Using Avid OMF Clips (FS-4Pro only)

The Avid DV OMF file format was developed for use with Avid editing
products on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Mac 0SX. These prod-
ucts include Avid Xpress Pro, NewsCutter, and Media Composer
Adrenaline (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 similar to the one shown below.
On the FS-4, the video file (OMF) and the audio files (AIF) appear as
one track.
If you delete an Avid DV OMF file, the FS-4 deletes the audio and
video portions at the same time.
In order to use the FS-4 recorded Avid DV OMF files on your Avid
NLE system, use the following procedure.
Step 1: Locate the FS-4 on your computer.
Step 2: Open the FS-4 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.
