Indexing
(Please see next chapter ‘Indexing’ for more information)
ENABLE – This will enable indexing for Indexed MXF Files – This is recommended for working with very,
very large XDCAM-based MXF files and other types of Indexed MXF Files.
Panasonic P2 MXF Files (or other types of Constant Bit Rate video compressions) do not need indexing hence
this setting will not apply to them.
Please note that QT Ref MOV files created by the ‘indexing’ process should NOT be directly used by you in an
application
– the QT Ref MOV files created by ‘indexing’ are only intended to be used in the background by
Calibrated{Q} MXF Import - if you need to create QT Ref MOV files for use in your workf low please use the ‘qt
ref’ feature in Calibrated{Q} Import Assist.
‘Indexing’ will only work in LICENSED mode when a MXF file is over 20000 frames in duration, and has a
complete/closed header/footer and no errors in the Index Table.
Indexing Folder
This determines where Index Files will be auto-saved to.
a. Clip Folder – the folder where the MXF file resides.
b. Custom Folder – A user-chosen folder.
