Default Re: Dialogue Assembly / Conform

It's hard to see from those low res screenshots but to me it looks like you were given a regular CMX EDL which truncates any source names to 8 or 10 characters and 999 events. This leads to wrong results as different material will look the same to the conforming software. Ask the cutting room for a file32 format EDL which won't truncate long names contained in it and try again.

file32 should be the default for any EDL exports nowadays because usually no one incl. cameras stick to 8-character naming anymore.

Unless I am on the wrong path here and those are in fact correct EDLs?

That being said, the field recorder workflow using the AAF should work regardless as the EDL isn't needed. Could be a million reasons. match criteria set wrong, AAF with stripped meta-data (use a non embedded AAF to check) or both. Very hard to diagnose. What are your match criteria settings and can you make more hi-res screenshots? If you get that to work you won't need to mess around with EDLs in the first place which saves a ton of time.
