Re: [Avid-L2] convert "Pull List" in Excel to EDL

So I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I exported a bin as an ALE, then without making any changes to it, I saved it back out as a Tab Delineated file. Removed the .txt extension so it's just has the .ale extension, and then tired to import it. I get the error,

Exception: Resource temporally unavailable,

Any ideas?

thanks

Jay

Oh? How do I do that? I don't think I've ever done that before. Do you know of a link to an example?

Thanks,

Convert to ALE is easier, and should do the trick.

I was sent a pull list in a Excel sheet. Typical sort of thing. First column is the file name of the camera master, followed by a second column in an in-point TC, and then a third column with the out-point TC. There is no Record side in/out, just source side. So I usually just go through by hand and pull the clips. No big deal because there is usual a dozen or so clips to pull. Well, this pull list is 300 events long. Ugh. Is there an easy (less painful than what I'm already doing) way to convert this Excel pull list to an EDL that I can import and link to my camera masters? This would make it so much easier. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Thank you again,
Jay
