AUTOCONFORM.

about its status. When finished, you may receive log messages inform-
ing you about the success of the conforming (see section “Evaluation
and Further Processing of the Conforming” on page 8-18).
8.2.4 Evaluation and Further Processing of the Conforming
After an autoconforming is finished, you may receive log messages
which will inform you about clips where problems were detected during
the conforming. The following provides information how to resolve
them.
Still, regardless of the state of an EDL and its clips (conformed or un-
conformed), as soon as it is built up in the timeline you can use the Edit
Tool as usual and work on the timeline. Then you can, for example, add
other ’standard’ clips to the timeline or change the clips of the EDL as
Render speed
effects
Speed effects that an EDL may provide can be
processed by the conforming tool as well. They
have to be rendered during the conforming,
meaning image files may be omitted or created
anew according to the specified speed. This
setting can be activated or deactivated with the
check box to the left. When activated, you can
enter the location where the files of the speed
effects should be saved in the entry field direct-
ly or use the button to the right of this field ( )
to select one. If no location is set, the speed ef-
fects’ files will be stored in a subfolder at the lo-
cation of the original clip.
Apply to This setting allows you to limit the procedure.
You can perform it either on all clips of an EDL
or on a selection of reels/clips. A selection can
be specified either when the EDL is available in
the timeline (see section “Working with EDLs
from the Timeline” on page 8-22) or in the
conforming mode (see section “The Conform-
ing Mode in General” on page 8-25).
If the respective EDL is not already available in the timeline,
you should add it right now as described in section “Building
up a Timeline” on page 8-9.
