EDL Spy - Consolidate media files the right way! In short, EDLSpy lets you: extract files from EDL, copy files from EDL, extract files from XML, copy files from XML, copy files from Media Summary, copy r3d files, copy r3d folders, and more!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can EDL Spy copy R3D folders?
A: Yes, EDL Spy can copy RED folders on your harddrive, using the file names from an EDL, XML or other list.
Q: Can EDL Spy copy image sequences?
A: Yes, EDL Spy can copy file sequences. Note that it is best to have each clip's image sequence in its own folder (like when recording ARRIRAW sequences) and that the folder name is the same as the clip name in your EDL. Then EDL Spy can just consolidate the clip folders.
Q: Is EDL Spy easy to use?
A: Yes. There are built-in search presets, that make using EDL Spy quick and easy. Currently there are presets for CMX3600 and FILE32 EDLs, as well as XML files. The presets can also easily be modified, to suit your needs. If you have a very special or complex use-case, you can also get deep into setting search parameters manually.
Q: Can EDL Spy help us with our specific media consolidation need?
A: Most probably, yes. Feel free to contact me with your specific use-case and I'll tell you how to set up EDL Spy or include a quick-preset for your workflow. You can also send me EDL or XML files for testing.
Q: Can EDL Spy search multiple drives?
A: Yes. This was the top feature request and since version 0.7.3 you can add more than one search path.
