list/Print/export list of clips in a track
I have many clips in many tracks. In CS6, I can’t find a way to just print a list of those clips. Would be great to have the start and stop times for each clip as well. Ideally, I would also like to be able to export them to a spreadsheet. Sounds simple and probably is, but I don’t know how to do it.
Thank you for your help.

You cannot export complicated sequences, at least not in one go.
Going to File > Export > EDL will export a list with most of what you want but it is limited to one video track and, I believe, 4 audio tracks.
It creates a text file with the extension EDL (it’s very human readable, pop it open in a text editor). If you need to convert it to a true spreadsheet, open it up in Excel… I believe it’s a tab delimited file so it should come in very clean.
If you have multiple video tracks, you may have to export an EDL for each track and do some manual work in Excel to organize it how you like.

Thanks for the info Angelo. I tried what you suggested. The EDL file does contain lots of great info. Unfortunately, it is not easy to decipher even with Excel. I even used WORD. It take a lot of work to get the data into a working form for me. Although, the info is there and at least I can pick an choose some things.
Thank you for your assistance.
