WHAT IS A DTE DISK RECORDER?

A DTE DV Disk Recorder is a device that allows you to record/playback DV video directly to/from a removable FireWire hard disk drive without using a computer. Video is input or output as a

DV Video Stream through FireStore which writes/reads a DV data stream in NLE native file formats from/to a FireWire hard disk drive.

BASIC APPLICATIONS

FireStore DR-DV5000 can be used in the acquisition stage of production, the editing/post production stage and the presentation stage. FireStore DR-DV5000 is most useful in the following applications:

• Record DV video live to disk at the acquisition stage. Not only will you have an exact copy of your camcorder’s tape footage on disk with the same timecode, audio and video information, it will be possible to quickly review shot footage back through your camcorder without risking damaging the tape in your camcorder’s tape transport. This “confidence recording” will save time and reduce costly re-shoots during production.

• Clips are recorded in DTE Technology based “edit-ready” file formats such as RawDV,

VI Type 1, AVI Type 2, Matrox AVI, Canopus

VI, QuickTime or Avid DV-OMF. This will allow

A you to get your footage onto a computer (Mac or PC) and view or edit it quickly. The FireStore FSHDD-1 or external FireWire disk drive can either be connected directly to your computer (without FireStore) or through FireStore which allows you to mount/un-mount any connected drives without re-cabling or re-booting. This also allows you to capture footage to disk without tying up your computer.

MOUNTING TO A CAMCORDER

The FireStore DR-DV5000 is designed to mount directly to full size JVC Professional DV camcorders. When mounted to JVC GYDV5000/ 5000E/ 5001 camcorders, the DRDV5000 “hooks” to the rear of the camcorder in the usual position of the battery. These camcorders and DR-DV5000 also feature a 52pin connector that allows unique communication between both devices. To mount to a Professional DV series camcorder, do the following:

FireStore DR-DV5000 User Guide

1) Remove and disconnect the attached battery system from the camcorder(including battery plate if applicable). Consult either your camcorder’s documentation or documentation from your battery system for more detailed information on removing the battery system. Leave the rubber gasket that was between the camcorder and battery system in place.

ou are using a JVC GY-DV500, 550 or

2) If y ou will first need to add the supplied

700, y adapter plate to the rear of your camcorder (this plate will allow the DR-DV5000 to “hook” to the back of your camcorder.) Use the supplied four screws to mount. GY-DV5000 series camcorder owners can ignore this step.

3) DR-DV5000 features a two wire connector with black and red cables that connects main power between the DR-DV5000 and the camcorder. Connect this to the equivalent connector on the rear of your camcorder.

If you are using a digital battery system that passes battery life status to the camcorder, and are using a camcorder that is compatible with these systems, connect the following cables between DR-DV5000 and camcorder:

Anton/Bauer Digital Battery System

- Grey and Orange Cable

IDX Syncron Digital Battery System

- Blue and Red Cable

PAGE 9

Page 11

FireStore DR-DV5000 User Guide

4) “Hook” the DR-DV5000 to the rear of the

the GY-DV5000 camcorder. If you are using a JVC GY-DV5000 camcorder, use care to ensure that the 52-pin connector on DRDV5000 mounts properly to the equivalent connector on your camcorder. Harness any loose cables into the “Hidey-Hole” on the DRDV5000.

5) Once mounted, secure the two captive screws

at the base of DR-DV5000 to the camcorder. Ensure that no cables are “pinched” between the DR-DV5000 and the camcorder.

7) Finally, connect a 6-pin to 4-pin FireWire cable from the 6-pin FireWire port on DRDV5000 marked “DV I/O” to the 4-pin FireWire port on the rear of the camcorder marked “DV”.

6) Re-attach the battery system to the rear of

the DR-DV5000. Ensure to connect all power cables and utilize the supplied gasket between DR-DV5000 and the battery system. Harness any loose cables in the “Hidey-Hole” on the rear of DR-DV5000.

This final step is necessary on all JVC GYDV500, -550 and -700 series camcorders, but may not be necessary on certain JVC GYDV5000 series camcorders. On certain models (such as the GY-DV5000U(A) model), DV input/output is done via the 52-pin connector between camcorder and DR-DV5000. Check with JVC for information on different models. A flexible wire clamp located on the DR-DV5000 base provides strain relief for the cable.

