[EDL Importer Detailed Settings] Dialog Box

[EDL Type]

Select the EDL type to input.

[Import Format]

This setting is available when you select CMX type in [EDL Type].

Select the calculation method of Out point for the source file with a speed specified.

[Mode1]

Add (subtract) the value of source duration multiplied by the speed to the timecode at In point, and calculate the timecode at the Out point. Using the timecode at Player In point as reference, add for the + direction or subtract for the - direction.

[Mode2]

Use the timecode of Player Out point, not calculating Out point when Player In and Out points become the timecodes of source In and Out points.

[Handle black clips as empty clips]

When the reel name is BL/BLK/BLACK, handle the clip as a black clip, and handle the black clip as an empty clip.

[Overwrite clips that are stacked on top of each other in the timeline video track]/[Overwrite audio clips that are stacked on top of each other in the timeline audio track]

If importing a file without checking [New sequence] in the [Open] dialog box, the current clips are overwritten when the clips are stacked on the timeline of the 1VA (1V, 1A) track. If this item is unchecked, the clips are not overwritten, but the clips are placed on 2VA, 3VA (2V, 3V, 2A, 3A) tracks. If there is no 2VA, 3VA (2V, 3V, 2A, 3A) tracks, a new track is created.

[Match channels when the channels in a transition's "from" side and "to" side is different]

If the number of video or audio are determined to be different between the From side and To side, the number information of the video and audio on the To side is copied to the From side for alignment. This setting is available when you select CMX type in [EDL Type].
