• Automatically Group aligned clips - When this option is chosen with one of the above, stereo and other
multi-channel Clips will be grouped automatically.
Audio Options

type of Import. e.g.
AAF
• Keep as they are - existing fades rendered or otherwise are retained
• Power - forces fades to Pyramix Power curve, usually used where individual fades predominate
• Linear - forces fades to Pyramix Linear curve, usually used where crossfades predominate
Video Options
If the imported file contains Video Tracks or Clips:
• Place the Video Clips in the Timeline.
If this option is checked then any Video Clips present in the imported file will be placed in the Timeline as black
Video Clips. These Clips are usable only for reference and are not played back as such by Pyramix (see below for
playing them back). Audio in a Video Clip container is also imported and placed in the Timeline according to the
method chosen in the
Options section of the dialog.
And open the referenced Video Media:
• In Virtual Transport Video Players (if there's only one single Video Clip) or in VCube (if there are many Video
Clips).
A single Video Clip present in the imported file is opened in the
DirectShow Video Player or the QuickTime
Video Player
(depending its type). Multiple Video Clips present in the imported file are opened in VCube.
• Always in VCube.
Single or multiple Video Clips are opened in VCube.
• Don't open them.
Imported Video Clips are only placed in the Timeline (optionally) but not opened in any Video Player.
Audio present in a Video Clip ‘container’ is also placed in the Timeline according to the rule(s) chosen in
Options
above.
Imported Video Clips are saved in the project, so, when the project is opened, the Video Clips will again be present
on the timeline. The referenced Video Media will be automatically opened in either Virtual Transport Players or
VCube depending on the same options as above, but for general project opening that can be found in:
Settings > All Settings > Application > General : Project Opening Section
If the project contains references to Video Media, open them:
• In Virtual Transport Video Players (if there's only one single Video Clip) or in VCube (if there are many Video
Clips).
• Always in VCube
• Don't open them
