EDL Compatibility

While EDL Importer works with most standard EDL formats, some EDLs might have different specifications or non-standard formatting. We're committed to making EDL Importer work with as many EDL formats as possible.

If you encounter an EDL that doesn't import correctly, please open a support ticket and attach the EDL file.
