Understanding How Clips are Associated with Multiple Resolutions
1252
You create a new tape by clicking the New button in the Select Tape dialog box, entering a name
for the tape, and clicking OK.
Your Avid editing application then associates the new source ID with each clip that you capture
from that tape.
Example of source ID association: the source ID your Avid editing application assigns to a tape (for example,
12345) is also associated with each clip and media file you capture from that tape
Later, if you recapture a clip at a different resolution, make sure to select the tape name originally
associated with that clip. If you select the original name and use the original tape, your Avid
editing application associates the new media with the original master clip. In an Avid Interplay
environment, this source-based association is the basis for dynamic relink.
n
Avid CaptureManager also uses a source ID to associate a master clip with any media created at
the same time, such as a clip captured with two resolutions in a dual-ingest configuration.
However, instead of associating all clips from the same tape with the same source ID,
CaptureManager creates a new source ID every time it captures a new clip.
For details of the possible ways that master clips and media files might be associated with one
another in a MultiRez environment, see “Options for Clip and Media Association” on page 1253.
