Figure 8-20: The tab ’EDL Reels’
By selecting one or more reels in this view on the EDL, the clips belong-
ing to this reel will be selected in the timeline area and on the tab EDL
Clips as well. This works also the other way around, meaning when all
clips of a reel are selected in the timeline and/or on the tab EDL Clips,
the respective reel will be selected in this view as well.
To select more than one element in this EDL view you can use the usual
methods provided by the DVS software (see section “Keyboard Short-
cuts” on page A-7) or the functionality of the S
ELECT… button (see
section “Select…” on page 8-43). Additionally, to select several adjoin-
ing elements you can select one with the mouse, keep the mouse but-
ton pressed and then move the mouse to the point where the selection
should end. All adjoining elements will be selected.
The following explains the columns that are available on the tab EDL
Reels:
When changing settings on this tab, the settings of all events
that belong to the respective reel will be changed (if their status
is ’Offline’). The changes can be seen in the respective columns
of the events on the tab EDL Clips.
Column Description
Reel name Details the name of the reel as it was deter-
mined during the import of the EDL. It can be
altered freely and its counterpart in the bin will
be named accordingly. Please note that in some
EDL standards the reel name is restricted, for
example, to a maximum number of characters.
Source type Same as the ’Source type’ setting on the tab
EDL Clips (see section “The Tab ’EDL Clips’”
on page 8-31).
