However, if the criteria you’ve selected to control the conform doesn’t match, the Reconform
From Bins operation will fail, and you’ll need to either try again with other conform criteria, or
manually replace the necessary clips in the Timeline.
Here’s a step by step workflow.
To reconform a timeline to clips within a specific Media Pool bin:
1 Double-click the Timeline you want to reconform to open it.
2 Either select the specific clips you want to reconform, or press Command-A to select
every clip in the Timeline if you want to reconform clips throughout the entire timeline
without having to make individual selections.
3 Right-click one of the selected clips, and choose “Conform Lock Enabled” to disable
Conform Lock Enabled for the clips you want to reconform. This frees DaVinci Resolve
to consider all possible conform matches for those clips in cases where there may be
multiple clips with overlapping timecode in the Media Pool.
4 Right-click the current Timeline in the Media Pool, and choose Timelines > Reconform
From Bins. The Conform Options dialog appears, with Timeline Options and Choose
Conform Bins list to the left, and the Conform Options panel to the right.
5 From the Timeline Options section, choose whether you want to conform to All Clips
or just to Selected Clips. Then, choose whether you want to “Set clips to Conform Lock
Enabled” after conform.
Choosing which clips in the Timeline to attempt to reconform
6 In the Choose Conform Bins section, click the disclosure triangle to the left of the
Master bin to reveal the sub-bins contained within.
7 Turn on the checkboxes for the bins with media you want to conform the Timeline to,
and turn off the checkboxes for bins with media that you want to ignore.
Selecting folders for reconform
8 Next, choose the conform options you want to be considered when matching timeline
clips to Media Pool clips in the selected bins. By default, Timecode is enabled.
Choose additional criteria to be even more selective about how you want clips to be
reconformed, or choose different criteria if you need to use other metadata to get
better results for clips you’re having a hard time conforming.
