Understanding In-Progress Clips
If your Avid editing application is part of a workgroup environment managed by Avid Interplay,
you can edit using in-progress clips. In-progress clips are created using Frame Chase capture
capabilities, either on another Avid editing application or with a line feed or ingest device such as
an Avid AirSpeed
®
.
In-progress clips are available for viewing and for use in editing while the capture is still in
progress. The length of in-progress clips is based on their expected duration in the capture
device. Portions of the clip that have already been captured are available for viewing in monitors,
and you can edit those portions into a sequence. Portions of the clip that have not yet been
captured are represented in monitors by a “Capture in Progress” slide.
You can send a sequence that includes material from in-progress clips to playback at any time.
You do not have to wait until the capture completes.
For more information on how the Frame Chase capture process works, see “Frame Chase
Capture” on page 236.
Editing with In-Progress Clips
The following procedure outlines the basic steps for editing using an in-progress clip when you
use the Interplay Window to access the Interplay database.
To edit using an in-progress clip:
1. Open your Avid editing application, open a project, and open the Interplay Window.
2. In the Interplay Window, navigate to the folder that holds the clip that you want to use for
editing.
If you know some information about the clip, you can use the Search feature.
A clip that is being captured displays an in-progress icon.
3. Load the clip into the Source monitor and play the clip.
The clip plays in the Source monitor at the same time the media is being captured. Portions
of a clip that are not currently available display a “Capture in Progress” slide until those
portions are captured.
