Export Session Info as Text
Options
Include File List/Region List
You can choose to export a list of the session’s
audio files and regions. The File List provides a
list of all the audio files and fades in the session,
and their hard drive locations. The Region List
displays all audio regions in the session, and the
source audio file for each region.
Include Track EDLs (Playlists)
You can export track EDLs (playlists). Track
EDLs can be used to spot-check region place-
ment and edits, or in a conforming program for
post applications. In extreme circumstances the
EDL can be used to recreate the entire session.
When exporting track EDLs, the following op-
tions are available:
Show Subframes
This option allows you to ex-
port subframe time information with track
EDLs, if used in your session.
Include User Timestamps
You can include user
timestamps with track EDLs. User timestamps
indicate a user-defined session location for the
region, or the original location of the region
when recorded.
Fade Handling For track EDLs, you can choose
whether to show crossfades, not to show them,
or to combine crossfaded regions. When regions
are combined, their durations and locations are
listed up to the center of the crossfade (for the
leading region) and from the center of the cross-
fade (for the following region).
Time Format You can select the appropriate time
format that exported EDL information is based
on. For example, for post work, you might select
SMPTE time, but for music creation locked to a
grid, you might select Bars & Beats.
File Format
You can choose to export to any of several differ-
ent text formats. These include standard text
formats, and Microsoft Word and Excel formats.
