Capturing Clips

On this menu the following menu options are provided:

Load EDL… With the menu option Load EDL… you can im-

port an edit decision list (EDL, types GVG 6.0,

CMX 340, CMX 3400, and CMX 3600) and

translate it into a DVS capture list. The selection

of this menu option opens the standard dialog

window for a file selection. To import an EDL

choose in this window the desired EDL file. If a

storage location is set in the field Path of the se-

lection area, this will be taken as the storage lo-

cation for a later batch capturing automatically.

During record the clips of the EDL will then be

stored in this path and directory. In case a direc-

tory path is not already set in the field Path, you

will be asked to select one. Once everything is

set and confirmed, the EDL will be imported and

translated to the capture list format of the

I/O Tool.

Prior to loading and importing an EDL

the input video format has to be set to

the correct video raster and frame rate

(see section “The Video Format” on

page 5-4). Otherwise the EDL may not

be translated to the capture list format

properly. A correct frame rate is neces-

sary to calculate the exact in- and out-

points of the timeline elements.

Save EDL… You can export a capture list available in the

I/O Tool to an EDL with the menu option Save

EDL…. The selection of this menu option opens

the standard dialog window to save a file. There

you have to specify the storage path and file

name to save the EDL. Once you confirm your

settings with the button SAVE, the capture list

will be saved in the EDL format (type GVG 6.0).
