Exporting Your Video Timeline

Ciaro lets you continue post-production work outside the app by exporting your assembled timeline for professional editing tools.

Common export formats

  • EDL (Edit Decision List): commonly used with DaVinci Resolve, Avid, and other NLE workflows
  • XML: commonly used for Adobe Premiere Pro and related editing workflows

Typical export workflow

  1. Open the Video tab
  2. Click Export
  3. Choose the format you need
  4. Download the export file
  5. Import it into your editing software

Companion apps and integrations

Ciaro also supports companion workflows for major editing tools.

Adobe Premiere Pro panel

Ciaro Pro for Premiere is the official UXP panel for Adobe Premiere Pro 26.3 or newer.

Install from Adobe Exchange, then in Premiere open Window → UXP Plugins → Ciaro Pro and select Log in.

In Ciaro, the same card is under Account → Integrations.

The panel syncs story media into Premiere bins, generates image, video, and audio inside Premiere, and can sync sequences from the Sync card (Update Premiere, Update Ciaro). It does not replace this EDL/XML export. Sequence sync shows a Premiere-compatible subset in the Ciaro Video tab and does not auto-detect unsynced Premiere-side edits — use Check again after switching sequences.

See Ciaro Pro for Premiere for the panel workflow.

DaVinci Resolve plugin

Ciaro also has a DaVinci Resolve plugin that lets you sync your Ciaro Pro projects and timelines directly with DaVinci Resolve.

The plugin can be downloaded from Account → Integrations.

Practical tip

After importing an exported timeline into another editor, you may still need to relink media files depending on the tool and your local file paths.

If you want a tighter workflow with Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, check the companion app options before relying only on manual export and relink.
