files simultaneously; an OMF video file and
two separate AIF audio files. On the computer’s
desktop, the files will look like this...
On the FireStore DR-DV5000, the video file
(OMF) and the audio files (AIF) appear as
one track. If you delete an Avid DV OMF file,
FireStore will delete the audio and video
portions at the same time.
In order to use the FireStore DR-DV5000
recorded Avid DV OMF files on your Avid
Xpress DV system from the external FireWire
drive, you must do the following…
1. Locate the external FireWire drive on your
computer. (If you have trouble, you can locate
the name of the external drive by selecting
My
Computer
on a Windows system. On a Mac, the
FireWire drive should appear on the desktop).
2. Open the FireWire 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. On Mac, select
File -> New Folder.
It is important that “OMFI MediaFiles” is typed
correctly in order for Avid to see the disk
drive. Drag all the OMF and AIF files into
the new folder (do not drag in the files titled
Desktop DB or Desktop DF).
NOTE: if you are using the ORGANIZE OMF
function on DR-DV5000 prior to using the
disk on a computer, step 2 is not necessary.
3. Launch Xpress DV. Once you have opened
the desired project or created a new project,
select
Tools -> MediaTool. The following
window will appear:
4. Locate and select the external FireWire
drive under Media Drive(s). (NOTE: If the
drive does not appear, check that you have
created the OMFI MediaFiles folder correctly
with proper case and spacing. Also, check to
see that the drive is properly connected and
recognized by the computer).
Under Project(s), select
All Projects (This will
highlight all items in the Project(s) window).
Ensure
Master Clips is checked then press OK.
The following Media Tools Window will appear:
5. Create a new bin (select
File -> New Bin)
or open an existing bin in Xpress DV. Once
opened, select all items in the Media Tools
window (select
Edit-> Select All). Drag the
contents of the Media Tools Window into the
bin. It is now possible to use these clips in the
Avid Xpress DV timeline.
