As the role of an editor, I created the EDL of my 1 minute short film. EDL stands for Edit decision list and it is important because it contains all the shots that I used and so that I can digitally send the footage to the person who will then complete the edit using soundtracks and special effects. In the media industry, that person would be paid more to input the soundtracks and special effects. To create the EDL by opening Final Cut Pro and clicked on file, then Export XML, then I saved it to the desktop so that I can drag and drop it into Microsoft Excel so that it opened up in code-like format which was the EDL for the rough cut of my 1 minute short film. When the person receives the EDL, they double click then the footage will appear rebuilt on Final Cut Pro so that they can augment it.
