IMPORTANT
• Please observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in permanent data loss.
While a CF card is connected to the computer:
- Do not remove the CF card or the CF card reader while editing or accessing the clips on the CF card.
- Do not access, change or delete any of the CF card’s folders or files directly from the computer. Always access
the files on the CF card only using the procedure described above.
When the camcorder is connected directly to the computer:
- Do not open any of the CF card slot covers and do not remove the CF cards.
- Do not disconnect the USB cable.
- Do not turn off the camcorder or the computer.
NOTES
• When using a commercially available card reader, use of a UDMA-compatible card reader is recommended.
Linking clips previously backed up onto a virtual media
Using AMA architecture, you can link clips to Media Composer directly from virtual media in local folders on the
computer to which you backed up or moved clips beforehand, using Canon XF Utility. This is convenient when you
want to use the CF card immediately to continue recording.
For details about backing up clips onto local folders in the computer, refer to Canon XF Utility Instruction Manual.
1. Start up Avid Media Composer.
2. Select File > Link to AMA Volumes.
3. In the dialog box that opens, navigate to the local folder where the virtual media is stored and click Choose
or Open.
• To verify the location of the local folder where the virtual media was saved, control (^) -click on the desired
media in the media panel of Canon XF Utility and click Virtual Media Properties in the contextual menu that
opens.
• The Bin window will open and show the clips saved in the selected local folder.
4. Continue the editing operation in Avid Media Composer.
Consult the software's guides and help files as necessary.
