Grass Valley HQ Codec/Grass Valley HQX Codec

With EDIUS, you can edit 4K and high-definition 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 HQX Codec, the editing response time can be dramatically improved. When you use the Grass Valley HQ Codec, approximate file 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 HQX Codec supports 4K and 10-bit video quantization bitrate.

CHAPTER 2

2 Project Settings

When working with EDIUS, the largest work unit is the project file. A project file contains various information including edit histories and video formats. This chapter explains the operations and settings of the project.

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 first time after installation, configure the format of the project to create, and register it as a preset.

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

Configure 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.

•

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, AVC-Intra and uncompressed (v210) AVI.

3 Check the content.

A list of formats corresponding to the setting configured in step 2 is displayed. A preset of the checked formats will be created. Uncheck the formats you do not use.

•

You can click [Back] to redo the settings.

4 Click [Completed].

The [Project Settings] (Simple Settings) dialog box appears, showing the created project preset as an icon in [Presets List].

[GOP Structure] For MPEG, a certain number of frames is considered as a group, and opera-

tions such as compression/enlargement and cut editing are performed on a GOP basis. A GOP comprises “I frame”, “P frame” and “B frame”. The I frame allows images to be reproduced independently, the P frame is for recording and reproducing only the differences with the preceding image, and the B frame reproduces images from the differences in the preceding and following images. Select I, P and B frame patterns of the GOP from the list. Normally, select [IBBP]. [I-Frame Only] is comprised of only I-pictures. Editing is made easier, but the amount of data increases in size.

Restoring Offline 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 Offline Clips

This function helps to restore the original reference source file 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 file is moved or deleted, the clips linked to that source become offline clips. If there are offline clips on the timeline, an icon to indicate the presence of offline clips and the number of the offline clips are displayed on the timeline status bar.

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

Example:

• Registered clips that are reference AVI files will be marked as offline clips if any part of the source is moved. In such cases, the offline clips cannot be restored. The reference AVI is a file containing only the audio data entity and destination information, developed by Grass Valley with its own extension within a range of the specification. It is different from regular AVI files.

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

Restoring Clips That Cannot Reference Clip Part

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

Example:

If there are partial offline clips or temporary editing clips on the timeline, icons and the total number of the offline clips, partial offline clips, and temporary editing clips (or untransferred clips) are displayed on the timeline status bar. For P2, if a source file that only has a proxy (XML) is imported from the source browser, it will be recognized as an untransferred clip.

1 Note

• If offline clips, partial offline clips, and temporary editing clips exist on the timeline when you export the project to a file or tape or when consolidating or exporting the project, a message is displayed. Restore the offline clips, partial offline clips, or temporary editing clips. Otherwise, they will be exported as offline clips.

Restoring Partial Offline Clips

Restore the partial offline clips by retransfer the missing source or recreating the proxy. If needed, connect the device where the original source is stored. If either the L or R side of the stereoscopic clip cannot be referenced, perform the same restoration operations for offline clips.
