Importing third-party EDLs into Vegas

Can this be done? I want to recapture six hours of DV using Vegas capture, but I'd like to use the EDL I painstakingly created in another application. Am I SOL?

Hi Scott,

You can import EDLs, they need to conform to the format below... Vegas finds the media based on the reel number and the filename in the comment for each event. You might use a text editor (textpad is great) to edit your EDL to match the format.

(I suggest you try with one reel first. )
