Importing Media or Files
Along with recording media from a tape source, Avid Xpress Pro can also import numerous types of files. Importing can be as easy as dragging and dropping a file into a bin. When you drag and drop a file into a bin, certain settings related to how it sees the files are applied. These settings have a direct impact on how the imported file will look. The following is a list of the most common files used for importing. To view all the files Avid Xpress Pro can import, visit Avid's website; the list changes over the years .
