline. It provides the following settings items:
Creating an EDL twice in the timeline will duplicate it (in the bin
and timeline). However, if the first created EDL exists only par-
tially in the timeline, a dialog window appears beforehand ask-
ing you whether you want to duplicate the EDL or (re-)create
the missing clips. By default newly added clips/EDLs will be
added for video in the next higher video track (> no. 1), and
for audio in the lowest audio tracks (> no. 16). Anyhow, this
can be adjusted freely with the settings items described below.
Item Description
Name This field shows you the name of the EDL as it
is available in the bin.
Video Determines in which video track to add the vid-
eo stream of the EDL. With only one video
stream available the video track can be selected
freely with the entry field to the right.
Audio Determines in which audio track to add the au-
dio of the EDL. To the left the possible audio
streams of an EDL are detailed (A<x>). These
can be assigned to audio tracks of the Edit Tool
with the entry fields to the right.
An activated + button between two audio
streams configures them to stereo. Then, when
these streams are detailed for an audio clip in
the EDL, a stereo clip will be created in the as-
signed audio track. Only neighboring streams
can be configured to stereo. A deactivated
+ button will create mono clips.
The configured stereo and/or mono streams
have to be assigned to different audio tracks of
the timeline. Hence, with the entry fields to the
right only unassigned tracks can be selected.
What is created in the timeline must be
seen in relation to the EDL: An audio
stream that is not specified in the EDL
will not be created in the timeline.
