8.4 The Conforming Mode in General
All tasks that have been described so far in this chapter can be per-
formed directly with the conforming mode of the Edit Tool. With it you
can, for instance, import EDLs, build them up in the timeline or auto-
conform them. Furthermore, already conformed EDLs can be evaluated
and processed further.
The conforming mode can be activated with its respective
button from the controls in the control area of the Edit Tool
(see section “Controls” on page 5-11). The control area will then
switch to the conforming mode:

If a conformed EDL is already available in the timeline, its clips will be
especially color coded:

With this you can grasp the status of a conforming immediately:
standard clip
color
The clip does not belong to an EDL. It is a normal clip
available in one of the standard folders of the bin.
blue The clip is already conformed and linked to data on
a storage.
