Your Avid editing application imports XDCAM media at the native resolution of the media on the
XDCAM disk. The system ignores other resolution settings — for example, in the Select Files to
Import dialog box.
You can locate the MXF media files in the following directories on your XDCAM disk:
• High-resolution media — XDCAM drive:\Clip
•Proxy media — XDCAM drive:\Sub
Importing Essence Marks as Markers in XDCAM
Media
Essence Marks store metadata about media clips. You can set Essence Marks manually or
automatically with the XDCAM cameras. Use Essence Marks to mark events such as clip start
points or audio clipping and for sorting and searching clips stored on XDCAM discs. For a
description of Essence Marks, see your Sony documentation.
You can import Essence Marks as markers when you import either proxy media or
high-resolution media. The markers appear in the bin of the XDCAM master clips, and you can
view them in the Source/Record monitor, in the Timeline, and in the Markers window. For
information on using marker information as you edit, see “Suggested Uses for Markers” on
page 523.
To import Essence Marks as markers:
1. Double-click Import in the Settings list.
The Import Settings dialog box opens.
