11 years ago Even though it would be easier to edit, I'd prefer the current format for this reason. I'm using the edl file to import into Audacity as a label file (the new format doesn't work, I tried). I can export the audio from a m4v, import to Audacity along with the edl file, mute the sound for each label, save the audio, and add the audio as a separate track. Allow me to use an edited version in any app. I know its out of the specific purpose of the addon, but if you could keep this format or allow the format to be selected, I'd be grateful.
Request: Is it possible to output the EDL file to different formatting? ... But XBMC can also read EDL files that look like this (taken from the same movie)
01:00.54 01:02.56 1 06:09.66 06:12.40 1 etc.
The benefit to displaying the time stamp the second way is that a human can read it a LOT easier. Hence they can go in and manually edit the .EDL file if they need to. I've found two good reasons for manually editing an EDL file. First, is when looking to entirely "skip" a scene that's "objectionable". As you probably know, placing a "0" instead of a "1" will skip the scene. But obviously it doesn't make sense to automatically do this from a .srt subtitle, so you would need to add the time stamp manually. Second, sometimes "objectionable" content isn't "objectionable" when it's in a different context. For example the words Jesus, Christ, God, hell, balls, etc.. So that would be radical if this was changed to an easier-to-read time stamp. I'm not aware of any negatives to this approach (?)
