Chapter 46
Preparing
Timelines for
Import and
Comparison
Generally speaking, “conforming” a project describes the process of
importing a project exchange file from another post-production
application, and automatically relinking each clip in the imported timeline
to the high-quality media files each clip corresponds to.
If you need to continue editing, color correct, or finish a project that was
put together in another application, you can import via the EDL, AAF, or
XML project exchange formats. When you go through the process of
conforming a project, you use the imported project data to arrange the
clips in the Media Pool into a timeline that constitutes the program that’s
about to be graded.
This chapter walks you through the process of preparing timelines in
otherapplications prior to moving them into DaVinci Resolve and covers
which effects have counterparts in the DaVinci Resolve timeline. It ends
with instructions on how to set up to compare a reference movie to
theTimeline.
