Accessing IFFFS Clips

 
 
 

When you import media from a Wiretap server, the Information tab displays information about the media and its path.

Note

The path to clips is displayed, but not the path to images.

a) Clip name b) Clip path

You can access a subclip by specifying the range in the path field.

You can import singe images, as well as image sequences. You can also import certain images from a sequence of images.

In general, it should be possible to import all Wiretap clips. In practice though, it may happen that the media is not supported in Composite. In this case, the images will display a red X to indicate media that is not accessible. See Supported Media Formats.

An IFFFS clip can be made up of different types of formats. For example, it can be made up of standard file formats from a NAS, or it can be made up of images from a framestore or stonefs, or both. An example of an unsupported file format is the stonefs 12-bit compressed.

Note

Contrary to standard imported file formats, no Gamma or Cineon correction options are available for Wiretap clips.
