About importing media
You can import media using standard multimedia media and still image file formats.
Source files can be located on a local Turbo iDDR disk drive (fixed or removable
media), or a mapped networked drive.
Supported multimedia file formats
Supported still image and image sequence file formats
You can import still images and image sequence files from local Windows drives, or
networked devices. Imports are recorded using the aspect ratio and resolution you
specify. Still images are imported as a clip with a duration that you specify.
Supported file types include: .jpg, .bmp, .tiff, .tga, .gif, .png.
NOTE: Before playing a clip that is being imported from a file or stream, use the
Transfer Monitor to verify that the clip transfer rate is higher than the clip data rate.
This is required to prevent playback problems due to insufficient bandwidth.
