EDL Sort Methods
Given this is something that seems to come up fairly often in post, I found it remarkable that there isn’t really a concise definition of EDL sorting methods (or modes if you prefer). So for posterity, here goes:
- A-mode: Sorts by record timecode
- B-mode: Sorts by reel number then record timecode
- C-mode: Sorts by reel number then source timecode
- D-mode: Sorts by transition (cuts first), then reel number, then record timecode
- E-mode: Sorts by transition (cuts first), then reel number, then source timecode
