menu (Macintosh), and select a resolution for the imported media.

Media Creation Settings dialog box.
OMFI and AAF files do not convert DV 25 to DV 50 or DV 50 to DV 25.
Your Avid editing application imports XDCAM media at the native resolution of the media
on the XDCAM disc. The system ignores other video resolution settings.
14. Click the Single/Dual Drives button and select a destination drive for the imported file.
The target drive or drives match the drives selected on the Import tab of the Media Creation
Settings dialog box. If you select a different drive, the drive is also selected in the Media

Your Avid editing application uses the disk label for operations such as Batch Import, where you
are prompted to insert a specific XDCAM disc that holds the files you want to import. A disk
label is required in order to import XDCAM media.
16. Select files or deselect files from the source file list by using the standard selection methods
for your operating system.
17. Click Open.
When the system finishes importing the files, the clips display in the selected bin.
If you imported stereoscopic files, standard master clips are created in the bin. These clips
must manually be selected and converted into stereoscopic master clips before you do any
stereoscopic editing.
Importing with Multichannel Audio
You can use the Import Settings dialog box to define the audio track formats for the audio
channels in your imported media, up to a maximum of 16 audio channels for the clips in your
bins. This allows you to specify which source channels are treated as mono or multichannel
audio tracks in your project, rather than having to modify the clips in your bin after you import
the source media.
