the older EDL if its duration is within the stated tolerance. Enter the tol-
erance in the entry field to the right either in frames or timecode nota-
tion (which can be switched with the combo box to the left).
Finally, with the button RECONFORM you can automatically conform
the updated EDL on the basis of the already conformed one. Afterward
the updated EDL can be selected in the bin from where it can be used
as usual, e.g. created in the timeline of the Edit Tool.
Remove from TL
This button removes the EDL that is selected in the work area from the
timeline.
Set status to offline
With this button you can set the statuses of the EDL events that are cur-
rently selected on the tab EDL Clips back to ’Offline’ again (see sec-
tion “The Tab ’EDL Clips’” on page 8-31). It will remove already
established linkings to video and/or audio material for the selected
events so that they are unconformed again. Afterwards the events and
their conforming can be adjusted, for example, by altering their in- and
outpoints or by selecting another conforming method.

opens the following window:

When removing an EDL from the timeline observe the in-
sert/overwrite mode: In the insert mode still available contents
of the timeline will be moved appropriately so that the removal
of the EDL causes no gaps in the timeline, while in the over-
write mode the clips will stay at their locations (see also section
“The Insert/Overwrite Mode of the Timeline” on page 6-34).
