Re: Is Virtual Katy gone?
Weird. I tried it on 4 different episodes (3 different editors I gave instructions to) and even recommended it to the local PBS who tried it on 2 episodes (with a 4th editor) and it gave bizarre reconforms every time.

This has been occurring with shows that have to be timed, and delivered 29.97DF, but the edited footage is 23.98. EDLs can't seem be properly generated. Also AEs with EDL knowledge to help resolve this are very rare. I havent solved this issue.

Re: Is Virtual Katy gone?
I see.
Send me some example EDLs and I'll see if there's a way for Conformalizer to handle them correctly. Better yet, if there is an Assistant Editor who can explain the workaround we can add that to the "letter to the editor". So DF is still common in the US broadcast world? Justin |

Seems to me that most shoot at 23.976. A large client maintains a dual frame rate approach. Offline editing entirely at 23.976. I get aaf''s at 23.976 with video exported as 29.97. Online and color correct then happens at 59.94. Frankly, the only reason I haven't used Conformalizer on their shows is because they refuse to generate EDLs! It is very frustrating and wasteful to conform by hand. Their handwritten change lists are always wrong, too. Always.

Re: Is Virtual Katy gone?
Hmm...
It shouldn't at all difficult to generate an EDL - not compared to a change note. If you can get a response out of those people I'd love to know if there's a particular issue. If there is, the solution could be as simple as Conformalizer supporting a slightly different combination of frame rates.. or something... Please send thru any examples or responses form your picture people. Cheers Justin |

Setting the speed to 'careful' (or something similar) solved it every time. @Justin It would be nice to see some notification after conforming saying PT probably couldn't keep up at XX timecode. This way I don't have to stare at my screen for 20 mins during conforming. Or even better, abort the operation. (This was about 9 months ago on a trial, haven't needed the software since so this could be different now.) @OP Virtual Katy still only supports the outdated CMX3600 edl's, limited to 999 cuts. Making it pretty much useless for lengthy projects (unless using a workaround you have to explain to the editor). Updates are scarce (it takes a long time for them to support newer protools versions) and the price is fairly high. I'd say apart from the speed issue Conformalizer is better in every way.

Re: Is Virtual Katy gone?
Thanks Farhoof, that's about what I've figured now. Pitched my boss on Conformalizer and I expect he'll be making a group purchase for the whole company shortly.

Re: Is Virtual Katy gone?
It's not. Did it at all settings.
Sorry to have derailed the thread. Conformalizer is great and easy. Good choice!

Re: Is Virtual Katy gone?
Nonsense. I love it when a conversation arises in which (a) there is discussion of real-world benefits and issues about a particular piece of software and (b) the developer of that software product chimes in and tries to solve the issues.

The current version checks the copied and pasted durations to make sure they are the same, and if not it will repeat the event (while displaying the red text you mentioned). If you see that happening a lot, you should slow down the conform speed. At the moment this is about the best we can do since AVID can't/won't give us any hooks into Pro Tools. Feel free to complain to your favourite AVID representative. Justin |
