A failing of the conforming may happen because of a number of rea-
sons and how to avoid the most common ones is detailed in section
“Important Notes” on page 8-3. You have to make sure that these are
observed properly.
However, if the failing of the autoconforming cannot be resolved, you
can adjust the conforming, for instance, by trying another linking meth-
od or by editing the events of the EDL.
In case you want to apply another linking method you can work in the
timeline directly. Clips that could not be found will be indicated by the
DVS software with the standard substitution image (see section “Con-
sistencies of Clips” on page 6-63). Then you can start another autocon-
forming for these clips via the menu option Autoconform…, for
example, by selecting a different conforming method (see section
“Working with EDLs from the Timeline” on page 8-22).
As well, you can initiate an autoconforming and, moreover, edit the
events of the EDL with the conforming mode of the Edit Tool. There
you can, for instance, define offsets or change the source in- and out-
points so that the EDL matches the material on the storage. For further
information about this see section “The Conforming Mode in General”
on page 8-25.
If, no matter what, a conforming persistently fails for certain
events, they can be manually referenced to source material by
relinking them (see section “Relinking Clips” on page 6-58).
However, then no new bin clip will be created, but the proper-
ties of this event will be changed.
