If after having imported an FCP XML some segments are still not linked to their media, use the Conform tab to relink both segments and media.
- Display the FCP XML to conform in the Conform tab. Do one of the following:
- If you imported the FCP XML using the MediaHub: switch to the Conform tab, right-click the FCP XML and select Open as a Sequence.
- If you have not already imported the FCP XML: switch to the Conform tab, right-click the Event list and select Load New FCP XML/AAF/EDL.
From the window that appears, locate and select the FCP XML to conform, and then click Load.
- Add potential sources to the Conform Media folder.
You now have two lists: the Events list, displaying all the events making up the sequence, and the Conform Media list, displaying the potential sources you selected.
Note: By default, the Conform Media list displays only the sources matching the currently selected event. Disable to view all the possible sources. - With selected, click a event from the event list. The sources matching that event are displayed in the Potential Matches list. Note: You can also select a segment directly in the timeline. Both the timeline and the event list update to reflect the current selection.
- What you do next depends on the Status column of each event.
Match - Select Link Matched Sources from the Linking combo box. Link Matched Sources links all events with the Match status to their unique sources. Match indicates that Smoke found only one source from the Sources list that fit the selected Match Criteria.
Multiple Matches - Do one of the following:
- Select the event, the source to relink, and then select Link Selected from the Linking combo box.
- Select the event from the event list, right-click the source to relink, and then select Link.
No Match Found - Either add more sources to the Media folder or modify the criteria selected in the Match Criteria drop-down box. Not Found indicates that either the criteria are too restrictive for Smoke to find a match, or that the source is simply not there.
Unlinked - Add sources to the Media folder. Unlinked indicates that the event is not linked to any source. It appears only when no sources are available in the Media folder, and the Conform section of the Media panel displays 0 clip total.
Linked - Nothing to do: the event is already linked to source. Linked events appear in the Events list only if is not enabled.
- Once there all the events are linked to sources, you are done with the conform. You can leave the Conform tab.
