Grass Valley GV Browse v.1.1.0 - Manual (Page 10)

About GV Connect
GV Connect is a Grass Valley plug-in for Final Cut Pro. With the plug-in you can
quickly and easily locate QuickTime files on a K2 System (SAN or stand-alone). Then
you can add the files to the current Final Cut Pro project to allow editing of the files
directly over the network or after transfer locally. The capability to add files without
file transfer is called Edit in Place. The plug-in also includes Final Cut Pro support
for Aurora sequences, growing file support, and export/render/flattening of Final Cut
Pro finished sequences on a K2 system for sharing or playout.
With GV Connect you can do the following:
Import
• Browse K2 (SAN or standalone) file structure to find, preview and add or transfer
clips to bin
• Browse K2/Aurora file structure to find, preview and add or transfer clips to bin
• Browse K2/Aurora file structure to find, preview and add Sequences to bin
• Browse local or network path for QuickTime files to preview and add or transfer
to bin as well as adding sequences to bin.
Export
• Export one or multiple clips or sequence to a K2 system (SAN or standalone)
• Two presets available: Export and Quick Export
Send to Playout
• Interface with Aurora Playout placeholders.
• Create a sequence from a placeholder.
• Export a finished sequence to K2 storage and simultaneously update the placeholder
on the Aurora Playout rundown.
The GV Connect Final Cut Pro plug-in is installed in the Final Cut Pro plug-in folder
and is available on the Final Cut Pro Tools menu.
About Aurora Edit and Final Cut Pro
This topic describes the different ways you can integrate Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit
LD with Final Cut Pro.
Aurora Edit allows you to work with Apple’s Final Cut Pro video editing application.
Files created in Aurora Edit and in a shared environment on K2 storage include a .mov
file as one of its components, which makes it compatible with the Final Cut Pro format.
You can use Final Cut Pro and Aurora Edit in two different ways in your newsroom
workflow:
• Create a sequence in Aurora Edit and export the sequence as an XML EDL that
can be imported into Final Cut Pro, then finish editing using Final Cut Pro.
