5. In the Import Target area, select the desired resolution and storage location.
6. In the Import Options area, select “Keep existing local media” and any other options.

Your Avid editing application imports the files and creates media in the resolution you
specified. The original media file is preserved, and the master clip is now associated with an
additional resolution.
Transcoding Media to Low-Res Proxies
Transcoding allows you to convert media to any Avid supported format. Use the transcode
operation only if your hardware does not support batch capturing in a desired proxy format.
Transcoding is only useful for creating lower resolution versions of high-res media; it is not
recommended that you transcode from low-res to high-res.
