Use ALE Export to Create Shotlists and Batchlists
A shotlist (also known as logging list or batch list) contains the most important information about the
clips of a project. This information is also called metadata and presented in a way similar to that of an
EDL (Edit Decision List). Metadata comprise clip name, Reel name, mark in and mark out, comments,
and other info.
Shot lists and logging lists can be exchanged between different editing systems. They may also serves to
archive Project contents.
