Edit Decision List (EDL) A text file that sequentially lists all of the edits and individual
clips used in a sequence. EDLs are used to move a project from one editing application
to another, or to coordinate the assembly of a program in a tape-based online editing
facility.
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) The language used by the
Cinema Tools style sheets. XSLT-based style sheets are commonly used to extract

style sheet, resulting in exactly the output items and layout the style sheet specifies. See
