Ignore Scan FormatEnable Ignore Scan Format to:

Ignore scan mode when determining whether a clip matches the project's default fps. If the scan mode of the clip does not match that of the project, clip information appears in cyan. For example, if you have a progressive NTSC-sized clip in an NTSC F1 project, the clip's information appears in cyan.
Disable warnings that are usually given when you load clips with different scan modes into a module.
Set all media to Progressive in Action no matter what scan mode is used by the source clips.
Disregard scan mode when detecting mismatching resolutions, in any module that accepts multiple inputs.
