Using EDL Access for RT-11 Disks
Many older linear editing systems (such as CMX and GVG) store EDLs on 720K
double-density floppy disks that are formatted with a file system known as RT-11
1
. If
you are transferring your EDL to one of these editing systems, you need to transfer
your EDL file to this kind of floppy disk.
EDL Access
™
is an application that you can use to format, read, and write to RT-11
formatted disks. EDL Access is included on the Final Cut Pro installer disc. You can use
EDL Access to copy an EDL file to or from an RT-11 formatted disk using a third-party
USB floppy disk drive.
Note: Editing systems manufactured by Sony Corporation use the DOS file format. For
these editing systems, you can copy the EDL file directly to a DOS-formatted disk.
