You can edit any of the following columns, unless the track containing the segment is locked. You edit most
of these fields directly in the events list, unless otherwise noted. And modifications to the timeline updates
the Events list, so slipping a segment updates its Handles in the Events list.
Event # Only EDLs specify a Event number value, for reference. Or you can set manually an Event number,
if needed, as this data can be used as a number for Publish.
Segment # A sequential index (from 1) indicating the relative position of each segment; gaps are not indexed
unless they have a Timeline FX applied. You cannot edit this field directly, but changing the position of the
segment in the timeline updates this
Media Displays the segment's track. You can only edit the audio tracks, for audio patching, using either the
calculator (click the field), or by click-drag.
Tape Tape name if present in the imported sequence file.
Source In and Source Out You can edit these fields using either the calculator (click the field), or by
click-drag.
■ If the selected segment is unlinked, you can edit Source In and Source Out without affecting the head
& tail. Use his to fix source timecode issues in AAF and XML sequences.
■ If the selected segment is linked, the modifications are interactive and similar to a slip: heads & tails are
updated based on the linked media. In this case, you cannot change the timecode outside of the media
boundaries.
Name The name of the segment.
Shot Name A freeform field.
Comment The contents can come from a variety of sources, but in an EDL conform this field contains
additional conform instructions.
File Location The path to the referenced file.
File Name The file name, without the extension. When you import a sequence, a file's name is broken in
two: the name in the File Name column, the extension in the File Type. To edit the extension, you edit the
File Type column.
File Type The file extension, to edit if the referenced files were actually transcoded to a different format.
Bulk Editing in Conform
You can edit each field one at the time. But sometimes you need to update multiple file paths (because the
files are not where the XML says they are), change the start timecode of a multiple sources.
Bulk editing multiple file locations:
1 Shift-click or Ctrl-click segments to select the ones that need their file location to be updated.
2 Click any one of the selected file location.
