When transferring files as mxf, only the material between the edit points is transferred. This
means that:
• Transfer of a file with head and tail points set will remove portions before the head and
after the tail. The original length of the file cannot be referenced in a restored copy.
• Transfer of a master file and (non-overlapping) subclips of that file will result in
duplication only of the material defined by the subclips.
• The size of a clip reported in the file listing is the amount of video and audio data that
will be transferred based on the settings of the In Point and Out Point.
• To maintain the identity of the transferred clip, the time code references for its Mark-
In/Out points are maintained, as shown in Figure 28 .

When transferring files as .vfc, all of the material for the entire file is transferred. This means that:
• Transfer of a file with head and tail points set will include portions before the head and
after the tail. The original length of the file can be accessed in a restored copy.
• Transfer of a master file and all subclips of that file will result in duplication of all the
material in the master and the subclips. The original length of the file can be accessed
in any restored subclip. A 1 minute subclip of a 1 hour file will require the same
amount of space as the 1 hour original. Backing up both of them will require twice as
much storage as was used on the original drive. Restoring them will require twice as
much space on the server as well.
• The size of a clip reported in the file listing is the amount of video and audio data
included in the entire clip, regardless of the settings of the In Point and Out Point.
• To maintain the identity of the transferred clip, the time code references for its Mark-
In/Out points are maintained, as shown in Figure 29 .
When transferring edited material, keep in mind that you are making copies of the data on the
target device. While subclips that reference the same video content on the original recordings
take up minimal extra disk space, they could take considerably more space on the target
storage.
