To import files saved on external devices in which file-based video or audio are recorded (e.g. AVCHD video camera, professional-use video camera, removable media such as SD memory card, XDCAM EX device) to EDIUS, perform the operations with the source browser.
Sources imported from the source browser are registered to the current folder on the bin at the same time that they are transferred to hard disk on the PC.
You can set the transfer destination used when importing files by clicking [Application] in [System Settings] → [Source Browser].
Source files can be imported easily from AVCHD video camera/removable media/XDCAM EX/P2/XDCAM/XF devices using the source browser.
Files can be checked immediately or transferred in the background by simply connecting a device or drive to your PC and inserting the storage media.
If you use Mync bundled with EDIUS, you can import clips registered in Mync or storyboards created with Mync to EDIUS.
When importing XDCAM sources or K2 sources via the FTP server, set the FTP server connection settings in the system settings in advance to import sources easily from the source browser.
K2 sources copied to the hard disk on the PC can be converted to MXF files using the source browser.
When each of the sources has been copied to the hard disk with the folder structure held intact, the sources can be imported simply from the source browser if the reference folder is set up in the system settings in advance.
Sources can be imported from an AVCHD video camera or removable media such as SD memory card, memory stick and BD. Sources are registered to the bin at the same time that they are transferred to the PC.
Connect an AVCHD video camera or removable media to the PC, and check that the power is turned on. For more information on connection methods, see the manual for your device.
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.
Supported formats are AVCHD, BD, SD-Video, Memory Stick Video, and DCF (still images saved in digital camera file format). Only the BDMV format is supported for BD.
