• The text file created along with the EDL file uses the EDL’s filename with a .txt extension.

The file contains information regarding the sequence used and all the settings of the
Export Audio EDL dialog, including the number of tracks and their mapping. It also lists
any errors that occurred during the export.

Settings in the Export Audio EDL Dialog

Cinema Tools uses information from the sequence to fill in several fields in the top part
of the Export Audio EDL dialog.

File: The name of the Cinema Tools program file just opened. This is used only when

exporting an audio EDL directly from Cinema Tools. See

Using the Export Audio EDL

Feature from Cinema Tools

for more information.

Audio Tracks: The number of audio tracks used in the edit.

Project name: The name of the Final Cut Pro sequence on which the file is based.

Project timebase: The frame rate of the sequence in the Timeline.

Start time: The sequence start time as assigned in the Final Cut Pro Audio/Video Settings

window.

EDL Title: The name of the EDL. By default, it is the same as the project name from the

sequence.

EDL start time and timecode format: The start time for the EDL and the timecode format

to be used. By default, the start time is the same as the start time from the sequence.
This should not be changed unless your audio post-production facility has a specific
requirement.
