The oldest class of ABVB files (ABVB
“MSM” files) are not supported in Pro Tools
or Media Station|V10. These files were cre-
ated with versions of Media Composer ear-
lier than 7.0, and do not have the .omf ex-
tension.
At the time of this writing, IMX video files
are supported in Media Station|V10, but
not Pro Tools. Use Media Station|V10 to
transcode these files to a format supported
by Pro Tools. Check the Digidesign Web
site (www.digidesign.com/compato) for up-
dates on support for these formats.
While Media Station|V10 supports all Avid
OMF video files, Pro Tools does not support
MXF or IMX media files at the time of this
writing. Pro Tools also does not currently
support NTSC 23.976p frame rate. For soft-
ware updates, check the Digidesign Web
site (www.digidesign.com/compato).
In Media Station|V10, when capturing
from the AVoption|V10 DV input, resolu-
tion options for capture are limited to: 1:1,
15:1s, DV25 420, and DV25 411.
