Thanks for the refresher. I did have it right in my head. After a week of upgrades and driver compatability and trying to make resolve understand FCP X xml and an Avid aaf I'm questioning my own sanity. Good to know I haven't pushed out all the old knowledge for this flood of jibberish as I try to get up to speed on Resolve.

Sort Mode
Select the sort mode for the EDL.
A (Record In) Sorts by the Record In timecode. This results in Sequential editing from one IN point to the next. Use this when you have a short show, want to generate a simple, flexible EDL, or need to make many last-minute decisions.
B (Source, Record In) Sorts by the individual source reel, then by the Record IN timecode. This results in checkerboard editing on the record reel, one source reel to the next. Use this when the length of source material is roughly equivalent to the length of the finished show.
C (Source, Source In) Sorts by individual source reel, then by the Source IN timecode. This results in checkerboard editing on the record reel, with sequential playback of material from each source. Use this when the length of source material is much greater than the length of the finished show.
D (Source, Record In, Effects at End) Sorts by individual source reel, then by the Record In timecode. Sorts effects at the end. Use this when the length of source material is roughly equivalent to the length of the finished show, and there are many special effects.
E (Source, Source In, Effects at End) Sorts by individual source reel, then by the Source IN timecode. Sorts effects at the end. Use when the length of source material is much greater than the length of the finished show, and there are many special effects.
S (Source Start) Sorts by Source IN timecode only. This results in Direct sequential transfer of source material, in matching order on the record reel.
C (Source Start, Source In) Sorts by Source IN timecode, then by individual source reel. This results in Direct sequential transfer of source material by record reel. Use when the length of source material is much greater than the length of the finished show.

A mode was start at the top and do each edit in chronological order. C mode was reel by reel optimizing for source shuttle so each reel's edits would be in an order from start of tape to end of tape on the source side. The gotcha with Preread C mode was often the preread edits would be listed before the A side edit so there was nothing to preread from and you had to manually bounce around the edl to avoid issues. B mode was similar to C mode but IIRC is optimized Record shuttle.Most of my onlines were C mode but I'm not remembering the "spirit" of B mode assembly as clear. Can anyone refresh this Dino brain?There were also D mode and E mode which dealt with clustering effects at some point in the edl. I never used those so I'm sketchy on the specifics.I do remember prereader was a great piece of software for getting a very efficient edl.I figure with labor day coming up some of us need some good topics to discuss around the BBQ and what better the EDL and Assembly modes?John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@...
