3.3.2 Using FS-2/2E Recorded Avid OMF Clips on Avid Editing
Systems
The Avid DV OMF file format was developed for use with Avid editing
systems on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Mac 0S10. These include Avid
Xpress Pro, NewsCutter, Media Composer Adrenaline, and Symphony
(with the DV option).
The Avid DV OMF file format creates three files simultaneously; an OMF
video file and two separate AIF audio files. On the computer's desktop, the
files appear as shown in the next illustration.
On the FS-2/2E, the video file (OMF) and the audio files (AIF) appear as one
track.
If you delete an Avid DV OMF file, the FS-2/2E deletes the audio and video
portions at the same time.
In order to use the FS-2/2E recorded Avid DV OMF files on your Avid NLE
system from the external FireWire drive, use the following procedure.
1. Locate the external FireWire drive on your computer.
If you have trouble, you can locate the name of the external drive by
selecting
My Computer on a Windows system. On a Mac, the FireWire
drive should appear on the desktop.
2. Open the FireWire drive when you have found it and create a new
folder named
OMFI MediaFiles.
To do this on Windows, select
File > New > Folder from the pull down
menu.
On Mac, select
File > New Folder. You must type OMFI MediaFiles
correctly in order for Avid to see the disk drive.
