AVC-Intra Timeline
—
As an addition to the playback support of AVC-Intra in
version 6.5, version 7.0 now has the option to create both AVCI-50 and AVCI-100
sequences, which completes the end-to-end support fo this format as it will transfer
to the K2 Summit. To set this up,
Tools | Options | Audio/Video
includes an option
for AVCI when the video format is set to an HD format. Due to the intensity of
AVCI-100 playback, some lesser performing systems, such as laptops, may have
a hard time playing this format.

Multi-tiered SmartBins
—
SmartBins have been modi
fi
ed to detect and monitor
bins within bins in the new Summit/K2 database.
•
Elimination of Media Import SmartBins
—
With the advent of the K2 hotbin,
the Aurora Edit Media Import Smartbins have become redundant within the Aurora
system, even for Final Cut Pro work
fl
ows. Therefore there is no longer a Media
Import SmartBin option within the bin properties dialog. Pre-existing Media Import
SmartBins will continue to function, but support has been removed from the 7.0
system.
•
Elimination of Caching
—
Although a cache service still exists for Aurora Edit
7.0, the process of caching
fi
les locally or trickling back to the shared volume has
been removed. No changes to setup or con
fi
guration are required. In addition, cache
directories may still be entered at the time of install, but this information will be
ignored by the application.

Use Con
fi
gured Web Proxy Setting
—
A new setting to bypass the con
fi
gured
web proxy has been added to each application within the Aurora Suite. This
checkbox pertains to environments that have MediaFrame enabled. For Aurora
Edit, the checkbox is found in
Tools | Options | General
and will become active
only with MediaFrame turned on. When checked, the application will continue to
go through the con
fi
gured Web Proxy settings in order to communicate with
MediaFrame services. When not selected, web calls through MediaFrame services
will bypass the con
fi
gured settings.
•
Updated SmartBins setup options -- The SmartBins setup tool has additional
con
fi
guration options:
Con
fi
gured Web Proxy -- If this option is selected, the application bypasses the
con
fi
gured web proxy. If not selected, the web calls through the MediaFrame
service bypass the con
fi
gured settings.
Ignore Subclips option -- If this option is selected, SmartBins do not act on
subclips.
Wink K2 Generated Quicktime Files -- If this option is selected, SmartBins will
wink K2 generated Quicktime
fi
