Preparing Your EDL
Before diving into Conform Pulls in Content Hub, it's important to follow a few key requirements and best practices to prepare your EDL for upload:
Ensure Compatibility: Your EDL should align with the Tapename and timecode logic visible in your Media Library. This alignment is crucial for locating and trimming your clips to the necessary media.
Optimize Your EDL: For the best results, we recommend removing any effects from your EDL. While our system might handle an EDL that hasn't been decomposed, we can't guarantee perfect alignment without this step.
File Format Requirements: We accept only File 32 or 129 EDLs. Please note that CMX 3600, AAFs, and XMLs are not supported.
Handling Multiple Frame Rates: If your project involves multiple frame rates, please reach out to your Netflix representative. They can guide you on how to manage any frame rate discrepancies with your timeline.
AVID List Tool Settings: Please select only Color Decision List and Clip Names. Everything else should remain un-checked.
Adobe Premier: Please select only Optimize EDL, Color Decision List, Clip Names, and Source File Name. Everything else should remain un-checked.
