force conform is driving me crazy

[Peter Chamberlain]

Hi Michael, I think I need a little more info. Its sounding like all your VFX shots have timecode starting at 00:00:00:00 and so does the new clip. When you place the new clip in the Media Pool you have conflicts with all the other 00 clips, and this shows in the Conform page.

Resolve applies color correction to clips based on the master timeline timecode so you should establish a workflow that generates unique T/C for all clips. You can use reel names, file paths and even comments from within an EDL. At our post house here we make sure all source clips are unique in some way.

If I have the wrong understanding of what you are doing please provide a little more detail

Hi Peter

the VFX shots I’m getting are indeed with conflicting TC. I understand that there will be conflicts on this project I have to accept that – what I want to do is turn off the new functionality and revert to the conflict and resolution method of v7.

The problem I have now is Resolve guesses wrong with Force Conform Enabled checked in the clip – i uncheck it, the reconform as per v7 (for all my vfx clips) then the next day I bring another vfx shot into the pool and it force conforms onto all the vfx in the timeline as the force conform check box has reticked itself.

I’d love to be able to turn this feature off globally and for it to stay off as it is costing me hours. I’m loving the reconform from media pool feature though

Thanks
Mike

Hi Michael,

The problem here is that you are using the “reconform from folders” option. When you do this Resolve loses the history of your previous conflict selections, etc.

Can you explain why you are using this function? Are you adding new folders in the media pool?

If you are just adding a new VFX shot, it should not affect anything, and you will just get it as one of the conflict options.

I don’t think this has anything to do with the “Force Conform” function as far as I can tell.

Regards,
Rohit

I’m in the same boat. New VFX shot replaced other shots with same TC on few timelines. I’m not using “reconform from folders”, i’m just adding new shot to Media Pool. Is it possible to disable “Force Conform” option completely (its checked off but still affect my timelines)? Padlock icon isn’t helpful too.
