User Guide
Components of an EDL
While slight differences exist among different EDLs, most contain eight primary columns
and two auxiliary columns.
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
A. Header Names the list and the type of timecode in which the record was created (drop frame or
non-drop-frame).
B
. Event Number Identifies a single event, or edit. The event number can be important as you fine-
tune the program on the online system, because you can use it to locate a specific edit. Certain
events may use more than one line of the EDL. Unnumbered lines accompanying events are called
notes or comments.
C
. Source Reel ID Identifies the name or number of the videotape containing the clip.
D
. Edit Mode Indicates whether the edits take place on the video track only (V), the audio track only
(A), or a combination of both the video and the audio tracks (B).
E
. Transition Type Describes the type of edit: C represents a cut, W represents a wipe, K represents
a key (superimposed), and D represents a dissolve.
F
. Source In and Source Out Lists the timecode of the first frame and the last frame of the clip as it
appears on the source videotape.
G
. Program In and Program Out Lists the timecode at which the source clip is to be recorded on the
master tape.
