A stock and archive footage usage report

Licensing and archive invoices ask how much of each clip made it into the cut. Drop the export to get every source file with the source ranges used, merged where shots overlap, their duration, how many clips use them and where each first appears.

Seven reports

One export, every hand-off

Every report is built from the same timeline Conform uses for its conversions, so tracks, compound clips and speed changes are read the same way.

Clip list

Every clip in timeline order: track, clip and file name, record in and out, duration, source in and out, speed, whether it is enabled, and the file path. Picture and its linked sound are one row.

Media usage

Each use of every source file, back-to-back pieces merged; the total time and uses per file; and the source ranges actually used, for stock licensing and media pulls.

Music cue sheet

Music cues with title, timecode in and out and duration in minutes and seconds, with columns for composer, publisher, society, share and usage, ready to fill in for a performing rights society.

VFX pull list

Shots numbered VFX_010, VFX_020 and on, with frame counts, source timecodes and the range to pull with handles, picked by VFX markers, effects or track.

Markers & chapters

Markers, chapter markers and to-dos with timecode, name and note, plus YouTube chapter timestamps you can paste into the video description.

Effects & titles

Effects and color corrections per clip, speed changes, transitions, and titles, generators and captions with their text, for online and subtitle hand-offs.

Change list

Two versions of a cut compared: clips added, removed, trimmed or moved, with old and new timecodes and how far the rest of the cut shifted after each change.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is the used duration counted?

Per source range: if two clips use overlapping parts of the same file, that part is counted once. Media totals add up the time each file is on screen, and source ranges show the exact source timecodes to report or to pull.

Is my project uploaded anywhere?

No. Conform reads the export in your browser and builds the tables there. The project file and your media never leave your computer, and there is no sign-up for the free reports.

Which editors does it read?

Final Cut Pro FCPXML, including the .fcpxmld bundles of Final Cut Pro 10.6 and later and .zip files of them, FCP7 XML from Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and other editors that export it, CMX 3600 EDLs and OpenTimelineIO files.

What is in each report?

Clip list: every clip in timeline order with track, record and source timecodes, duration, speed and file path. Media usage: every use of each file, totals per file and the source ranges actually used. Music cue sheet: music cues with timings in minutes and seconds and columns for composer, publisher, society and share. VFX pull list: shot numbers, frame counts and source ranges with handles. Markers: timecode, type, name and note, with YouTube chapters. Effects and titles: effects, speed changes, transitions, titles, generators and captions with their text. Change list: what was added, removed, trimmed or moved between two versions of a cut.

How does the cue sheet count a cue?

Pieces of the same file that are cut back to back, or stacked on several tracks at once, count as one cue from the first in point to the last out point. Disabled clips are left out. Composer, publisher and usage are not part of an editing project, so the music cue sheet leaves those columns for you to fill in.

How much does it cost?

Reports for timelines up to 40 clips are free, as CSV. Pro costs US$9 per month: reports of any length, an Excel workbook with every report, and several projects at once, including a change list between two exported files. Cancel anytime.
