You can create a composition manually, or by importing a supported list file (e.g. EDL) or an AAF file.
Manual Creation
To manually create a composition, press the New Composition button in the Library screen :
This will close any open composition, create and open a new one. The new composition will be named Untitled by default but you can name it via the ..Properties dialog window or by double-clicking the Material Name field and typing a new name :
Renaming a composition manually by typing in new Material Name
The currently viewed (edited) composition has status Current Edit in the library.
|
The frame rate of the composition is set on creation to the project master format rate. |
List Import and Capture
Importing an EDL, AAF or other supported list format will create a new composition with video and audio tracks, media segments and supported effects (e.g. retimes) as per the imported list. For an Avid AAF/MXF workflow, see the Avid Integration chapter.
With an EDL, the composition will be named as per the "TITLE" field. Media segments will need to be conformed to the timeline.
A composition will also be automatically created when you capture media from a VTR device.
