Transfer of Edited Segments
The server sets MARK-IN and MARK-OUT points in a clip as “edit pointers.” For all edit
operations within a given server, these pointers produce “virtual edits” that save disk space,
and the time it would take to re-write the marked region as a new file.
When transferring clips via FTP, depending on the method used, either the material between
the edit points or the entire clip is transferred.
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 29 .
