Editing and Finishing High-Resolution XDCAM
Media
Once you import the high-resolution media, you can playback and edit your sequence with full
resolution and in real-time. You can also send the sequence to a broadcast playback server using
Avid Interplay Transfer.
As you edit your sequence, you can move between the proxy media and the high-resolution
media by relinking your clips with the corresponding media files. When you relink proxy media
to the high-resolution media, select one of the following Relink Method options:
• Highest Quality
• Most Compressed
n
Do not select Specific Resolution as the Relink Method.
This allows the audio tracks to relink to the appropriate audio files. For more information about
the Relink command, see “Relinking Media Files” on page 467.
Importing P2 Clips and Media
P2 media files include information (metadata) that lets them appear as master clips in an Avid
editing application. You can import the P2 clips directly from a P2 card or a copy of a P2 card on
another drive into a bin. You can also import the media associated with the clips if you want to
reuse the P2 card, for example, if you want to capture additional material onto the card in a
camera. For more information about copying P2 cards to another drive, see “Copying File-Based
Media to a FireWire or Network Drive” on page 380.
To import P2 clips directly from a P2 card or a copy of a P2 card on a drive:
1. Open and select the bin where you want to import the master clips to.
2. Select File > Import P2 > Clips to Bin.
The Browse for Folder dialog box opens.
3. Navigate to the P2 files:
t Navigate to the P2 card
t Navigate to the folder where multiple P2 cards reside. The system can import P2 files
from multiple cards as long as each card has a Contents folder.
The Import P2 option imports all the clips on the card.
4. Click OK.
