2. Select Media > Conform Files.
3. Select whether to keep or replace the original unconverted files in the Pool.
• If you select the Replace option, files in the Pool and in the Audio folder of the
project are replaced.
•If any Keep option is selected, original files remain in the Audio folder of the
project and new files are created.

The files are conformed. Clip or event references in the Pool are redirected to the
conformed files.
