I actually tried this 'EDL export function, with simple one track dog file.
Hm ... I can't see any info about fle used? cat '/dev/shm/dog/dog/dog.edl' TITLE: Cinproj FORMAT: CMX 3600 4-Ch 001 BL V C 00:00:00:00 00:00:17:09 00:00:00:00 00:00:17:09 002 BL V C 00:00:00:00 00:00:11:13 00:00:17:09 00:00:29:07 according to https://developer.blender.org/T53615 this file format at least initially included reel_name (is this info still around in CinGG?) but late tools used other way to identify source files ... ------------------copypasta------ Description In 2.79 The file path parsing gives an error. Open an EDL file, hit 'Refresh Reels' - gives the error: "File not found". However, this bug isn't in 2.77. Cross dissolve transitions are added to the entire following clip and not just the transition duration. 'Import EDL" script will give a non-descriptive error if there are space characters in the reel name. The in EDLs the reel name column is always 8 characters wide and can contain spaces. "* From clip name:" should(also) be used to id filenames. All Pro NLEs(Ex. Avid, Premiere, Final Cut and Davinci Resolve) are using this comment to locate source files(full file name with extension, but no path). Once mentioned here: https://developer.blender.org/T48146 Only archaic EDL importers like the one in Lightworks only uses the reel name for file id, however in Lightworks the time code and reel name must be embedded in the source files (ffmpeg can read/write this). But as mentioned most other pro EDL importers have the option to ignore embedded time codes and use the comments to id filenames(instead of reel name). Ex. EDL file from Premiere: TITLE: 4tin2tin FCM: NON-DROP FRAME 001 AX AA/V C 00:07:16:20 00:07:21:12 00:00:00:00 00:00:04:17 * FROM CLIP NAME: 4tin2tin.mp4 002 AX V C 00:07:16:20 00:07:20:12 00:00:00:00 00:00:03:17 * FROM CLIP NAME: 4tin2tin.mp4 003 AX V C 00:07:20:12 00:07:20:12 00:00:03:17 00:00:03:17 FCM: NON-DROP FRAME 003 AX V D 025 00:37:45:21 00:37:47:12 00:00:03:17 00:00:05:08 EFFECTS NAME IS CROSS DISSOLVE * FROM CLIP NAME: 4tin2tin.mp4 * TO CLIP NAME: 4tin2tin.mp4 004 AX V C 00:37:46:21 00:37:48:12 00:00:04:17 00:00:06:08 * FROM CLIP NAME: 4tin2tin.mp4 005 AX V C 00:37:46:21 00:37:47:12 00:00:04:17 00:00:05:08 * FROM CLIP NAME: 4tin2tin.mp4 ------copypasta ends----- Apparently this summer interesting framework OpenTimelineIO was opened, with (buggy?) CMX 3600 module: https://opentimelineio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/otio-plugins.html also https://github.com/iluvcapra/pycmx pycmx The pycmx package provides a basic interface for parsing a CMX 3600 EDL and its most most common variations. Features The major variations of the CMX 3600: the standard, "File32" and "File128" formats are automatically detected and properly read. ---------- Пересланное сообщение ---------- Тема: Interesting info about EDL I found .... Дата: Среда 30 октября 2019 Отправитель: Andrew Randrianasulu <[email protected]> Получатель: "Cinelerra.GG" <[email protected]> While translating (attempting to translate few still untranslated things) CinGG I found interesting note about EDL export. Intially I assumed it only works with some long-obsoleted device/soft, but today I found this page (while looking at timecode feature): https://eyeframeconverter.wordpress.com/mlt2edl/ MLT2EDL NB. Since Shotcut version 16.06 this script is not needed anymore. Shotcut can export EDL files natively: https://www.shotcut.org/blog/new-release-1606/ Mlt2edl is a python script for converting Shotcut mlt files into ex. Blender (v. 2.72 beta or higher) friendly CMX 3600 EDL files. The converted EDL files will also work in Lightworks and Resolve. Mlt2edl is based on the Kdenparse python script by Will Riley. Because CinGG (and original Cin) should be able to output exactly this EDL (???) format ... This mean she automatically compatible with "Lightworks and Resolve" and Blender, too?? Anyone can test this? ------------------------------------------------------- -- Cin mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin
