• In the MediaHub tab, once all the clips are imported.
• In the Conform tab, after importing a sequence such as an AAF.
• After a VTR capture, once the clips are written to the Media Panel.
• After a Wire transfer, once the transfer completes.
• In remote access, whenever one of the above operation is performed.
• After an archive restore, as soon as the restore is done.