INSERTING AND REMOVING FIRESTORE FSHDD-1 FIREWIRE DRIVES

The best way to get to know the FireStore FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD is by studying the supplied manual. The manual provides detailed instructions and illustrations.

INSER

TING THE HDD: Insert the drive into the slot on top of the DR-DV5000 unit. Ensure that the power switch on the bottom side of the drive is set to “On” before inserting. The drive will only insert one way and features a “key” on one side to prevent incorrect insertion. Press down on the drive handle firmly until the handle meets the top of DR-DV5000. If power is on, you will observe the power LED light up green.

FireStore DR-DV5000 User Guide

VING THE HDD: Slide the HDD

REMO release latch on the DR-DV5000 top plate toward the battery system. Once slid as far as possible, hold the latch while at the same time grasping the FSHDD-1 drive handle and pulling the HDD out from DR-DV5000.

USING EXTERNAL FIREWIRE DISK DRIVES

In addition to using FireStore FSHDD-1

ireWire HDDs in the internal slot on DR-

V5000, it is also possible to connect any

D FireWire disk drive to the HDD I/O port on DR-DV5000. Power a single FireWire disk drive on DR-DV5000 at any given time (either internal or external). If external drives are being used as additional volumes to the inserted FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD, it will be necessary to provide external power to these drives. It may also be necessary to partition and format drives before use with DR-DV5000. See page 33 of this user guide for instructions on preparing drives before use.

NOTE: It is possible to “hot swap” both internal and external FireWire HDDs on DRDV5000. Drives can be disconnected and connected from the system without the need to power cycle the unit. Ensure that DR-D is in STOP mode before removing a disk drive.

a record session get closed. This prevents errors occurring on particular files. When used with a JVC GY-DV5000 series camcorder, DR-DV5000 communicates with the camcorder first before power up or shutdown. In cases where the camera power is switched to off when DR-DV5000 is connected and ON, the camcorder will wait until DR-DV5000 is powered down first before powering both down. Again, this prevents errors occurring on particular files.

3. Infrared Remote Sensor

The DR-DV5000 infrared remote sensor is for use with the DR-DV5000 infrared remote commander. For information on the DR-DV5000 infrared remote commander, see “DR-DV5000 REMOTE CONTROL COMMANDERS on page 40 of this User Guide. This port can be disabled in infrared noisy environments if desired in the DRDV5000 settings menu.

4. LCD Display Screen

Keeper Clip and Scene Marking Keys

FireStore DR-DV5000 features the ability to quickly mark clips during record and playback to a single “Keeper” folder or multiple, prenamed “Scene Marking” folders. It is possible to use the front keypad for Scene Marking or Keeper Marking but it is necessary to first select either Keeper or Scene Marking under FOLDER PREFENCES in the SETUP menu as it is not possible to use both at once. See page 31 of this User Guide for more information.

If you have selected the KEEP preference, it is possible to mark the current clip by pressing and holding Soft Key (3) followed by Soft Key (2). KEEPER can be marked on the current clip during recording, playback or in stop mode. The KEEPER label and a relational line between the two keys is silk-screened on the DR-DV5000 front panel. It is also possible to mark a clip as a KEEPER using the KEEPER button on one of the optional remote control units. Once a clip has been marked as a KEEPER, an asterix (*) will appear next to the track number ("X-XXX*) on the LCD. To add all clips marked as a KEEPER to the Keeper Folder on the disk drive, select UTILITIES -> ORGANIZE FOLD from the DR-DV5000 menu.

If you have selected the SCENE MARK preference, pressing and holding Soft Key (3) followed by Soft Key (2) allows you to mark each clip into particular pre-named folders on disk (up to 10 folders can be prenamed. Default names for the folders are 0 through 9. See page 35 of this User Guide to setup folders). By holding Soft Key (3) down and repeatedly pressing Soft Key (2), it is possible to scroll though the available folders. It is also possible to SCENE MARK clips to folders using the numeric keypad on the supplied remote control

units. SCENE MARK can be marked on the current clip during recording, playback or in stop mode and once selected, the clip will be marked for placement into that particular folder. To add all SCENE MARKED clips to their respective folders on the disk drive, select UTILITIES -> ORGANIZE FOLD from the DR-DV5000 menu.

