Calibrated Software MP4-EX Import Assist v3 - Manual (Page 37)

‘Refresh – FCP 7’ page (Mac OSX only)
You can access this option
by opening Calibrated{Q} Import Assist application and clicking on the word ‘Refresh – FCP 7’
TO UPDATE FILES IMPORTED INTO FCP 7 WHILE IN DEMO MODE
‘Refreshing’ is needed to update the duration of any MXF file or MP4 file that you had previously imported into FCP 7
while in DEMO MODE.
After proper licensing Calibrated{Q} MXF Import or Calibrated{Q} MP4-EX Import on Mac OSX, you may still encounter
that MXF or MP4 files that you had imported into Final Cut Pro 7 while running in DEMO MODE will still only show 30
seconds of duration. This is due to the fact that Final Cut Pro 7
will ‘remember’ the duration of an imported MXF or MP4
file and FCP 7 has to be told to ‘re-look’ at the MXF or MP4 file to see the proper duration.
Calibrated{Q} Import Assist ‘refresh’, is sending Final Cut Pro 7 a command to 'silently' reconnect to the MXF or MP4 file.
This silent reconnect command tells Final Cut Pro 7 to re-look at the MXF or MP4 file and update its properties (including
duration) if necessary.
