User Manual

Once you’ve selected the appropriate render settings and window burn options, you can output
one or several versions of the media, to accommodate jobs where you need to provide several
media deliverables. For more information on setting up and using the Deliver page, see Chapter
165, “Using the Deliver Page.”
Step 5–Reconform Media to an EDL,
AAF, or XML Project File
Once the offline media you’ve delivered has been edited in whichever NLE is used for the
project, it’s simple to reimport the edited project via an AAF, XML, or EDL file, depending on
which is most suitable to your application. This edit data can be used to reconform the original
media that you imported into the Media Pool, so that you immediately have access to whatever
graded adjustments you made to create the offline media, as applied to the source media.
Importing AAF, XML, or EDL files in the Edit page creates new timelines, and you can import
multiple subsequent Timelines to accommodate changes that have been made to the edit, if
you find yourself grading a project that is in progress editorially. In fact, depending on how you
set up your grades, you can use remote versions which will automatically ripple to follow each
clip when you import a re-edited version of the program as a new timeline, saving you from
having to recreate your work. For more information on using remote versions, see Chapter 123,
“Grade Management.”
Step 6–Output Final Media for Finishing
Once you’re finished with your final grade, you’ll again use the controls of the Deliver page to
render the program’s final media, either as individual clips for a round-trip workflow, or as a
single media file or image sequence for delivery as a digital master.
