Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1609)

Split edits, where the video and audio have separate In and Out points, require three
lines.
SPLIT: VIDEO DELAY= 00:00:02:00
004002AAC02:18:30:07 02:18:56:19 01:00:32:05 01:00:58:17
004002VC02:18:32:07 02:18:56:19 01:00:34:05 01:00:58:17
The first line indicates which track is delayed and by how much, the second line indicates
the track (audio or video) that plays through the entire edit duration, and the third line
contains the delayed track.
Notes
An EDL can store notes, indicated by a line starting with an asterisk (*), between event
lines. Notes can be used to clarify events for the editor receiving the EDL, and can include
information that the EDL cannot store directly. For example, an EDL can’t directly store
audio levels of a clip, but the audio level can be stored in the EDL as a note. In the EDL
Export dialog, you can choose to export one of the Master Comments 1–4 or Comments
A–B.
