Adobe Premiere Pro

Premiere Pro imports an EDL directly and places every cut onto a sequence using the timecodes from your Pixelrush session. These steps were last tested with Adobe Premiere Pro 26.2.2 Build 3.

Import an EDL

After exporting an EDL from Pixelrush (see Timeline exports):

1. In Premiere Pro, go to File → Import and select your .edl file.
2. In the EDL Information dialog, select the correct video standard for your project and select OK.
3. In the New Sequence dialog, select a preset or manually configure your sequence settings to match your footage. Confirm the Timebase, then select OK.
4. Premiere creates a new bin containing the sequence and offline clips for each event in the EDL. Right-click the sequence and choose Link Media. Link the source files and continue until all offline clips are linked. Premiere usually finds the remaining clips after the first file is linked.
5. Premiere creates a clip for every EDL event, so repeated source files appear as duplicate project items. To clean up duplicates, choose Edit → Consolidate Duplicates.

Troubleshooting

The sequence is empty after import. The EDL framerate and the import timebase are mismatched. Delete the sequence, re-import the EDL, and set the timebase to match the session's framerate.

Every cut lands the same number of frames off. The Timebase or drop-frame setting in the import dialog doesn't match the session. Re-import with the correct timebase.

For upstream issues (timecode sync, framerate drift, capture problems), see the Troubleshooting guide.