For more on KEEPER and SCENE MARKING, see page 35 of this manual.

Backward Search Key

Pressing the backward search button multiple times will result in increases in the search speed during playback. This mode is bidirex in forward X times normal search speed, a press of the Back Search button will result in FF speed being slowed down by one step. For instance, if user is in 10X FF speed and presses the Back Search button once, they will now be in 2X FF mode. This applies vice versa for backward search speeds. Speed resolution is as follows: (NTSC, PAL will have slightly different multiples for < 1X):

REVERSE : -30X, -10X, -2X, -1X (reverse play), -1/2X(-15fps), Still.

FORWARD: Still, +1/2X (+15fps), +1X (play), +2X, +10X, +30X

Forward Search Key

Pressing the forward search key multiple times will result in increases in the search speed during playback. This key has the same characteristics and bidirex function as the backward search key listed above.

Standard forward search and reverse search also have a “higher resolution” mode where more speeds are available. By pressing and holding the SHIFT key plus the forward or backward search key, the user has access to a larger number of playback speed choices. This mode is the same as

Standard Forward Search in that it is also bidirex. REVERSE: -30X, -25X, -18X, -15X, -12X, 10X, -8X, -5X, -4X, -3X, -2X, -1X, -15fps, 10fps, -6fps, -5fps, -3fps, -2fps, -1fps, Still

FORWARD: Still, +1fps, +2fps, +3fps, +5fps, +6fps, +10fps, +15fps, +1X, +2X, +3X, +4X, +5X, +8X, +10X, +12X, +15X, +18X, +25X, +30X.

NOTE: When using the DR-DV5000 remote control units, holding down the particular button will not repeat the function as it does on the DRDV5000 control panel. For repeat sequences, the button must be pressed multiple times.

Play Key

Starts playback of the selected clip. By pressing and holding the SHIFT key plus the play button, DR-DV5000 will immediately go into reverse play mode.

Backward Index Key

The DR-DV5000 RECORD MODE MENU allows different record functions to be enabled. User simply selects the mode. Pressing SEL will open the sub menu. Pressing EXIT will exit back to the menu screen. Once a particular mode is selected in the Record Mode menu, the unit will remain in that mode until a different mode is selected.

Available items in the RECORD MENU are:

NORMAL REC RETRO DISK RETRO CACHE LOOP RECORD SNAP TIME LAPSE DUMP TO DISK DUMP TO TAPE

NOTE: When an inserted or attached HDD is nearly full, in some record sessions, the HDD time remaining may display “001min” remaining. If RECORD is triggered, DR-DV5000 will sometimes display NO SPACE LEFT. It is advised that when a disk drive is close to being full, other disk drives are readily available in order to avoid lost footage.

Normal Record

Standard and default record mode. When REC is triggered, DR-DV5000 begins standard recording. A single press of a STOP trigger will put DR-DV5000 into REC PAUSE mode. A second press puts DR-D

V5000 into STOP mode.

Retro Disk Record Mode

RETRO DISK Record Constantly buffers video in a loop to a determined amount of space on the HDD so that when record is triggered, a retro time period can be added to the beginning of any clip.

RETRO DISK has the following characteristic. Pressing a REC TRIGGER when in RETRO DISK mode puts DR-DV5000 into a RETRO DISK state (DR-DV5000’s tally light will flash as if in PAUSE state). DR-DV5000 is actually recording in this state, but until the RECORD TRIGGER is pressed a second time, the video recorded will record over itself in a continuous loop. RETRO DISK always keeps at least the amount of time that is selected by the end user in a series of one minute clips. For instance, if the user sets the RETRO DISK value to 3 minutes, they will always have 3 minutes (made up of three, one (1) minute clips) of video saved to disk. As the recording goes past the 3 minute point, a fourth clip is created. Once that clip reaches one minute, the oldest of the previous 3 clips is deleted. Another fourth clip is then created.

