Introducing Tools and Workflow
The Core Workflow
The basic postproduction workflow within Media Composer is very simple—
you have three steps to perform when converting raw footage to master
tape: input, edit, and output.
Input the Material
Yo u c an i np ut mat er ia l to Med ia Com po ser us ing se ve ra l met ho ds:

Capture from tapes

Import or link to file-based formats such as P2, XDCAM, or QuickTime

Import still graphics and animations
Edit the Sequence
Editing a sequence can mean anything from stringing together a series of
simple shots to assembling an effects-driven feature film. The following are
involved in most postproduction workflows:

Assemble the rough-cut sequence using basic editing and Timeline-
editing skills

Refine the sequence by trimming and refining audio

Add effects to the sequence

Finish the sequence by improving picture and sound
Output the Material
Everything you edit in Media Composer has to get out of your computer
system in some way. You have several methods for outputting your work:

Print the program to tape

Lay back to a file-based format such as P2 or XDCAM

Export electronic files for use on the Web, DVD, or CD-ROM

Play out to air in a workgroup environment
