EDL export EXTREME (if edl at all), need tool…
Hi all
i’m working on a experimental science fiction film,
and we have a really complicated sequence, including 10th of video tracks, keyed, rezised…
(completely shot on green screen, and “precomposited” in avid)so now we have to send a kind of reference to our compositing people…
we can’t send an EDL, as we can’t, really can’t have everything in one track.
we could do one edl per track
but is there a tool to in the end have some kind of exel file with clip names, and time code reference, so the compositing people can key the right clips, ect…
(we know that resize ect has to be done by hand, but having a clip and time code ref for this multitrack projekt would save a lot of manual work…)
oh and : low budget, old software : it’S been cut in avid 3…..
thanks for any help !

[Nicolas Giraldon] “we could do one edl per track”
That’s how you do it. One EDL per track. EDL tech is VERY old, and cannot be a SUPER EDL. More advanced options are AAF and XML…but Avid only does AAF. If they can take an AAF, great. But if they need an EDL…then you send multiple EDLs, one per track.

Compositing in After Effects? Automatic Duck plugin may help you out. Can convert AAF to After Effects compositions I think.

Avid FilmScribe outputs XML for sequences as well as TAB delimited, and HTML. It can export one list per channel with lots-0-metadata. If using XML, it dumps all source and record info, custom and Avid standard.
See this link for a sample HTML file: https://www.avid.com/static/resources/documents/Products/CStyleAssembly060105_Asm.htm
This page has info on the XML with schema and dictionary:
https://www.avid.com/US/resources/filmscribeThe last version added an XSLT to take the XML change list and represent it as a CMX3600 EDL.
