Hello,
I'm developing a piece of audio software and one of my users has requested EDL txt file output so they can import a project created by my software in Vegas. I'm not able to find much information on the file format other than what I can gleam just from reading one myself.
Does anyone know if there is a way to include volume envelopes in an EDL text file for import into Vegas?
Thanks!

There's certainly a way to get/set the information in VEGAS and it could certainly be written to/read from a file. The question is - would the other program write/read that information? But it sounds like you're writing the other program so it can put whatever you want in the EDL.
In this case it sounds like you need to define your own EDL file and create your own importing script in VEGAS that will read the information and add the proper volume nodes.
This would be similar to the VEGAS Stream Import script which imports the streams created in VEGAS Stream. It has it's own format that the specific script knows how to read. It's not a "generic edl file" but one specifically designed for the stream information (including volume changes!) The script just had to properly interpret that information to the VEGAS timeline.
If you need help developing the script to import into VEGAS, take a look at my scripting tutorials. I can certainly help you with this.
