Mix Conforming

Provides functions for making mixes conform to film edits.

Move

Used to move part of the current mix, creating a new conformed mix/pass.

All automation events for the selected paths are moved.

Move first cuts the section out of the mix and then inserts it at the destination time (e.g. Scene 2 has been

relocated to appear after Scene 3 and as the picture and sound for this edit are conformed the automation is

conformed to match).

Delete

Deletes automation events from the current mix, creating a new conformed mix/pass.

All information including fader moves, events and mutes is deleted.

The Delete operation changes the timecodes on events following the removed section so that the new mix has

no gaps.

Insert Stock

Inserts a blank space into the current mix, creating a new, conformed mix/pass.

Used for example when a new scene is added to a film (during this space/time all faders, events and mutes have

the same initial settings as the start of the inserted time).

ä To force the Label List to follow the conform operation click the Conform Labels checkbox so that an X is

displayed.

That when this is done, the previous Mix/Passes will no longer match the Label List.

ä To create the new conformed mix click the Conform button.

The Mix Conforming dialogue box will be removed and a confirmation box will appear to indicate a new

Mix/Pass has been created. The new Mix/Pass will be shown as the Play Pass on the main Encore screen.

Extract Path Data

This is used to select part of the current Play Mix/Pass and create a new Mix/Pass.

This is useful, for instance, for extracting a scene (or a short sequence of scenes) to concentrate on that

particular part of a Mix. The extracted section can then be merged to combine it with other completed work.

Set Offset

This is used to offset the automation system from the incoming timecode.

To set a Mix Offset click on Set Offset in the Automation Menu.

The Mix Offset dialogue box will be displayed.

Change the timecode manually or use a preset (A to F) and click the Advance Automation or Retard

Automation dialogue box as required.
