Step 6: Batch Import Graphics
If you are working with master clips or sequences that contain imported material, you can use the
Batch Import command to reimport the source files. For example, you might want to:
• Upgrade the video resolution of the imported files to an online resolution.
• Replace low-quality material with high-quality material finished with other applications.
• Create new media files when the media files are lost or accidentally deleted.
c
Reimporting requires your original source files. Do not delete the media files for imported
files unless you have access to the source files.
To make batch importing easier:
• Consider placing a “graphics” folder inside the project folder of your offline project. This
makes the batch import process easier because the path is the same, or at least faster to find.
• If you want to edit revised graphics into your project, consider giving them the same names
as the original graphics, copying the revised graphics to the folder that contains the original
graphics, and batch importing the revised graphics. You can also edit new graphics into your
project by deleting the media for your original graphics, batch importing your sequence, and
pointing the old clips to the revised graphics files.
For instructions on batch importing, see “Reimporting Files” on page 318.
Step 7: Re-create Title Media
After you transfer or import all files, you might need to re-create title media if you did not render
the titles, or if you want to change the resolution of the titles. For more information, see
“Re-creating Title Media” in the Help.
If you have the same font on both systems, the equivalent font appears automatically when you
re-create title media. However, because the font mapping process might change the exact
appearance of the font, check your titles carefully. It might be easier to check your titles from the
bin than from the sequence.
If a title opens and the system does not recognize the font, you see a dialog box that lets you
substitute the font in the title for one that is installed on the system. This replacement creates a
font mapping, which is saved as a Site setting. For information on changing the font mapping,
see “Redefining a Font Replacement” on page 1119. If more than one font in the title needs
replacement, the dialog box remains open after you click OK, and a new message identifies the
next font that needs replacement.
