Creating a Sequence
This section described the various methods to create a sequence. When creating a sequence, note the following:
• After you create the sequence, you cannot change its type. For example, you cannot convert a shotlist to a news sequence, or a news sequence to a shotlist.
• MediaCentral Production Management sequences you create in MediaCentral Cloud UX can be opened and edited in Media Composer and Interplay Assist (shotlists only).
• For Production Management sequences, the aspect ratio and the frame rate are determined by the first clip that you add to the sequence. Additional clips can have different resolutions, but they must match the initial frame rate. For example, you can mix NTSC 29.97 and 1080i 59.94 in the same sequence because both use the actual frame rate of 29.97. However if the first clip you add is 1080i 59.94 (16x9) and the second clip is NTSC 29.97 (4x3), the 4x3 clip will appear stretched. If the first clip you add is NTSC (4x3), a1080i 59.94 clip will be displayed using anamorphic squeeze.
If you record a voice-over before inserting a video clip into a Production Management sequence, the video format and frame rate are determined by the Video Format setting in the Interplay Administrator. For more information, see
Recording a Voice-Over.
• For Asset Management sequences, the target frame rate is defined when the shotlist is created. By default, you can add clips with a differing frame rate but mixed frame rate editing might be disabled by configuration settings located in MediaCentral Asset Management.
• MediaCentral Asset Management shotlists can be opened and edited in MediaCentral Asset Management Desktop.
• You cannot add Asset Management image assets to the Sequence Timeline.
