Select: Source Dimensions
IMPORTANT Select: Keep source’s frame rate DO NOT ever select: Convert to Project Frame Rate If you get an error message, see next page.
Select Your Working external drive
Select a Proxy Resolution (Either DNxHR LB - SQ - HQ HQX)* * Proxy: Editors create Proxy files for the purpose of editing. Proxies are low-resolution copies of the Masters and must only be used as editing material within Media Composer. A Proxy file must never be used as projection media, because the image quality is simply not good enough. Once the work is picture-locked in Media Composer, then editors relink their Sequence to their Masters via AMA Relink.
Click Transcode Select : Transcode
