Exporting EDLs
From the Bin, you can export your sequence into an EDL file, in any of these
formats: AAF, OMF, or XML. You can select to save the EDL with the media
embedded or to consolidate the media and link to it. If you consolidate the
media, NewsEdit creates a .vmf directory containing the consolidated files.
For instructions on exporting an EDL for use with an audio post-production
application, such as Fairlight, Nuendo or Pro Tools, see “Working with Audio
OMF Files” on page 118.
To export an EDL:
1. Highlight the sequence or clip in the Bin you want to export.
2. Choose File | Export | EDL .
The Export EDL window appears:
3. Navigate to the folder where you want to export the EDL.
4. Select the Save as type: AAF Files , OMF Files , or XML Files .
NOTE: Exported XML files cannot be reimported into NewsEdit. To
reuse media from an exported EDL, export the file as an AAF or
audio OMF file.
5. Change any options (for AAF and OMF file types) by clicking the Options
button; see descriptions below.
6. Enter a name for the file and click Save .
