The Review Player adapts the viewing quality to your connection automatically, but you can tune it from the View Settings controls in the bottom-right corner of the player.
Change the picture quality
Click the sliders icon to open View settings.
Pick the mode that fits what you're doing:
Auto (default) — best for most reviews; adapts to your network and device.
Accuracy — the best available quality, for colour and image review.
Compatibility — optimised for low-bandwidth networks or legacy devices.
A Now viewing line at the top of the panel shows the format being streamed right now — resolution, colour and bit depth (e.g. FHD · SDR · 4:2:0 · 8-bit) — and, if converted, what it was converted from.
When you're not on the best available quality, the panel warns that the image is reduced. Switch to Accuracy before making any colour, lighting or focus decisions
Export the timeline
For the highest-fidelity playback in a screening theatre — from local media rather than a stream — you can export a published review's reel as an interoperable timeline and open it in Avid Media Composer.
Open the review drawer, open the more actions menu in its header, and choose a format:
OTIO — OpenTimelineIO, an open timeline interchange format (recommended).
EDL — a widely supported edit decision list (CMX 3600).
You'll get a message confirming the export, or telling you if it couldn't be made.
No media is exported — only the timeline. It carries everything Avid needs to relink automatically (tape, start timecode, clip name and frame rate), so it conforms against your own lab-delivered media with no manual matching, ready to play back in the theatre.
