Export Considerations and Creating Audio EDLs
 File: This is only used when exporting an audio EDL directly from Cinema Tools, and
contains the name of the Cinema Tools program file just opened. See “
EDL Export Feature From Within Cinema Tools
” on page 165 for more information.
 Audio Tracks: The number of audio tracks used in the edit
 Project name: The name of the Final Cut Pro sequence the file is based on
 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 type: The starting time for the EDL and the type of timecode
to be used. By default, it is the same as the start time from the sequence. This should not
be changed unless your audio postproduction facility has a specific requirement.
The rest of the dialog contains fields and controls used to configure the audio EDL:
 Audio Mapping: Use to assign each of the eight possible sequence audio tracks to
the four audio EDL tracks (the maximum supported by audio EDLs). See “
,” next, for details on configuring these settings.
 Include clip comments: When checked, the audio EDL includes the name of the clip
file (if known) as a comment for each event in the list.
 Include scene and take comments: When checked, the audio EDL includes the scene
and take numbers as comments for each event in the list.
 Open in text editor: When checked, the exported audio EDL opens in the text editor
specified in the “Open in text editor” pop-up menu. Since the audio EDL is actually a
text file, the TextEdit application is typically used.
