Ingesting ProRes on a PC using Consolidate
If you’re using Media Composer or Symphony 6.5.1 or later, or Avid NewsCutter 10.5.1 or later, you can
consolidate ProRes files into Avid storage. To do this, AMA link to the files, select them in the bin, and choose
. Please note that AMA does not support Alpha channels, so these will not carry over with the files during the
consolidate process.
Ingesting ProRes on a PC using Import
On a PC, you can use the Import function to move ProRes into Avid storage in its original format. This is the
method to use if you’re using Media Composer/Symphony 6.0.x or earlier, or NewsCutter 10.0.x or earlier, or if
you want to preserve the Alpha channel of a ProRes file.
This will be a fast import, as the media is simply being copied and rewrapped into your Avid system but not
transcoded. This must be done from within a project and with settings that exactly match the targeted ProRes
movie.
1. Ensure that your project type matches the movie in frame size, edit rate, and field treatment. For example, if
your movie is 23.98 720p, perform the import in a project of this type.
2. In your IMPORT settings, ensure that “File Pixel to Video Mapping” is set to “601 / 709.”
3. Chose FILE > IMPORT and select the movie to import.
In the import dialog, you’ll see an option to specify the
target resolution for the imported file. If your project
settings match the QuickTime ProRes movie, the movie
will be brought in as a ProRes movie, regardless of
what might be displayed as the target resolution. Click
OK.
4. If everything is set correctly, the dialog (right) will
appear. Select the “Preserve the video resolution of the
file” radio button under “Choose Video Resolution, then
select your own option from the “Apply To” section as
desired. Click OK.
The import dialog should display “Fast Import” as the ProRes
movie gets copied and rewrapped as an MXF file into your
system.
In your bin, you will see the movie came in as ProRes media.
