9. Click OK.
If you selected Expert Decompose in step 8, the Expert Decompose dialog box opens. For
information on how to use this dialog box, see “Using Expert Decompose” on page 220.

select these clips like all other objects in the bin.

Your Avid editing application selects a resolution for each new clip that is appropriate for the
target format you select in the Expert Decompose dialog box. If the target format matches the
current project type, your Avid editing application uses the capture resolution set in the Media
Creation settings. Otherwise, your Avid editing application uses the resolution of the original
clip or the default resolution for the project. The clip’s resolution is a default that you can
override when you recapture.
10. Proceed with the recapturing procedures described in “Batch Capturing Clips” on page 212.
Using Expert Decompose
If you select the Expert Decompose option in the Decompose dialog box, the Expert Decompose
dialog box opens before the decompose process begins.
In the Expert Decompose dialog box, you can:
• View information about the tapes/sources or clips in the sequences you are decomposing.
If you select “Display tapes/sources only” in the Decompose dialog box, a line of
information appears for each tape or source used in the sequences you are decomposing, and
the information columns display the name of each tape or source, the original video
resolution of the clip, the source frame rate, and the edit frame rate.
If you select “Display clips” in the Decompose dialog box, a line of information appears for
each source clip represented in the sequences you are decomposing, and an additional
column displays the name of each clip.
• Sort the information in any of the columns.
• Select the tapes/sources or clips that you want to decompose.
• Select the target format at which you want to recapture the decomposed tapes/sources or
clips.
The following illustration shows the Expert Decompose dialog box as it might appear if you
select sequences that contain clips of a variety of different formats and then select “Display
clips” in the Decompose dialog box. In some cases, the edit rate for a clip differs from the source
rate.
