Cannot force conform
Hi guys,
obviously I have a problem and I’m wondering if you could help me. Here it goes:I have a 44min edit in FCP7. All media is 1080i29.97 in XDCAM EX 35mbps and ProRes 422. I take this timeline, keep only the two tracks with the video, collapse the multiclips, make clips independant and export an XML.
In Resolve 8.1.1 I import the XML and ask it to import its media itself. It take a while but when it’s done I get a nice timeline with only 1 clip out of 30 that didn’t conform. So from there I have 2 problems:
1- clip with “CONFLICTS” give me only one clip to choose and it’s not the clip I’m looking for.
2-When I try to force conform it won’t do it. I select the clip in the Media Pool, I right clic the clip in the timeline and activate “Force conform enabled” but the “force conform” option stays greyed out.Any clue on what it is?

In the Conform tab, when you park your cursor on the problem clip, check what the EDL says for that clip (lower-left corner of conform tab) regarding the TC and REEL info it’s looking for. Then cross check that with the correct clip’s info in the media pool. Sometimes things get messed up, it may be easier if you just manually cut the correct clip into your session.

Could it be that the file names are too long? Name in the “conform EDL” don’t match the clip.

Ok, it’s a FCP multiclip problem. The clips missing are part of multiclips that are way longer they they are (ex: a 2min clip in a 15min multiclip). So even if I collapse the XML tells Resolve it want a 15min clip but the clip in the media pool is just 2min.
All you have to do is create a MEDIA OFFLINE of your sequence with the Media Manager. Then export the XML form this new timeline.

you probably would want to split this 44 minutes to half of it.
people have reported having problems when one timeline is longer than 20 minutes witch is the recommended length. me not be the case with your project but just be aware.
