Selecting criteria to guide the reconform
TIP: Choosing Custom from the top of the pop-up menu for File Extensions,
File Format, and Codec displays editable fields into which you can enter
multiple options, separated by commas, in order to list multiple possibilities for
a successful match. The order in which you enter these is important, as
DaVinci Resolve will attempt to conform clips starting with the first format/
codec at the left, moving to try the next format/codec to the right if no match is
found, until every entry in your list has been tried.
8 Click OK. Where possible, the Timeline is automatically updated to conform to the
media in the directory you selected, and all source media files that were conformed
have been imported into the Media Pool.
9 After you’ve used “Reconform From Media Storage Folders,” any timeline clips that
have been reconformed and that now have timecode and reel names/file names that
match two or more source clips in the Media Pool will display a clip conflict badge in
the Timeline. To eliminate this badge, you can select either just the clips that were
conformed, or all clips in the Timeline, right-click them, and choose Conform Lock
Enabled to eliminate these warnings.
