Upload your EDL
Export from your NLE — see instructions above.
How to export your EDL
  1. Flatten your timeline — Premiere only exports Track V1. Move all clips to V1, or use Sequence → Flatten.
  2. Go to File → Export → EDL…
  3. Leave all settings at defaults and click OK.
  4. Save the .edl file and upload it below.

⚠ Clips on V2, V3 etc. will not appear in the EDL. Flatten first.

  1. Flatten your timeline — move all clips to the primary storyline, or use Clip → Overwrite to Primary Storyline.
  2. Go to File → Export XML… — Final Cut does not export EDL natively.
  3. Convert the FCP XML to EDL using a free tool such as XtoCC or Recut.
  4. Upload the resulting .edl file below.

⚠ Final Cut Pro X has no native EDL export. The XML → EDL conversion step is required.

  1. Flatten your timeline — right-click the timeline in the Media Pool and choose Flatten, or consolidate clips onto Video Track 1 manually.
  2. In the Edit page, go to File → Export → Timeline…
  3. Choose EDL as the format and set Source Track to Video 1 only.
  4. Save the .edl file and upload it below.

⚠ Select Video Track 1 only. Exporting all tracks produces one EDL per track.

⚠
Flatten all tracks before exporting Only clips on Track V1 are exported to EDL. Anything on V2, V3 etc. appears as a black gap and will be skipped.
