Using Profiles and Export Settings

Using Profiles in Export

Profiles allow you to export the same clips in different formats, with different settings, at the same time.

Each profile is a predefined export setup.

This means you can prepare multiple outputs depending on:

• destination

• codec

• file structure

• audio setup

Instead of changing settings every time, you select a profile and export.

Managing Profiles

Profiles are managed using the Manage Profiles button.

Here you can:

• enable or disable profiles

• assign a Short Name (used in the UI)

• assign a Long Name (used for description or format identification)

This helps you clearly identify what each profile is used for.

For example:

• one profile for DNxHD delivery

• one profile for ProRes

• one profile for low-resolution files

General Profile Settings

Each profile can be configured independently.

Export destination

You can define where the files are exported:

• local drive

• shared storage

• NAS

• post-production location

File naming

Profiles allow you to build file names using templates.

You can combine:

• server name

• camera name

• clip name

• timecode in

• date and time

This gives you full control over how files are named when exported.

Example:

• Server + Camera + TC In

• Name + Date

Each profile can use a different naming structure.

Tags

You can assign tags to the export.

These tags can be used to organise files and make them easier to identify later.

Export history

You can define how long export history is kept in the system.

This is visible in the server information and export task status area.

Export options

Profiles allow you to define how clips are exported:

• normal frame rate with audio

• normal frame rate without audio

• high frame rate with audio (for super slow motion)

This gives flexibility depending on what is required downstream.

File Format Settings

In the File Format tab, you define codec and wrapper.

Available options include:

• DNxHD (MXF OP1a)

• DNxHD (MXF OPAtom / AAF)

• DNxHD (MOV)

• XDCAM (MXF OP1a)

• H.264 (MP4)

• H.264 (TS)

• H.264 (MOV)

• ProRes (MOV)

You can also define audio bit depth:

• 16-bit

• 24-bit

Each profile can use a different format.

Audio Settings

In the Audio tab, you define how audio is handled for export.

Track configuration

You can define:

• the number of audio tracks

• the audio setup for each camera

Each camera can use its own audio settings.

Audio presets

You can use audio presets.

These presets must be prepared in advance.

They can then be assigned per profile.

Apply to All

You can apply the preset to all cameras at once, or skip this option and press OK to apply audio settings to each camera independently.

Imported clips

Audio presets can also be applied to imported clips.

Auto Backup Settings

In the Auto Backup tab, you define how clips are automatically exported.

Export timing

You can choose when export starts after clip creation:

• immediately

• after 35 seconds

• after 5 minutes

• after 1 hour

Camera selection

You can define which cameras are included:

• individual cameras

• specific groups

• preview/clean/dirty feeds

• imported clips

This allows full control over what is automatically backed up.

Woody Ingest (Avid Integration)

In the Woody Ingest tab, you configure integration with Avid Technology.

You can define:

• connection to the ingest service

• available profiles

• authentication

• destination paths

This allows exported clips to be sent directly into Avid workflows.

Use this only when working with Avid environments.
