    Hello 🙂

    Where can I get a description of the EDL format ?
    Some things are self explaining but some not. At least for me 🙂

    Is there something like a website or pdf, that explains the syntax in EDL files ?

    Thanks for Your help!

    There are many, many different formats of EDL including those from Sony, Avid and Grass Valley.

    All log the In and Out timecodes of clips but may also include effect/transition type and duration etc.

    The SMPTE is a good source for info on all things TV/Audio/Editing etc.

    Conversion between the many EDL formats is possible using software from Alba Editorial Inc.
