CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
The above mentioned methods to start an autoconforming will be de-
scribed in the following. Right after one of them is performed, you have
to configure and afterwards start the autoconforming which will also be
explained in this section.
Conforming an EDL Manually
As soon as an EDL is available in the Edit Tool the conforming process
can be started at any time with the conforming mode of the control ar-
ea:
y To start the conforming process activate the conforming
mode with its respective button of the control area’s
controls (see section “Controls” on page 5-11).
y If not already selected select the EDL either in the bin or on the tab
EDLs of the work area of the conforming mode (see section “Con-
forming Mode – The Work Area” on page 8-27).
y Then press from the controls of the conforming mode the button
AUTOCONFORM… (see section “Autoconform…” on page 8-49).
After this the window to configure the autoconforming will be dis-
played on the screen. Then you can continue the conforming as de-
scribed in section “Configuring the Autoconforming” on page 8-15.
Conforming an EDL Automatically after its Build-up in the
Timeline
When an EDL with unconformed events is built up in the timeline, an
autoconforming can be performed immediately afterwards:
y For this just click the OK button in the message window that will be
displayed after an EDL is built up in the timeline (see section “Build-
ing up a Timeline” on page 8-9).
This way to start an autoconforming can always be used,
meaning it can be used for conformed/unconformed EDLs or
EDLs already built up in the timeline.
The following can also be performed via the menu option Au-
toconform… on the context menu of an EDL in the timeline
(see section “Working with EDLs from the Timeline” on
page 8-22).
