EDL file and CSV spreadsheet, explained

An EDL (Edit Decision List) is a plain-text record of every cut in a sequence, exported by Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. CSV makes that data easy to sort, audit, and share — ideal for conform prep, VFX pulls, music cue sheets, and QC reports.

Turn edit decision lists into tidy, spreadsheet-ready CSV — with clip names, reels, and timecodes intact. It is free to start, runs in your browser, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

Questions, answered

Where are my files processed?

Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and converted on CutConvert’s servers, then handed straight back to you as a download. We never sell or share your media.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Small, everyday batches are free to convert. For large or high-volume jobs you’ll create an account and upgrade — which keeps the free tier fast for everyone.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you simply get that one file — no unnecessary ZIP.

Which formats are supported?

You can convert EDL to CSV, Avid TXT to SRT, TXT and DOCX/DOC-style transcripts to Premiere Pro transcript JSON, and SRT to Avid Media Composer caption TXT or Premiere Pro transcript JSON. More post-production formats are on the way.

Can I pick a frame rate?

Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output you can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, or let CutConvert auto-detect it from your source.
