Q:
1. Post Conform locates the machine control deck in a random fashion while loading sources (but eventually loads the source).2. Post Conform tries to load source items randomly or out of order from the reel/tape.3. Post Conform prompts the user to insert the next reel/tape even though it has not finished loading all sources off of the current reel/tape.4. Post Conform prompts the user to insert a tape it has loaded previously.
A:
This is caused by enabling the Use Comments as Region Names preference. Disable the preference by turning it off and create sources again. 1. Go to the Options menu and choose Preferences, hit the Conforming menu button and make sure the "Use Comments as Region Names" option is clicked OFF. Hit OK.2. Go to the EDL menu and choose "Select All Events". 3. Go to the Source Audio menu and choose Clear Selected. It will throw a dialog box that says "Are you sure you want to clear the selected sources? This command cannot be undone." Click yes.4. Go to the EDL menu and choose Create Sources. What happens?When the Use comments as region names preference is enabled, Post Conform will also use those comments to name the audio sources in the source bin. Post Conform loads audio from the tape/reel according to the order of the sources in the source bin. It does this from top to bottom but it sorts the sources in alphanumeric order with numbers having priority in the hierarchy and then letters. If you load audio with this preference on, Post Conform may not load the audio in the most efficient manner. You can have several sources on one tape in succession according to the EDL but with this preference on, Post Conform will not necessarily sort them according to their appearance on the tape. Sources starting with numbers will be loaded first even though there may be other sources on the tape/reel named with letters that physically come before them. As Post Conform locates the deck via machine control it appears to the user to be randomly shuttling the deck looking for the correct time code. It will also take substantially longer to load audio sources in this manner.
