8. Click the Activate Current Plug-In button to open the plug-in’s dialog box.
For more information, see “Using an AudioSuite Plug-In Dialog Box” on page 457.
9. Make any changes, and click the Preview button to preview the effect.
10. Either render the plug-in from the Plug-In dialog box, or return to the AudioSuite
window.
For more information on rendering, see “Rendering AudioSuite Plug-in Effects” on
page 458.
When you click the Render Effect button, your Avid editing application creates a new
master clip in the target bin. Your application names the new master clip by combining
the original clip name with the effect name, for example, Test Audio clip_Normalize
(Windows) or QuietClip.Normalize (Macintosh).
Your Avid editing application also creates an AudioSuite effect template in the bin as
described in “Using AudioSuite Effect Templates” on page 463.
Using AudioSuite Effect Templates
When you create a new master clip, your Avid editing application also creates an AudioSuite
effect template in the bin. This effect template contains a reference to the original master clip
to which the effect was applied.
Your Avid editing application names the template as follows:
(Windows) The original clip name is combined with the effect name, for example, Test
Audio clip - AudioSuite Plug-In Effect: Normalize.
(Macintosh) An effect file name extension is added to the effect name, for example,
QuietClip.NormalizeQuietClip.Normalize.effect.
The template is useful if you want to modify the effect after it is created.
To use a template to modify a master clip:
1. Drag an AudioSuite plug-in template into the AudioSuite window.
The Find Source From Effect button becomes active.
2. Click the Find Source From Effect button to load the master clip into the AudioSuite
window.
If a corresponding master clip exists, the system loads the master clip with its associated
plug-in values.
3. Modify the effect as described in AudioSuite Controls for Creating New Master Clips”
