Appendix B, Matrox Axio Workflows
Offline HD codec workflow examples
The following workflow examples demonstrate two different uses of the Matrox
Offline HD codec. In the first example, the codec is used to capture clips to an
offline HD format for use in an offline editing project. In the second example, the
codec is used to export clips to an offline HD format for use in an offline editing
project.
Workflow example for capturing offline HD clips
In this workflow example, the Matrox Offline HD codec is used to capture video
clips for use in an offline editing project that is to be completed on a remote
editing system. Because the remote system has the Matrox VFW software codecs
installed, the system can be used with Adobe Premiere Pro to produce the offline
edit. When the offline edit is complete and trimmed (using the Adobe Premiere
Pro Project Manager), the Premiere Pro project (.prproj) file is transferred to the
Matrox Axio system so that it can be used to complete the project’s online
version.
On Matrox Axio, a new online project is created using a finishing-quality project
preset, such as an Uncompressed HD project preset. The offline project file is
then imported into the new online project. The offline clips are unlinked and
recaptured at full-resolution using the codec specified by the project preset. The
online editing project is then exported to tape for broadcast.
