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.
