1 Open the Edit page and select the Timeline you want to export an EDL from in the Media Pool.
2 Exported EDLs only have a single video track. For timelines with multiple tracks, only the events on the video track with the destination control assigned to it will be exported (the destination control is the first control at the left in the track header). If you want to export a track other than Video 1, you can assign the destination control to the specific track you need to export.
3 Right-click the Timeline in the Media Pool, and choose Timelines > Export > AAF/XML/EDL from the contextual menu.
4 When the Export Timeline dialog appears, type a name, choose a location for the exported EDL, and choose EDL Files from the drop-down menu at the bottom, then click Save. An EDL is exported.
Exporting a Missing Clips EDL
This command lets you export a quick report listing all clips that are offline in the currently selected track of the Timeline in the Edit page. This report is in EDL format, with one event for each clip that’s offline, which describes the reel number and source timecode of the missing media, as well as the record timecode of the missing media’s position on the Timeline.
