104 Part I Media and Project Management
Media File Formats Supported by the Media Manager Support
The Media Manager supports most media file formats, including:
 QuickTime movie files: All Media Manager operations are supported for QuickTime
movie files with timecode tracks. Video, audio, and timecode tracks are maintained
when possible. Media trimming is supported.
 Still-image files: Still-image files can be copied and moved in their native format.
 AIFF, WAVE, and BWF files: These files can be moved and copied but they cannot
be trimmed.
 Soundtrack Pro Audio Project files and Motion projects: The Media Manager can move
and copy these files, but trimming is not supported. Any media referred to by these
project files is not moved or copied.
About Color Space Conversion in the Media Manager
Color space conversion may occur when you use the Media Manager, depending on
which task you choose from the Media pop-up menu.
 Copy: Preserves super-white values in Y´C
B
C
R
footage. This is similar to using the
Export QuickTime Movie command.
 Recompress: Clips super-white values in Y´C
B
C
R
footage, regardless of the destination
codec. This is similar to using the Export Using QuickTime Conversion command. This
option is suitable for creating offline-quality copies of your media.
 Move, Use Existing, and Create Offline: These options do not create new media, so
color space is unaffected.
