Importing and copying footage into your editing system and storage.
Ingest is the process of bringing footage off cards or drives into your project and backup storage, often with renaming, transcoding or proxy creation. A disciplined ingest protects originals and sets up a clean edit. It is the first step of any professional workflow.
A clean project structure built before the first cut is the difference between an edit that flows and one that fights you every step of the way.
Proxies are lightweight stand-in files that let you edit high-resolution footage without overwhelming your computer — and switching back to the originals for final export takes only a few clicks.
