5. If you’re working with proxy-resolution clips, replace them with full-resolution clips before rendering your project or exporting
it to an XDCAM disc:
a. Click the Conform XDCAM Media in Current Project button ( ) in the XDCAM Explorer window.
b. If the full-resolution clips are not available on your computer, the Conform XDCAM Media in Current Project dialog is
displayed.
c. Insert the specified disc.
If the events on the timeline have been trimmed, you can select the Trim clips to used regions when possible check box
(available only in file-access mode) to import only the portions of the media files required for the events.
If you need to choose a different XDCAM device or transfer method, click the Device button. For more information, see
Setting up an XDCAM device on page 138.
d. Select the Trim clips to used regions when possible check box (available only in file-access mode) if you want to trim full-
resolution clips to import only the portions used in your project.
e. Click Continue to import the full-resolution clips.
f. Repeat steps 5c and 5d as needed.
Clips are imported to your computer if necessary, and the events on the timeline are updated to use the full-resolution
files.
6. You can now render your project or export it to an XDCAM deck or camera.
Setting up your project for multichannel audio
If you imported your XDCAM clips with the Import MXF as multichannel check box selected on the General tab of the Preferences
dialog, your MXF files will be imported with multichannel audio. When you add the clip to the timeline, the audio channels will be
added across tracks.
The example below shows an MXF clip with six-channel audio. To take advantage of multichannel mapping in Vegas Pro, set up
your project to map each audio channel to a separate bus.
1. From the Insert menu, choose Audio Bus (or click the Insert Bus button ( ) in the Mixing Console) to create a bus in the
Mixing Console. Because we’re working with six-channel audio, we’ll add three stereo busses.
Note: Some XDCAM decks might require updated firmware to support trimming clips when connecting via Ethernet (FTP).
