EDL-X

Manage video editing information from Final Cut Pro X.

EDL-XOverview

EDL-X creates Edit Decision Lists - EDLs - from Final Cut Pro X XML files. The EDLs conform to the CMX 3600 standard and can be used to bring your cut into post production systems like DaVinci, Smoke, etc.

EDL-X groups all video and audio clips into as few tracks as possible. Each video track gets its own EDL, with synch audio in the same EDL.

EDL X features flexible Source Reel Name handling:

  • Source names can be read directly from the QuickTime files used in the project.
  • Alternatively, media file names, or full file paths can be used.
  • Source names can be made to conform to strict CMX standards (three numbers), or 8, 16, 32 or unlimited alpha-numerical characters.
  • Each EDL includes a source table, allowing for easy tracking of any name conversions.
  • All source names are user-editable, on a per-source basis.

EDL-X groups all video and audio clips into as few tracks as possible. Each video track gets its own EDL, with synch audio in the same EDL.

EDL-X can save the Final Cut Pro XML file as well as the generated EDLs in one convenient document for future reference.

Limitations:

  • Currently Final Cut Pro X does not include source reel names in the exported XML. EDL-X can make up for that by reading the source reel names out of the media files directly, provided they are accessible to the app. Also, source reel names can be edited inside EDL-X. When source reel names will be included in XMLs exported from a future version of Final Cut Pro X an update to EDL-X (free on the Appstore) will process that information.
  • Variable speed clips, i.e. those that have been 'retimed' in Final Cut Pro X, are only supported when there are no further clips nested inside them.

NEW

  • The app now re-filters on roles etc, even if an EDL has already been made.
  • Non-standard frame rates are now accepted, as well as certain retimes around multiclips.
  • Some UI problems in the preferences user interface have been addressed.
  • Also, a problem with non-standard frame rates, as well as vari-speed multicams has been fixed.
