In addition to capturing from source tapes,
you have several other ways to bring con-
tent into your system. An increasingly pop-
ular way to input material is to import from
or link to file-based media. Many cameras
can record media files directly to a hard
drive, SD card, or proprietary hard disk—
sometimes in conjunction with tape-based
capture and sometimes in place of tape-
based capture. Importing and linking to
file-based media is usually faster and more
efficient than capturing from tape.
This chapter describes procedures for
working with digital material from file-
based sources such as P2, XDCAM,
XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD, GFCAM, RED, and
QuickTime files. We’ll discuss importing
image files, video files, and audio files.
