Capturing and Importing
Clips and Stills
Capturing is the process of acquiring external material from tapes, memory
cards, web cameras, DVDs, CDs, etc. and digitizing the material, if neces-
sary, for use in EDIUS projects.
When capturing material for use in EDIUS, you may capture the entire
source or just portions of the source that are defined in a batch capture list.
These captured clips are stored in the Asset Bin. Material may also be cap-
tured directly to the Timeline for immediate use.
Importing is the process of making existing clips and stills stored on the
EDIUS computer local disk, or other attached storage, available in the Asset
Bin for use in EDIUS projects.
Supported File Types
The Asset Bin can contain clips of any of the following file types and exten-
sions:
• AVCHD (.m2ts, mts)
Note Using the AVCHD Converter (available in the Tools folder of the EDIUS instal-
lation DVD) to convert AVCHD files to AVI using the Canopus HQ Codec can
improve editing response time.
