82 Chapter 4 Importing and Managing Projects and Media
5 When you’ve finished choosing all the necessary settings, click Import.
A new project is created, and the EDL is converted into a sequence of shots in the
Timeline. These shots should match the Timelines of the original project.
Exporting EDLs
You can export EDLs out of Color, which can be a good way of moving projects back to
other editorial applications. When exporting an EDL, it’s up to the application with
which you’ll be importing the EDL to successfully relink to the media that’s rendered
out of Color.
Note: To help facilitate media relinking, the media path is written to the comment
column in the exported EDL, although not all editing applications support this
convention.
To export an EDL:
1 Chose File > Export > EDL.
2 When the Export EDL dialog appears, click Browse.
3 Enter a name for the EDL you’re exporting in the File field of the Export EDL File dialog,
choose a location for the file, and click Save.
4 If you didn’t change any of the shot names when you exported the final rendered
media for this project, turn on “Use original media name.”
5 Click OK.
A new EDL file is created, and the clips within are linked to the media directory you
specified.

using the following criteria:
 Starting timecode
 Filename
If neither of these criteria matches, you’re given the following warning:
