Transcode Output Settings

Use the Output settings to set an output destination for your transcode job and to change how the timecode is used.

For information on the Settings and Transcode options, see Transcode Options.

Folders Structure option box
Defines how the transcoded media is organized on the storage.
Select: To:
Reel/Resolution Establish a <reel name>/<resolution> folder structure. This is the default option.
Reel/Shot/Resolution Establish a <reel name>/<file name>/<resolution> folder structure.
Timecode option box
Select which RED media timecode to transcode. Note that when conforming an EDL, overiding the timecode data of the clips with a different timecode track will prevent relinking in the Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing applications.
Select: To:
Primary Select either the Time of Day or Edgecode timecode. Only select this option if you know which timecode has been set as the primary.
Time of Day Establish a timecode field that is set by the internal clock from the RED camera.
Edgecode Establish a timecode field that is set by the camera operator.
Media Creation Order option box
Defines the high-resolution and proxy media transcoding order.
Select: To:
Proxy/Hires Transcode the proxy media for all the shots first, and then the high-resolution media is transcoded.
Hires/Proxy Transcode the high-resolution media for all the shots first, and then transcode the proxy media.
