Learn MXF transcoding

00:10

Any time you upload an asset to Flow Capture

00:13

several transcoded proxy files will be generated automatically such as lower

00:17

level resolutions or SDR proxies for HDR assets that are up.

00:23

However,

00:23

there's another transcode that Flow Capture can handle for you if

00:26

you turn it on and that's our transcode to MXF feature.

00:31

If you'd like us to transcode your uploaded files into DNX 36 or DNX 45 format,

00:37

you can easily toggle that on

00:39

and they'll be generated during the upload process.

00:43

To do so, first select the folder where you'd like to turn those trans codes on,

00:48

then click on upload options on the right

00:51

and you'll see this option towards the bottom.

00:55

You can have flow capture transco to DNX 36

00:59

DNX 45

01:02

or both

01:03

depending on your needs.

01:05

Note that these transcodes are off by

01:08

default and that they can't be done retroactively.

01:12

So if you'd like us to transcode these

01:14

MXF, you'll need to toggle these on before you upload your content.

01:19

MXF files won't be playable within the platform,

01:22

but they will be downloadable by anyone with the appropriate permission set.

01:29

Note that MXF

01:30

files cannot be watermarked

01:32

So only those with their permissions to download

01:35

non watermarked files will be able to download

01:38

MXF.

01:40

Transcoding to MXF is especially powerful

01:43

if you're using Flow Capture for immediates

01:45

as it allows for footage shot just moments ago to be downloaded and brought into

01:49

an editing suite only a few minutes after

01:51

it's captured and from anywhere in the world.

01:55

We'll cover using Flow Capture for immediates in a separate tutorial.
