According to one implementation, a media content conformation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive an editing file including edits to media content, the edits being based on a compressed representation of the media content and having a first data format. The software code also obtains cross-referencing data that maps a timecode data of the compressed representation of the media content to segments of an uncompressed representation of the media content, and transforms the editing file to a conformation file including the edits in a second data format based on the cross-referencing data. The conformation file enables rendering of an edited version of the media content including the edits.
BACKGROUND (1) Media content, such as animation for example, is often produced in multiple versions that may differ in resolution. For instance, when making edits to animation sequences from finished frames of animation, editors typically use compressed, proxy video clips, in place of the original uncompressed animation frames. The compressed proxy media content is utilized because working with the original uncompressed media content in editorial applications is typically too computationally intensive. (2) Existing editorial applications for media content such as animation may produce a final render by applying the edits made to the compressed media content to higher resolution versions of that content, but require the participation of a human editor in an interactive process to do so. Moreover, and unfortunately, existing editorial applications do not have features enabling the application of edits made to proxy video clips of animation back to the original uncompressed frames of animation. SUMMARY (3) There are provided systems and methods for performing digital conformation of media content, substantially as shown in or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.
