Setting Up Indexing

1. First open the Calibrated{Q} MXF Import Options application

Location in Windows:
[System Drive]\Program Files\Calibrated\Applications\Options\CalibratedQMXFOptions.exe

Location in OSX:
/Applications/Calibrated/Applications/Options/CalibratedQMXFOptions.app

2.

Go to the ‘index’ page of Calibrated{Q} MXF Import Options application

3. Select to save the Index files in the Clip Directory or a Custom Directory.

-The Clip directory will save the Index files in the folder that the MXF file is located in.

-If you are saving to a Custom Directory, the Index files will be separated by folders labeled by the Creation Date
and Company name Metadata found in the MXF File.

Congratulations

– you have now setup Indexing for MXF files.


Some of the benefits of using a Custom Directory on your

local

video harddrive is that the created Indexed files are out of

the way (as the Clip directory where the MXF file resides tends to have a few other ancillary metadata files) and there’s a
lot less of a chance that you will inadvertently use the Index file in your workflow or an application.

Please choose the directory that fits your workflow best.
