Unable to load exported EDL into Vegas Pro

I have exported the project as EDL (from VPX9), but I am now unable to load this file into Vegas pro 15.

Note: it seems VPX does not export CMX-style EDL... but even a CMX-style EDL does not get imported into VegasPro.

Hi,

If you open the EDL file from VPX in a text editor, you will see that it is quite limited. You get a mixed down video file and any individual wav files from other tracks. I can't see any advantage to this unless you are trying to get those individual wav files into Vegas separately. I think that the EDL format was intended to be used with Samplitude, and probably nothing else.
