444 Chapter 18 Using Conform with Final Cut Pro
Reviewing and Approving the Changes
in the Conform Result Project
Once you have a Conform worklist, you can inspect the changes, reviewing the
playback in the original, updated or result projects, and can change and accept choices
for each clip individually or multiple clips or groups of clips all at once. The goal is to
walk through the changes made to generate the result project and verify that all the
clips have been moved into the correct positions, and that the correct choices have
been made to satisfy the artistic goals for the audio mix. At any time, you are free to
accept all the changes made by Soundtrack Pro and finish the conform process.
Filtering Out Unchanged Clips
For many clips, the Position/Duration and Media may be unchanged (the clips were the
same in both versions of the project). These show up as “Not Changed” in the Conform
worklist. It can be useful to filter out all the Unchanged clips, so that you can
concentrate on reviewing the clips that actually moved or had media changes.
To filter out unchanged clips from the Conform worklist:
m Select the Hide Unchanged checkbox.
Unchanged clips are removed from the worklist. Only clips that have changed remain
in the worklist.
Using the Project Selector Buttons
Use the Project Selector buttons to select one of three projects to appear in the main
multitrack Timeline. This is helpful if you want to go back to your sound edit (the
“original” project) to quickly see where a clip or group of clips was, then go to the result
project and preview those same clips to verify that they correctly match the picture. By
default, once the Conform process starts, the multitrack Timeline will show the untitled
result project, ready for you to review each clip or group of clips in the worklist.
Select Hide Unchanged.
