Notes about capturing to Matrox .m2v files
When capturing to Matrox .m2v files, keep the following points in mind:
• Automatic scene detection (Scene Detect) is not supported, but batch capture
is supported.
• An associated . xmp metadata file is created for all captured and logged
(offline) . m2v clips. These files are created in your specified video capture
folder, and contain time code and other information that you provided for
your .
m2v clips, such as tape name, description, and scene. You can open the
. xmp files in Adobe Bridge. Take care not to delete the .xmp files and always
keep them with their associated . m2v files. Otherwise, you won’t be able to
batch capture logged . m2v clips, and the time code information won’t appear
for your . m2v clips in the Project panel.
• Matrox . m2v files are to be used for DVD authoring with Adobe Encore.
However, if you want to use your Matrox . m2v clips in Adobe Premiere Pro,
be aware of the following issues:
$
The associated . wav files for your .m2v clips are not automatically
imported to the Project panel.
$
When performing a batch capture of . m2v clips, the captured video and
audio clips won’t be automatically imported to the Project panel. Because
you won’t be able to link the logged (offline) clips to the captured files on
disk, you’ll have to import the batch captured
.m2v clips manually. As
well, if you recapture clips using batch capture, captured video clips will
be imported automatically only if you choose to delete the original media
files from disk.
$
When you place a Matrox . m2v clip on a video track, an empty associated
.wav clip will be placed on an audio track beneath it. To get rid of this
clip, select it in the sequence and choose Clip > Unlink . Once you’ve
unlinked the . wav from the . m2v , you can select the . wav clip on the audio
track and delete it.
$
It’s recommended that you don’t add handles (extra frames) to your
captured
.m2v clips. If you do, the handles will be appropriately trimmed
from the video when you add the clip to your sequence, but the handles
won’t be trimmed from the associated audio.
