Working with QuickTime Media
The QuickTime format (.mov) is among the most widely used media for-
mats, both in video editing and in file sharing. As of Media Composer 5.0,
QuickTime files can be read and edited using AMA.
To link QuickTime media using the AMA metho d, y ou must start with a
QuickTime movie that was created using Avid QuickTime codecs. These
codecs are installed automatically when you install Media Composer, or
you can download them from Avid’s Web site and install them yourself.
In addition to the Avid QuickTime codec that was installed to create the
QuickTime movie, you must also install Avid’s QuickTime AMA plug-in, avail-
able at Avid’s Web site.
When your system is properly configured, you’re ready to link to your files
via AMA.
To link to a QuickTime movie using AMA:
1. Select File > Link to AMA File(s). The Browse For Folder dialog
box opens.
2. In the Enable AMA Plugins menu, make sure that All AMA Plugins or
QuickTime is selected.
NOTE A number of
procedures are involved
when working directly
with RED files that you
may find useful. However,
this book will not cover
such topics as copying
RED files to a FireWire
or network drive, work-
ing with spanned clips,
or using and applying
source settings. You can
read more about these
topics in the Media
Composer Advanced
Guide > File Based
Media > RED Media.
