• Audio Mapping: Use these pop-up menus to assign each of the eight possible sequence audio tracks to the four audio EDL tracks (the maximum supported by audio EDLs). See Audio Track Usage for details about configuring these settings. • Include clip comments: When this option is selected, the audio EDL includes the name of the clip file (if known) as a comment for each event in the list. • Include scene and take comments: When this option is selected, the audio EDL includes the scene and take numbers as comments for each event in the list. • Open in text editor: When this option is selected, the exported audio EDL opens in the text editor specified in the pop-up menu. Because the audio EDL is actually a text file, the TextEdit application is typically used. Audio Track Usage Although Final Cut Pro supports many audio tracks, the Cinema Tools Export Audio EDL feature includes only the first eight, and audio EDLs support a maximum of four. The Export Audio EDL dialog provides settings for each of the eight possible audio tracks, allowing you to map them to the four EDL tracks. The track configuration pop-up menus are active for those tracks included in the sequence-all others are unavailable. Although it is possible to map multiple tracks to a single EDL track, this frequently results in errors and confusion in the resulting EDL. Because there is no way to fit the eight audio tracks into the four EDL tracks, you must export two EDLs-one EDL with tracks 1 through 4 enabled (and the others off ), and the other EDL with tracks 5 through 8 enabled. Be aware that some sound editors may prefer a single track per EDL, requiring you to export multiple audio EDLs. Make sure to consult with your sound editor before you export the audio EDL. Using the Export Audio EDL Feature from Cinema Tools You will most often use the Cinema Tools Export Audio EDL feature from within Final Cut Pro. You can use this feature from within Cinema Tools, but because Cinema Tools does not have the edited sequence directly available, an additional step is required to create a Cinema Tools program file.
