  EDL business

  Posted by Sascha Haber on January 17, 2011 at 8:02 am

  Hi guys,

  I am still somewhat puzzled by the whole EDL thing.
  Not only do most of the EDLs I write out with FCP not work, even the ones I create inside Resolve seem to have some sort of black magic attached.
  But maybe, I am just doing it wrong.
  So, here the steps again :

  

  1. Load one movie clip into scene detection and cut it up.
  2. Export EDL from scene into file , see below a screen dump

  

  3. Split the file, load into Conform = no problemo.
  But, if I try to restart the process and use the edl to split or even just to preconform, I end up with only one clip in the media pool, or a non working timeline , see below
  
  The clips load fine into the Master session it seems.
  Two questions :
  1. What am I doing wrong ?
  2. Can I manually replace the footage in the red x clips without deleting them, shifting them or any other editing tools ?
  So far I was always screwing up the timeline due to the nature of ripple.

  Sascha,,

  Its a combination of setting you chose on the resolve. Refresh and re import into the media pool each time you try a new setting..
  The program looks at the metadata as you add to the media pool. If the settings are wrong it wont look at the proper code / file name.
