If You Need Help

If you are having trouble using your Avid product:

1. Retry the action, carefully following the instructions given for that task in this guide. It is

especially important to check each step of your workflow.

2. Check this ReadMe file for the latest information that might have become available after the

documentation was published. Also check online for the most up-to-date ReadMe because

the online version is updated whenever new information becomes available. To view the

online ReadMe, select ReadMe from the Help menu, or visit the Knowledge Base at

http://www.avid.com/readme.

3. Check the documentation that came with your Avid application or your hardware for

maintenance or hardware-related issues. In addition to the printed documentation supplied

with your editing application, the documentation is supplied in PDF format when you install

the application. Topics that you print from the Help have limited page layout and formatting

features. If you want to print a higher quality version of Help information, Avid recommends

that you print all or part of the PDF version of the appropriate Avid manual included in the

Online Library for your editing application. To access the Online Library, select Help >

Online Library from within your Avid editing application.

4. Visit Avid Online Support at www.avid.com/onlineSupport/. Online support is available 24

hours per day, 7 days per week. Search the Knowledge Base to find answers, to view error

messages, to access troubleshooting tips, to download updates, and to read or join online

message-board discussions.
