IMPORTING THE EDL

Before importing an EDL, you must load a project. Depending on the situation, you should
either load the project you want to import the EDL into or use NEW PROJECT to create a
brand new, empty project. Once you have done that and assuming you have set
everything accordingly, go o the IMPORT EDL page to see this screen:
Just as you would load a project, select the EDL you wish to import and press the flashing
EXECUTE key. You will see the floppy disk LED come on and you will see a prompt telling
you the EDL is being loaded.
If you have not selected tracks for edit, you will see the message when you press
EXECUTE:
Similarly, if the tracks have not been mapped, you will see this message:
Take the appropriate action in both cases.
Assuming everything has been set up correctly, the EDL will be imported into the current
project on the tracks selected for edit.
In the GRID, you will see the cues in the EDL as they will appear once the auto conform
process has been completed- i.e. you will see the cues at their destination times. These
cues will be shown in a dark grey colour. You will automatically be taken to beginning of
the first imported cue.
