3.10.6 IMPORTING FILES FROM THIRD PARTY SYSTEMS
Files from third parties do not have a corresponding EVS.xml file containing the
associated metadata. As they need to be available in XFile, the import function
will result in the creation of an EVS.xml file containing the metadata that the
system has been able to retrieve. File formats which can be imported are: MXF
(EVS, OP1A), Quick Time .mov, P2 (CONTENTS\CLIP\*.xml).
HOW TO IMPORT FILES FROM THIRD PARTY SYSTEMS
To import files without EVS.xml file from third party system, proceed as follows:
1.
Click the button.
The Import window opens:
2. Select the file(s) you want to import and click Open.
The imported file is displayed in the XFile List.
An EVS.xml file is created with the file metadata.
Note
For any imported file that does not have a clipname, the filename can be
used as clipname.
This must be set under Session Configuration > User Parameters >
Import: Use Filename to fill Clipname Metadata. Refer to section 3.3.8
‘Tab 8 – User Parameters’ on page 43.
