OK button.
This will start the import process. When finished, the selected and con-
figured EDL can be found in the folder area of the bin with the clips of
the EDL already sorted into reel subfolders. Of course, as long as no
conforming has been made, the clips are marked as pending clips with-
out thumbnail preview (see section “Details about Clips” on
page 4-10). By repeating the described steps above you can add as
many EDLs to your project as you want.

Once an EDL is available in the bin, you can start a conforming process
at any time (see section “Conforming” on page 8-13), build up a time-
line of the EDL in the Edit Tool (see section “Building up a Timeline” on
page 8-9) or process it further with the conforming mode of the Edit
Tool (see section “The Conforming Mode in General” on page 8-25).
8.2.2 Building up a Timeline
Normally, the goal of a conforming process is to have a timeline of the
imported EDL properly conformed in the timeline tracks of the Edit
Tool, ready for further processing. For this you have to build up a time-
line of the EDL in the timeline area of the Edit Tool:
y Select the EDL in the folder area of the bin and drag and drop it
with the mouse into a video/audio track of the timeline area. It can
be dropped anywhere you want.
A timeline of the EDL can also be built up with the button

“Conforming Mode – The Conforming Controls” on
page 8-40).
