The Conforming Tool

source material will be combined (consolidated) and captured as a sin-

gle clip. The tolerance can be entered in the entry field to the right ei-

ther in frames or timecode notation which can be switched with the

combo box to the left. The button PREVIEW… allows you to view the

consolidation. It opens the following window:

Figure 8-37: Previewing consolidated clips

In this window the consolidated clips are shown.

Either by selecting an entry from the combo box at the top or by using

the buttons to the right ( ) you can step through the de-

tected consolidated clips. In the table you can see for each consolidated

clip the events of the EDL whose source material will only be captured

once. Via the entry field at the bottom of the window a new name can

be specified for the displayed consolidated clip. Once confirmed with

the button OK, the source material of the EDL events shown in this

window will be captured with the specified names and linked to the

EDL events right after capturing.

With the check box Capturing order sorted by activated you can de-

termine the sequence in which the clips should be captured. If you are

capturing from an externally connected VTR, it is recommended to sort

the capturing in C-mode to avoid cueing times of the VTR (default set-

ting). Select from the combo boxes the column headings (tab EDL

Clips) that the batch list should be sorted by. The batch list will be sort-

ed in the specified sequence from top to bottom (e.g. first by reel

names, then by source inpoint). With the button + ( ) you can add ad-

ditional combo boxes for further sorting criteria. With the - button(s)

( ) you can remove a combo box from the sorting order list. In case

Only those events will be displayed that have been set to VTR

and are selected by the current setting of the item Apply to

(see below).
