CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
The EDL format does not support all
features that a capture list provides.
When saving a capture list as an EDL,
you will lose such information as clip
names and file formats. If applicable,
these will then be filled with informa-
tion that can be saved in an EDL. For
example, the clip names will be altered
to an increasing numbering. When
saving a capture list as an EDL and af-
terwards loading it again, you may
have to set these information via the
MODIFY button again (see section
“Further Settings” on page 5-51).
Update EDL… When clips were already captured via an EDL
but the used EDL is altered afterwards, for ex-
ample, at another workstation, you can use this
menu option to compare the used EDL with the
changed one. Then you will obtain a capture list
where only the relevant changes, i.e. the ones
that need additional capturing, are marked for a
recording. For this the already processed and
captured EDL has to be present in the capture
list table and the captured clips have to be avail-
able in the bin. Then click on the menu option
Update EDL… to open the dialog window for
the selection of a file and select the updated EDL
file for a comparison. Once you have confirmed
your selection with the button OPEN, the updat-
ed EDL will be compared with the already
present one and a new capture list will be creat-
ed where only the changes are marked for a
capturing.
Load Cutlist… With this menu option you can import a cut list
generated by another application into the
I/O Tool and translate it into the I/O Tool cap-
ture list format. The selection of this menu op-
tion performs in principle the same operation as
the menu option Load EDL… (see above).
However, after the selection of the cut list file
you have to state further conversion options for
the cut list:
