Importing EDLs
Step by Step
To imp or t a n EDL:
1 Click File > Import > EDL.
2 The EDL Import dialog box appears. Select an EDL.
(Note: Avid Liquid supports the above-mentioned EDL formats.)
3 Click Open. The selected EDL is transferred as a new Sequence to the active Project. In the Project
window, a new Rack Folder is created. This folder contains the Racks of the various types of
media (depends on Sequence imported).
After you have loaded an EDL in a Project, the Sequence appears as “empty” clips on the Timeline.
To batch digitize clips, open the Rack Folder created when the EDL was imported. Open the Rack short-
cut menu. Select Batch Digitize > All in Rack. For more information, see “Batch Digitize (Batch Capture)”
on page 305.
EDLs cannot be directly imported into an existing Sequence. Instead, a new Sequence has to be created.
