Once you’ve selected the appropriate render settings and window burn options, you can output one or several versions of the media, to accommodate jobs where you need to provide several media deliverables. For more information on setting up and using the Deliver page, see Chapter 186, “Using the Deliver Page.”
Step 5–Reconform Media to an EDL, AAF, OTIO, or XML Project File
Once the offline media you’ve delivered has been edited in whichever NLE is used for the project, it’s simple to reimport the edited project via an AAF, XML, OTIO, or EDL file, depending on which is
most suitable to your application. This edit data can be used to reconform the original media that you imported into the Media Pool, so that you immediately have access to whatever graded adjustments you made to create the offline media, as applied to the source media.
Importing AAF, XML, OTIO, or EDL files in the Edit page creates new timelines, and you can import multiple subsequent Timelines to accommodate changes that have been made to the edit, if you find yourself grading a project that is in progress editorially. In fact, depending on how you set up
your grades, you can use remote versions which will automatically ripple to follow each clip when you import a re-edited version of the program as a new timeline, saving you from having to recreate your work. For more information on using remote versions, see Chapter 139, “Grade Management.”
Step 6–Output Final Media for Finishing
Once you’re finished with your final grade, you’ll again use the controls of the Deliver page to render the program’s final media, either as individual clips for a round-trip workflow, or as a single media file or image sequence for delivery as a digital master.
