PostConform
EDL Import/Auto-Conform Software for Pro Tools

PostConform^TM, the Digidesign Edit Decision List (EDL) import/autoconform software for Pro Tools systems, enables automatic capture and spotting of audio elements to picture. With PostConform, the time-consuming process of loading and conforming field audio and other audio elements can be accomplished automatically, greatly increasing your productivity.

These EDLs specify where to place specific sound elements within the program. PostConform automates the process of assembling an EDL into a Pro Tools session file, first by importing and sorting the EDL. Then, the user can select all or only certain source elements for loading and can specify additional record handles for future editing flexibility.

At this point, the autoconform process begins. PostConform prompts the user to load successive source reels into a remotely-controlled deck. Using MachineControl^TM, PostConform automatically locates and records the sound elements selected by the user and assembles these elements into their proper position in the program, as specified by the EDL. If the picture editor makes changes to the program, PostConform can re-conform the loaded sound elements to a new EDL.
