TIP: Choosing Custom from the top of the pop-up menu for File Extensions, File Format,
and Codec displays editable fields into which you can enter multiple options, separated
by commas, in order to list multiple possibilities for a successful match. The order in which
you enter these is important, as DaVinci Resolve will attempt to conform clips starting with
the first format/codec at the left, moving to try the next format/codec to the right if no
match is found, until every entry in your list has been tried.
9 Click OK. Where possible, the Timeline is automatically updated to conform to the media
contained within the bins you checked.
10 After you’ve used “Reconform From Bins,” any timeline clips that have been reconformed and that
now have timecode and reel names/file names that match two or more source clips in the Media
Pool will display a clip conflict badge in the Timeline. To eliminate this badge, you can select
either just the clips that were conformed, or all clips in the Timeline, right-click them, and choose
Conform Lock Enabled to eliminate these warnings.
Using Reconform From Media Storage
DaVinci Resolve 14 introduces another reconform method, that lets you conform clips in a timeline to
clips in a specific File System directory (including all subdirectories) using the “Reconform From Media
Storage Folders” command. This allows you to reconform multiple clips in a timeline, all at once, to
matching source media files on disk without having to import those clips to the Media Pool first; all
clips that can be conformed according to the specified conform criteria will be automatically imported
as necessary.
An important aspect of the Reconform From Media Storage command is that DaVinci Resolve will
reconform all timeline clips that can be matched to source media files on disk in the selected Media
Storage directories, but all Timeline clips that cannot be matched are left alone. This makes Reconform
From Media Storage an ideal command to use in the following situations:
– When you need to reconform clips that are found throughout an existing timeline to a smaller
subset of media in a specific directory on disk, such as updated VFX or Motion Graphics from a
third-party application.
– When you need to quickly reconform missing timeline clips throughout an imported timeline,
and especially when you need to use custom conform criteria to successfully reconform those
clips. (Unlinked clips can only be reconformed with this command if you select them and turn off
Conform Lock Enabled first.)
Similar to the Reconform From Bins command, you can specify exactly what combination of conform
criteria you want to use to match clips in the timeline with clips in the Media Pool. This means that
you’re not restricted to only using Timecode, Reel Name, and File Name, you could also use any
combination of Total Duration, Resolution, Bit Depth, Frame Rate, File Format, Codec, and/or Media
UMID/UID to control how clips are conformed, depending on your needs and the problem you
have to solve.
