Workflow: File-based Editing with MetaFuze
High-resolution media files can originate from digital film cameras, film-scanning facilities, or
CGI applications. The following workflow shows you how to edit and finish projects with
footage that is in a digital file format, such as DPX or ARI.

Description
1 Transfer reels of negative via telecine to HD 4:2:2 for the offline editing.
2 Import the film transfer files (FLEx, Evertz, Aaton, AFE) into Media Composer project bins and
batch capture the footage from the dailies.
3 Generate a Pull List using Avid FilmScribe that provides a concise list of footage to be
retransferred at a higher resolution.
4 Retransfer the final footage to HD 4:4:4. The source timecodes and tapename are easily matched
using the common denominator which is the KeyKode information of the OCN. Once the bins
are relinked, the sequence will point to the newly transferred sources, tape, timecode, etc.
5 Audio can be captured directly from a BWF file-based recorder, and synced with the video
during the editing process.
6 Perform the final edit and output the final production. Alternativly, you can export files for audio
or video finishing on other editing systems.
