Adjusting QuickTime Source Settings
You can change the dynamic range of a linked AMA QuickTime movie from 601/709 video
range (16-235) to RGB range (0-255) or from RGB range (0-255) to 601/709 video range
(16-235). This setting is only supported with QuickTime movies that were created with a
non-Avid codec, including ProRes, H.264 and Animation.
When a QuickTime clip displays in the bin, the system displays the metadata columns of the
clip’s color values.
To change the QuickTime source settings:
1. Link the QuickTime clip through the File > Link to AMA File option or to link to multiple
QuickTime files, use the File > Link to AMA Volume(s) option.
See “The Avid Media Access (AMA) Workflow” on page 374 and “Linking Media with
AMA” on page 388 for information on linking.
2. Right-click the QuickTime clip in the bin and select Set Source Settings.

If your QuickTime movie was created with an Avid codec, the Set Source Settings option will not
be available.
The Source Settings dialog box opens. The clip displays in the video area.
For information on settings in the Settings menu and how to apply a setting, see “Applying a
QuickTime Source Setting” on page 424.
