Copy And Paste Video In Avid Media Composer 8

----------------------------------------------

Avid Media Composer is one of the most popular professional-grade video editing applications available today. As a user of version 8, you likely already appreciate its robust feature set and ease-of-use interface that makes it an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned editors alike.

However, sometimes even with all these great features at your disposal, things can still get complicated – especially when trying to import or export certain types of files into or out of the program. This article will walk you through step-by-step how to copy & paste a video directly from another application like Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 onto an Avid Media Sequence in just minutes without losing any quality whatsoever!

Step #1: Preparing Your Source Video

------------------------------

Before we dive into actually importing our source material, let's make sure it's ready for import first. Here are some quick tips to keep in mind:

* Make sure your target media format is compatible with Avid Media Composer 8 (e.g., ProRes .mov or MXF wraps)

* Ensure the video codec you're using doesn't cause compatibility issues during import/export

Step #2: Exporting Your Source Video

--------------------------------

Once we've got our source material ready, let's export it from its current application into a format that Avid Media Composer 8 can understand. Here are some general guidelines:

* For Windows users:

* Go to File > Export As... (or Ctrl + Option + Shift + E on Mac)

* Select the desired output container format (.mov or .mxf)

* Choose a suitable video codec like ProRes HQ/422

* For Mac users:

• Go to File > Share > Media Composer Sequence (.mcproj)...

• Click Next until you reach 'Export' section

• Underneath 'File Type,' select '.mov - Avid DNfX'

Step #3: Importing Your Source Video into Avid Media Composer 8

--------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we've got our source material ready to go, let's import it into Amediahpe. Here are the steps:

1. Launch Avid Media Composer 8 and create a new project if necessary.

2. Go to File > Import (or Option + Command + I on Mac) or use the top toolbar's 'Media' tab > 'Import' button

3. In the import dialog box, select your desired file format (.mov or .mxf)

4. Browse for and double-click on the exported video file from Step #2 above

Step #4: Importing Your Source Video into Avid Media Composer 8 (Alternative Method Using File > Batch Import)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alternatively, you can also use Amediahpe's built-in batch import feature to bring in multiple files at once. Here are the steps:

1. Launch Amediachompser and create a new project if necessary.

2. Go to Edit > Preferences (or Option + Command + / on Mac)

3. In the preferences dialog box, click on 'General' tab

4. Underneath 'Batch Import,' checkmark both boxes next to 'Import entire folder contents'

5. Click OK

Step #5: Finalizing Your Imported Video Clip in Avid Media Composer 8

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After importing your source video into Amediahpe, you'll likely need to do some additional editing and color correction work before it's ready for final export. Here are some general tips:

* Use the Timeline window's 'Razor' tool (or Command + Option + / on Mac) to split apart individual audio or video tracks if necessary

* Apply any desired effects, transitions, or color adjustments using Amediahpe's extensive array of tools and plugins

And that's it! With these simple steps, you should now be able to copy & paste a video directly from another application like Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 into an Avid Media Composer 8 project without losing any quality whatsoever. Happy editing!
