ReconformIntroductionReconform enables tracks in an existing project to be conformed to take account of changes in the picture edit.Reconform > Relink to new Media can be used to link to new Media files when new Cues without previouslyassociated Media files are produced by the Reconform.In Pyramix there are three routes to Reconforming. The first two make use of a so-called Change EDL. This EDL is astandard CMX EDL generated from a “State 1 EDL” and a “State 2 EDL”.In the first case, CMX Reconform, the change EDL is generated by a third party application. This may be the videoediting software, or a specialised EDL manager.Please see: Reconform Using Pyramix with an Existing Change EDL below.Where there is no existing Change EDL there are two possibilites:For users with Pyramix and access to both the original and modified video EDLs Pyramix can load the original picture(Version1 if not already part of the project) plus the new picture (Version2) and generate the necessarychanges from these.Please see: Reconforming Using Pyramix for Picture Change Detection on page 359For users running VCube as well as Pyramix, VCube can be used to generate a Change EDL from the original(Version1) and revised (Version2) EDLs.Please see Reconforming Using VCube for Picture Change Detection on page 367Reconforming with an Existing Change EDLThe Reconform function allows picture edit changes to be applied to a project by loading a so-called “ChangeEDL”. The Reconform function rearranges Cues within the current project where necessary to reflect the changefrom State 1 to State 2 by creating edits on all tracks of the project using the original material as sources and placingthem to the new destination TimeCodes.Step 1With the Pyramix project you wish to conform open in Pyramix select:Project > Reconform > Load Change EDL & ReconformProject Menu - Reconform Sub-menuConforming and Reconforming : Reconform 20 - 355
