Understood that it’s not a hard and fast rule, but it help efficiency to have less, sometimes substantially less than 5,000 clips in a catalog. OK, so the basic limitation for the number of clips in a catalog is around 5,000. * For media playback 3rd party codecs may be required.So the transition “back” to Avid continues it’s interesting path. Supported media and metadata is imported to CatDV, the Avid MXF media is relinked and metadata available to all CatDV users.Ĭlips and sequences can be simply dragged into Avid by selecting the AAF Tool icon and dropping onto any open Avid bin. Master clips, sub-clips and sequences created in Avid Media Composer can be exported to CatDV. Media can be ingested and transcoded using the CatDV Worker and then Pegasus can send the clips to Avid. Shot lists with added meta data can then be prepared off site and then sent to the Avid NLE for editing. Logging clips and sequences can be performed outside of the Avid edit suite saving valuable time and resources. This means CatDV can collaborate with Avid as never before, providing a full round trip of media and supported metadata. Supported media is relinked within Avid media Composer. The CatDV AAF Tool supports import of Avid created sequences, Master Clips and Sub-Clips. Sequences, Master Clips and Sub-Clips can be exported to Avid Media Composer from CatDV.

You can perform conditional actions, such as only perform a transcode if the proxy file doesn’t exist, or check whether a file can be opened by QuickTime or FFmpeg before deciding which exporter to use.ĬatDV Pegasus includes native playback of a wider range of media types.

Pegasus custom actions combine the capabilities offered by CatDV Pro and the CatDV Worker Node.Ĭustom actions can be used at all stages of your workflow, for example to transcode clips to a particular pre-set movie format, to quickly log clips by setting metadata fields from a stored template, to upload files to a site such as Vimeo or YouTube, or to integrate with other third party tools or programs.
