For example it only goes up to 999 edits per project, supports only 4 audio tracks per video track and supports only Cuts, Fades and Keys. But it has the advantage of being a standard format supported by many NLEs. \CGG{} uses a rich XML format that is not compatible with other NLEs. You can use the \textit{Export to EDL} option to try to produce EDL files of type CMX3600 in \textit{strict mode} and thus be able to bring them into other NLEs. Given the limitation of this format, however, it is difficult to get a working EDL file that exactly reproduces the original xml. This feature also produces files that each contain a video track or an audio track and does not embed video with audio or audio with audio. + \subsection{Backup and Perpetual Session}% \label{sub:backup_perpetual_session} \index{backup} diff --git a/parts/Shortcuts.tex b/parts/Shortcuts.tex index 2f6a0c2..42437e8 100644 --- a/parts/Shortcuts.tex +++ b/parts/Shortcuts.tex @@ -59,6 +59,7 @@ The Main window (also called the program window) consists of pulldown menus, but & Scan\dots & Ctrl-Alt-s & Open dvb scan window. \\ & SubTitle\dots & Alt-y & Open subtitle script window. \\ & Render\dots & Shift-R & Open render window. \\ + & Export EDL\dots & Shift-E & Export to CMX3600 format. \\ & Batch Render\dots & Shift-B & Open batch render window. \\ & BD Render\dots & Ctrl-Shift-D & Open create bluray disk window. \\ & DVD Render\dots & Alt-D & Open create dvd disk window. \\ -- 2.26.2