If a user selects a RETRO session that is 60 minutes or greater, instead of one minute clips, DR-DV5000 creates 9 minute, 13 second clips (2GB clips on disk). The characteristics of RETRO DISK remains the same. The larger file size prevents DR-DV5000 reaching its 999 track limitation for very long RETRO records. Due to the larger files sizes, the maximum amount of drive space available is decreased in order to accommodate the last recording in a session. For instance, if a user has 90 minutes of disk space

remaining, after the user sets RETRO record to greater than 60 minutes, the available space changes to 88 minutes of available disk space. If the user sets RETRO time to 88 minutes, the recording will be made up of about nine and a half 9 minute, 13 second clips. There must be space available in this situation in order to record the final clip which eventually will right over clip 1. This ensures that at any given time, at least 88 minutes of video exists after a compete RETRO DISK record loop.

TE: DR-DV5000 must always have at least one

NO minute of disk space (under 60 minutes) or 9 minutes, 13 seconds of disk space (when RETRO DISK value is set to greater than 60 minutes) remaining in addition to the RETRO DISK value that has been set, in order to function correctly. For instance, it is not possible to set a RETRO DISK value of one minute if only one minute of disk space remains.

Once RETRO DISK time is set, the user can exit the Menus and return to the Main Screen. An “L” will now appear next to the record symbol on DRDV5000’s display. Pressing the REC trigger once will put DR-DV5000 immediately into RETRO DISK RECORD. Clips are being recorded to disk for X number of minutes in one minute increments (each as a separate track). The tally light will flash (as if the unit is in pause). When the REC trigger is pressed, DR-DV5000 will kick out of RETRO DISK mode and go into standard record. All one minute tracks in the set loop sequence will appear and be saved as their own tracks on disk (e.g. 1001, 1-002, 1-003 etc.) except for the recording that was in progress, which takes on the characteristics of a standard track. At this stage, DR-DV5000 is essentially in standard record mode (the “L” on the display will disappear). No frames will be lost across tracks during the record session. Once paused, the unit will return to RETRO DISK record mode again (the “L” will reappear in the LCD and viewfinder) for further RETRO recordings or until it is disabled n the RETRO DISK Menu.

RETRO DISK can be used in LOCAL, SYNCRO SLAVE RECORD and SPLIT SLAVE RECORD control modes.

WARNING: Make sure DR-DV5000 is in STOP mode before removing the disk drive from the system. Do not attempt to remove when DRDV5000 is in REC or REC-PAUSE mode.

Retro Cache Record Mode

RETRO CACHE RECORD constantly buffers video in a loop to a 10 second data buffer to cache video so that when record is triggered, a retro time period can be added to the beginning of any clip.

NOTE: Retro cache mode utilizes the same memory data buffer as used for shock protection on DR-DV5000. If Retro Cache mode is not being used, all the DR-DV5000 cache is available for shock protection. If Retro cache is ON, the shock buffer time will be reduced by the amount of cache time that is selected and therefore performance may vary.

RETRO CACHE has the following characteristic. Pressing a REC TRIGGER when in RETRO CACHE mode puts DR-DV5000 into

O CACHE state (the TALLY light on

a RETR

V5000 will flash as if in PAUSE state).

DR-D

V5000 is actually recording in this state,

DR-D but until the RECORD TRIGGER is pressed a second time, the video recorded will record over itself in a continuous loop. It is much the same as RETRO DISK recording in theory except that it utilizes a data buffer that is separate to the disk drive to cache video. RETRO CACHE is also accurate down to the frame instead of the 1 minute clips used in RETRO DISK. Once a RETRO CACHE value is set, pressing the REC trigger once will put DR-DV5000 immediately into RETRO CACHE Record. A “C” will now

appear next to the record symbol on DRDV5000’s display and also in the camcorder’s viewfinder. Video is being recorded to the DRDV5000 cache. The tally light will flash (as if the unit is in pause). When the REC trigger is pressed, DR-DV5000 will kick out of RETRO CACHE record mode and go into standard record (the “C” on the display will disappear). Any clip that is recorded in this mode will have the contents of the cache added to the beginning of the clip. Once paused, the unit will return to RETRO CACHE record mode again (the “C” will reappear in the LCD and viewfinder) for further RETRO CACHE recordings or until it is disabled in the RETRO CACHE REC Menu.

RETRO CACHE RECORD can be used in LOCAL, SYNCRO SLAVE RECORD and SPLIT SLAVE RECORD control modes.

WARNING: Make sure DR-DV5000 is in STOP mode before removing the disk drive from the system. Do not attempt to remove when DRDV5000 is in REC or REC-PAUSE mode.

