I am trying to get a very basic EDL to the colorist, but he says he can't use it.  He can see the TC numbers in a text viewer, so he is going to just copy/paste them into his application for now.

This is a sequence with only 1 video track, set to CMX_3600 - only setting I changed was to use the first and last character of the tape name.

I go to "save as" and email it to him and he says it doesn't work.  I don't get it.

That sounds odd. Has always worked for me that way.

if you sent it to him/her via email, it may have become corrupt. though i have never had that happen.
