Select & Register
• Connected via i.LINK or an XDCAM FTP server, choose XDCAM Select
from the Capture menu. Select the clips you would like to work with,
right-click and select Register to Bin.
Editing with proxies
• To edit with proxy files only, from within the Download window select
Download after register > Proxy Download. Choose the files you want to
work with and press Register to Bin. Proxy data is indicated by a P on
the thumbnail, and it can be edited in the timeline as you would any
other footage.
Auto-conforming from proxies
• Edit your entire project using proxies,
select XDCAM HD Exporter, give the
project a name and location, and you
will see a further dialog box relating to
proxy clip handling
Auto-conforming from proxies
• Choose Export after Importing Hi-res Data
and the hi-res data will be automatically
inserted to create the final output.
Editing with hi-res data
• If disk space is not an issue, you can check Hi-res Download and Proxy
Download. Proxy files are copied in a matter of minutes, but the hi-res
files will take some time. But you can still edit using proxy files while the
hi-res data is transferred in the background. You will see a dynamically
changing timeline as the data transfer plays catch-up.
