Which document lists clip start and end times used by non-linear editors?

• A. Edit Bay
• B. Frame
• C. Dub
• D. EDL

Answer: (D)

An Edit Decision List is the document that lists the exact in and out points for each source clip in a sequence. This timing data lets a non-linear editor reconstruct the timeline precisely, transfer edits between systems, or conform offline edits to a final online. The EDL itself isn’t media; it’s a portable record of which parts of which clips were used and when. Other terms refer to the editing space, a unit of time, or media copies, not to a timing-based edit record.
