Editing with High-Resolution Media
Your Avid editing system can work directly with film footage that is already in digital file
format, such as files from digital video cameras or film scanning processes. In fact, media from
the RED camera can be linked through your Avid editing application to avoid capturing these
high-resolution files. Audio is included in the RED files, and will display as .wav files in the
bin—see “Working with RED Media” on page 1463.

If you need to work with other high-res file formats that cannot be read by Media Composer (e.g.
DPX/ARI), start by using Avid MetaFuze to convert the files into MXF files at an HD resolution,
and then import this MXF into your Avid editing application for offline editing—see “Workflow:
File-based Editing with MetaFuze” on page 1446.
When film reel footage is transferred from tape, you can capture it at any SD or HD resolution.
The resolution at which you capture depends on the hardware capabilities of your system and the
amount of storage space that you have available for the media. Some Avid editing applications
let you capture HD-RGB 4:4:4 format, which provides superior quality for editing and applying
effects. Use the resolution that is optimal for your system, and that lets you edit your sequences
efficiently during the offline process.
To increase your performance when working with high-res media, you can do the offline edit
with low-res proxy media. If you are working with RED via AMA, see “Editing with Low-Res
RED Media” on page 1464.

Use the Digital Cut tool to output a 1080p/23.976 master tape. Then
convert the master tape to 720p/59.94 or 1080i/59.94 for broadcast.
Optionally, use your Avid editing application to crossconvert to
720p/59.94 or 1080i/59.94 for preview or reference. The HD VTR
can also create 1080i/50 for PAL broadcast.
