Importing an EDL

You can import the data that is contained in a EDL file to marker tracks.

Procedure

  1. Optional: Create a new project.

    This is not strictly necessary, but helps you keep track of things.

  2. Set up the project frame rate according to the frame rate of the EDL that you want to import.

    For EDL import, Nuendo supports the frame rates 24 fps, 25 fps, 29.97 fps, 29.97 dfps, 30 fps, and 30 dfps.

  3. Select File > Import > EDL CMX3600.
  4. Select the file that you want to import, and click Open.
  5. In the Import Options dialog in the Import column, activate the marker tracks that you want to import.

    You can also select all tracks by clicking Select All Tracks.

  6. In the sections Marker Options - Video and Marker Options - Audio, select whether you want to import position or cycle markers.
  7. Click OK to import the EDL file.

    If there are EDL edits outside the current project range, you are asked if you want the range to be automatically adjusted.
