Ingesting media files using the File Ingest Server
3. Open the watch folder and add media files to the appropriate subfolders (I MAGES ,
C EL A NIMATIONS , C LIPS , I MAGES ) based on the target/final asset type that will be
ingested into the Xmedia Server, not the source file type (see note below).

You will place the files in the subfolder that represents the final ingested asset type. For
example, if you are ingesting a .MOV file and the instance is configured to convert f MOV
to OXI, then the MOV must be placed in a C
EL A NIMATIONS subdirectory, because the target
asset will be a cel animation. Similarly, if the instance is configured to convert image
sequences to VAF, then the image sequences must be placed in a C
LIPS subdirectory
because the resulting asset will be a video clip.
4. Return to the server’s Monitoring window. After a few seconds you will begin to see a
listing of the files to be ingested, their file sizes and progress status in the upper pane.

When large amounts of files are submitted for transcoding and/or ingesting, they may be
placed in an ingest or transcode queue. The Queue tab provides the queue status in two
panes (N
O -T RANSCODE Q UEUE & T RANSCODE Q UEUE ).
5. To verify if any errors occurred during the transcoding or ingest, click the Errors tab on
the server’s Monitoring window. The file is identified along with a description of the error.
