8.6 Conforming Mode – The Conforming Controls
The conforming controls offer you various sophisticated functions to
process EDLs.
Figure 8-23: The conforming controls
Via the conforming controls you can, for example, import EDLs, change
the viewing settings of the work area or modify imported EDLs. They
will be described in this section.
8.6.1 The Edit Controls
In the following you can find descriptions of the controls that allow you
to edit EDLs more generally.

Load…
This button allows you to import an EDL or cut list into the Edit Tool. It
performs the same operation as, for example, the Add EDL… menu
option of the menu Project. The complete procedure is in detail de-
scribed in section “Importing and Adding EDLs” on page 8-6.
Close…
This button closes an imported EDL. Afterwards it will be removed (de-
leted) from the Edit Tool, i.e. from the bin as well as from the conform-
ing mode. In case it was built up in the timeline, you will be asked
whether the clips should be removed from the timeline as well. If this is
denied, the EDL folders in the bin will be changed to standard bin fold-
ers and the EDL clips in the timeline will be converted to standard clips.
