To record video:
▲ Note that if there is already a movie on the
Movie Track, the movie will be replaced, re-
gardless of where you start recording.
1 Place your cursor at the point you want
to start recording, or select a range of time
for the recording. You can make this selec-
tion on a timeline or on a track. If you
make this selection on a track, make sure
that Edit and Timeline selections are
linked.
2 Record enable the track by clicking the
Record button.
3 Click Record in the Transport window to
enable recording.
4 Start playing the video source.
5 Click Play in the Transport window to be-
gin recording.
6 Click Stop in the Transport window to
stop recording.
MachineControl
For far more accurate video recording, use
MachineControl to remotely control your
video source machine in synchronization
with Pro Tools. MachineControl is op-
tional software. Contact your dealer for
more information.
Blocks mode is recommended when re-
cording to the Movie Track with Machine-
Control.
Exporting Files from Avid
Programs
If you already have a project that was cre-
ated on an Avid video authoring system,
you can export it to an OMF file so the ma-
terial can be imported into your AVoption
or AVoption XL system. This exchange of
data between systems is significantly faster
and easier than other methods, such as lay-
ing-off to tape and re-digitizing. This sec-
tion uses a Media Composer project as an
example.
DigiTranslator
DigiTranslator is included with your AVop-
tion or AVoption XL package. Use Digi-
Translator to convert OMF files containing
video and audio into Pro Tools session files.
You can also use it to export audio material
from Pro Tools sessions into OMF files for
import into other systems. Refer to your
DigiTranslator documentation for more de-
tails.
What AVoption and AVoption XL
Import
AVoption and AVoption XL import only
fully rendered (flattened) compositions,
and will not play video effects or transi-
tions that require special video hardware,
or any areas of a sequence that require mul-
tiple, real-time video streams. If you import
such a sequence, you will see black frames
in place of these transitions.
