Using Avid OMF Clips

FS-4 Pro only

These steps are required when using Avid OMF formatted clips.
The Avid DV OMF file format was developed for use with Avid
editing products on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Mac 0SX. These
products include Avid Xpress Pro, NewsCutter, and Media Composer
Adrenaline (with the DV option).
The Avid DV OMF file format creates three files simultaneously; one
OMF video file and two separate AIF audio files. On the computer's
desktop, the files appear similar to those shown below.
On the FS-4, the video file (OMF) and the audio files (AIF) appear as
one track.
When an Avid DV OMF file is deleted, the FS-4 deletes the audio and
video portions at the same time.
