Please note the following
points about importing footage from the browser:
- To maintain the editorial structure and
transitions of the Wiretap timeline, it is recommended that you
import the Wiretap timeline by dragging and dropping from the browser
directly to the empty Storyboard area.
- If the Storyboard already contains a
timeline, the new timeline is added as a layer above the existing
layer(s). It is added at its record timecode position (not at the
drop point), which contains the new timeline content.
- If the Storyboard or timeline is empty,
importing a timeline from Wiretap automatically creates a cut. The
name of the cut is the same as the name of the timeline.
- Source clips containing long tape names
(more than seven characters) are supported.
- For long timelines, consider creating
a new cut before dragging and dropping a clip from Wiretap. See
Creating a New Cut.
- It is possible to load multiple timelines
from Wiretap into different Lustre timeline layers (this is
only applicable if you are using a Wiretap server version older
than 2010 Extension 1). This is useful to create a timeline as it
appears in the Visual Effects and Finishing application. In this
case, the Visual Effects and Finishing artist must create multiple
timelines, one for each layer. In Lustre, you manually load
these into the current timeline. Lustre adds each layer based
on the record timecode of the Wiretap timeline.
- Once the Wiretap timeline is regenerated
as a Lustre timeline in the Storyboard, the source clips are automatically
added to the Shot bin.
- If you drag and drop the Wiretap timeline
directly into the Shot bin (as you would for local footage), only
the source clips are imported into the Shot bin. The timeline is
not created in Lustre.
- By default, audio tracks are imported
along with the timeline it is associated with. If you do not wish
to import any audio over Wiretap, disable the Include Audio button.
For more information about importing and playing back audio from
Wiretap, see
Importing Audio From Wiretap.
- Once shots are loaded into the Storyboard,
information about the selected shot is displayed in the Shot Info
field.
