• To import/transcode files into the K2 system, do one of the following:
• If you import SD only, place the SD files in the SourceFiles folder.
• If you import HD only, place the HD files in the SourceFiles folder.
• If you import both SD and HD, place SD files in the SourceFiles folder and place HD files
in the HDSourceFiles folder.
• Open Carbon Admin and on the Active Jobs tab, monitor transcode/import progress. Then find
the K2 clip in the bin configured as the Import Watch Folder K2 bin.
• To export/transcode clips out of the K2 system, in AppCenter place the clips in the bin configured
as the Export Watch Folder K2 bin. Open Carbon Admin and on the Active Jobs tab, monitor
progress. Then access the exported files in the
DestFiles folder.
Only clips new to the bin are exported/transcoded. If there are clips in the Export Watch Folder
K2 bin that were present prior to configuring the bin as the Export Watch Folder, those clips are
not exported/transcoded.
