In the above example, the whole of clip 2 has been added
as sub clip 1, and the whole of clip 4 has been added as sub
clip 2.
Sub clip 3 is part of clip 3. Therefore, when EDL E0001 is
played back, clip 4 is played after clip 2, and then the part
of clip 3 shown in gray color is played.
EDL editing (current EDL)
To edit an EDL on a disc, you must first select the target
EDL for editing. Existing EDLs and newly created EDLs
can be selected. The target EDL for editing is called the
"current EDL".
EDLs are automatically saved on a disc when they are
created and modified.
The current EDL icon is displayed in the status display
area on the clip list screen (thumbnail view) when the
current EDL is selected.
