Include Track EDLs (Playlists)
You can export track EDLs (playlists). Track
EDLs can be used to spot-check region place-
ment and edits, or in a conforming program for
post applications. In extreme circumstances the
EDL can be used to recreate the entire session.
MIDI track EDLs are not exported.
When exporting track EDLs, the following op-
tions are available:
Show Subframes This option allows you to ex-
port subframe time information with track
EDLs, if used in your session.
Include User Timestamps You can include user
timestamps with track EDLs. User timestamps
indicate a user-defined session location for the
region, or the original location of the region
when recorded.
Fade Handling For track EDLs, you can choose
whether to show crossfades, not to show them,
or to combine crossfaded regions. When regions
are combined, their durations and locations are
listed up to the center of the crossfade (for the
leading region) and from the center of the cross-
fade (for the following region).
Time Format You can select the appropriate time
format that exported EDL information is based
on. For example, for post work, you might select
SMPTE time, but for music creation locked to a
grid, you might select Bars & Beats.
File Format
You can choose to export to any of several differ-
ent text formats. These include standard text
formats, and Microsoft Word and Excel formats.

File List and Region List
Next, if you choose to include them, are the lists
of audio files and regions.
Track EDLs
The final item, if exported, is the list of track
EDLs. A track EDL lists the track name, and all
edits, including the event number, the region
name, region start and end time, and region du-
ration. The region timestamp is also exported, if
you select this option. Subframes are shown in
each time field if you select this option.
