Dissolves in EDLs
I'm trying to export an EDL for the post facility. There are a fair amount of dissolves in this video, so I have two video layers. I'm exporting the EDL as CMX 3600, sorting Mater Audio Merged, Reel conflicts: Generic edits, video levels, filters, and transitions included.
The exported EDL looks like the following:
005 WEDSNG01 V K B 01:24:20:28 01:24:22:27 00:01:13:15 00:01:15:14
005 WEDSNG02 V K O 057 03:04:16:21 03:04:16:21 00:01:13:15 00:01:13:15
* OPACITY LEVEL AT 01:24:22;27 IS 100.00% (REEL WEDSNG01)
* KEY LEVEL AT 03:04:16;23 IS 100.00% (REEL WEDSNG02)
The post facility is saying their Henry and Flame machines cannot read these transitions, and that the EDL should contain the word "Dissolve" followed by a number of frames. To fade between video levels I've tried both making keyframes in video levels as well as dissolve filters, but neither seems to produce the required EDL. What is the proper way to prepare and export dissolves for an EDL?
Thanks!
