Manually Importing XDCAM Media from the
XDCAM Disk
Use the standard Import function to import XDCAM media into your Avid editing
application. Set the default XDCAM import options in the XDCAM tab of the Import
Settings dialog box. For more information on import options, see “Import Settings: XDCAM
Tab” on page 1294.
You can import files through the:
• Import function
• Drag and drop method of importing files
For more information, see “Importing Media Files” on page 269 and “Using the
Drag-and-Drop Method to Import Files” on page 302.
n
Your Avid editing application imports XDCAM media at the native resolution of the media
on the XDCAM disk. The system ignores other resolution settings — for example, in the
Select Files to Import dialog box.
You can locate the MXF media files in the following directories on your XDCAM disk:
• High-resolution media — XDCAM drive:\Clip
•Proxy media — XDCAM drive:\Sub
Importing Essence Marks as Locators in XDCAM
Media
Essence Marks store metadata about media clips. You can set Essence Marks manually or
automatically with the XDCAM cameras. Use Essence Marks to mark events such as clip
start points or audio clipping and for sorting and searching clips stored on XDCAM discs.
For a description of Essence Marks, see your Sony documentation.
You can import Essence Marks as locators when you import either proxy media or
high-resolution media. The locators appear in the bin of the XDCAM master clips, and you
can view them in the Source/Record monitor, in the Timeline, and in the Locators window.
For information on using locator information as you edit, see “Suggested Uses for Locators”
on page 494.
