Healing Entries in the Change EDL

Healing entries helps reducing the complexity of a Change EDL by combining two or more consecutive entries to become one entry.

Healing is useful if the comparison of old and new EDL results in a Change EDL in which multiple consecutive entries are unchanged and still in the same order.

Procedure

  1. Select two or more consecutive entries in the Change EDL.
  2. Right-click within the selected entries.
  3. Select Healing and choose from the following options:

    • None

      Entries are not combined.

    • Normal

      Consecutive entries without gaps are combined to a single entry.

    • Gaps without Inserts

      Consecutive entries with gaps are combined to a single entry if the gap length is identical in source and destination file and there is no New EDL entry that inserts a new video clip into this gap.

    • Gaps with Inserts

      Even if a New EDL entry inserts a new video clip into a gap, consecutive entries with gaps are combined to a single entry if the gap length is identical in source and destination file.

    Note

    You can automate the healing process by selecting one of the Heal Processing options in the options dialog. You can always return to uncombined entries by selecting None.

Result

The selected consecutive entries become one entry.
