Chapter 1 Summary — Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec

Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec

With EDIUS, you can edit 4K and high-denition video in individual frame units. Optimal codec for editing high-resolution video is Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec. By using the Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQ X Codec, the editing response time can be dramatically improved. When you use the Grass Valley HQ Codec, approximate le size will be 7 times larger than the HDV (it may vary depending on the video or settings), therefore, it is recommended to use a hard disk drive that is as fast and large as possible.

Grass Valley HQ X Codec supports 4K and 10-bit video quantization bitrate.

Each window can be resized by dragging its side line or the corner edge. As the windows snap to each other, you can place windows aligned by side line or corner edge. The window layout can also be saved.

When Displaying in Dual Monitor

When Displaying in Single Monitor

f When multiple windows are placed in alignment, all the snapped windows can be resized at one time by resizing one of them. Resize

operation with [Shift] on the keyboard held down resizes only the selected window. However, this function may be unable depending on the setting of Windows.

Preview Window

Direct Input of Value

You can directly enter values with [0] to [9] on the keyboard.

Select the input field and enter the value on the keyboard.

f You can enter the value in the HHMMSSFF format (H = hour; M = minute; S = second; and F = frame). For example, enter “43S21F” or

“4321” in only numerics for 43 seconds and 21 frames. Enter “10M” or “100000” for 10 minutes. If entering “3H2M1S0F”, the value will be “03:02:01:00”.

Press [Enter] on the keyboard.

Offset Input

You can enter variation values in the input eld.

Select the input field and enter the variation value from the current set value.

Press [Enter] on the keyboard.

f Enter “-” before the value to decrease the set value. f Enter “+” before the value to increase the set value.

f Offset input is only available for entering the timecode.

Setting with Arrow Keys

You can enter values with keys on the keyboard.

Select the input field and change the value with arrow keys on the keyboard (↑, ↓, ←, →).

Project Operations

Creating New Project

This section explains how to create a new project when or after EDIUS starts. To create a project, set a project format according to the format for the export destination, and register it as a project preset. Project presets are registered in advance, depending on the application. If this happens, select a project preset according to the format for

the export destination.

Creating New Project Presets at Initial Start-up

When you start up EDIUS for the rst time after installation, congure the format of the project to create, and register it as a preset.

Click [New Project] in the [Start Project] dialog box.

f The [Create Project Presets] wizard will start up.

Check more than one item for [Size], [Frame Rate], [Bit] (in this order), and click [Next].

f Congure the video size and frame rate, and video quantization for the project format to create with EDIUS. Multiple check boxes can be

selected for each item.

f Set a video quantization bitrate to 10 bits to edit with 10 bit precision retained. However, it may turn out to be the 8 bit precision depending

on the effects you use. The formats that can be imported with 10 bit precision are Grass Valley, HQX AVI, uncompressed AVI, AVC-Intra, QuickTime, Grass Valley HQX MOV, and XAVC. The formats that can be exported with 10 bit precision are Grass Valley HQX AVI, AVCIntra and uncompressed (v210) AVI.

Check the content.

f A list of formats corresponding to the setting congured in step 2) is displayed.

A preset of the checked formats will be created. Uncheck the formats you do not use.

Chapter 2 Project Settings — Restoring Ofine Clips

Restoring Ofine Clips

Restoring Source Link

This section explains how to restore the original source when the source cannot be referenced by the clip.

About Restoration of Ofine Clips

This function helps to restore the original reference source le when you lost the link from the clip. Clips registered in the bin are linked with their source. If the source used in a project le is moved or deleted, the clips linked to that source

become ofine clips. If there are ofine clips on the timeline, an icon to indicate the presence of ofine clips and the number of the ofine clips are displayed on

the timeline status bar.

The ofine clips on the bin and the timeline are displayed as below, and the video and audio are both muted during the playback.

Example:

Ofine clip in the bin

Example:

Restoring Ofine Clips

Select a restoration method for the ofine clips.

Click the [Open Project] list button on the timeline.

Click [Restore and Transfer Clips].

f Registered clips that are reference AVI les will be marked as ofine clips if any part of the source is moved. In such cases, the of ine

clips cannot be restored.

The reference AVI is a le containing only the audio data entity and destination information, developed by Grass Valley with its own extension within a range of the specication. It is dif ferent from regular AVI les.

f Files can be captured or restored only when matching the following conditions:

g Video information exists.

g The reel name is set.

g Source le extensions are *.avi, *.m2t, *.mov, or *.mxf.

Restoring Clips That Cannot Reference Clip Part

The clips will be partial ofine clips under the following conditions: when a portion that forms a clip containing a proxy, when the proxy created with EDIUS cannot be referenced, when a portion of the partially transferred clip cannot be referenced, or when either L or R side of the stereoscopic clip that has the stream of both L and R sides in 2 les.

In EDIUS, you can proceed with “Proxy originated editing” in which you use a proxy source when editing, and replace it with a highresolution source before nal exporting. A proxy clip used in this proxy originated editing (a proxy clip with reference information in highresolution) is a “temporary editing clip”. A temporary editing clip can be easily replaced with a high-resolution clip using the source browser.

Example:

Partial ofine clip in the bin

Example:

Temporary editing clip in the bin

Example:

Partial ofine clip in the timeline

If there are partial ofine clips or temporary editing clips on the timeline, icons and the total number of the ofine clips, partial ofine clips, and temporary editing clips (or untransferred clips) are displayed on the timeline status bar.

For P2, if a source le that only has a proxy (XML) is imported from the source browser, it will be recognized as an untransferred clip.
