Managing Assets

Video streamed or uploaded from a camcorder is automatically stored in a C3 Portal bin as an asset. Assets are managed using the [Asset] screen.

  1. In the tree panel, select a bin based on the project, title, date, or other criteria.
  2. Select an asset from the asset list.
  3. Click the (Preview) button to display the preview.

    The preview area appears and displays a preview video of the selected asset.

    Hint

    • You can also display the preview by double-clicking the asset.
  4. Mark an In-point/Out-point and add essence marks and subtitles as required.
  5. Create subclips as required.

    You can save the range marked by a configured In-point and Out-point as a subclip.

To download an asset

Select an asset and click the (Download) button to display a dialog. Select the type and naming of the file to download in the dialog.

To transfer all added assets to a bin

You can automatically transfer all assets stored in a specified bin and all assets subsequently added to the bin to an FTP server, external storage, or Sony Ci service.

When you select a bin in step 1, select [Transfer Settings] from the context menu and select the connection type for transfer.
