    EDL without EDL Manager

    Posted by Marissa Gouverne on January 12, 2017 at 7:31 pm

    Hey all!

    I’m working on Avid v7.0.6 and I’m trying to get an EDL out of my very complex timeline. I can’t get EDL Manager to spit out all video tracks, but even after I flattened those I get an EDL that’s riddled with errors. I have about ten audio tracks, which I can’t really flatten. There’s got to be a better way out there.

    Also worth mentioning that this is a documentary and we’re making an EDL mid-project in order to count up the in/outs of all of our archival footage and sound cues for licensing. It has to be fairly accurate or else we’re going to have a lot of trouble. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Why you don’t try with an XML file? or even an AAF, just link media. XML is now a standar, and I’m sure it have the same information than a EDL.

    The challenge is getting a file format that can be easily parsed for reporting on different needs like stock footage, music queues and such as mentioned by the OP. Media Composer does not have an official XML that is maintained, but there is one available via Avid FilmScribe. But with an XML, a parser is still needed to put it into a more usable format like Excel.

    An EDL can be generated for each of the tracks if well organized, and Excel can take in an EDL using spaces as a separator as long as other metadata doesn’t have spaces in it or each will be in its own column which may still be fine, but then you still need to create a formula for adding up etc.

    AAF is a binary format that is not man-readable without a lot of engineering. Even going through the steps of using AAAF Dumper results in an overload of information that will take forever to go through if you don’t understand the AAF structure. For example, the below is an AAF output of a single title. That’s it, just one title, nothing else on the timeline. And you can see what I am referring to when parsing AAF:

    AAF DLL path name: C:\AAF DUMPER\AAFCOAPI.dll
    AAF DLL version : 1.1.6 (6995)
    Dump of file: C:\AAF DUMPER\Single title.aaf

    Can you export more than one EDL? When I do turnovers, I usually export one EDL per video track, and one EDL for every four audio tracks. It’s not fun, but I’ve used this method for picture and sound turnovers. By the same note, you should be able to use this for your archival tracks.

    [Santiago Escudero] “Why you don’t try with an XML file? or even an AAF, just link media. XML is now a standar, and I’m sure it have the same information than a EDL.”

    Avid doesn’t export, nor import, XML. Just FYI

    Might have to. That’s not what my archival team wants because that can get pretty clunky when they’re trying to order masters (i.e. if the audio of a clip extends past the length of the video), but it’s not looking like there’s a decent alternative while the timeline is kind of a mess and EDL Manager is being this difficult. I’ll work it out today and see if that’ll solve the problem, however.
    Thanks everyone!
