About GV Connect

GV Connect is a Grass Valley plug-in for Final Cut Pro. With the plug-in you can quickly and easily locate QuickTime files on a K2 System (SAN or stand-alone). Then you can add the files to the current Final Cut Pro project to allow editing of the files directly over the network or after transfer locally. The capability to add files without file transfer is called Edit in Place. The plug-in also includes Final Cut Pro support for Aurora sequences, growing file support, and export/render/flattening of Final Cut Pro finished sequences on a K2 system for sharing or playout.
With GV Connect you can do the following:
Import
• Browse K2 (SAN or standalone) file structure to find, preview and add or transfer clips to bin
• Browse K2/Aurora file structure to find, preview and add or transfer clips to bin
• Browse K2/Aurora file structure to find, preview and add Sequences to bin
• Browse local or network path for QuickTime files to preview and add or transfer
to bin as well as adding sequences to bin.
Export
• Export one or multiple clips or sequence to a K2 system (SAN or standalone)
• Two presets available: Export and Quick Export
The GV Connect Final Cut Pro plug-in is installed in the Final Cut Pro plug-in folder and is available on the Final Cut Pro Tools menu.

Launching GV Connect

The following are prerequisites for launching GV Connect with all functionality available:
• K2 FCP Connect must be licensed
• A GrassValley "default" drive must be mounted
• The project window in Final Cut Pro must be selected
1. In Final Cut Pro select the project or bin.
2. Click Tools | GV Connect.
The GV Connect window has two main tabs, one for exporting and one for importing. The same tool is used for both tasks and allows batch operations for both Import and export.
The GV Connect window opens with the Import tab selected by default.

• Adding media to your Final Cut Pro project
• Updating growing files
18 December 2009 GV Connect User Manual 13
Importing K2 media

Locating K2 media

1. On the Import tab, select the tab for type of media you are locating.
• K2 – Select this tab to find content on a standalone K2 client or on a K2 SAN.
• Aurora – Select this tab to find content created on an Aurora System.
• EDL – Select this tab to find sequences created by Aurora Edit or by other Final
Cut Pro editors on a standalone K2 client or on a K2 SAN.
2. If desired, sort or filter media as follows:
• Alphabetical – Sort view alphabetically A to Z.
• Last Modification – Sort by last modified date on top.
• Search – Filter the view by typing a keyword. This is especially useful when
your folder contains thousands of clips.
3. Double-click media to preview.
The clip loads in the preview window and displays clip metadata.
After you have located the media to edit, add it to your Final Cut Pro project using the Add to
Project button..

Locating other media

To locate media not in K2 storage you can browse a generic path using the Browse button, which offers the following functionality:
• Edit in place, transfer, and preview
• Locate and import sequences (XML)

Adding media to your Final Cut Pro project

1. Locate and select the media to add to your project.
2. Select the method for adding the media to your project.
• Edit in place – Use this method to add a clip to the bin without moving the
media. With this method you are playing and editing the clip over the network. This is the preferred method on a shared storage system such as a K2 SAN.
• Transfer Locally – Use this method to transfer the media corresponding to the
clip to your desired location. This is the preferred method if your editor is connected via CIFS to a stand-alone K2 client. Depending on clip size, the transfer can take a significant amount of time. Wait until the cursor no longer indicates that the operation is in progress before proceeding.

3. Click Add to Project.
The clip is added to your Final Cut Pro project.
4. To return to Final Cut Pro, close the GV Connect plug-in.
Edit the media as desired in Final Cut Pro. When you are finished you can export the media back to K2 storage.

When this icon displays a green color, it means that a clip that is in your Final Cut Pro project is currently growing in the K2 system and is ready for updating in your project.
Importing K2 media
2. When the GV icon displays a green color , click the icon and select an individual file or Refresh All.
