How to create EDL (sound TC) for turnover to sound editor?

[Q-Panic]

Hi!

I'm prepping a short I cut for turnover to our sound editor. He requested an EDL with the sound TC, so he can rebuild the audio based on the original production sound recordings.

The sound was recorded separately, brought into Avid and synced with the footage. I checked the sound dailies bin in Avid and the actual clip name for each track is recorded in the "TapeID" column (unfortunately they do not always match up the slate number for each shot) . The "Tape" column shows the the correct numbers (1 to 8).

Now is there a way to include the TapeID in the EDL as a comment? Without the clip names, the sound editor has to go through a bunch of wavs in each "tape folder" to figure out which clip is the right one.

Any other comments or suggestions on how to create a proper EDL for sound turnover would be much appreciated.

Highlight the whole TapeID column and do a command-D or control-D. Select SoundRoll as column. Click OK and all values will go into that column. Use Sound Roll as source when generating EDL via EDL options for source.

Thanks, Michael. The command+D worked fine. However, I can't select Sound Roll as Source TC via EDL option (I currently have Start selected, Sound TC doesn't work at all). I can select Sound Roll as Reel ID Type, but nothing changes. All I get is that 684 events had to be changed...

It's surprising that there are no decent tutorials out there on how to properly use EDLs...

Have you read the user guide for EDL Manager?. I don't believe you have any values in the Soound TC column since they are all in the START if you brougt them in as BWF.
