Sorting Pop-Up Menu
This menu allows you to choose the order in which your sequence clips are sorted in
the exported EDL.
 Master, Audio Merged: Clips appear in the order in which they occur in the sequence.
Audio clips that start and end together are merged into one event line where
possible. This sorting method allows you to recreate your sequence in order of clips
in the Timeline.
 Source, Audio Merged: Clips are ordered based on their arrangement in the original
source tapes. Event number 1 has the earliest starting timecode on the lowest-
numbered reel. This sorting method allows you to recreate your sequence one reel at
a time, regardless of clip order in the Timeline.
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
video tape 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.
