FS-100 Functions
FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder
78
Make Ref MOV
Version 4.x only
This utility generates one or more QuickTime Reference Movie
files for each video clip in QUICKTIME , QUICKTIME PN , and
QUICKTIME 24P DTE file formats.
Creating the reference movie file streamlines the workflow for FCP
users. In FCP, the reference movie file can be dragged into the
appropriate timeline and all associated video and audio files are
automatically utilized.
Number of reference movie files generated per clip depends upon
the HDD MODE and length of recording. A reference movie file is
generated for approximately every 2 hours of content in a clip. See
the following table for details:
The maximum number of Reference Movies that can be generated
at one time is 500.
Final Cut Pro Users
The MAKE REF MOV utility must be performed before mounting FS-
100 in Final Cut Pro (FCP). FCP modifies content files, after which they
are incompatible with the FS-100 MAKE REF MOV utility.
Moving and Copying Reference Movie Files
When moving or copying the reference movie file, make sure to move or
copy the content files to the same folder. The reference movie file must be in
same folder as the content files.
