Importing Enhancements Files
To create enhancements that you can edit into the Timeline, you need to import an enhancements file. This enhancements file must be processed through MetaSync Manager to verify that it conforms to Avid specifications and to create a unique ID for each enhancement.
The Avid editing system performs the following actions during the import process:
 | |
Validates the information in the AEO file against Avid specifications.
If the file does not conform, an error message is displayed.
|
| |
Creates objects and adds them to the selected bin and the media
database. These objects, called Meta clips or enhancement clips, share
the characteristics of other master clips.
|
| |
(Windows only) (ITV SMPTE-363M enhancements only) Creates
either a graphic of the HTML file or a matte key, depending on the
contents of the HTML file.
|
| |
Creates bin columns that correspond to the attributes of the
enhancements (META Name, META Type, and so on) contained in the
enhancements file.
|
To import an enhancements file:
| 1. | |
Open and activate the bin into which you want to import the
enhancements file.
|
The Select files to import dialog box opens.
| 3. | |
Click the Files of type pop-up menu (Windows) or the Show pop-up
menu (Macintosh), and select MetaSync Files (*.aeo) to view only
Avid enhancements files.
|
| 4. | |
Select the file or files you want to import.
|
| 5. | |
(Windows only) If the enhancements file includes enhancements that
use Overlay mode:
|
| – |
|
Select a video resolution compatible with the resolution used in
the sequence.
|
| – |
|
Select a video drive for storing the matte media.
|
The Avid editing system imports the enhancements file and creates enhancements in the bin.
