Backdraft Conform does not support Timewarp effects
in OMF files. These effects are converted to a linear Timewarp.
The resulting timeline will have the correct duration with the correct
Source In/Out timecode, but the speed will be incorrect. You will
need to manually replicate the animation Timewarp effect.
Audio EQ is not supported
if you import an OMF file with EQ. The audio clip on which the EQ
effect was applied will replaced with a gap. The remainder of the
OMF file will be loaded correctly.
Wipes imported through
OMF as effects are always animated.
Avid effects are translated
as follows when importing an OMF file into Backdraft Conform.
