Automatic Duck Media Copy 3.0 - Manual (Page 3)

Do not select a write-protected volume such as a CD-ROM or any other location you
don't have permission to write to, not only will the copy fail but the plug-in won't be able
to generate the HTML log to explain what the error was.
Click Copy
After you have provided Media Copy with the source file(s) that reference your media
files and you have specified a destination, you can press the Copy button to start
copying your media.
HTML report
When Media Copy is finished processing and copying your files it will write a report as
an HTML file that you can view in your web browser.
When you have "Preserve source media paths" enabled the Destination Path column in
the HTML report shows the path the file is stored in relative to the selected Destination
folder.
The HTML report file is saved in the Destination folder.
Report only
Press the “Report Only” button to only to generate the HTML log file rather than copy all
of the source media. This is useful to get an idea of where media is located, and the
total project size.
What Media Copy doesn't do
Media Copy does not rewrite your AAF, OMF or XML files with the new media paths
after the files are copied. The source files will still have the original media paths. This
isn't a problem for Pro Import FCP or Pro Import AE, the plug-ins will search for your
media files.
Media Copy does not trim or consolidate or otherwise reduce your footage, it copies the
entire file that your AAF, OMF or XML points to.
Media Copy does not transcode or convert your footage. The media files are copied,
which means the files that are written are exactly the same as the files that are read.
Media Copy does not copy DPX sequences that Final Cut Pro might be using via Glue
Tools. FCP's XML file only contains the first frame of the DPX sequence, and that is all
Media Copy will copy. At this time Media Copy does not know how to get the other
frames of the DPX sequence.
