# Assembling Multiple EDLs

If you have multiple EDLs, you can use Multi-assemble mode to combine all the EDLs into a multitrack. You can also use Multi-assemble mode to create a multilayer clip for vertical editing. When you multi-assemble EDLs, you select the EDLs in the order in which you want them to appear in the multitrack.

To multi-assemble clips:

1. In the Import EDL menu, load all the EDLs that you want to multi-assemble.
2. In the Assemble box, select and click M-Assemble.

   The Multi-Assemble menu appears.

3. Select EDLs in the order that you want them to appear in the multitrack by clicking the Track column.
4. If you want to create a multilayer clip for vertical editing, you can change the layer assignment by clicking the Layer column.

   You may need to deselect some entries, depending on the track to which you are trying to add additional layers.

5. Enter the name for the assembled clip in the Name field.
6. Specify the destination library reel.
7. Click Assemble Selected EDLs.

   The assembled clip is created in the clip library.
