How to read the colors
The same six colors run through the analysis results, the clips in Resolve, and the Review
window. Work the oranges first, then a pass over the rest. For each flag you choose: fix it in
Premiere and re-analyze, or send as-is and let the flag travel with the package so nothing is
forgotten. Analysis only reads your project; it never changes it.
Error fix before you conform
- Something that stops the send. Fix it and re-analyze.
Warning won't transfer; rebuild in Resolve
- Media offline. Konformista can't find the clip's file. The send still goes
ahead and the clip arrives offline in Resolve, ready to relink. Link the file on the results
page before you send, or relink it in Resolve.
- Clip effects present. Color corrections and third-party filters don't
transfer; each is listed to rebuild in the grade. (Transforms, crop, opacity and composite
modes do carry across.)
- Warp Stabilizer present. Premiere bakes stabilization into its render:
re-apply it in Resolve.
Review verify after import
- Approximate retime. Variable speed ramps are reconstructed; verify
against the edit.
- Video transition approximated. Most transfer natively; any without a
native match fall back to a Cross Dissolve.
- Reverse playback, nested sequences, multicam, collapsed tracks, heuristic
scaling. Choices you made or best guesses worth a quick look.
Rebuilt done for you; spot-check
- Solid colors and titles. Color Matte and Black Video arrive as Resolve
generators, and titles as live, editable text, worth a quick check. (A solid shaped by an
opacity mask arrives full-frame, flagged as a Warning to rebuild the mask.)
Info a note; usually nothing to do
- Reframing & scaling, constant speed, clip gain, channel selection, audio
effects, audio crossfades, Premiere markers, opacity keyframes, freeze frames. Arrive
as Resolve equivalents. Audio effects are listed so you can set them in Resolve if needed.
Placeholder a stand-in you'll replace
- Adjustment layers arrive as Resolve adjustment clips, their effects listed
to rebuild.
- Other graphics, MOGRTs, and synthetic media such as bars arrive as
switched-off placeholders: drop in the finals in Resolve.
Where the flags go
Flags travel with the handoff: as markers, clip colors, and a conform report inside the
.konform package, and as the checklist in the Review window during
the grade: tick a clip reviewed and its marker and color clear from the timeline. The same
guidance the editor saw appears next to every clip.
