Media processed in modules
cannot be recaptured and relinked to an unlinked clip. If your timeline
contains segments comprised of processed clips, and your project
workflow involves unlinking, reformatting, and, later, recapturing
media, you will need to manually convert the processed shots to
the required resolution. Use one of the following suggested workflows
to convert these shots.
Replacing Shots After Recapturing
the Timeline
This workflow is suitable
for situations where you want to retain and output two versions
of a project.
To replace module-processed shots after
recapture:
- Create the module-based effects on the
SD version and process.
- Save the setups.
- Add the shots to the timeline.
- When the project is complete, save the
current version of the timeline (for example, PAL or NTSC), and
output as needed.
- Unlink a second copy of the timeline
using Unlink Reloadable. The processed segments will be ignored.
- Reformat the timeline to the new resolution.
Select a fit method for resizing the media on the timeline; you
can use it as a reference prior to replacing it.
- Capture the material of the second resolution
and link it to the clip.
- Import the DPX material or capture the
HD source material required for the processed shots.
- Bring the DPX or HD sources into the
appropriate modules, apply the setups to this material, process,
and replace on the timeline. The timeline is now ready for output
at the second resolution.
Replacing Shots Prior to
Recapturing the Timeline
This workflow is only
suitable for projects where a single final resolution is planned.
To replace shots prior to recapture:
- Perform the module-based effect on the
SD version and process. Save the setups.
- Import the DPX material or capture the
video material at the required resolution for the shot.
- Reapply the setup in the module and process.
- Replace the shot on the timeline.
- When the project is complete, unlink
the timeline, choosing Unlink Reloadable. The processed shots will
be ignored.
A variation on this workflow
would be to create the module-based effects in the final resolution,
avoiding the need to reapply the setups, reprocess, and replace
the shot. However, you would need to have the final resolution material
for those shots available at an earlier point in the project.
To create effects on the final resolution
material:
- When you know you will work in a module,
import the DPX version or capture the HD version of the shot.
- Perform the effect on the DPX version
or HD version and process.
- Replace the shot on the timeline.
- When the project is complete, unlink
the timeline, choosing Unlink Reloadable. The processed shots will
be ignored.
- Reformat the clip to the new resolution.
Make sure the resize settings are exactly that of the final. They
will therefore not affect the module-processed media.
- Recapture the remaining material and relink.
