A computer-based system for generating a video edit decision list, which tabulates video editing events and video synchronization points corresponding to the video editing events. The invention accepts a sequence of video and audio manipulations produced by a digital video editing system, each manipulation effecting a particular video editing event, and generates, based on the manipulation sequence, a list of video editing events and corresponding synchronization points. The invention then conforms the list to a user-specified format selected from a plurality of video edit decision list format templates, provided by the system, which each specify a model for defining video editing events distinctly in that format, and then the video edit decision list is output in the user-specified format. The invention is adapted to also convert a video edit decision list from a first format to a second, user-specified format; and further is adapted to generate a sequence of video and audio manipulations to be used by a digital video editor for editing a video, based on a video edit decision list.
