EDL Tab Window
The EDL (Edit Decision List) Window, is a textual and numeric representation of the same information shown
graphically in the Timeline and Fade Editor.
Changes made here are reflected in the Timeline and vice-versa The list shows information concerning the Clips in
the form of a list of text and TimeCode fields, most of which can be edited. This provides an alternate way of view-
ing and editing the composition. To edit a field, click in it to produce a cursor, or drag across the text in the field to
select it, then type the desired information using normal text entry procedures.
Fields can be adjusted in width in the usual Windows way. Clicking in a Field label will sort all entries in the list in
ascending order, sorted on that field. A second click sorts in descending order.
