Opening and Editing a Sequence Created in a Different Application
MediaCentral Cloud UX lets you open and edit sequences that you created in MediaCentral UX, Avid Media Composer, Assist, and Asset Management Desktop.
Sequences created in Avid Instinct are not supported.
You are limited in the types of sequences you can play and edit. Following are some rules for editing and playback:
• If the sequence contains up to four video tracks and include cuts only, it opens in the Media Viewer for playback and you can edit it in the Sequence Timeline.
• If you have a Production Management sequence that includes group clips, you can select the camera angle and audio mapping in a cuts-only sequence. For more information, see
Working with Group Clips.
• If the sequence contains effects that the playback service supports (such as video and audio dissolves) but was created in an application other than MediaCentral UX or MediaCentral Cloud UX, it opens in the Media Viewer for playback.
• If all effects are rendered, the sequence opens in the Media Viewer for playback. The sequence opens in the Sequence Timeline as uneditable.
• You cannot create subclips from an uneditable sequence.
• You cannot rename an uneditable sequence.
• When you load a complex, uneditable sequence into the Asset Editor, individual restrictions are not shown; instead the entire sequence might appear reserved.
• If you open a sequence from MediaCentral Production Management but you do not have a read/write role for the folder that holds the sequence, the sequence opens as read-only. You can play the sequence, but you cannot edit or save it.
When you load a read-only sequence into the Asset Editor, the buttons above the Sequence Timeline are disabled (with the exception of the Show Media Status button).
• If you create a sequence in MediaCentral Cloud UX, open and edit the sequence in Media Composer, check it back into Interplay Production, and then open the same sequence in MediaCentral Cloud UX again, note the following:
- News sequences: Retain the look of the original news sequence.
- Shotlists and Sequences: Depending on the level of complexity added during the Media Composer session, the sequence might appear as an uneditable complex sequence.
• Asset Management sequences that are edited in Asset Management Desktop might contain comments for individual segments. These comments are also displayed in the Sequence Timeline.
