Usage

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
oximedia-edl = "0.1.8"

use oximedia_edl::{parse_edl, Edl};

let edl_text = r#"
TITLE: Example EDL
FCM: DROP FRAME

001  AX       V     C        01:00:00:00 01:00:05:00 01:00:00:00 01:00:05:00
* FROM CLIP NAME: shot001.mov
"#;

let edl = parse_edl(edl_text)?;
assert_eq!(edl.title, Some("Example EDL".to_string()));

use oximedia_edl::{Edl, EdlFormat, EdlGenerator};

let mut edl = Edl::new(EdlFormat::Cmx3600);
edl.set_title("My EDL".to_string());
edl.set_frame_rate(oximedia_edl::timecode::EdlFrameRate::Fps25);

let generator = EdlGenerator::new();
let output = generator.generate(&edl)?;
