Edit Decision Lists

You can import Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) in CMX3600 format.

EDLs are cut lists or representations of video edits that can be used to align audio events to a reference video file. They contain reel and timecode data that help you to detect the exact position of each video clip. Most EDLs are simple ASCII files created by offline editing systems, but you can also create, open, and edit them manually with a text editor.

The information contained in an EDL can be used in Nuendo to place audio events in the Project window at the specific timecode positions that correspond to the edits made in the video editing suite.

EDLs allow you to edit your audio according to the cuts of a video. When you import an EDL in Nuendo together with the cut video file, each cut described in the EDL is indicated by a marker.
