Importing List Files
Import a list into the library in the same way as image media.
In the Library module, press the
..Im port
button, browse to the list file
location, select and import.
In the case of a list file, you are creating a Composition, not
importing shots. Initially, the list created composition will have no
media linked to it. To link media to the composition created, see the
next section List Capture.
A list file is a formatted text file that defines the basic layout of a composition
and relates the source media "events" (defining shots) to the record timeline
locations. The source media is defined by a tapename (or reel) and source
timecode.
The supported list file formats are:
EDL - CMX 3600 format
AAF
Cut Lists (.ctl, .cut)
For Cut Lists, the supported formats are as per the example files in
folder :
C:\Phoenix\2014_1\example_files\
Once the list itself is imported, we will have a new composition. We will then
have to capture any required media and conform. See List Capture.s
Conforming will "attach" media to the empty composition shots.
