You can copy only the necessary parts when Grass Valley HQ files or DV codec AVI files, for example, are imported to the storage on the PC.

Note

  • Sources in removable media such as AVCHD video camera or digital camera and XDCAM EX sources cannot be partially copied and imported.

Note

  • Partial transfer is not executed automatically when a source has been dragged and dropped from the Player onto the timeline or bin.

  • When a source in BD is added to the timeline or bin, partial transfer sometimes is automatically executed with chapters taken as the In and Out points even if the In and Out points have not been set on the Player.

Transferring Only Necessary Parts

If there are clips that are directly referencing the files in a device, only parts currently in use can be batch-copied to the storage.

1) Click [File] on the menu bar, and click [Partial Transfer] → an item.

  • Partial transfer is started in the background, and the transferred file is saved under the project folder.

  • To cancel a partial transfer, select and right-click the job in the [Background Job] dialog box, and click [Stop] or [Stop All].

    [Background Job] Dialog Box

  • In the case of sources that are incompatible with partial transfer, a message is displayed so that you can select whether to transfer the entire source.

  • When a clip after partial transfer has become an offline clip, [Transfer the Missing Area] or [Undo transfer] can be selected from the [Restoration Method] list in the [Restore and Transfer Clips] dialog box.

  • When a clip partially transferred with EDIUS 5 is in use, it can be returned to its original clip.

    Right-click the partially transferred clip, and click [Replace Partially Downloaded Clip with Original Clip]. When a clip directly referencing a file on a device has been partially transferred, the link destination is returned to the file on the device from the file after transfer.
