ABOUT EDL TOOLBOX

Focused tools for edit-list work.

A browser workspace for the small, precise jobs between an edit and its next destination. Inspect, clean, repair and convert EDL and editing XML files.

Make the handoff easier.

A list can be almost right: the cuts are there, but the reel names need cleaning, the source timecodes need an offset, or the destination needs a different format. These are the jobs EDL Toolbox brings into one focused workspace.

The scope is EDL, editing XML and AAF video interchange: inspect the events, choose an operation, review the result and export a usable list. It is built around the details that matter when a timeline moves between people and applications.

Built around the work.

Editorial

Clean comments, compare event lists and prepare an edit for the next department.

Color & conform

Review reel names, source timing and record positions before matching an edit to media.

VFX

Inspect source ranges, split lists and organize the edit information needed for a handoff.

Scanning & telecine

Work with reel-based source lists, adjust timecodes and report source usage.

A clear path from file to result.

  1. Work in your browser. No installation or operating-system-specific utility. Open an EDL, XML or AAF, or explore an included sample.
  2. See what will change. Compare the imported source with the live result of all chosen operations. Review their order, approve the complete batch and export from Side-by-Side. Undo restores the previous approved state.
  3. Keep timing explicit. Playback FPS and DF/NDF numbering are separate settings. Multitrack XML and AAF exports keep each selected video track in its own EDL.
  4. Keep file processing local. Your edit-list contents are processed in this browser and are not uploaded to a server. Working edits stay in this tab’s memory, so export before reloading or closing it.

A focused set of supported workflows.

The current app covers the core edit-list tools and a defined subset of EDL/XML interchange and AAF video and audio interchange. More complex timeline structures need further development. The Formats page describes what is supported today.

Start with a list you know.

Open a file or try a sample, choose a tool and inspect the result. Your working file stays open when you move between Tools, Formats, Guides and About in this tab.
