Using Ki Pro Mini
Media in Final Cut
Pro
When a Ki Pro Mini CF card is removed and connected to a Mac via a 3rd-party CF card
reader (user supplied), the CF card will mount as a normal Apple HFS+ filesystem. The
REEL NAME parameter is the name of the media that will appear mounted on the OSX
desktop.
Once a CF card is mounted, each clip recorded by Ki Pro Mini will be a file on its
filesystem, which can be opened in Final Cut Pro. Because the clips were recorded as
Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422 (LT), or Apple ProRes 422
(Proxy) with proper Final Cut Pro metadata, they’re instantly ready to edit.
In Final Cut Pro's browser window you will see some of the information Ki Pro Mini saved
as data to describe the media. Ki Pro Mini saves the “Name”, “Media Start”, “Media End”
and “Reel” for Final Cut Pro.
NOTE: While Ki Pro Mini recorded files can be directly imported into Final Cut Pro for editorial, AJA
advises transferring/copying media to a local drive or disk array for editing.
Using Ki Pro Mini
Media with Avid
Media Composer
Avid DNxHD QuickTime files produced on the Ki Pro Mini are designed for use with Avid
Media Composer. While these QuickTime files can be read in a variety of other non-linear
edit systems (when the appropriate Avid QuickTime codec package has been installed),
AJA cannot verify the behavior or performance of DNxHD QuickTime files in these other
non-linear edit systems.
To use the Avid DNxHD files produced by the Ki Pro products in Avid Media Composer,
AJA recommends using the "Link to AMA File(s)" feature provided in Avid Media
Composer.
NOTE: While Ki Pro Mini recorded files can be directly accessed from Avid Media Composer via AMA
for editorial, AJA advises transferring/copying media to a local drive or disk array for editing.
