Dialogue Editing

The Auto-Assembly 75
Figure 5-8 Titan’s Flash Conform is a convenient way to conform (fi le-link) fi lebased
edit lists to create editing sessions for digital audio workstations.
due to incorrect folder names, timecode (timestamp) errors, or missing
media, will be reported in an error log.
You must answer questions about the naming scheme for the soundfi
les, fi le type, and timecode format. As expected, you’re asked to
locate the folders containing the soundfi les and to name the soon-tobe-born
Pro Tools session.
As with other auto-assembly processes, you must choose which comment text
string the program will use as a trigger for naming the resulting Pro Tools
regions.
Auto-assembly from fi les is massively easier than it is from tape, since there’s
no loading to do. The only caveat is that fi le-based auto-assembly programs
like Titan can be very fi nicky about EDL formatting, COMMENT fi eld structure,
and naming schemes. Some of the time you save by not having to load sounds
from tape may be squandered in playing with EDLs. Yet another reason to
become skilled at EDL list management.
