Hi Frank
Sorry for late reply. Been a bit bad at tracking this list. =)
Things are fine here, busy as usual. Hope thing are fine there too. =)
I think it would be easier to describe if I didn’t use the phrasing “make
offline”. Because, in all honesty that’s what the *py does so it’s probably a
bit misleading here.
What I’d REALLY want is a “return to un-conformed state” or just an option
“unconform” when right clicking a clip. I don’t think would be as easy as just
remove the ‘clip’/mediaSource either since nStudio/Hiero has a bad habit of
changing reelname when conforming, compare to EDL entry.
In the case where it’s an EDL I think it would be pretty straight forward to
probe the EDL info since that’s always available for mouse over. I think this
is accessible and I think I played with that in the early Hiero days. Would be
nice with something default and a non-hack though. =) Also, when conforming an
XML that info isn’t available so then you need another method.
Possible user cases is when you’ve done something that you later on realize is
wrong. You’re out of undo’s or have had a crash and want to take a few clips
back to unconformed state so you can re-conform them with different settings. I
don’t do this often but there’s occasions when I would want it and need it and
at those time it’s rather frustrating today. =)
Screenshot of regular EDL conform at our place. EDL from Avid. Path to source
file is clip-name by default and reel-name is more or less {filebase} in the
case of alexa files.

Screenshot of XML conform. We do more and more of these. AAF takes a roundtrip
in premiere and is exported from there to XML that we conform. Here it keeps
the path to the offline MXF’s on our Avid ISIS.

Happy to provide more info if needed. You can always ping me in private if
needed. =)
Cheers
