help-> final cut pro user manual

last i checked, EDL export only supports 1 video track.

I would suggest the XML chapter of the manual.

EDLs only carry ONE video track. You need to collapse their tracks down to one, or give you multiple EDLs. And, there are only 2 (maybe 4) tracks of audio. Any more must be contained in the comments in the EDL. I don't know if FCP supports that. If there are more than 2 (or maybe 4) audio tracks, the best bet is to generate multiple EDLs. Finally, no graphic files or titling come across in the edl (well, except as a cut to AUX), so those must be brought along manually.

This is no different than if an Avid editor had to generate EDLs for an online session and not some weird variance for FCP.
