Capture versus Conform
Capture
Searches for source material in specified locations (recursively), trying to
match items referenced in the EDL/AAF composition and pulling them into the
library. In general, whole clips are captured if present (not just the event
duration).
Conform
Links library items with the composition timeline (you may wish to use an EDL
merely to load material into the library (capture only)).
A conform will always attempt to link the latest library material to the
timeline. This means if a later version of a clip is imported or
captured, the conform will link to this new version.
Loading the List
--import <path>
When we perform a capture operation on a list file created composition, we
attempt to match the composition timeline (which reflect the list "events") to
actual source material.
Consider the following EDL:
