Work with EDL files from Ruby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_decision_list
The library assists in parsing EDL files in CMX 3600 format. You can use it to generate capture lists, inspect needed video segments for the assembled program and display edit timelines. When used together with depix you could write your own "blind" conform utility in about 10 minutes, no joke.
require 'rubygems'
require 'edl'
list = EDL::Parser.new(fps=25).parse(File.open('OFFLINE.EDL'))
list.events.each do | evt |
evt.clip_name #=> Boat_Trip_Take1
evt.capture_from_tc #=> 01:20:22:10
evt.capture_to_tc #=> 01:20:26:15, accounts for outgoing transition AND M2 timewarps
end
- Timecode gem (sudo gem install timecode)
There is currently no support for:
- drop-frame TC
- audio
- split edits
- key effects
Some reverse/timewarp combinations can produce source dificiencies of 1 frame
Add the following to your project Gemfile:
gem 'edl'
