The edit decision list (EDL) system allows you to automatically skip
3
3
or mute sections of videos during playback, based on a movie specific
4
4
EDL configuration file.

according to your own personal preferences. Aside from this, there are other
9

uses, like automatically skipping over commercials in video files you watch.

The EDL file format is pretty bare-bones. Once the EDL system has reached a
12
 
certain level of maturity, an XML-based file format will probably be implemented
13
 
(keeping backwards compatibility with previous EDL formats).

The EDL file format is pretty bare-bones. There is one command per line that
 
12
indicates what to do (skip/mute) and when to do it (using pts in seconds).

To create an EDL file to work from, use the <tt class="option">-edlout &lt;filename&gt;</tt>
36
 
flag. During playback, when you want to mark the previous two seconds to skip over,
37
 
hit <span class="keycap"><b>i</b></span>. A corresponding entry will be written to the file for
38
 
that time. You can then go back and fine-tune the generated EDL file.
