Media Tab
WARNING: The Quality Ranks do not affect the image quality of captured video. Your clips will not look
better if you raise the Quality Rank, but you may easily experience problems with “disappearing” media files
if you use this function. For more information, refer to the High Definition chapter.

leave this setting at its Normal default unless you have specific reason to change it.

this selection is only for systems configured for Liquid Editing for Workgroups or Vortex net-
works. You can either save captured data to a local storage or via a CMS/MDC (Content Manage-
ment System/Meta Data Controller) to a network storage location. For local storage, check the
Media Management Settings (Edit > Control Panel > Site...). Other network-related settings
should be left to the network administrator.
Send Clips To Timeline (Direct Insert)
This function allows you to compile a rough cut directly from the Logging Tool, either with already cap-

means of Batch Digitize (page 292).
This button is either activated (icon highlighted) or not.

Overwrite Style (red icon) and deactivate insertion (see also Edit Styles on page 378).

correct Mapping (page 375).
