®

Avid shared storage system. Sending the sequence to movable storage lets you assemble
all the media in one location for moving to a Pro Tools system. For each export method,
you can select a template that meets your needs.

authoring functions in the Avid DVD by Sonic application.

eliminates further authoring work and lets you create a Disc that plays without the
graphics, menus, or other navigation devices that are typically added during Disc
authoring.

Avid DS You can send a sequence to Avid DS as an AFE file or an AAF file.
The Avid DS Send To template does not auto-launch Avid DS by default. If you have
Avid DS installed on your system and want to launch it automatically, you can select
Auto Launch and browse for Avid DS. Select Auto Load Exported File(s) if you want the
files you export to automatically load in the Avid DS application. Select Reveal file if
you want your system to search available drives, open Windows Explorer or the folder
(Macintosh), and highlight related media files.
If you are editing an offline sequence that you want to finish on Avid DS, make sure to
consult the Avid DS Conform Guide, which contains important information about the
most efficient way of preparing a sequence for the conform process.