Loop Record

The LOOP RECORD feature allows video to be recorded to available disk space on the connected disk drive(s) in an endless loop. To use LOOP RECORD, simply select in the DRDV5000 RECORD MENU. Once highlighted, an “O” will appear on the top line of the DR-

V5000 LCD next to the PLAY/RECORD

D STATUS SYMBOL. When record is triggered, DR-DV5000 will begin recording on available disk drive space. Like the RETRO DISK feature, when DR-DV5000 is in LOOP RECORD mode, it records sequential one minute clips to the disk drive. When only one minute remains on the disk drive, DR-DV5000 loops back to record over the oldest one minute clip and so on. It is possible to PAUSE DRDV5000 in this mode and then continue a LOOP RECORD by starting record once again. DR-DV5000 will remain in LOOP RECORD mode until a recording is stopped. Once stopped, the files on disk will not be erased if a

new LOOP RECORD session is begun. If the available time on disk is 60 minutes or greater, DR-DV5000 will record sequential 9 minute, 13 second long clips instead of one minute clips. The larger file size prevents DRDV5000 from reaching its 999 track limitation for very long LOOP RECORDS.

Snap

When SNAP is selected and REC is triggered, a single frame is grabbed. SNAP can be used with LOCAL, and SPLIT SLAVE RECORD control modes.

If SNAP is the RECORD MODE when power is cut to the unit or it is turned off, on re-boot, DR-DV5000 will be in NORMAL REC mode.

Time Lapse

It is possible to select a time lapse interval of up to twenty-four hours. Interval is the period of time between DR-DV5000’s capture of a single frame of video (a value of 00:00:01:00 means one frame will be recorded every second). REC INTERVAL is set by the user pressing the up and down buttons. Time is selectable in seconds (up to 59), then minutes up to 59. Buttons can be released at any time to slow advance. EXIT will exit back to the menu screen.

AV/C is utilized in PLAYBACK and RECORD situations where DR-DV5000 is controlled by an external FireWire device (such as a DV NLE system), connected to the "DV I/O port" on DR-DV5000. For example, you may like to record the ouput of your NLE's timeline to DRDV5000.

NOTE: AV/C is NOT for use in DR-DV5000 RECORD MODES.

Syncro Slaved

In SYNCRO SLAVED mode, the camcorder and DR-DV5000 share the same REC trigger and DRDV5000 is slaved to the camcorder. Once set and the user exits the CONTROL MENU, they will return to the default splash screen. DR-DV5000 also immediately enters REC PAUSE mode and a “Y” appears next to the record symbol on the camcorder viewfinder and LCD (GY-DV5000 series only) as well as the DR-DV5000 LCD. All triggers of REC and REC PAUSE are controlled by the camcorder exclusively. Every time the camcorder REC button is pressed, DR-DV5000 goes into the particular RECORD MODE that is selected. When pressed a second time, DRDV5000 goes into REC PAUSE. Another press of the REC button on the camcorder again starts the particular RECORD MODE that is selected. At this point, a new track is created on disk. Timecode generated by the camcorder is recorded to the file when DR-DV5000 is set to EXT TC mode.

USING SCENE MARKING

The FireStore DR-DV5000 SCENE MARKING feature allows clips to be marked for placement in particular folders during recording, playback or stop mode. When a drive is formatted using FireStore, ten folders will be created numbered 0 through 9. After format on FireStore, it is possible to connect the HDD to a computer and give each of these folders a custom name (if you need help mounting your FireWire HDD to your computer system, see section titled "Getting FireStore Recorded Clips onto a Computer" on page 36 of this User's Guide). To rename each folder, simply click on the folder name until it is highlighted, then type in the desired name of the folder.

NOTE: Folder names cannot exceed eleven characters.

PAGE 35

Page 37

FireStore DR-DV5000 User Guide

Folders will be ordered on FireStore in numerical followed by alphabetical order. For instance, if folders are named “Scene 1”, “Scene 2” and “Auditions”, they will appear on FireStore as “1 Auditions”, “2 Scene 1” and “2 Scene 2”. The folder number is added in front of the folder name on the FS-3 LCD display for easy identification when using the optional remote control commander keypads. If you would like to create a custom order to Folders, it is recommended that you change the name to change the numerical /alphabetical order.

