Considerations for conforming assets
Depending on formats and the application triggering a conform job, the resultant simple clip can have different specifications.
When a source complex asset (sequence or list) is conformed, the conform job
falls into one of the following categories:
- Same-format:
- The source format is the same for all clips in the complex asset AND the destination format to which the asset is conformed is also that same format.
- Mixed-format:
- The source format is the same for all clips in the complex asset AND the destination format to which the asset is conformed is a different format.
- -OR-
- There are at least two different source formats in the complex asset.
Formats include SD, 720p, and 1080i.
The following are examples:
- When a source sequence or list with multiple SD clips is conformed to a simple SD clip, it is a same-format conform job.
- When that same source sequence or list with multiple SD clips is conformed to a simple 720p (HD) clip, it is a mixed-format conform job.
- When a source sequence or list with at least one 720p clip and at least one 1080i clip is conformed, it always a mixed-format conform job, regardless of the destination format to which it is conformed.
