Wave Monophonic
Groups
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application imports multichannel,
monophonic BWF files as a single master clip. This lets you import an eight-track
recording, for example, as an eight-track master clip with sequential file names based on
the track order (filename_1.wav is associated with track A1, filename_2.wav is
associated with track A2).
Option Description
Option Description
Force import of both
Proxy & High-resolution
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application imports both proxy and
high-resolution versions of the selected file or files. When this option is deselected,
your Avid editing application imports only the selected files (proxy or
high-resolution). Your Avid editing application imports proxy files first.
Only import clips with
Good Shot Flag
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application restricts XDCAM
imports to only those clips described with the OK or KP (keep) flag. You can flag
clips with these and other descriptive values in the Sony proxy browser software.
Batch import
High-resolution Video
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application uses the Batch Import
function to import high-resolution media from the XDCAM device and
automatically conform it with the low-resolution proxy media.
Type the number of frames you want to use as handles for batch imported clips in
the Handle Length: nn Frames text box. Handles refer to material outside the IN and
OUT points that you can use for dissolves and trims with the new, shorter master
clips. The default is 30.
Automatically import
Proxies when disk is
inserted
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application imports all proxy media
stored on the XDCAM disc when you insert the disc in the XDCAM device.
Deselect this option if you want to import only selected media files.
Import Essence Marks as
Markers
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application imports XDCAM
Essence Marks as markers that you can display in the Source/Record monitor or in
the Markers Window.
Convert Proxy Audio to
Project Rate during Import
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application converts the sample rate
for proxy media (8 kHz) to the project rate when you import the media. This option
is selected by default.
Import Audio Channels Defines the maximum number of audio channels to import: 2, 4, 6, or 8. For
example, if a file has 8 channels of audio, you can select 8 to import all 8 channels
or you can select 2 to import only the first 2 channels of audio.
