  Comparing EDLs

  Posted by Arctor on April 7, 2005 at 3:17 pm

  Hi,
  I just tried to search the archive here but had no luck at all…which suprises me…
  anyway – I’m looking for a simple tool that will allow me to compare two EDLs – basically do a diff on them and have the tool spit out any changes.
  any help would be great.

  thanks

  There are probably few if any current tools. This used to be a function of apps like Turbo Trace in the DOS days. You might look for EDLMax and see if anything in that suit does what you need. EDLs are also text files which you can open in a word processor, like Word, so you could manually compare them as well.

  Sincerely,
  Oliver

  Forget the manual compare. Looking at EDLs is mind numbing. Go to this web site –

  https://www.editrace.com/

  And behold the joy of an online service that compares two EDLs and then generates a master change EDL.

  First two goes are free and then you pay per use after that. I have used many it to reconform multi track audio projects on cut down versions with great success.
