# Workflow #2: Importing Timeline

Importing a Timeline allows you to work with an editorial sequence that contains shots and soft transitions (such as dissolves). In this case, timelines are created in a Visual Effects and Finishing application and Lustre gains access to the timeline by way of Wiretap. This is a useful workflow for shot-to-shot grading.

NoteThe timeline includes information for all the segments in a clip, including the head and tail information for dissolve and splice events. When you load a Timeline clip, it auto-assembles, allowing you to bypass the conform step.

Lustre renders the final clip to local storage using one of the four rendering options in the Render Local menu. See Specifying the Destination for Local Render Files.
