Dynamic Availability
The list under Codec Presets (Edit > Control Panel > Site > etc.) is a complete listing of all codecs known
in Avid Liquid, and may also include codecs that can be purchased optionally. This does not mean that
all these codecs are available in every product or module. The list of available codecs is dynamically com-
piled and made available for selection based on the module, Timeline Format and input signal.
Identical Media Files
Initially, Media Management handles Media Files in different Media Formats (I-MPEG, DV, Uncom-
pressed, PCM, etc.) that are otherwise identical (same Reel, same clip-in/clip-out) as one clip that exists
in two or three Media Formats (Clip-based View). Probably the most common example of this involves
video Media Files with synchronous audio Media Files (e.g. VA 1 A 2 )
Another criterion is the creation time: When two or more identical files exist, Media Management
focuses on the most recent. See also “Matching Clips to Media Files” on page 326.