To use SCENE MARKING, it is necessary to first enable the SCENE MARK setting under FOLDER PREFs in the SETUP menu. Once you have selected the SCENE MARK preference, pressing and holding Soft Key (3) followed by Soft Key (2) allows you to mark each clip into the selected, prenamed folder on disk. By holding Soft Key (3) down and repeatedly pressing Soft Key (2), it is possible to scroll though the available folders. Each SCENE MARK FOLDER is shown on the DRDV5000 LCD display.

If the DR-D

V5000 PLA

Y MENU is set to "TRACKLIST" the name of the SCENE MARKED folder will appear without brackets on the LCD display (e.g. 2 DEFENSE). If the PLAY FROM menu is set to "FOLDERS", the name of the SCENE MARKED folder will appear in brackets on the LCD display (e.g. 2 <DEFENSE>).

It is also possible to SCENE MARK clips to folders using the numeric keypad on the supplied remote control units (see page 40 of this User Guide for more infor

mation). To add

all SCENE MARKED clips to their respective folders on the disk drive, select UTILITIES -> ORGANIZE FOLD from the DR-DV5000 menu and answer yes to "Organize Clips". Once complete, an additional file is added to the disk named "grade" and files are moved to the selected folder for easy access on an NLE system. Do not delete the file named "grade" from the disk if you intend to use the disk on FireStore again.

GETTING FIRESTORE RECORDED CLIPS ONTO A COMPUTER SYSTEM

Once you have recorded clips to your FireWire disk drive using FireStore, it is possible to use those clips in most computer based DV NLE systems.

Traditionally, in order to get footage into your NLE system, it was necessary to capture or digitize that footage utilizing a video capture card. Using FireStore DR-DV5000 recorded clips, it is possible to skip this capture stage by simply connecting the FireWire disk drive to your computer via an OHCI compliant IEEE1394 (FireWire) PCI card or connection. FireWire disk drives that were used with FireStore DR-DV5000 can be connected to any computer system that will read a FAT 32 volume. This includes Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Mac OS9 and OS10. FAT32 volumes will not work with Windows NT and older Macintosh based operating systems. Check the FOCUS Enhancements’ website (www.FOCUSinfo.com) for more information.

the drive if necessary (some FireWire disk drives receive power from the computer’s FireWire connection. Consult your FireWire disk drive documentation for more information).

Mounting FireWire Disk Drives to Windows XP, 2000, 98SE and ME Computer Systems

On a Windows based computer system, simply double click the My Computer icon on the top left hand corner of the desktop. You will see the following window:

Locate your FireWire disk drive. This will probably be labeled (E:), (F:), (G:) etc. (drive C: is usually your computer’s main disk drive). Once located, double click on the FireWire disk drive. (If you have trouble locating the FireWire disk drive, right mouse click each drive and select Properties from the menu. Click the Hardware tab which will list the drive type).

Once opened, you should see the following window:

The FireWire disk drive contains several different files. Clips can appear as RawDV (.dv), AVI Type 1 (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSa01), AVI Type 2 (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSb01), Canopus AVI (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSb01), Matrox AVI (YYYYMMDDHHMMSSm01 with a separate .wav audio file per track), QuickTime (.mov) and Avid OMF (.omf with two separate .aif audio files per track.).The FAT32 file system has a limitation where any particular file cannot exceed 2GB in size. This equates to roughly 9 minutes of recording time. When clips are being recorded to FireStore that exceed 9 minutes in length, FireStore automatically creates a new file without dropping any frames. The two clips will have the same primary file name, however, the last tow digits will be different. The first 2GB part of the clip will be labeled with “-01” after the primary file name. The second 2GB segment will be labeled with a “-02”. Additional 2GB segments will be labeled with a “-0X” number. With most NLE systems on a Windows computer, it is possible to utilize clips within the timeline simply by selecting the clips on the source v connected F

olume (in this case, the

ireWire disk drive) and importing them directly into the NLE’s bin. Clips can then be immediately used in the NLE’s timeline. With FireWire disk drives such as the FireStore FSHDD-1, the drive itself is fast enough to directly stream the clips to the NLE eliminating the need to copy or transfer the clips before use. When utilizing the Avid OMF file format, it is necessary to follow the following steps to import clips.
