Before Exporting

The script will export one .edl file containing one video channel and four audio channels, so flatten your channels before export. Use this add-on for this purpose: https://github.com/tin2tin/arrange_sequence

Import an EDL in Davinci Resolve

• Set the project framerate to the framerate of the EDL(the edl files do not carry this information)
• Select in project settings "Use time code from source clip frame count", "Assist using reel names from source clip filenames" and "Extract reel names from EDL comments"
• Import all your raw video assets into the Media bins.
• In the Timeline Management pane, click load to import your EDL

Using the import EDL addon in Blender

( https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/EDL_Import )

• Open Blender.
• File > User preferences > Addons > Categories > Import – Export > Import – Export Import EDL > Check it.
• Click button > Save user settings (so that setting will be used each time you start Blender).

• To the right of the time line you’ll see EDL import
• Click the open folder button under the offset line and select your edl file.
