Converting Projects

Changing Project Length / Pitch

Processes whole Projects. Offers Time Compression or Pitch Reduction of 4% (24fps to 25fps) or Time Expansion or
Pitch Rise of 4.17% (25fps to 24fps)
Given an Origin Reference and a Ratio all clips of the project are stretched/squeezed and moved accordingly to
the stretch ratio and origin reference. Optionally all media can be consolidated to process only the part of audio
required by the clips. This function is available through the menu Project / Stretch and requires the Prosoniq
MPEX2 authorization key to be entered.

Reconforming a Project

Processes entire project. To be used where the existing project was created by Autoconforming material to a CMX
EDL.
