Once you’ve organized subfolders of clips in this way, you can use “Reconform From Folders” to select
which subfolders you want to conform to the current session. Keep in mind that for this to work, the
replacement media that you’re adding to these subfolders must have identical timecode and reel names
to the media that it’s meant to replace. If the timecode doesn’t match, you’ll need to manually replace
the clip in the timeline.
To reconform the clips in a sequence to specific clips within Media Pool subfolders:
1. Right-click anywhere in the Timeline, and choose Reconform From Folders from the
contextual menu.
A folders list dialog appears, with the Root folder displayed.
2. Click the plus (+) to the right of the Root folder to reveal all the subfolders
contained within.
3. Turn on the checkboxes for the subfolders with media you want to conform the
session to, and turn off the checkboxes for subfolders with outdated media that you
want to ignore.
4. Click Apply
The Timeline is automatically updated to conform to the media contained within all
the subfolders you checked.
When you use “Reconform From Folders,” and two versions of a clip are both in selected folders, you’ll
have a reel conflict in the Timeline. By default, the clip that was most recently added to the Media Pool
is used by default, but you may want to manually resolve the reel conflicts just to be sure that you’re
using the correct version.
