Admins can set the rules for operations to be done while importing files into MAM database.
Where necessary, MAM will automatically create the storyboard and proxy for the asset, tag the asset with metadata templates, transcode the file according to the pre-settings defined here while importing.
Library Options - GENERAL
You can either set MAM to create the proxy versions next to the original files or specify a target folder for the proxies.
Create Index will create indexes for archived assets, for frame matching. Please see Image Matching - 3.7.1.0 for more detail
Library Options - TRANSCODE
You can transcode all your assets to be imported into one single video profile for future purposes. As Metus MAM has a powerful transcoding engine in itself, the process will be done seamlessly while archiving. You can set transcode profiles for Image, Sequence, Video and Audio files.
If you need your assets to be transcoded to more than one video profile, you can use Batch Transcode feature. Please see Batch Transcode - 3.7.1.0 for more detail.
