Preparing the ProTools session for conform

For Virtual Katy to automatically conform the session to the new version you have to do some preparation.


Create Guide Track and Create Clip Group

Create a Guide Track, a new Audio Track, and create an empty Clip Group spanning over the whole duration of the session. This will help you identify where edits have been made once the session has been conformed.

Set Session Start to 00:00:00:00 and “Maintain Timecode”

Open Setup > Session and set the Session Start to one hour earlier (usually 00:00:00:00). In the dialog presented choose to “Maintain Timecode” which will move all your current clips one hour later in the session.
