Chapter 4: Avid Unity MediaNetwork Workflows for Pro Tools 35
Transcode video Transcodes the video to the res-
olution specified in the Pro Tools Export Set-
tings and renders all effects. This option is
grayed out when the project format is set to
720p or 1080. If the media has already been
transcoded, then it won’t be transcoded again. If
only some files require transcoding, only those
files will be transcoded.
New video mixdown Exports a video mixdown
using the video transcode resolution in the Edi-
tor Export Settings or the Pro Tools Export Set-
tings dialog. This option is identical to the pre-
vious “New video mixdown” option. The option
is grayed out if the Project Format is 720p or
1080.
5 Click OK to check in the sequence to Interplay
for Pro Tools.
Audio Handles
In Media Composer 3.5.4 or higher, when a se-
quence is checked in for Pro Tools, two-second
handles are added to all of the audio clips. If un-
derlying audio is available, the starts and ends of
the clips can then be trimmed out by up to two
seconds, using the Trim tool in Pro Tools.
After Checking In a Sequence to
Interplay for Pro Tools
The system exports the sequence from the Avid
application, and then checks in the sequence to
Interplay.
If the Interplay folder containing the exported
sequence has been configured with video and
audio settings defined in the Editor Export Set-
tings for Pro Tools plug-in, those settings are ap-
plied to the sequence. (These settings can apply
to either the entire database or to one or more
folders, depending on how they are configured.)
When you use an Avid application to check in a
sequence to Interplay for Pro Tools, the system
chooses a destination folder in the Interplay da-
tabase based on the current Interplay view set-
tings, with the default destination folder as fol-
lows:
Projects\project_name\bin_name
If your check-in destination folder is a folder for
which settings have not been defined, the sys-
tem displays the Pro Tools Export Settings dia-
log so you can specify the settings.
