The following commands appear in the menu:
Rendering AudioSuite Plug-in Effects
You need to render all AudioSuite plug-ins before you can play back the effect. If you do not
render the effect manually, your Avid editing application automatically renders the effect before
it creates an audio mixdown or audio dissolve containing the effect.

When you render an audio effect on an AMA media clip, all audio media files are written as
PCM (MXF), regardless of what you set for the audio file format.
For more information, see “Troubleshooting AudioSuite Plug-Ins” on page 935.
Creating New Master Clips with AudioSuite Plug-Ins
You can use AudioSuite plug-ins to create new master clips. This lets you use multiple input and
output channels and to change the length of the media. You can perform the following operations
on the media you create:
• Apply AudioSuite plug-ins to more than one track at the same time. For example, a plug-in
might let you process two separate tracks as a stereo pair. This enables you to use plug-ins
that perform linked compression, reverb, and other effects that allow multichannel input.
• Create new media with a longer or shorter duration than the source media. This lets you use
effects that perform time compression and expansion. For example, you can use a Time
Compression Expansion plug-in to change the length of the audio file, or you can lengthen
the file in order to add a reverb trail.
• Apply one mono AudioSuite effect to multiple inputs of a master clip in a multiple-mono
fashion.
