463 The edit decision list (EDL) system allows you to automatically skip | |

465 EDL configuration file. | |

469 This is useful for those who may want to watch a film in "family-friendly" | |
470 mode. You can cut out any violence, profanity, Jar-Jar Binks .. from a movie | |
471 according to your own personal preferences. Aside from this, there are other | |
472 uses, like automatically skipping over commercials in video files you watch. | |

494 [begin second] [end second] [action] | |
495 </programlisting> | |
496 Where the seconds are floating-point numbers and the action is either | |
497 <literal>0</literal> for skip or <literal>1</literal> for mute. Example: | |
498 <programlisting> | |
499 5.3 7.1 0 | |
500 15 16.7 1 | |
501 420 422 0 | |
502 </programlisting> | |
503 This will skip from second 5.3 to second 7.1 of the video, then mute at | |
504 15 seconds, unmute at 16.7 seconds and skip from second 420 to second 422 | |
505 of the video. These actions will be performed when the playback timer | |
506 reaches the times given in the file. | |
507 </para> | |
508 | |
509 <para> | |
510 To create an EDL file to work from, use the <option>-edlout <filename></option> | |
18912 | 511 flag. During playback, just hit <keycap>i</keycap> to mark the beginning and |
512 end of a skip block. A corresponding entry will be written to the file for | |
513 that time. You can then go back and fine-tune the generated EDL file as well as | |
514 change the default operation which is to skip the block described by each line. | |
