Media Pool Clips
The Media Pool Clips display shows each clip with its name, reel number, start and end timecode, start
and end frame number, actual number of frames, the date the file was modified, its resolution and bit
depth, and the file name itself, identifies the type of file. The last two columns are PAR (Pixel Aspect
Ratio) and Start KeyKode. Not all files are from film scans, and even then not all have KeyKode, so this
column may be blank.
You will also notice a column labeled Usage. This column will display how many times a clip is used
within the EDL. After you have loaded the EDL on the Conform screen, you must right click over this
windowand select‘UpdateInformation’ for the Usageinformationtobe valid. While thismayseem
redundant, it does allow you to verify that all the clips in the Media Pool, and thus, the master Session
timeline, actually need to be there and can therefore, reduce the render and playout time if you are
