File Transfer for the Online Session
Before you begin moving project files between Avid editing applications, consider the following.
• Determine if you need to transfer project information, video media, audio media, or all
three. See “Step 1: Transfer Files” on page 1114.
• Determine the most appropriate method for transferring your project files. See “Devices and
Methods for Transferring Files” on page 1124.
System Compatibility for the Online Session
Ensure that files transfer correctly between editing systems, and that both systems include the
necessary applications. Consider the following:
HD Online SD Offline Notes
720p/23.976 23.976p NTSC You cannot change between these project formats
because the edit rates are different. See “Converting
a 23.976p NTSC Sequence to 720p/23.976” on
page 1518.
720p/25 25p PAL or 25i PAL Change the project format and modify the sequence.
720p/50 25p PAL or 25i PAL You cannot change between these project formats
because the edit rates are different.
720p/59.94 30i NTSC You cannot change between these project formats
because the edit rates are different, see “Editing at
60 fps” on page 1518. Use an NTSC 30i project for
offline editing, then open a new 720p/59.94 project
for online editing. Open the desired NTSC 30i bins
and modify the final sequence, as described in
“Changing the Sequence Format” on page 1515.
