Selecting Settings for Capture
125
To select a video resolution and media drives:
1. Do one of the following:
t Double-click Media Creation in the Settings list.
t Select File > Output > Media > Media Creation Settings.
The Media Creation dialog box opens.
2. Click the Media Type tab, and select either OMF or MXF file format.
If your project uses an HD resolution, you cannot select OMF as a file format. MXF is selected
by default.
3. Click the Capture tab.
4. Click the Video Resolution menu, and select a video resolution.
The Video Resolution menu contains a list of the available resolutions, which depend on such
factors as the model of Media Composer, your Avid input/output hardware, and your project
format.
For HDV projects, no video resolutions are available for capture, because Media Composer
automatically selects the correct resolution. For 720p HDV projects, Avid DNxHD and
DVCPRO HD resolutions are listed for other media creation. For 1080 HDV projects, DNxHD-
TR resolutions are available for other media creation.
You can restrict the number of video resolutions available to simplify this step. For more
information, see “Disabling Video Resolutions” on page 126.
5. Select a video drive and an audio drive. To select the same drive for both video and audio, click
the Single/Dual Drives Mode button until only a single drive menu opens.
n
The drive that appears in boldface type has the most available space.
6. (Option) You can select drives and create a drive group. Click the Target Drive menu, and select
Change Group. For more information on selecting a drive group, see “Selecting the Target
Drives” on page 144.
