Quick Start Creating A Proxy File The FS-5 provides the videographer the ability to create smaller proxy files to accompany the native format video clips. These proxy files are easy to share over networks or the internet and provide visual records for evaluating the larger native format clips. This procedure is for generating a proxy file or a selected video clip: 1. From the Home menu, press the Left soft button once to go to the UTILITIES menu.
Quick Start Proxy File Formats The format of the proxy file depends on the format of the parent video clip. Original File Format Proxy File Format QuickTime DV/HDV QuickTime (.mov) MXF (DV/HDV) AVI (.avi) M2T (HDV) MP4 AVI (DV Alll variants) AVI (.avi) RawDV (DV) MP4 For technical information about proxy files, see Proxy Videos on page 78.

Metadata This chapter covers the 2.0 additions to the FS-5’s metadata capabilities. The FS-5 2.0 supports Avid Media Composer 3.5 NLE. This chapter contains: Overview page 30 Default Template page 48 Custom Templates page 30 Video Production page 30 Logging Onto the FS-5 Web Server page 31 Metadata Pages and Functions page 32 Entry page 33 Review page 35 Export page 36 Entering Metadata page 38 Logging Metadata to Multiple 2.
Metadata Overview Default Template The default AVID MXF template is functionally similar to the other FS-5 metadata templates. The User can select which metadata tags to use, determine the type of input they receive, or assign predefined values. In addition, the User can create Custom templates that are compatible with AVID MXF.
Metadata Logging Onto the FS-5 Web Server Logging onto the FS-5 web server provides access to the metadata settings and logging functions. The pages and functions available depend on the type of device accessing the FS-5. Refer to user guide for more information. When the FS-5 web server opens, the ENTRY page appears. The first time the web server opens the ENTRY page is empty until a metadata template is selected. This is the first page that a PDA displays.
Metadata Metadata Pages and Functions FS-5 Metadata has five pages representing specific functions that are divided into two groups: User and Admin. The User/Admin tab acts as a toggle to switch between the two groups. To display the other group, click on the User or Admin tab. • Admin group includes the pages: Template - for creating and managing templates, Settings - template export/import and reel matching parameters, for more information, refer to the user guide.
Metadata Entry Use the Entry page to enter metadata to video clips. • STATUS Indicates the mode the FS-5 is currently in: Rec, Stop. • Counter Displays timecode during recording. • Track Displays current track (clip) number. • Default Template Initially the Entry page displays the metadata template selected as the default. Its name appears in the Default Template field. To use a different template, select it from the Default Template dropdown menu.
Metadata • Update Button and Metadata Fields During record or playback information can be entered in the metadata fields. Press Update to log the metadata for the video clip. For information about logging metadata, see Entering Metadata on page 38. • ADD Clicking on ADD displays the Link Units workspace. Use Link Units to connect to one or more secondary FS-5s and: Copy a metadata template to the secondary FS-5s. Log metadata on to multiple FS-5s: primary and secondary.
Metadata Review Show All Thumbnails Track dropdown list Marked Segment Track Metadata Field Use Review to examine video clip thumbnails, metadata, timecode, and in/out markers. When the Review page first appears, it is empty. To view information about a video clip the user can either select a track to view by either: • Picking a track (clip) from the Track dropdown list. • Click on Show All Thumbnails to display a set of video clip thumbnails with filenames and video format.
Metadata Troubleshooting Tip - Missing Templates Thumbnails If while working on the Entry, Review, or Template pages, thumbnails or metadata templates are missing it is necessary to run the Format utility, see FORMAT on page 63. Be certain that the Templates option is set to Clear. Save all video clips before formatting. Export Use Export to manually export video clip metadata files from the FS-5 database to User accessible xml files.
Metadata Avid Media Composer Before importing MXF files into Avid Media Composer from the FS-5, it is first necessary to run the FS-5 Utility, Organize MXF. This utility creates the Avid MXF directory structure and embeds the metadata in the MXF files. The video files are then ready to import into Avid Media Composer. In Avid Media Composer, use the Media Tool to import the MXF files into a specified bin.
Metadata Entering Metadata Metadata may be entered into a single FS-5 or simultaneously into multiple FS-5s. These procedures assume that there is a ready to use template, such as the FCP Example or AVID MXF that are supplied with the FS-5. And that it is not necessary to modify or create a new template. Logging Metadata to Multiple 2.0 FS-5s 6 4 5 8 7 10 9 The FS-5 provides the ability to simultaneously log the same metadata to multiple FS-5s located on the same network.
Metadata 7. Check-mark Log if the host unit is to log metadata on the client unit. Then any metadata entered on the host appears on the client too. 8. Check-mark Control if the host unit is to control the Record, Playback, and Pause operations on the client unit. 9. Click Link to connect to the client unit. The Status and Mode messages will change indicating that the connection is made. Repeat steps 5 through 9 for each client unit. The linked FS-5s are now ready.
Metadata Creating A Template TC Depend and Input Style In AXIF and Final Cut Pro In Apple XML Interchange Format (AXIF) templates the settings for the TC Depend and Input Style fields are grayed out because their settings are fixed and can not be changed. • By default, most but not all of the metadata fields are set as not timecode dependent. • All the metadata fields have their Input Style set as Mixed Input which permits the use of both predefined and variable, user entered, values.
Metadata Export Export to NLE XML Document There are three NLE export options: • Final Cut Pro Export Use this function to create metadata xml documents for Final Cut Pro, using the Final Cut Pro XML Interchange Format. • AVID Media Composer Use this function to create metadata xml documents for Avid Media Composer. • Generic Export This option creates a metadata xml document based on the Custom template created.
