Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1622)

If you entered the wrong reel name when you logged a clip, you can change the reel
name in the Browser or in the Item Properties window.
To change a clip’s reel name in the Browser
1 Select a clip, then Control-click in the Reel column.
All reel names used in the current project appear as choices in the menu.
Note: To change the reel name for several clips at once, select multiple clips in the Browser.
2 Choose the correct reel name from the shortcut menu.
All selected clips are assigned the new reel name you choose. This information is changed
both in the clips and in the original media files stored on disk.
Important: If you change EDL formats, your reel names may no longer be correct for the
EDL format you selected. Final Cut Pro automatically replaces any incorrect reel assignment
and inserts a note in the EDL indicating the old and new reel names.
Choosing a Timecode Track Used for a Clip
When you export an EDL, the timecode used is determined by each clip’s TC property.
Ordinarily, this is the Source timecode track originally logged and captured with your
media files. If you’re using Auxiliary timecode tracks with your clips and you want to
export an EDL using the Aux 1 or Aux 2 timecode track, simply change the TC property
of the clips to Aux 1 or Aux 2.
For more information about adding or modifying timecode tracks to clips and media files,
see
“Working with Timecode.”
Choosing a Sequence Frame Rate
The following sequence frame rates are supported for EDL export.
Timecode rate used in EDL
Sequence timebase (frame
rate)
30 fps 29.97 fps
30 fps
25 fps 25 fps
24 fps 23.98 fps
24 fps
24 @ 25 fps
24 fps
Note: Final Cut Pro always uses the timecode assigned in the sequence’s settings.
