Ingesting video files
Video clips that are created using third-party applications must be ingested into the Xmedia
Server before they can be used by the Xmedia Suite applications.
As the instructions below describe, when a video clip is ingested into the system, the New
Media dialog box contains a Windows Media Player for previewing the video clip before
ingesting it.
Also worth noting, the file that is to be ingested does not yet have a proxy image (thumbnail)
associated to it. Although a proxy image is not required, it does make identifying the clip
easier when it is displayed in Proxy View in the Asset Gallery. Xstudio allows you to assign
a proxy image to the clip when you are ingesting the clip. Should you choose not to specify
a proxy image for the clip, a generic proxy is assigned to represent the clip asset in Proxy
View (figure
4-12 ).
