TYPE OPTION:
You have the option to create two different types of QT MOV files
a.) Reference MOV file – This setting will create QuickTime Reference MOV files. This means that the QT Ref MOV
file will ‘point’ to the video and audio in the source file. The QT Ref MOV file will not contain any video or audio
from the source file. Please be careful when moving QT Ref MOV files on your computer as that may ‘break’ the
QT Ref MOV files
– meaning the QT Ref MOV file would no longer point to the source file.
b.) Self-Contained MOV files – This setting will create self-contained MOV files. This means all of the video and
audio essence in the source file will placed into the QT MOV file. Please note Calibrated{Q} Import Assist
uses the ‘Flatten QuickTime’ function in the QuickTime SDK when creating self-contained MOV files and
the time involved in creating self-contained MOV files can VARY GREATLY depending on the type of MXF
files or XDCAM EX MP4 file, size of the MXF/MP4 file and the speed of your CPU and harddrives,
LOCATION OPTION:
You have the option for three different locations when saving the QT MOV files:
a.) ‘Prompt for Folder’ (DEFAULT) – When the green light button is pressed you are first prompted to select a folder
to save the QT MOV files to.
b.) ‘Clip Folder’ – the QT MOV files are saved in the same folder as the MXF or MP4 file they are being created from.
c.) ‘Custom Folder’ – the QT MOV files are saved in a Custom Folder on that is set by you in the ‘options’ page.
When this option is selected, you will be able to choose a ‘Custom Folder Location’ to save the created QT MOV
files to.
SEPARATE BY SUB-FOLDERS OPTION:
When this is enabled then with Location Options (a) and (c) above
– the QT MOV files will be organized in folders
according to the creation date of the MXF or MP4 files.
