Typical Workflow 7 Typical Workflow • Capture: Capturing involves transferring video from your camera onto your computer's hard drive. If the source video is in DV format you can use iMovie or Final Cut Pro. Since Cleaner also reads a wide variety of video and audio formats, you can also use it to process previously captured material in the AVI, MPEG and QuickTime formats. • Edit: Use your preferred non-linear editor to create your video master. • Organize into: Projects - A project is comprised of a source file and all the processing details associated with it. Each row in the Batch window represents a project. Batches - A batch is a group of projects. Cleaner makes processing many projects easy - you can drag and drop hundreds of source files directly onto the Batch window and quickly assign settings, destinations and other processing options. Settings - Cleaner enables you to save the encoding and general processing parameters you apply to a file as a group, called a setting. This makes it easy to assign these parameters to other files you want to process in the same fashion. Cleaner comes with a wide variety of factory settings to help you get started right out of the box. • Pre-process: Use Cleaner video and audio filters and adjustments, such as Adaptive Noise Reduction, Gamma and Dynamic Range to optimize the movie for encoding. • Add Events: All the major streaming formats offer some level of interactivity or special features. Cleaner EventStream authoring enables you to access these features to create stream navigation, synchronize HTML to streaming media, embed links and interactive hot spots, and add text tracks for inclusion in the streams. • Encode: Set the major encoding parameters, such as data rate, frame rate (fps), keyframe frequency and image size. • Publish: The Cleaner StreamPublisher feature enables you to upload the files directly to a remote streaming server or save them in a local folder on your hard drive after the file is encoded.
