Scene & Take Separators
gives a choice of characters to be used to separate a Scene name
and a Take name from the string.

By TimeCode and prompting for location Any Media with overlapping TimeCode with prompting for
the folder name/ location
By TimeCode in any media folder Any Media with overlapping TimeCode
With various options:
Ignore characters after finding… ignores the rest of the string after a given substring is found
Ignore File Extension ignores any characters after the last dot
Match only … first characters ignores all characters after a given number of them
Search In allows the choice of which Media Folder to search in
Search sub-folders When checked sub-folders are searched
Match Options Offers options for the matching algorithm:
Match exactly both strings must be identical
Match only minimum common available characters
Take0001.new.01 will match with Take0001
Original contains new Media Take0001 will match with 0001
New Media contains Original 0001 will match with Take0001
Case insensitive TAKE0001 will match with Take0001
Ignore characters… if, for instance, /_+- are specified then 12-A/0001 will match with
12/A_0001
Ignore TimeCodes no checks are made on Original TimeCodes (timestamps). This
allows media with erroneous/lost timestamps to be replaced with
the correct ones or vice-versa.
Other Options
Extend Edits to more tracks
When conforming a Clip referencing multiple Tracks to a Clip ref-
erencing a mono media file adds a new Clip (with the same fades,
etc…) for all of these Tracks as well.
Note: In the case of multiple passes for the conform operation, this function can be performed
afterwards with the menu item Tracks > Extend This
automatically extends the number of Tracks to
accommodate all the Media channels of each of the Clips of one or more timeline Track(s)
