We have recently seen some ALEs come in from Resolve exports that have strange line endings, preventing Cortex from being able to import them properly using the CDL import feature (Right-Click in Still Store > Import Color from ALE/EDL/CDL…)
Each line is ending with two carriage returns and one linefeed. Usually you would expect to see either a single linefeed with no carriage returns (Mac/*nix style), or a single carriage return plus a linefeed (Windows style)
Using Notepad++ (a very useful free text editor), you can see these special characters by turning on these settings:
View > Show Symbol > Show All Characters
And here’s how you can do a global find/replace to fix the file:
Search Mode: Extended
Find: \r\r\n
Replace: \r\n
