of a data track in the Avid EDL Manager’s Track Selector panel with the D track button.
Events which contain a Data track appear in an EDL with a “D” where the “V” appears for

Adding a Data Track
You can add one Data track directly to the Timeline or you can extract the ancillary data from a
video clip to create the Data track.
If you have a clip with ancillary data that you brought in through the Legacy method, the best
way to bring this clip onto a data track is to use the procedure by extracting ancillary data from a
clip. When you add a Data track by extracting a clip, the clip needs to meet the following criteria,
or you will receive an error message:
• The clip must be a master clip
• The clip should not have a Data track associated with it already
• The media needs to be DNxHD format
• The media needs to be online
To add the Data Track to a sequence in the Timeline:
t With a sequence loaded in the Record monitor, select Clip > New Data Track.
t Right-click in the Timeline, and select New Data Track.
The new Data Track appears in the Timeline.
To add a Data Track through extracting ancillary data from a clip:
1. Select the clip (that includes ancillary data) in the bin.
2. Choose Clip > Extract DNxHD Data, or Right-click the clip in the bin and choose Extract
DNxHD Data.
The Confirm dialog box appears.
If the clip does not meet all the requirements to extract an ancillary data clip, a dialog box
appears that informs you of the problem. Open the Console window (Tools > Console) to get
more information about the problem.
3. Click Continue or Cancel.
The system adds the Data track with the clip to the Timeline. The clip in the bin displays D1
in the Track column.

To playback the D1 track, you must have the ancillary data turned on in the Media Creation
Settings > Capture tab. See “Controlling Ancillary Data through a Settings Window - Data
Track Method” on page 1100.
