Transcoding of Mixed Resolution Clips During a Send to Playback
When you perform a Send to Playback operation, the application automatically renders effects
and relinks your sequence to the target resolution. You can use the Send to Playback command
with sequences that contain clips of different resolutions. Any clips in the sequence with
resolutions not matching the target resolution settings in the Dynamic Relink dialog box are
transcoded to the target resolution. The application creates a new master clip (with the extension
.new) and associates the new clip with the new transcoded media.
Before the Send to Playback operation begins, the application searches the sequence for any
clips with an undesirable resolution for the transcode operation, such as clips with low
resolutions that would create a low quality output after the clip is transcoded. If clips are found, a
warning message is displayed to let you decide if the Send to Play operation should continue
with a lower quality output. You can set the minimum resolution allowed before displaying the
warning message by using the Transfer Settings dialog box. For setup information, see the Avid
Interplay Transfer Setup and User’s Guide.
n
Dynamic Relink must be enabled to use the Transcode before sending to playback option. For
information about using Dynamic Relink, see the Avid editing application Help system.
