Autoconform is the video editing
post production process where an online editing
system combines a timecode based edit decision list
(EDL) created from an offline editing
system with the original video and audio source material to produce a version of the edited video which is a high quality (usually broadcast quality
) analogue of the programme produced in the offline editing system.

When the creative process has been completed, the final version can be sent to a professional printer who can reproduce the document at full quality.
