Importing Sources from Source Browser

To import files saved on external devices in which file-based video or audio are recorded (e.g. CD/DVD, AVCHD camera, removable media such as SD memory card, XDCAM EX device) to EDIUS, perform the operations from the source browser. On the source browser, the folder structure of media are recognized automatically and the stored files are displayed quickly. You can also register the displayed clips to the bin or transfer the files to a PC.

Sources can be imported in the same way even when files on devices have been copied to the hard disk on the PC with the folder structure held intact.

See the Reference Manual for more details.

Note

• Sources cannot be imported from copy-protected discs.

• BD supports only the BDMV format.
