Conform Pulls in Content Hub allows you to locate, trim, and consolidate your Original Camera Footage for your Picture Finishing Vendor. 

Preparing EDL

The Content Hub Conform Pull tool will require an EDL when submitting a pull request.  Before exporting your EDL, we recommend that you remove any effects that have been applied in your offline edit and creating a clean 1 track timeline. 

 

AVID:

If you happen to be editing in Avid you can do this simply by right clicking on your sequence in your bin and choosing Decompose. This can create a new sequence with all effects & transitions removed.  From there you can export your EDL.

 

Accepted EDL formats:  File 32 or 129 ELDS
(CMX 3600 is NOT accepted)

 

Avid List Tool Settings:

Please only select the following (everything else should be un-checked)

* Color Decision List

* Clip Names
