Click OK.
A new XML project file is created, and the clips within are automatically linked to the
media directory specified in the project settings tab in the Setup room.
Note: If you haven’t exported rendered media from your Color project yet, then the
XML file is linked to the original project media.
Reconforming Projects
If your project was imported from an XML or EDL generated by Final Cut Pro, you have
the option of automatically reconforming your Color project to match any editorial
changes made to the original Final Cut Pro sequence, saving you hours of tedious labor.
To reconform an XML-based Color project:
1
Export an updated XML file of the reedited Final Cut Pro sequence from Final Cut Pro.
2
Open the Color project you need to update, then choose File > Reconform.
3
Select the XML file that was exported in step 1 using the Reconform XML dialog, then
click Load.
The shots in the Timeline should update to reflect the imported changes, and the
Reconform column in the Shots browser is updated with the status of every shot that
was affected by the reconform operation.
You can also reconform projects that were originally imported using EDLs.
To reconform an EDL-based Color project:
1
Export an updated EDL of the reedited sequence from the originating application.
2
Open the Color project you need to update, then choose File > Reconform.
3
Select the EDL file that was exported in step 1 using the Reconform dialog, then click
Load.
As when you reconform an XML based project, the Reconform column in the Shots
browser in the Setup room is updated with the status of each shot that’s been
modified by the reconform operation. This lets you identify shots that might need
readjustment as a result of such changes, sorting them by type for fast navigation. For
