Actually, I think there is a bit of a misnomer here. I know that a
few people have been using the word "editlist" to simply describe a
Vegas Project - a series of edits, or a version of a project. David
Ruby, I believe, uses this terminology. As for the edit list in
Vegas, It can be very useful for syncing events to specific moments
in time - to timecoded video or time locked portions of a project.
You can manually enter in the time at which an event should appear in
the project, how long it is, the end point. You can affect the
switches here, too. Normalize, etc. Also, say you have many many
events in a project and you want to locate where one is quickly, you
can use the "select" switch to select it in the project. You can
easily change the name of a take. You can use it to change the names
and times of markers and regions, etc. There's quite a lot of power
in it if you're used to working that way. I, personally, barely ever
use it.
