8.3 Working with EDLs from the Timeline
As soon as an EDL is available in the timeline (see section “Building up
a Timeline” on page 8-9), you can use the Edit Tool as usual and work
with its clips on the timeline. Furthermore, if a conforming has been
performed already, you can evaluate and process its result directly in
the timeline.
With the edit mode of the control area activated (see section “Con-
trols” on page 5-11) the clips of an EDL are displayed as standard time-
line clips:

By stepping through the timeline for example or by playing it out, you
can immediately see where the EDL clips require adjustment (such as
multiple or not found clips, see section “Evaluation and Further Pro-
cessing of the Conforming” on page 8-18).
The following describes the possibilities that are available for EDLs in
the timeline. All can be a found on the context menu of a clip in the
timeline under the menu option Conforming (see e.g. section “The
Context Menu of Video Clips” on page 6-61):
By changing in-/outpoints of clips from an EDL in the timeline
(trimming) you change the destination in-/outpoints of the
EDL. To change source in-/outpoints you have to use the con-
forming mode (see section “The Conforming Mode in Gener-
al” on page 8-25).
