Avid|DS 4.02 Release Notes • June 2001 15
Documentation
Remote Processing Guide (NEW)
This new guide corrects the installation steps described in the Avid|DS 4.0 Installation & Administration Guide. It
also contains basic information on networking.
Site Preparation Guide
The Where to Find Information section of the Avid|DS 4.0 Tutorial and Compositing & Effects Guide (pages 8 and 12,
respectively) refers to the Site Preparation Guide. This guide no longer exists; the information is now in the Avid|DS
Workstation Setup Guide.
New Features Tour 4.0
The video clips contained in the New Features Tour include an audio narration. If you are viewing these clips on an
Avid|DS workstation, you may need to connect headphones or a second set of speakers to your workstation’s audio
jack to hear the narration. Note that you must use the on-board Audio PCI card connectors instead of the Merging
audio card.
Online Help
 In the processing section of the documentation, it is mentioned that the Tree Composite Node passes through
input material under certain circumstances. This is not correct in the current version of the product.
 The Preference Management section of the online help mentions that you can export script commands along
with layouts, toolbars, and keymaps. This is incorrect. Script commands cannot be imported or exported in the
current version of the product.
Quick Reference Card
Some of the DVE shortcuts do not explicitly indicate that you need to click the mouse button after pressing a key on
the keyboard:
 To convert to a Bezier segment, press the apostrophe (‘) key, and then click on the line.
 To covert to a linear segment, press the semicolon (;) key, and then click on the line.
