Target Video Track Only
This option allows you to select whether or not your EDL includes keying events when
you have clips on track V2.
An EDL can only include edits that are possible with a tape-based editing system. Since
videotape formats typically have only one video track, you can choose only one video
track in your Final Cut Pro sequence.
When you select the “Target Video Track Only” option, Final Cut Pro uses the current
destination video track in the Timeline to determine which video track is exported to
your EDL, and no key events are created in the EDL. For example, you can export only
the clips on video track V3 by setting it to the current destination track in the Timeline.
For more information about setting destination tracks, see Volume II, Chapter 8,
“Working with Tracks in the Timeline.”
This option is useful for exporting separate EDLs, one at a time, for each video track
above V1.
When this option is deselected, Final Cut Pro includes keying (K) events. Video track V1 is
treated as the background layer and track V2 as the foreground layer of the key effect.
The following event refers to the first text generator clip in the sequence shown above.
001 002 V K B 02:10:42:13 02:10:52:13 01:00:00:00 01:00:10:00
001 GEN V K 000 00:00:55:00 00:00:55:00 01:00:00:00 01:00:00:00
This option does not affect audio track export.
Omit Transitions
Check this box to ignore all transitions in your sequence so the EDL contains cuts only.
This keeps your EDL as simple as possible, so transitions won’t complicate your online
session. The online editor can create the necessary transitions.
