Editorial Toolkit is a free, local-first utility for editors and post teams. Paste or drop a cut and convert it between CMX3600 EDL, OpenTimelineIO and FCPXML (Final Cut / DaVinci Resolve), do drop-frame timecode maths, or list every event. Everything runs on your machine.
The small, fiddly editorial tasks that block a handoff - format conversion, timecode maths, and reading what's actually in a cut - done instantly and privately.
Drop in a cut in one format and export it in another. The input is auto-detected, so you never pick the wrong parser.
Frames to timecode and back, plus timecode addition and subtraction - with correct drop-frame handling so the maths matches your NLE.
See every video event in a loaded cut at a glance - clip name, record position and duration - to sanity-check a turnover before you pass it on.
Each format has its own parser and writer, so events, clip names and record timing survive the round trip. Convert an FCPXML from Resolve into an EDL for an online session, or an EDL into OTIO for a Python pipeline.
29.97 and 59.94 drop-frame timecode is where hand-maths goes wrong. The calculator applies the correct dropped-frame rule for both conversion and arithmetic, matching what your editor and delivery spec expect.
Paste a turnover and immediately see the event count, clip names and durations - a fast gut-check that the cut you received is the cut you expected before anyone conforms it.
Editorial Toolkit is a PWA: install it and it keeps working on a plane or in a machine room with no network. Because it never needed a server, offline is just the default.
Paste an EDL, .otio or FCPXML, or load a file. The format is detected automatically.
Pick a target format to convert to, or use the timecode calculator and cut inspector.
Copy the output or download the converted file. It never left your browser.
There is no server to send your work to. All parsing, conversion and timecode maths run as plain JavaScript in your browser. Your cuts, filenames and timecodes stay on your device - which is exactly what you want when the timeline is under NDA.
Editorial Toolkit converts and inspects one cut. Cutlist Tracker turns the imported cut into a live shot list: one-click conform check against your renders, cut-diff / turnover between versions, a per-department matrix, and a delivery manifest - for 2-10 person VFX and post teams. Same formats you already use here.
