Hi I'm an Editor currently living in South Africa, I'm working on a development project with young filmmakers in Zambia. They have already shot and edited their short film on a Casablanca. They're now sending the project to me, so I can neaten up their edit, and re-work it on my Final Cut Pro. Apparently there is no way to export an EDL on a Casablanca, is this true? And if so, is there any way to export an XML, so I can import it as a batch list on my side. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kaz,

The Cassie line is designed as a stand alone editor with a low learning curve.

Recent models and operating systems have been moving towards more comprehensive interaction with PC/Mac tools, but none of them have EDL/XML paths.

For long distance interaction there is a software titled Disk Transfer that allows PC/Mac compatible AVI burning to DVD with a twenty minute approximate capacity on a DVD.

This requires a model with a built in DVD burner (all but the most basic and oldest model, Avio has a DVD burner) and the optional Disk Transfer software.

Exporting to digital tape would be the other choice.

The systems use Storyboard editing rather than the more common Timeline editing that most PC/Mac based video editors use.
