Grass Valley Aurora Ingest v.7.0.0 - Manual (Page 189)

Do not save the EDL in .ale or .edl format, as the internal “control track” to properly locate
broken timecodes could be lost and may result in standard VTR confusion when dealing with
timecode direction. Save the EDL as .vlg type only.
Importing an EDL
You can also import an Edit Decision List (EDL) to use as your segment (batch) list.
Supported EDL formats are .ale, .edl, .vlg, and .xml. Clip names in the imported file
cannot be longer than 32 characters.
1. Choose File | Import EDL .
2. In the Open window, navigate to the correct folder, select the EDL to import, and
click Open .
3. Enter the Tape ID and select where to record the clips and click OK .
The EDL appears in the segment (batch) list for the selected channel and is ready
to record:
4. Click Record to record your clips to the media server.
If you have a clip that failed to record for some reason, you can change its status
back to Ready by highlighting the clip, right-clicking and selecting
Mark Ready .
Importing an EDL will clear any existing segments in a VTR’s segment list.
Exporting an EDL
Instead of recording your clips to a media server, you can export them as an EDL file,
which can be used by other programs. By default, EDLs are saved in a .vlg format.
1. Highlight the file or group of files you want to export.
2. Choose File | Export EDL .
3. Navigate to the folder where you want to export the EDL.
4. Enter a name for the file and click Save .
The EDLs can also be opened using Aurora Edit’s batch (segment) capture feature.
