Option Description

Video and audio on

same drive(s)

Select to store the transcoded media files on the same target drive.

Deselecting this option lets you select separate drives for the audio

and video media files.

Handle length n frames If you are transcoding subclips or sequences, type a handle length for

the new clips, or accept the default: leave it at 60 frames (NTSC) or

50 frames (PAL). The handle length is the number of frames outside

the IN and OUT points that you can use for dissolves and trims with

the new, shorter master clips.

Create new clips In an Interplay environment, with Dynamic Relink enabled, select

this option to create new master clips for the transcoded media. If you

do not select this option, the existing master clip is associated with

both the original media file and the transcoded media file. For more

information, see “Understanding How Clips are Associated with

Multiple Resolutions” on page 1251.
